Another successful Regional Specialty was put on by our Club at Portland’s Stumptown Cluster, in July – and our CACDC Herding Trial at High Country Farm on August 2nd and 3rd was a huge success as well! Congratulations to all of those who won and who placed at these Events! Many thanks are in order, to those Club Members who worked so hard on these projects to make both events run so smoothly: it is to you and to all of your hard work that we owe MUCH gratitude! I have been touched and inspired this year by the manner in which this Club has shown the willingness to pull together to support its fellow members; I’ve also been amazed by the energy and efficiency with which our members can pull together to make things happen – from putting on our Shows and Trials to creating Breed Booths for Shows & Public Education Days, or getting our Fun Day put together and orchestrated! This takes willing volunteers and lots of dedication, and our Club excels in these. I am always so very proud to be a member of our Club when I see the camaraderie as members congratulate a Class Winner or our newest ACD Champion at Ringside, or applaud a fellow members’ Herding run. CACDC is a great group of Cattle Dog Loving People and I am proud to be one of you. It has been a great year so far, and there’s more to come as we look toward planning for next years’ events and happenings. Cascade Members: YOU ROCK!!! It’s been a GREAT Summer! Shirley A.

By Alison Dielke First, I would like to thank all of the volunteers who make this trial possible… Chief Ring Steward Jim Beckley, who pulled his camping gear out of mothballs and organized all of our timers and scribes – and who also timed and scribed, himself! Timers and scribes: Liz Stenning, Lynn Carter, Alice Kapelos, Julie Pulliam, and Linda Bell….Thank you! Michelle Rogers, who must have run a marathon that weekend with the score sheets! Wow, we’ve never had a better runner! Every time I would head out to try and relieve her by bringing in some sheets, she was already there – (Michelle, How did you do that? <g>) Our stock handlers extraordinaire! Michelle Pardee and Shirley Oberg, who worked the cattle arena with Ron Fischer on Saturday and Pam Carter on Sunday; and who also worked the duck arena both days. Pam Carter: pinch hitter on ‘B’ course and cattle, Dave Larson and Karyl Hanson: ‘A’ course sheep pens; Kathleen Torkleson: ‘A’ course sheep setter (together with the amazing Kelpie, Zen!) Heidi and Pete: ‘B’ course set out. Dave Larson was also a huge help to Mom by getting up early every morning and feeding the livestock, and helping me sort the ‘A’ course sheep. Brenda, Patty and Bob, and Lisa Silvernale - Hospitality crew...wow! You guys never cease to amaze us all! Our out-of-town judge, Rusty Jeffers, said that the CA judges have a scoring system for food at trials...1 being the dregs and 5 being the ultimate...he gave Brenda and Patty a 5 plus! I wish you all could have seen the look on Rusty’s face when I was out trying to get those score sheets Michelle was so quick to snag. He asked if I could send some more water down, no sooner had he asked when here comes Brenda and Blake with rootbeer floats! He said, “Water..or a rootbeer float? that works!” LOL! I also have to thank: Blake, for entertaining Bob and Brenda and helping out where he could; and Mom, for having such a nice farm and stock, and allowing us to take over the property during another fantastic trial weekend. A big Thank You also goes out to Lynn Leach, Linda Bell, Maureen, Dave and Karyl, and Liz Stenning for helping us put all the tarps up and finish setting up the trials site. Linda Bell, Lynn Leach, and Michelle Rogers took down all those tarps with out ever being asked it was just done by Sunday afternoon...thanks so much that makes a huge difference for us not having to take tarps down. SJ and John, for once again supplying the cattle, and Charlotte, for supplying the ducks. Of course, thanks also to all the competitors who came from far and wide to attend our trial. The farthest-traveled this year was Robert Ewing from CA, and Judy Gabarino from Idaho. Alison Editor’s Note: Club Treasurer Patty Carey also reports that our Herding Trial was ‘in the black’ - and that we made