Solid Gold SunDancer
A chicken-based dog food is finally here.
Several years ago, Solid Gold decided to develop a chicken-based dog food. Then,
came the bird/avian flu and chickens were contaminated and chicken-based dog
foods were pulled off the market. Solid Gold waited. Then, in 2009-2010 the chicken/egg salmonella poisoning caused many chicken-based dog foods to be recalled.
Now, chickens have been given a clean bill of health, so Solid Gold introduced
SUNDANCER. This unique dog food is an advance of all other chicken-based dog
foods on the market. Peas are a good source of protein, but caused gas in many dogs.
However, we researched and found that if tapioca and the grain quinoa were mixed
with peas, gas doesn’t form. So we used these unique ingredients.
Tear stains in some dogs are problems. It is usually an allergy to some ingredients
in the dog’s food. However, we found Chia seed/ AKA Salba, neutralizes this problem. People may
know Chia seed as Chia Pets, that clay head that sprouts “hair” when water is added. But Chia is much more than
a novelty Chia has been called the Ancient Grain of the Future. Aztecs and Mayans mixed the seeds with water to
form a gel. It was taken internally not only as a cleanser to remove irritants in the intestinal tract, but was used for
endurance. It was the only food used by ancient warriors and athletes during an activity. When the gel was applied
topically to wounds or skin irritations, the skin healed rapidly. We also put Chia for internal healing in our Sundancer
dog food.
The most fascinating ingredient in our SunDancer is curcumin, the root from the turmeric plant. It has a 4,000 year
old history for curing a variety of health problems in India. Curcumin is known worldwide as the “Indian Solid Gold”.
That’s a nice déjà vu expression. Perhaps, curcumin is most well-known for its use in cancer. The Indians say that
there are 33 channels of cancer, and curcumin address all of them. The University of Maryland Medical Center found
that curcumin lowered bad cholesterol to reduce the cause of stroke. It also reduced pressure on the eye. Curcumin
gives mustard the yellow color and the spice flavor. See http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/tumeric-000277.html.
Dr. David H Frig, MBA found turmeric/curcumin inhibited amyloid plaque from forming in the brain which contributed to Alzheimer’s disease.
In 1958, the U.S. Congress wanted to fund a study for the elimination of cancer using turmeric/curcumin. But the
big pharmaceutical companies put forth such a large lobby, that it was stopped. They said such a study would interfere with the revenue from their cancer drugs. One pharmaceutical person said that if this curcumin were so effective,
they would synthesize it and make it into a prescription drug.
In 1971, President Nixon agreed to begin a new curcumin/cancer study. But the Watergate problem stopped that.
Look for our shiny purple bags of Solid Gold SunDancer dog food. We also use fish to support the DNA of Oriental
dogs, Arctic dogs and dogs originally from England, Scotland, Ireland, and all water dogs (such as labs, poodles, terriers, retrievers, and sporting dogs). If you don’t add fish to these dog’s diet, they may develop allergies in the lower
legs and chew or lick their feet.
Look for the two dancing dogs on the bag of our hermetically, vacuum sealed bags for freshness. Do not pour the
food out into another container. Open the bag, scoop out what you need and close with bag clips or clothes pins. The
act of pouring exposes the food to air. We use no chemical preservatives in our fresh Solid Gold dog foods.
A Funny Story
Sissy, the owner of Solid Gold, was recently at a dog show and it was quite
warm. Someone commented that the news said that the planet, Saturn, with its
rings, was heating up the galaxy. A near-by 10 year old girl standing close by said
she knew what Saturn looked like. She said “that’s the planet with the hula hoops”.
Now, don’t you feel old!

