But, my wood is all cut and stacked and the house will be warm this winter for the Tibbies and the humans. We are trying something new with a Board Meeting via conference call later this month - hopefully this will work well and save the TSCA Board members the cost of travel. This is the LAST newsletter being done by Mary Novocin, she has done an incredible job for TSCA and her talent will be greatly missed. That said, we desperately need someone to step up and become Editor. Please contact myself or another Board member for more information. Andrea Struble is stepping down as the Breeder Referral Chairperson. A temporary appointment has been made until the position can be filled. Anyone interested as Breeder Referral Chairperson, please contact any board member. Congratulations to the Orange Blossom Tibetan Spaniel Club on becoming licensed to hold specialty shows, it’s been a long road and it’s wonderful to have another regional club! Herb Rosen is stepping down after many years of being the TSCA Delegate to AKC. Thank you, Herb, for your dedication. I am pleased to announce that the Board has voted Dianne Tyree as our next delegate, pending AKC approval. Dianne will keep the club informed of what is happening with AKC please contact Dianne with any concerns you might have. The Show Committee is moving ahead for the 2015 National in Virginia and I hope you have your reservations. More information should be out soon. We need someone (or a group of people) to step up to host the National in 2016, the bid we had was withdrawn. It really is not hard to do, please contact Dianne Tyree or Colleen Chaffee, National Specialty Coordinators, for more information.

If you are interested in helping and working on a committee, please contact any Officer or Board of Director and they will be more than happy to tell what is available. Please don't be shy!!!! m e o M ry n I A life that touches others goes on forever..... Sandra Lidster 1940-2014 I knew Sandy through Phyllis Kohler, but I didn't become friends with her until, by chance, we ended up traveling together to assist with the AKC's filming of the Tibetan Spaniel Breed Video in New Jersey. She came by my house and then we headed up to New Jersey. The first night together, Sandy fell asleep while I was talking to her. The next morning she asked me, with a laugh, “Did I fall asleep on you?” She had brought several dogs for the filming, and asked that we not use Ch. Tsand Woo Tong. When we were filming, they wanted a Tibbie other than a blonde one, and being that he was a beautifully marked boy, I asked her if we could use him. Sandy didn't think we should, but finally agreed. In the end, he was great and turned out to be a good decision. Over the years, Sandy served on many committees and offices, from President to Judges Education. No matter what the position, she got the job done. She judged the National Specialty, along with winning it with her Ch Ambrier's This Buds For You ROMX. He was a son of Ch Tsand Woo Tong. Sandy will be missed, and this year's National Specialty will be dedicated to her memory. Mallory Cosby Driskill (Ambrier Tibetan Spaniels) Terry Jones 1956-2013 I first met Terry after she acquired her first Tibetan Spaniel in 2007. We quickly became friends. Her first Tibetan was Samba, who she is pictured with, and they were great friends. Terry bred Samba twice and got her two champions Krump, which her daughter and husband still have, and Lindy, who lives with me. Lindy sat with Terry thehe hosp tal a few days before she died, that visit was such a comfort to her. Terry so wanted to see Lindy's puppies born before she left this world, but sadly it did not happen. Terry loved this breed. She was always looking for Tibetan Spaniel items to donate to the club for the auction. She went with me to the Briard Nationals in Canada and managed to come back with several Tibetan items for the TSCA auction. Terry was a wonderful woman with a big heart. Even as she lay in the hospital, just a day before she passed away, she was more concerned about my toothache than herself and she called her dentist friend in Chicago and made me leave her to go get it fixed. I will always remember Terry, she was a great lady and wonderful Tibbie owner. Christy Collins (Improv Tibetan Spaniels) Helen Richards 1948-2014 Helen was born Sept. 20, 1948 in Queens, New York and passed away August 1, 2014 in Temple, Texas. Helen is survived by her husband Harold Richards of Moody, son Darryl Richards and his wife Angel of Kerrvillle; daughter Nicole Davis of Plano, daughter Monica Richards of Killeen, and son Harold Weyland Richards of Hewett. She is also survived by eight grandchildren. Helen married the love of her life, Harold Richards, April 8, 1966 in New Port Richey, Florida. She was a homemaker and took great pride in raising and showing her beloved show dogs. To: Members of the Tibetan Spaniel Club of America Our appreciation to you for the donations that helped our club get a Pet Disaster Trailer for Calvert County, Maryland. Dr. Joyce Dandridge, Delegate Letter from Capital Dog Training Club of Washington, DC: Capital Dog Training Club would like to thank you for helping us get a Pet Disaster Trailer for Calvert County, MD. The presentation was yesterday, Saturday, September 13th and a big success. The clubs were recognized for their generosity by the County Sheriff and the Director of Animal Control. Calvert County is not a wealthy county and is surrounded on three sides by water; the Chesapeake Bay and the Patuxant River. Thus, they often get threats of hurricanes and tornadoes I was told yesterday, there is only one motel, a Super 8, that accept people with dogs. So, the need is great. It was wonderful to see how excited they were to receive all the supplies. They just couldn’t believe someone would help them like this. I am enclosing a picture of your logo on the trailer. It is very nice. I will also email some photos to your Delegate. Sincerely, Dr. Joyce Dandridge, Delegate, Capital Dog Training Club of Washington, DC. Board Meeting Minutes SCA, Inc.