a profit! Way To Go, Cascade Club! “No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as the dog does.” - Christopher Morley CACDC Meeting Agenda 7/18/2008 Meeting Facilitator: Shirley Oberg – President Meeting being held at the Portland Expo Center – 2008 Stumptown Cluster Regional Specialty I. Call to order at 12:00pm II. Roll call Jane Ward, Lynda Rocksvold, Alison Deilke, Linda Bell, Lynn Carter, Kathy Hamilton, Michelle Rogers, Megan Scholz, Deb Quain, Linda Conroy, Michelle Pardee, Shirley Oberg, Barb Boyce III. Approval of minutes from last meeting (any additions or corrections?) Alison D. made a motion to approve the minutes, seconded by Lynn C. Passed unanimously. IV. Presidents report A gift of a beautiful floral arrangement was sent to member Sara-Jo Gahm on behalf of CACDC following her recent surgery. SaraJo is recovering well and the pathology came back with good news: all was benign. The Club’s recent Work Day at On the Lamb Farm was a success and thanks are in order to all who pitched in or sent their best wishes and support to SJ. Our Club has submitted a completed Statement of Compliance to the AKC which meets the new AKC Eligibility Requirements to hold future dog shows. This means next year’s Rose City Specialty will go ahead as planned! (post script: since the club meeting we have learned from the AKC that as the CACDC territory center is located in Salem, Oregon and our two conformation shows are held beyond our “territory”, that we as a club would have to fulfill more of the compliance requirements. As this puts an undue burden on our club, we are requesting a provisional compliance for 2009 while we sort out our club territory issues with the AKC.) A refrigerator has been located and will be in place for our upcoming Herding Trial at High Country Farm. V. Secretary’s Report Nothing to report VI. Membership Secretary’s Report No report requested VII. Treasurers Report Treasurer Patty Carey reports that the current balance is $7,727.17 but we haven’t paid all the specialty bills yet, and of course we have the herding trial coming up. VIII. Election of New Members No new membership applications to consider. IX. Unfinished Business CACDC Meeting Agenda 7/18/2008 a) Herding Trial Herding trial August 2-3 at High Country Farm. Jim Beckley, the Chief Ring Steward, is still looking for volunteers for scribes, timers and runners. b) Rose City Michelle reported that the paperwork has been submitted to conduct the January Specialty and is being reviewed by AKC. The judge for our regular/non-regular classes has been contracted. Dr. Robert Brown has agreed to judge for us, and as he is an AKC delegate we will only have to pay his expenses for the day of the show. We are still looking for a Sweeps judge. Ann Quigley has been suggested and inquiries will be made. A discussion was held around the ability of the show chair to enter, handle or have a dog handled at the specialty. Kathy Hamilton explained that while this was a club tradition, there are no restrictions from the AKC on the show chair’s participation. This has been a tradition in the club to allow the Show Chair the ability to focus on the job of coordinating and managing the show. However, it was discussed that having a co-chair would allow the all members to participate and still have the details of the show managed. Lynda Rocksvold volunteered to co-chair the Rose City Specialty. c) Fund Raising Discussed again the idea of hosting a DOT coffee stand as a fund raiser. At this stage there does not seem to be the level of participation that we would need to staff the rest stop for a full weekend, 24 hours a day. Lynda made a motion to table this fund raising effort until the club was of a size that this could be considered. Lynn seconded the motion. The motion was passed. X. New business a) Breeder Referral In order for the club to meet one of the AKC Eligibility Requirements, the board has proposed to offer a breeder referral service. Jim Beckley has volunteered to keep a current listing of breeders in our club who are anticipating litters and have puppies ready to find homes. A new page will be added to the club website directing interested visitors to contact Jim and he will be able to give them