President’s Message
Fall 2011
Club Governance – a reminder on the basics
ALAC is a club that is governed by its Constitution and Bylaws. The
Board of Directors is elected by the membership and their responsibility is to make decisions on behalf of the club throughout the year. This
is accomplished through telephone conference meetings which are
conducted five times a year and one meeting held in conjunction with
the National Specialty. Per our by-laws, the only voting that is required
to be sent to the general membership is for the Election of Officers,
AKC Delegate, and Board of Directors, amendments to the Constitution
and Bylaws and changes to the Breed Standard. Any other questions for
decision of the members by written ballot are done at the discretion of
the board.
Meet The Breeds - This board has committed to supporting AKC’s
Meet the Breeds in both NYC and in Orlando. These two events allow
ALAC to show case our breed to the largest possible audience. It’s an
opportunity to educate the public and to encourage responsible ownership of our breed. People looking for puppies can be steered toward
buying from responsible breeders. There is no other equivalent exposure for our breed. Thanks are extended to Ann Burton, point person for
the NYC event and to Ed Valle, point person for the Orlando event.
JEC Activity -The board has also committed to supporting judges education. By “committed”, we have established a budget for this activity
which allows ALAC volunteers to assist in the programs without having
to incur personal expense to support the activity. Thanks go to Leslie
ALAC has committees with assigned responsibilities. The committees
and their responsibilities are found in the ALAC Handbook, which can
be found on the website. The committees are comprised of volunteers
who recommend changes to existing policies or documents within their
purview to the board. The board then reviews the recommendations and
makes decisions based on the information provided.
Baumann and her assistants for conducting a highly successful seminar
at the Penta Institute in August.
Now seems like an appropriate time to thank all of the ALAC members
who WORK for the club, either by serving on the board or on a committee. For others, perhaps it is time to consider volunteering for a committee or running for a position next year. If you want your voice to be
heard, then consider making a commitment to work within the club and
its committees. The current board of directors has a very good record of
attendance and takes their responsibility seriously. We are well aware
of the steep decline in registration of Lhasas – which is certainly not
unique to our breed – but does impact the number of ALAC members
and the number of people involved both in the club and in AKC events.
The pool of volunteers to assist in running any club activity is dwindling
as our overall membership age increases, and our commitment to breeding and showing dogs changes with age.
Appointments - The board approved the appointment of Steve
Campbell as Show Chairperson for the 2012 National Specialty and the
appointment of Debby Rothman as Native Stock Committee Registrar.
Thanks to both individuals for your willingness to serve the club in two
important positions.
And as a last – but extremely rewarding personal note - thank you
Susie Fain and Sue Roeder for letting me know that the fabulous agility Lhasa, “Parkir”, would be competing 20 miles from where I live.
Having now met all “3” of you, I have once again fallen in love with another very special Lhasa and have a renewed respect for those members
participating in Agility. The bond that was so evident between Parkir
ALAC belongs to its members – the board is open to any well thought
out idea that would benefit all members. We are making efforts to
reach out to members via ALAC online and will continue to utilize this
method of communication to publicize both past and future activities.
We recognize the need to better communicate with the members – and
members need to attempt to voice thoughts directly to appropriate
committee chair persons or to a board member. That’s the method that
works the best, and I encourage all of you to use it.
and Sue was heartwarming. What a treat!

Ch. Lionhart Marco Polo
Marco Polo has crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
From his birth he was the intrepid explorer, cruising the borders of the whelping box
while his littermates were warm and cozy with mom, Krystal.
Marco finished easily and quickly but the ring was not his love.
He excelled rather in his affinity for companionship, becoming the faithful devotee
to my mother, now 94. Marco was an admired and accomplished visitor at
Carriage Hill Nursing Home where he was always happy to visit any resident,
not just his own people.
Visitors to the house were greeted in a quiet but friendly manner,
petting was welcomed but not demanded
This wonderful Lhasa was all one could hope for in a first homebred champion.
He has passed his charms to children Miss Piggy and Hugh Bear,
and his granddaughters LeeAnn and Red and on into further generations.
We know he is exploring over the Rainbow Bridge until his people arrive.
We love you, puppy!

Conference Call Board Meeting
Board of Directors Meeting
April 23, 2011
Regional Club Liaison
No reports from local clubs, no comments were submitted.
In Attendance: Jan Bruton, Jan Graunke, Naomi Hanson, Barbara
Schwartz, Ann Burton, Joyce Johanson, Susan Giles, Ed Valle , Vicki
Kuhlman, Clay Williams and Ray Sledzik.
NSSC
Absent: Bev Simms and Marsha Susag.
Report accepted as submitted. The budget request will be moved to
New Business. The committee should have some proposals by the next
meeting.
Barbara called the meeting to order at 8:10pm EDT.
National Specialty
Linda Jarrett submitted a report. Bobbie questioned whether the catalogue would be in color or not. Barbara said we should get estimates
for color or black and white. Bobbie agreed to send Mary Jane Orrie a
copy of the 50th anniversary catalogue to give her access to the list of
advertisers. Clay is concerned that Onofrio charges a lot for the pages
and the cost for color ads may be prohibitive. This information should
be forthcoming. Naomi commented on the wording in the McCartney
art for the specialty. They will ask for colored dogs.