National Judges Selection: There was a lengthy discussion on this subject. One possibility is to poll the membership to have each member submit 5 judges they would like to see judge. The top 30 judges from that list would then be submitted to the membership for a vote. These would be for the 2018/2019 specialties. Susan Mullins made a motion, Robert Churchey 2nd, to have the members at the 2015 General Membership meeting submit their top 5 judges that have not judged a specialty in the past 7 years, that they would like to see judge the 2018/2019 Nationals.

Karen Shilliday will be working on the Obedience/ Rally/Agility/Tracking requirements.

Nominating Committee: Connie Buckland Chair, Will Chaffee & Meg Shepherd committee members. Alternates are: Janet Habiger & Mickey Maynard. NEW BUSINESS: Judy Hardt made a suggestion for the newsletter that we go back through all the previous Specialty winners and use them as a cover until all have been featured. Judy was informed that the only time a dog will be featured on the front cover would be the Best Of Breed winner of the most recent Specialty. Discussion took place as to the possibility of having umbrellas as a fund raiser for the club. Dianne is going to check for prices, colors & sizes. Discussion took place for possibly having a Breeder/Owner trophy in memory of Sandi Lidster. The perpetual trophy would be for Owner/Handled Best of Breed at the National Specialty show in Sandi•s honor. Robert Churchey made a motion to proceed with this with funding from the membership and the TSCA matching the donations. Mary Novocin seconded. Motion Passed.

I've appealed through the yahoo group as well as in the newsletter. I'm not sure where to go from here. I really need to step down, at least for a little while, and I am willing to help out with ads and other areas that may be needed. If anyone is willing to be the Editor please contact the board.

Breeder Referral November 1, 2014 Since my last report in May, 2014 I have received 25 enquiries from potential Tibbie owners living in 17 states: California, Florida (2), Illinois, Maryland (2), Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Ohio (2), Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Washington State, Wisconsin, and two from Canada. As of November 1, there are 113 available Tibbies in the database, from new litters of puppies, to adults of varying ages. The listings represent 36 different breeders around the country. Twelve other breeders are now in the “No Dogs Currently Available” category but were previously listed with available Tibbies. Based on what enquirers were searching for (age, gender, geographical location, willingness to travel, etc.), I have provided 82 referrals since January 1st of this year (43 of those since May 1). A handful of those who enquired (perhaps half a dozen) were just seeking information on the breed and resources for learning more. The 2015 Directory is “under construction” as they say. The application deadline is November 15 (with some “wiggle room” after that date). As always, breeders not listed in the Directory may list a Tibbie with Breeder Referral for $5 (covers an entire litter or any individual Tibbie).