current information. Screening the applicants will still be the responsibility of the individual breeder. Kathy made the motion to approve the Breeder Referral program for CACDC. The motion was seconded by Lynn and was passed by the members. b) Standing Committees Michelle P. brought up that at various times the idea of having standing committees (fundraising, herding, judging, etc) have been discussed both in previous meetings and in side conversations. After much discussion it was decided that there would not be a benefit to having set standing committees, but rather, keep with the tradition and culture of our club to allow members who are willing to take on various projects do so without formalizing the process. CACDC Meeting Agenda 7/18/2008 d) Fundraising idea Lisa Silvernale has submitted a fund raising idea: that the Club should produce a cookbook that could be offered for sale through our website and at shows and trials. Members would be asked to submit favorite recipes, photos of their dogs, etc., to be compiled into a cookbook that could be a simple comb-bound book. Jane Ward has volunteered to head the committee to work on this fundraising project. c) New Member Communication Linda Conroy mentioned that she has had some difficulty getting all the communication from the club and it was determined that some of our newer members are not on the Yahoo discussion list. The club secretary will send out an email to all members with the information about the club communication including the Yahoo discussion list, the CACDC forum, and the club website. e) Specialty Ad A motion was made by Kathy H. for the club to submit an ad for the 2008 specialty catalog. Lynn seconded the motion and it was passed. The club secretary will contact Stephanie GovinMatzat to get that handled. f) Nominating Committee The nominating committee for next year’s slate of officers was formed by the following volunteers: Lynda Rocksvold (Chair) Kathy Hamilton Lynn Carter g) Gig Harbor Conformation show A reminder to the club to encourage participation in the Gig Harbor All Breed show in September as they were nice enough to allow us to use their weekend last year for our Specialty. XI. Adjournment at 1PM Next meeting will be held following the Whidbey Island Kennel Club show at Monroe in November Obituary CACDC says a sad farewell to a friend of many, a supporter of our Breed, and a gentle man of great integrity and spirit. Norman Leo Herbel 12/7/1936 - 8/10/2008 NORMAN LEO HERBEL, son of Carl and Elsie (Kaufman) Herbel, was born December 7, 1936 at Lucas, Kansas. He departed this life on Sunday morning August 10, 2008 at the Woodward Regional Hospital at Woodward, Oklahoma. He was 71 years of age. Norman was raised and educated at Lucas, Kansas and graduated from Lucas High School with the class of 1955. He furthered his education at the University of Kansas in Lawrence where he graduated with a Bachelor degree in Physical Education. He was united in marriage to Carolyn Ann Heinze on June 6, 1956 at Lucas, Kansas. They had two children: Carmen and Kent. Norman taught physical education classes in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania school system. Norman and Carolyn became dog enthusiasts, especially with the Lhasa Apso breed and German Shepherd Dogs. Norman and Carolyn spent their lifetime enjoying the German Shepherd Dogs. Later in life, “Charm”, a special German Shepherd, BIS, BISS, A.O.E., Am Sel. Ex. Can Sel. Am/Can Ch. Kaleef’s Silver Charm of Tabu, HT, ROM, was the light of his life. Together he and Carolyn wrote three books on the Lhasa Apso dogs. He traveled all over showing and judging all breeds of dogs and was known as a multigroup judge. He was a world renowned dog judge. Before retiring to Oklahoma, Norman and his brother Clayton bred L1 registered Hereford Cattle. The breeding program they developed has influenced Hereford Cattle all over the United States. Recently he was instrumental in helping Mark and Lacey Herbel Syzemore and Kent and Lori Herbel begin an exciting brood mare band of registered Quarter Horses. He was also a lover of the land and in 1987, they purchased a ranch in southern Dewey County in the Putnam community where they moved and have lived since.

Our Club donated $75 to Australian Cattle Dog Rescue through Seattle Purebred Dog Rescue, in memory of Norman Leo Herbel. Letter From Carolyn Herbel and Family To CACDC Dear Members Of the Cascade Australian Cattle Dog Club, Thank you so very much for your contribution in Norman’s name to the Seattle Purebred Dog Rescue. He would be so very pleased to know that this gift will help to find homes for needy Cattle Dogs. He was a giving man and his legacy continues through your contribution. Sincerely, Carolyn Herbel and Family “They [dogs] never talk about themselves but listen to you while you talk about yourself, and keep up an appearance of being interested in the conversation.” Jerome K. Jerome CACDC Breeder Referral Program Cascade Club now has a Breeder Referral Program! Check out our web page about this new program here: http://www.cascadeacdclub.com/ available_acds.html . Jim Beckley is our new Breeder Referral Representative, and he looks forward to helping persons who find their way to our website while researching our breed to locate all of our Club’s AKC breeders in this region. All Breeders or those planning to breed should contact Jim with their information and get their kennels on his roster. When inquiries from people looking for Cattle Dogs come in, he will forward all contact info that he has been given by all of you Breeders to them, and also let them know where there are AKC pups or dogs available currently, as well as where planned litters will be in the near future. Keep Jim informed and let him know what’s going on with your kennel so that he can keep current and spread the word about availability of quality AKC pups & dogs in our area. If breeders are seeking to re-home older dogs from their kennels, let Jim know that too, as this doesn’t have to be just about available pups. This Service is intended to be only a ‘Clearinghouse’ of information. Our Breeder Referral will not be screening puppy buyers in any way, rather he will only be forwarding what contact information that Breeders give him, and the rest is up to the Breeders. Our Breeder Referral is adamantly NOT about pointing puppy seekers to any one breeder’s kennel over any other. When persons inquire, they will be given contact info for ALL of our Member Breeders to aid them in their research - and their search. It is hoped that this service will be welcome to our Club’s Breeders and that through it, we will help to educate puppy buyers seeking Australian Cattle Dogs. Note, too, that our new web page also has links and contact information for the public about local ACD Rescue organizations, and we would like to thank Liz Stenning for providing this information so that we may present a full and complete picture to the Public. We hope that our new page and our new Breeder Referral Service will help those interested in owning Cattle Dogs to find their way to the pup or dog that is right for them. Full Compliance Granted By AKC To CACDC for Meeting 2009 Eligibility Requirements to Hold Future Dog Shows The AKC now requires Clubs to meet certain Eligibility Requirements in order to hold Dog Shows (for us, that means being able to hold our two Regionals…or NOT). This new program was approved by AKC just this year. We have discussed this program at this year’s past meetings. Among the Requirements Clubs must meet are tasks such as hosting, or taking part in, an AKC Educational Match; hosting an AKC Canine Good Citizen Test; hosting a Meet The Breeds Booth at an approved AKC Show; creating a Breeder Referral Service within our Club, to name a few examples as well as a number of other requirements from which Clubs may choose in order to satisfy the AKC’s Requirements, and thereby continue to hold their Shows. This new AKC Eligibility Program is intended to help Clubs focus on educating the public about, and promoting, the Sport of Purebred Dogs. Each year, our Club will be responsible for submitting proof to the AKC that we have fulfilled our specific number of these Requirements in order to gain approval for our following year’s shows. I am proud and relieved, and very happy to report that CACDC has been granted full Compliance for our upcoming 2009 Shows based upon our efforts in this year of 2008…The Shows WILL go on! Shirley A full listing in .pdf form of the AKC’s Requirements may be seen on the AKC.org website here: http://www.akc.org/pdfs/ RE99A1.pdf . Our Club met Requirements with our creation of a Breeder Referral Service, with our Seattle Kennel Club Show Breed/Rescue Booth, our Breed Booth at Tualatin Kennel Club, with our Fun Day’s events, and with many aspects of our new Website. We plan to enter the AKC Classified Advertising Program to further meet Requirements. See .pdf file detailing the Classifed Advertising Program here: http://www.akc.org/pdfs/clubs/demand_ akc_papers.pdf And also: How would Members feel about fitting an AKC Canine Good Citizen Test into our next Fun Day? Sound like FUN? Let’s DO it! “He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.” - Unknown CACDC News Interview With Patti Salladay For this issue of our CACDC Newsletter, we cast our Interview spotlight on Patti Salladay, (Catchpen Kennels). A highly respected longtime