the board.
OLD BUSINESS
Awards of Merit
Barbara researched how the AKC Eukanuba and Westminister KC
shows compute the number of AOMs to be awarded. 20% is the figure
they use. We are changing from 20 Selects at the National to 20% of
the Specials entry. AOMs will be awarded at both the Regional and the
National and they can be awarded to dogs other than specials (e.g. Winners or Reserve). Selects are not eligible.
Bobbie moved (2011-21) and Ray seconded a motion that 20% of
entries in the best of breed competition determine the number of AOMs
awarded at the National and at the Regional Specialties. BOB, BOS
and the Select Dog and Select Bitch are not eligible for AOM. All other
entries are eligible. AOMs are awarded at the discretion of the judge.
Barbara will have AKC review the wording of the motion. The motion
passed.
Treasurer Report
Question on net income from recent agility trials and a loss posted
prior to the event. The event did make a profit. Revenue had not been
received at the time of the report.
AKC Delegate Report
Ray attended the delegate meeting. There were only two ballots for
the new directors at the meeting. Elected to the Board were: Steve
Gladstone, Carmen Battaglia, and Robert Amen. There was an issue
regarding delegates who were employed by AKC and dismissed and
then sent as delegates to AKC.
Handbook
By-laws
Ann will send the minutes of the last meeting to Bud so he can make
the changes suggested. Bud will make the revisions and Ann will send
the new By-laws to AKC with a cover letter. Ask Bud to respond in
two weeks. Target date is June 1. When the hand book gets out online
it is easy to revise. Hold off printing the handbook until this is resolved. We could make copies of it for new members until it’s resolved.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Joyce did not get to speak with Melissa. Melissa sent cost quotes from
Fed Ex and she is awaiting another quote. She sent a recommendation
as to size and so forth. Melissa needs feedback about her submissions.
There were suggestions to take out things like the cost of plaques for
BOB at the national. On the NSC section we need to take out the part
about the trip to the Tibetan Plateau. The section on regions should be
in the directory section. Suggestions were made as to other sources for
printing at a lower cost. Vicki will explore some resources she has used
for printing and let Melissa know. We will set a target date to get the
handbook and directory up on the web site. Clay had a concern about
having his name and information on the web site. That information will
be in the member’s only section of the web site and this was acceptable
to Clay. The target date is June 1.
Plaques
Jan, Marsha and Bev obtained prices. Marsha gave us the cost analysis.
Susan moved (2011-22) and Joyce seconded a motion to accept the proposal submitted by Jan Graunke to do the plaques. The motion passed.
ALAC Online
Send a reminder to Marsha to send hard copy of this to members (23)
who do not have computers.

the Recording Secretary. The board will vote by secret ballot to select
the honoree. The nomination information will be sent to the board
members.

Conference Call Board Meeting
Show Chair for 2012

a deadline of August 1. In future years there will be an earlier deadline.
The Board can vote via email.
Bulletin
Need a show chair in Massachusetts for 2012. Several names were suggested. Very experienced. Carol Kodis works very well with the hotel
in MA and is good to work with as a site coordinator for the show chair.
NEW BUSINESS
JEC Mentoring Guidelines.
Naomi moved (2011-29) and Jan seconded a motion to accept the
guidelines. Bobbie raised the question of personal opinion when
mentoring, commenting that some personal opinion has always been
involved with mentoring. We agreed that as long as the opinion was not
in opposition to the breed standard or the JEC program it was acceptable. Personal opinions should be identified as such.
Change the first sentence to say “focus the discussion on the standard
and ALAC educational material and refrain from offering personal
opinion in direct conflict with those materials.” Motion passed as
amended.
Susan and Bobbie presented a proposal to publish the Bulletin on line.
There would be a savings from the current format. Various possible
benefits were mentioned. They want to try it and assess the reaction.
Ray made a motion (2011-24) that we try publishing the next issue
online in addition to the printed version. Vicki seconded the motion.
Motion passed.
This will have to be coordinated with George and Marsha.
Mailings
Betty Chidley has the 2nd round of judges ballot ready to go. Clay
committed to having the nominations ready by May 1. Barbara wants
to combine these items to save money in mailing costs. Not sure if the
By-laws will be ready.
The question of who will mail the information was discussed. Barb
and Marsha will determine the best provider for this service after comparing costs.
The Board is in Executive Session as of 9:55 EDT.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:19 EDT
Respectfully Submitted,

IS BECOMING A REALITY
STARTING WITH THIS
AND ENDING WITH THIS
In May 2010 John and I attended the Lhasa Apso Club of Northern California Specialties with 6 month old littermates, Moxie and Cruiser, and
of course Paris. My dream came true when Moxie went Best Puppy in
Specialty under the guidance of best buddy, John. One year later to the
day Moxie went WB/BOW at the same Specialty under Judge Mr. Rick
Weyrich for a 5 point Major to complete her title with 3 Majors.
Thank you Mr. Weyrich for your selection of Moxie to finish her title.
And thanks to hubby John for whisking the little Sweetie to her
Best Puppy win a year ago, and then to BOW this year.
What a Pair!

MORE CALIFORNIA DREAMIN’
FROM HIS FIRST WIN-- A MAJOR
TO HIS FOURTH MAJOR
AND HIS
AMERICAN TITLE
Our California Dreamin’ for Cruiser also started a year ago
when Cruiser took his first “Major” win at the
supported entry of Coyote Hills Kennel Club under
Breeder/Judge Mrs. Julie Timbers. I dreamt of finishing
Cruiser with a Specialty win and he didn’t disappoint.
Thank you Ms. Donelle Richards for selecting Cruiser for
WD for a 5 point Specialty Major and his Am Title.
Cruiser’s and Moxie’s mother Trouble also completed her
Am. Ch. With 4 Majors.