Tibroke’s Nothin’ Left To Imagine, ROMX “Every once in a while, a dog enters your life and changes everything.” t t a y W In Loving Memory of Wyatt December 1, 1999 – August 25, 2014 Loved & missed by Bill & Colleen Chaffee ~ SHENANWOOD Questions & Answers with Dr. Austin Donner Owner of Four Paws Mobile Veterinary Service based in Mount Airy, Maryland 1. What sort of equipment do mobile vets generally have in their vehicle, and a related question, what kinds of emergencies are they equipped to handle? Mobile practices can vary greatly. Some veterinarians operate with very little equipment and focus on either healthy-pet checkups or at-home euthanasia. Other vets purchase customized trucks or vans -- similar to recreational vehicles -- that can be configured for many different purposes. I have a Laboit truck that is basically a hospital on wheels. I opted to have most of the equipment I would have in a traditional brick-and-mortar hospital, including digital radiography (xray), an ultrasound machine, a basic laboratory, a surgical suite, and dental equipment. A veterinarian who works out of their personal vehicle can still do preventive care and internal medicine cases, but they are not going to perform surgery in your home. Some of these veterinarians who do not have a specialty vehicle but still wish to perform their own surgeries may lease space from a traditional hospital to allow for this. Alternatively, they may choose to refer clients to another veterinarian at a traditional hospital for procedures like radiography (x-ray), surgery and dentistry. Emergencies can be trickier. I functionally have a complete veterinary hospital in my truck and have worked in dedicated emergency practice for six or seven years. Saying that, I would refer more critical, life threatening cases to a dedicated ER unless I was immediately available and in the area. Being mobile, I don't know if I am going to be one minute or one hour away from an emergency. For example, it wouldn’t be a problem to stitch a planned, simple laceration on any given day. Alternatively, if your dog was in critical condition after being hit by a car and I wasn’t immediately available, I would never recommend a client wait for me to arrive. 2. Does your vehicle come supplied as a mobile vet unit, or did you have to modify a vehicle and assemble the supplies and equipment yourself? One has the choice to buy a customized vehicle from a commercial company or to customize a vehicle of their choosing. If you are very handy, I would guess that customizing your own vehicle would be more cost effective, but the vast majority of housecall veterinarians with mobile hospitals purchase commercial vehicles. Laboit and Dodgen are historically the main producers of these vehicles, but there are many newer companies that have emerged as demand for mobile veterinarians expands. Companies, like Laboit, that make mobile veterinary hospitals may also make other specialized vehicles for human doctors, dentists, and law enforcement groups. Dr. Donner’s Mobile Unit The truck comes with a basic setup including cabinets, counters and exam tables, lighting, and a sink. Each company has standard floor designs and models, but some modifications can be incorporated during construction before delivery. My truck has two compartments. The first is a larger multi-purpose area that I use for exams, laboratory work and digital radiography (x-ray). The second compartment is a smaller area that is a dedicated surgery suite with a counter, hydraulic surgery table, and surgery light. A wall with a sliding door separates the two spaces. I have an anesthesia machine that swings between both compartments so I can perform simpler procedures in the larger exam area that don’t require the strict sterility of more involved surgeries. 3. What is the nature of the majority of your calls? Are many of your clients disabled or elderly? When I started the business, I assumed that a large portion of my work would be home euthanasia and that many clients might have mobility concerns. I also assumed a large part of my patients would be cats. My initial assumptions were incorrect. Though I do perform home euthanasia regularly, the majority of my clients are just looking for a good regular veterinarian regardless of where that service is performed. Except for being unable to offer long term hospitalization, we run a full service hospital offering everything a traditional veterinarian offers to clients. I do have a few disabled or elderly clients, but the majority of my clients have no mobility issues. The fact I come to their house is an added convenience that no one ever complains about. Finally, only about 25% of my patients are cats. 4. What routine services do you offer? I offer the same service you get at any traditional brick-and-mortar hospital. We perform standard preventive care, such as vaccinations and annual lab testing, that every hospital performs. We perform most surgeries a general veterinarian can. We routinely perform spays, neuters, and dentistry, but have also performed ACL repairs, splenectomies, and amputations, on occasion. We have digital x-ray and an ultrasound unit for additional imaging modalities. We have a complete dental unit and routinely perform complicated extractions. The truck carries a full pharmacy for medical needs in addition to other instruments for the measurement of blood pressure and eye pressure. 