breeder and fancier of the Australian Cattle Dog, as well as a founding member of CACDC and past President of our Club, Patti shares her insight and wisdom about our breed here. Editor: What was it about Australian Cattle Dogs that first attracted you to them as your breed of choice? Patti Salladay: “My brother was a ranch foreman in eastern Oregon and they had several blue dogs that helped. I spent my vacations with him and he had a little blue ‘dingo’ named Kitty. She was so devoted to my brother and all he ever had to do was talk to her and she went about her chores. I tried for weeks to make friends and she just tolerated me. Her best game was to let me into the bunkhouse but every day she would heel me thru the steps walking down them. More than one time she sent me flying. She always seemed to be one step ahead of everyone. I fell in love and came back and went on the ‘dingo’ search.” Editor: How long have you been involved with the Breed now? Patti: “My first ACD’s were national stock dogs – Beau and Foxy. I checked my records and they were registered in 1978. We ran roping practice in Madras Oregon and the dogs were used to push steers and bring them back to the chutes. I purchased my first registered ACD in 1980 from Maxine Johnston, LAMAJO Kennels.” Editor: What was your proudest moment, or your greatest accomplishment with your dogs? Patti: “My greatest accomplishment would have to be when “Willie” (BIS/BISS Ch Catchpens Willin’N’Able PT), was the first dog in the history of the breed in Canada to receive his BIS and BISS. Last years’ Best Veteran in Sweeps under Breeder Judge, Lori Pruett, was just as special: to know that at 11 years old, he is still sound in mind and body and feeling frisky.” Editor: What are some of your thoughts about the Breed in years past, when compared to the dogs of Today? Patti: “Years ago we had a limited gene pool to draw from, and I feel the old time breeders had a better perspective on the standard and showing only quality dogs. Most dogs were owner handled. The problem with that was we had more genetic issues. Entering into the picture was genetic testing, which is good but I feel the overall quality and consistency has diminished due to new breeders not taking advantage of mentors, breeding for genetics, and adding professional handlers not involved in the breed.” Editor: What do you look for most in a dog? What makes him a ‘good’ dog in your eyes? Patti: “I look for a dog that fits our standard.” Editor: What do you consider as the worst faults that breeders should work away from? Patti: “Weak heads, and bad feet.” Editor: If there were one piece of advice you’d want to share with all breeders and fanciers of Australian Cattle Dogs, what would it be? Patti: “Do not be afraid to ask for advice from the long time breeders. Do your homework before you breed. A lot of people believe that just because they finish a dog, that dog needs to be bred. Be subjective and honest in your evaluations, and ask what can this dog add to make the ACD breed better?” Editor: What, in your view, is the biggest problem facing our Breed today? Patti: “Too many people breeding for the moment, instead of the future.” Editor: What goals do you look forward to your dogs achieving in the future? Patti: “I have semi-retired from showing, and am putting my focus on breeding. I am excited to breed some nice bitches with semen from our old bloodlines and to watch those puppies grow. My ultimate achievement will be to have those puppies compete in all areas of the ACD sport.” Editor: What is the one thing about the Australian Cattle Dog that stands out to you personally, as his greatest attribute? Patti: “Their ability to think and reason. (And of course Rikki sitting on the couch with me watching TV).” CACDC Cooks! At Stumptown’s Meeting CACDC members voted on the creation of a Cookbook as a Fundraiser. Every year we enjoy potluck goodies at various Club functions, and we always look forward to the awesome hospitality of Brenda & Patty at our Herding Trial. So often, someone will say, “We should make a Cookbook!” Now is your chance! Member Lisa Silvernale submitted this suggestion to the Stumptown Meeting Agenda and members loved the idea! Jane Ward volunteered to spearhead this project and collect recipes and photos. The Cookbook can be offered for sale on our website and at our shows and Trial, or members could take a few copies to Clinics they attend, there are lots of possibilities! Do you have a favorite recipe and a photo that you would like to include? Or how about a recipe you’ve enjoyed at a Club function that you’ve wanted to get from another member…like Alison’s famous Poor Man’s Beef Wellington – yummmm… Kathy’s incredible cookies…SJ’s awesome Granola…you get the idea! And don’t forget the dogs! How about recipes for dog treats or goodies that people make for their special Cattle Dogs too? It doesn’t have to be all about just people food: we could have a section for the critters too. Ideas? Recipes? Requests? Let’s get going on this project and see what comes out of it! Get those favorite recipes together and send them along to Jane Ward at janemward@shaw.ca . Membership Renewals Membership renewals are now due.
