Committee Reports
Newsletter – Karin reported that the spring/summer issue will be out shortly. She asked that members send any information
they would like included in the newsletter. It was discussed that it might be possible to scan some of the old newsletters for the archives. Greg Perry volunteered to scan the old newsletters for the club. There was discussion about AKC archiving documents from
the member clubs. Since they feel this is a high priority it could help with the submission of our hard drive to archive the club
newsletters. The motion was seconded and discussion followed. It was suggested that we purchase two so that we would have a
backup in the event any problems with the original copy. It was decided that one should be purchased now and decide later on a
second. It was M/S/C to buy one external hard drive. We will continue to save all of the records in hard copy. Greg will explore the possibility of online storage as well.
Trophy Committee - Liz ordered plate and plaques for newly earned titles. The board had previously decided that information must be turned in by the deadline for the current year. Previous years cannot be awarded. Please remember to turn in new title
information by the deadline.
We need a trophy chairperson to oversee or assign committee members to secure trophies and ribbons for matches as well as
plates and plaques. The chairperson should review the policies and procedures and advise the board should changes need to be made.
In the past toys have been donated by members. The chairperson should be responsible to check for these and solicit donations.
Becky volunteered to be a co-chair with Liz if Liz is willing to accept this position.
Fundraising –Bev & Bob Lloyd agreed to chair this committee. They will run the silent auction
at our match and summer event. A post will be made in the newsletter asking for donations.

the events. Joyce and Curt will host the event. Joyce has volunteered to be the committee chair. Bob Lloyd will be one of the
parking attendants. We need to line up people for Obedience and Agility. We also need to get the obedience equipment from Vicki.
The Highland Games will be held on July 28 & 29 at the King County Fairgrounds in Enumclaw. Nancy says that
conformation has been added to the program as well as agility and earthdog. Between 3000 and 5000 people attend. Nancy would
like to have people bring their dogs and sign up for 2 hrs shifts. It was suggested that we might add a link to the Highland Games
site from our website. Tom says we should have a coordinator in charge of the Highland Games and also the Seattle Kennel Club
breed booth. Karin will put a notice in the newsletter.
Website –The domain name will need to be renewed in October. It is currently registered to Brad. Karin will contact Brad
to find out what needs to be done to accomplish this.
Historian –Greg Perry has volunteered to be the club Historian.
Storekeeper – Sue Gumser has volunteered to be the club storekeeper. The board feels we should try to order some new
sweatshirts and t-shirts in time for the summer event if possible. There was discussion about the possibility of ordering club jackets.

Breeder Referral - Liz and Bev Lloyd have been handling this duty. Bev reported that she is receiving many phone calls
and emails from the club website.
Rescue – Curt reported that 4 males and 1 female have been rescued so far this year. Rescue is on the rise. There is a
problem trying to find homes for older dogs. We need to find more foster homes. Becky said that she would be willing to be a foster
home. A notice will be put in the newsletter asking for volunteers. We need to have a complete accounting for each rescue brought
in to include cost of care and amount of donation made to be reported at each meeting. Curt reported that one of the new
owners had made a donation of $150 to the rescue fund.

Tom says we should create and follow a budget to determine what amount should be charged for each activity. Next board
meeting a budget should be established for major club events such as the summer events, winter fun match, SKC breed booth raffle
items, trophies etc. Should we send out raffle tickets in advance for our raffles? We doubled our money on the raffle item purchased
for the winter fun match. Items listed on the website for raffle need a way to pre buy if someone cannot attend.

file an informational tax form with the IRS. Forms are not available but we need to file when available.

Liz has completed plates and plaques. Late plates should not be accepted and should be clear to all that we have to stick
with annual awards only. We need to clarify what titles will be awarded. At the next meeting we need to ask for volunteers for the

The trophy chairperson will be responsible for assigning committee members to secure trophies and ribbons for matches as well as
plates and plaques.

at their house. We need to start to plan at the next meeting.
Fundraising
We need a chairperson for this committee this person will secure auction items and run the silent auction at our matches.
Storekeeper
We need a new storekeeper who will be responsible for ordering items and sales of same. We need some sweatshirts.
We should have a new order in time for the summer match. T shirts also need to be ordered. The board feels that we
should order M-L-XL and a few 2X with other size being special order. We also need to investigate ordering jackets on a special
order basis.
Website
We need to find out about re registering our domain name in Oct. Karin will check with Brad about it since it is registered
in his name.
Historian
We still need someone to work as historian. Does someone want to work on our club album? This person needs to attend
our match and summer event and other key shows.

Liz and Bev have been doing a great job. The board needs to set guidelines for this position. Karin will work on this
section of the policies & procedures.

empty board position from the elimination of the second vice president. Club to vote at the general meeting

Foster Homes Needed
There is a growing need for foster homes for cairns brought into rescue. Curt has been doing a great job but as the
numbers increase so does the need for foster homes. Nancy & David Delyea have fostered two boys. Becky Scherbarh has helped out as well. There have been 4 rescues placed so far this year. If you can help out please contact
Curt Whall at [email protected].
If you’re not sure about it, maybe this can change your mind.
We have a pretty little cairn bitch and at our age and physical condition we felt that she was about all we
could care for.
My friend, a local cairn breeder, called and said she had received a 10 year old male that the owners didn't
want any more and did we want to take him? My husband said, firmly, NO! One is plenty. So I suggested we foster
him until he could be re-homed. I went out and picked him up and brought him home.
When I set him down, he took one look around and unpacked his suitcase. He eyed my husband carefully and
I think he said to himself "this must be the guy I have to win over" because he set about doing just that. Didn't take
him long either. So much for fostering.
His tail wags continuously and he is very speedy in accepting an invitation to a lap.
It's hard for me to understand how anyone can just throw away a dog, especially one that they had for 7 or 8
years. This is a very sweet little dog, he comes when called, is always willing to mind and gain your approval. Even
our little girl likes him and he has accepted living with another dog harmoniously.
Turns out fostering is pretty great, especially when it turns in to permanence.
Try it, you'll like it.

SEATTLE SCOTTISH HIGHLAND GAMES
The Seattle Scottish Highland Games will be held on July 28th and 29th in Enumclaw at the King Co Fairgrounds. In addition to agility and earthdog demonstrations, conformation has been added as well. This

like to hear from you at [email protected] to sign up for a 2 hour shift in the booth. If you would
like more information about the Highland Games you can go to their website at ww.sshga.org/home.htm
Special thanks to Robin Gardner and her hard working committee for designing the Cairn Terrier Breed
Booth at the Seattle Kennel Club. Bev & Bob Lloyd, David, Nancy & Mark Delyea, Joyce & Curt Whall,
Sue & