Affiliate Report-Carol Landry

ASCNE Affiliate Report for 7/10/2011 By Carol Landry

A motion was approved by the ASCA Board of Directors to implement and adopt a Strategic Plan. It will help guide the Board in making priority decisions regarding long and short term objectives. I highly recommend that everyone read it (page 19 May/June 2011 AT) as it provides a good deal of food for thought. The highlights of the ASCA Committee Reports: Agility- The Agility Committee has passed several motions dealing with guidelines rather than rule changes. They are geared to provide guidance to clubs hosting trials. They also approved a new design chute tunnel that has a short tunnel instead of the regular hard plastic barrel entrance attached to a chute. The Jump Card motion has come back from the Board for revisions. Conformation- The conformation committee has several motions in the works: Motion #12 regarding Electronic Devices (cell phone use during judging), #13 National Specialty Host Rule 5.4, #14 regarding postmark vs received by date, #15 about posting the goldenrod copy of the judege’s book. DNA- They have been discussing how to handle all the pedigree discrepancies that come up with parentage verification in the DNA Program. They have posted some procedures they would like to have reviewed (page 48). MVA- Motion passed designating tracking points for MVA rules Stockdog- This committee has been very busy with rule changes and changes to the running of the Finals. There are several other hot topics in discussion right now so interested parties are advised to check out the report on page 49. Library Report-Gull Gullicksen There is a new list available with items donated by Pete Dolan. It will be posted on the club’s website. Sunshine Report- Cards were sent to Deb Keach and Bill Haggis. ASCA BoD Report-Pete Dolan New office manager is in place and it is working out quite well. Nothing else is worthy of discussion. Event Updates-

As a member in good standing in ASCNE I hereby agree to the following provisions: 1. To plan each breeding with the intention of improving the Australian Shepherd Breed Selecting sire and

for hip dysplasia and ocular deformities. 3. Maintain the best possible standards of health for my animals through regular veterinary care and sanitary

housing. 4. As a stud owner, I will refuse any mating which I do not consider in the best interest of the breed. I will

screen the healthy, mature bitches sent to me, for hereditary defects and temperament faults. 5. As a bitch owner, I will properly space litters and protect bitches from unplanned matings. To produce

puppies when I have the time and facilities to provide adequate attention to physical and emotional needs of the litter.

6. I will not sell or consign puppies to pet shops or commercial operators. I will not supply puppies for raffles or as prizes.

7. I will be discriminating in the sale of my puppies, keeping in mind the Australian Shepherd herding temperament and guardian instinct. I will provide buyers with information about the breed, pedigree, health records, application for registration, and spay/neuter contracts for pet quality puppies. I will monitor and enforce such contracts.

8. I agree to take back any of my dogs that are in need of a new home or to assist in placement of that dog. 9. Protect the interest of the Australian Shepherd Breed, conducting myself in a courteous and professional

manner in all my dealings.