5. What is the radius of your service area? Is that typical of most mobile vets? Do you maintain one vehicle, or have partner vets who also have vehicles? My service area is not a perfect circle from a given point. I have only a few clients who live more than 30 miles from my home base. I generally like to stay 15 miles or less when possible to maximize the numbers of cases we can see on a given day. Also, there are some areas I avoid due to traffic congestion or coverage by existing housecall practices. Our business has only one veterinarian (myself). I know of a couple of housecall practices with more than one veterinarian but I don’t know if I would ever expand, as one truck is more than enough work for me 6. Are costs much different than having to take your pet to an office? I cannot speak for every mobile practice as there is a lot of variability (even among traditional non-mobile practices), but I perceive our prices to be the same if not better than many other practices whether traditional or mobile in nature. 7. Generally, do mobile vets work traditional office hours, or are they also available “after hours” for emergencies. I would say most mobile veterinarians work standard weekday hours. I know of some that do no after hours work and others that do. I try to keep my office hours Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm. When cases and clients require something outside of these regular hours, I accommodate them where I can. After hours emergencies are typically reserved for established clients. I am not alExamination area inside a mobile vet unit ways available on nights or weekends but will see cases when I have the availability. Even if my patients end up being referred to an ER after hours, I do my best to see them the same day when issues arise. This is another reason I limit my travel radius. If I am in a smaller geographic area, it is easier to fit in emergencies and urgent cases when they develop. 8. What sorts of animals do you see regularly? The majority of my patients are dogs and cats. I see the occasional ferret as well, but do not see other exotics, birds, or pocket pets. I was required to chose a “track” in vet school at the start of my second year and I elected small animal medicine. At my vet school, small animal medicine essentially meant cat and dog medicine 10. Do you travel in the vehicle alone, or employ an assistant? I employ one assistant who is with me on most days/cases. Outside of surgery, I can do many things by myself but always welcome the help of a good veterinary nurse. Aside from helping with animal handling, my assistant definitely streamlines the handling of the day's caseload and provides a wealth of knowledge for clients. . ABOUT THE DOCTOR Dr. Austin Donner is a 2004 graduate of the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine. He has practiced in both general and emergency medicine in Virginia, Texas, and Maryland. Although he enjoyed working in emergency medicine, he missed the relationships and familiarity that develop with patients and clients in general practice. Dr. Donner’s current practice, Four Paws Mobile Vet Service, allows him to maintain a regular veterinary clientele. His professional interests include, but are not limited to, surgery, ultrasound, the management of feline chronic renal failure, and preventive health care. 11. A more personal question--what made you decide to “go mobile” instead of working from an office or animal hospital? Do you find that you enjoy this mode of veterinary practice? When I started the business, I had no personal experience with mobile veterinary medicine and did not know another housecall veterinarian. I knew that I wanted to transition back to general practice from emergency medicine and that I wanted to work for myself. I had initially planned on opening a small clinic in a shopping center as a standalone location. In addition to the expense involved, I was having a hard time finding a location that was receptive to adding a veterinary hospital. The truck allowed me to start something sooner and cheaper than the development of a brick-and-mortar practice. I find I really enjoy mobile practice. I do not see anywhere near the number of patients I could fit into a traditional practice, but I think I am much closer with my clients. Though my “productivity” and volume is lower, my costs are also held lower so everything basically evens out in the end. 12. Do you primarily treat the animals inside your vehicle, or in the pet owner’s home? We commonly go into homes, but the majority of cases are seen in the truck. I find that the truck is neutral ground for many animals so there is potentially less territoriality, less digging cats out from under beds, and better lighting when we examine patients. Also, all of our equipment is in the truck making the exam (and therefore potential patient stress) much shorter by not having to go back a forth for something not brought into a house initially. Even though we prefer patients to come out to out vehicle, there is the added benefit of being at patients’ homes. For example, if a cat is having urinary accidents in the house, being able to see their environment may allow us to make better treatments and suggestions to owners for getting things back on track faster.

Jo'Jevon Lancelot V Donandru BISS,BIS CH Ambrier Boda Zelicious Zima, ROMX Mallory Cosby Driskill BISS, BIS CH Ambrier Boda Zelicious Zima, ROMX REMEMBERING ‘ZIMA’ By Mallory Cosby Driskill Ambrier Tibetan Spaniels There are so many special memories of Zima (BISS,BIS CH Ambrier Boda Zelicious Zima, ROMX) from winning Best in Show at the Baltimore Kennel Club to Best of Breed at the 1997 National. Foundations In her senior years, Zima went on to win Best Veteran at numerous TSCA National Specialties and Supported Entry Veterans, not to mention Best in Veteran Sweepstakes. Shown in the Veteran class at the 2005 National Specialty in New Mexico, she gave her son ‘Zeke’ a run for the BOB at the supported entry, and in the end, went Best of Opposite Sex to him. It was at the National in New Mexico that I decided to have a pet psychic “talk” to Zima to understand her love of running off. The psychic told me that Zima told her she ran because it was fun! Zima was raised by her co-breeder, Shirley Howard. When I heard of a little red girl, I told Shirley she was to be mine. She arrived at the Lynchburg airport and promptly started ruling my life and that of my family. Her favorite thing was to run around the house outside, circling us many times. I guess I should have known then there’d be trouble ahead. This summer I had dinner with Ernesto Lara and Pat Sarles. Ernesto told his favorite Zima escape stories. One time she got on the roof of the Greens’ kennel. Beth Sweigert had to climb on the roof to get her down. Another time Ernesto and Andrew Green were in the back yard of a big estate they were visiting. Andrew was holding Zima and, not thinking, he set her down. Off she went! There they were chasing her all over this beautiful estate. This summer her son Zeke decided to follow in her footsteps by taking off not just once, but twice at the Salem, Virginia shows, with Ernesto in hot pursuit. To me, show wins are great but the biggest thrill comes when a Tibbie can pass on greatness to their offspring. Though remembered for her show wins and her love of running, I am most proud of Zima’s children and grandchildren. They include Group winners, winners at the National Specialty, Number One All-Breed winners, and Best of Breed and Best of Opposite Sex winners at Westminster and Eukanuba. Zima and Zeke I can see the same spark in her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren… the sneeze on the down and back, the coat, the attitude. They all shattered Tibetan Spaniel show records. I know Zima would have approved. There are special places in my heart that Zima will always be. Her love of chasing the lizards that snuck into the house, her climbing up on the windows, her recovering from serious surgery, from being found after running off for two weeks, to making my husband Blake do as she wanted, and loving my kids. I miss her so. Thank You Sandy Lidster, You will be forever missed! - Patricia C.

Wassong Tibbies as Therapy Dogs Providing Animal Assisted Therapy Animal-assisted therapy (AAT) is a goal-directed intervention in which an animal is an integral part of the treatment process. AAT is directed and/or delivered and documented by a health/human service professional with a specific clinical goal in mind. Studies have shown AAT provides positive physiological effects (e.g. decreased heart rate and blood pressure), mental stimulation (e.g. recall memories), feelings of acceptance and good rapport, outward focus, opportunities for empathy and nurturing, increased motivation and entertainment and socialization for patients. Visiting animal-handler teams are the most common source of therapy animals that participate in AAT. These teams travel from their homes to facilities for durations usually lasting one to no longer than two hours. Residential animals that live at a facility can also be therapy animals. Considerations of expenses and the animals’ health and enjoyment are given significant attention in these cases. Tibbies As Therapy Dogs I have two Tibetan Spaniels, Kyi and Tia, that I acquired from Li and Greg Craven (Tamzil). Over the past four years Kyi, joined by Tia two years ago, have provided muchneeded comfort, support and pleasure to hundreds of people, visiting hospitals, pediatric dentist offices, hospice homes, schools and libraries. To become a therapy dog team, I affiliated myself with Pet Partners, the most respected organization providing training and registration of therapy animals. Pet Partners is an international non-profit organization founded in 1977. Pet Partners is the leader in the Human-Animal Health Connection that emphasizes standards-based AAT programs, registers all types of domestic animals in addition to dogs, trains healthcare professionals in animal-assisted therapy techniques, and provides important resources and ongoing support. Training includes a standards-based program for the volunteers and animals. Standardized training prepares handlers with practical knowledge of infection control and prevention of zoonotic diseases (i.e. infections transmitted from animals to humans). The standardized training teaches practical ways to prevent and respond to possible risks, accidents or unusual occurrences. Additionally, Pet Partner Teams undergo health screening of the animal, and finally an evaluation of Handler and Animal Team performance. Therapy Dog Activities for Kyi and Tia Patient Visitation Therapy - Kyi has provided comfort to many people undergoing chemotherapy and dialysis treatment. Being able to hold and pet Kyi during these procedures has helped them endure their physical challenges. In one case a patient fighting cancer had to be moved to a hospice house for her final days. While being surrounded by her family with little time left, she requested a final visit from Kyi. Special arrangements were made for Kyi and myself to visit her one last time. Tears came to her eyes as she saw Kyi for the last time and passed away shortly afterwards. The family was grateful Kyi was able to make her last moments peaceful. Pediatric Dental Office - Kyi and Tia both provide support for children undergoing dental procedures. A blanket is placed on the legs and stomach of the patient for the Tibbies to lie on while the children pet them and have them close for support. Once a month, Adventure Dental calls on the Tibbies’ therapy dog skills as a “doggy dental assistant.” This spring, a mother of two young girls made an appointment for her daughters Bess, age 6, and Ayla, age 3. Bess and Ayla had never been to this dentist before. When their mother learned after an initial exam at another dental office that both would need fillings as well as sealants, to help prevent future cavities, she voiced her worries about how they’d fare during the procedures with the new dental team. That's when she heard that she could enlist a therapy dog for help! “I knew if there was going to be any apprehension it would be totally erased with having the dog there,” Mom said. She showed Kyi's trading card to her daughters and they were very excited. “Wow! Like going to the candy store,” she recalls. “Ayla told me later that she was about to cry at that time.” Instead, the loving response of this wonderful therapy dog checked the child’s tears and afterward, the human members of the dental team told her awestruck mom that their patients hardly ever stay as still as Ayla and Bess did that day. “Using Pet Partners is great!”, said one of the dentists. “We wish we had a therapy dog in the office all the time.” Six weeks after receiving sealants and fillings under Kyi’s caring gaze, Bess and Ayla can’t wait to go to the dentist again. “Now when we drive by the dentist office, they always ask if they can go visit,” their mother tells me with a laugh. She is so thankful the Tibbies made such a difference for her little girls, one gentle nuzzle at a time. Reading to Dogs Program - Many children are intimidated when having to read in front of a class. Studies have found that reading to a dog instead, in a one-on-one environment, improves reading skills. Both Tia and Kyi participate in these programs at elementary schools and public libraries in Southwest Washington. These two special Tibbies were recognized by the American Kennel Club for their participation in the Pet Partner therapy dog program. Tia received the AKC Therapy Dog certificate and patch for 50 therapy visitations. Kyi received the AKC Therapy Dog Excellent certificate and patch for 200 therapy visitations. When they arrived, I told the mom that when it was time for her daughters to lie back in the dentist’s chair, Kyi would crawl up on each girl’s chest. If at any point Kyi sensed either girl was hurting, he would gently move closer to the child’s face to offer more comfort. At one point during the 3-year-old’s procedure, her mom watched Kyi snuggle closer. “I saw Ayla stick her hand out and just pat Kyi,” Mom said. By Jean Carroll Wright © 2014 Joan Reiter Child January 24, 1938 to March 18, 2008 Joan Reiter Child waltzed into my life in mid-1978 or so when I signed up to help with the Associated Rare Breeds of New England show committee. I knew Jay Child before I knew Joan but it was in Joan that I found the honor and honesty of a true sister. She became one of the dearest people in my life for nearly three decades. Soon I had purchased my first Tibetan Spaniels and become an active Tibbie breeder under my former Lhasa Apso banner Dynasty. By 1983 Joan and I had become fast friends and close cohorts in every sense of the word. In 1984, together with Yvonne Crofts (my long standing mentor from Great Danes), we formed Jo’Jevon Tibetan Spaniels. Now it became Joan, Jean and Yvonne against the dog show world, and succeed we did. We gave Tibetan Spaniels their first top ten Non-Sporting Group winning Showdog and #1 Breed Dog whose winning record stood for nearly 20 years as well as multiple ROMX recipients and multiple top ten breeding producers. All in all, Joan’s Truk-Ku line and / or our Jo’Jevon partnership seeded nearly every breeding line with top flight brood stock and show winners. Joan was a founder and President of TSCA until she requested retirement and voluntarily relinquished her position to Phyllis Kohler, but at the request of nearly everyone, she remained a Board member for many, many more years. She guided the board from within the ranks with the same sure hand she guided our Jo’Jevon breeding program. She loved this breed and The Tibetan Spaniel Club as a whole. In 2001 our partnership lost Yvonne to the chronic lung disease she battled for several years. But Joan and I remained partners for nearly another decade and remained so until her death in 2008. I feel her loss today and every day. God is lucky to have her with him organizing the angels and all our Tibbies across the bridge. By Jean Carroll Wright © 2014 Yvonne C. Crofts November 10, 1929 to December 9, 2001 Yvonne was the least known member of the Jo’Jevon partnership, but she provided a vital part of our early success as a breeder partnership. She added the Von to Jo’Jevon. I first met Yvonne when I became President of the Nutmeg Dog Breeder Referral Service. I had been happily breeding Boxers for several years, but needed the help of an all breed club to finance our referral service so we approached St Hubert Kennel Club. Yvonne was on the Board of Directors, voted to join our Service and our relationship was born. Before long our friendship developed into a mentorship. I had always handled my own Boxers in the show ring but Yvonne never did so. One day I took out one of her Great Danes to practice with a larger dog, and ended by successfully piloting him to his championship. Eventually we formed a partnership around Yvonne’s Lazycroft breeding program, and I became a more or less permanent part of her daily life. But she was a very private person and difficult to really know, so few people in Tibetan Spaniels really knew anything at all about her. Yvonne saw me through some of the most difficult events of my life. Birth of my son, the end of my tenure in Boxers, losing my Mom, even my separation and eventual divorce were just a few of those things. Ten years older than I, she had lived more and seen more than I had ever experienced in my life at that time. By the time I knew her, she had already survived the violent death of two husbands and was left to raise nine children alone. Yvonne held degrees in Animal Genetics and developed the largest poultry operation our area operating five farms and a hatchery. She taught me most of what I know about dog breeding and genetics, and the practical side of how to put that knowledge to work in breeding and puppy selection. She brought knowledge and toughness to the Jo’Jevon partnership for both Joan and I. I miss our corporate meetings with Joan and Yvonne planning our next breeding and show ring moves. Especially the meetings when I was almost always out voted, or lay sprawled out on her living-room floor with pedigrees laid out end to end to plan the next breeding. She touched our lives and then moved on. I hope we will all meet again at the bridge to replay those happy times. Multiple Best in Show, Multiple Reserve Best in Show & Multiple Best in Specialty Show Top Winning Tibetan Spaniel in AKC History GCH KAN SING’S TENZIN “TENZIN” T By Martha Feltenstein Tenzin was born on May 8, 2010, the smallest in his litter. This was my first Tibbie litter and I made Mallory Driskill (as I pointed out, she was the grandmother) come up to New York to whelp the litter. The night Mallory arrived, Nanda, who would never give her the time of day till then, took one look at her and said “Thank God, someone who knows what they are doing.” Even though Tenzin was the smallest in the litter, there was always something special about him. Given his parents, I had high hopes for him but had no idea what he would achieve. Tenzin as a puppy His mother, CH Ambrier’s Nanda Devi, was my first Tibbie. She was #1 Tibetan Spaniel All Systems in 2007. She won the National in 2007 under Richard Jeffery, and the breed at Westminster in 2006 and 2007. His father, CH Lorac’s Yeshe Wongchhu, was #1 Tibetan Spaniel All Systems in 2009 and won the breed at Westminster in 2008 and 2009 and won 1st Award of Merit at the 2008 National under Everett Dean and BOS at the 2009 National under Lester Mapes. Tenzin finished quickly and came home to grow up. Tenzin was only specialed for two years and had an amazing show career, winning 9 Best in Shows, 13 Reserve Best in Shows and 88 Group 1s. He won the Group at the National Dog Show in Philadelphia in 2012 and placed second in the Group at the AKC Eukanuba National Championships in December 2012 and 2013, and 4th in the Group at the Westminster Kennel Club in 2013 and 2nd in the Group at the Westminster Kennel Club in 2014. He was #1 Tibetan Spaniel All Systems 2012 and 2013, and #3 Non-Sporting Dog in 2013, the highest ranking ever achieved by a Tibbie. Tenzin retired at Westminster 2014. Tenzin has broken all the records (the record for most Best in Shows was previously held, for 20 years, by CH Jo’Jevon Distant Thunder, owned and handled by Carol Tyte) and, at the age of 3, became the top-winning Tibetan Spaniel in breed history. He is also, to date, the only Platinum Grand Champion Tibetan Spaniel. Tenzin is enjoying retirement (he is now a mature 4 years old) and ruling over a harem of Tibbies, Tibetan Mastiffs and Ibizan Hounds. In March of this year, he was asked to be the “OFA Champion of Health” for the month. 2014 Westminster KC Group 2 Many thanks go to his handlers, Diego and Evelyn Garcia, without who none of this would have been possible, as well as to Mallory, who began all of this with Nanda.
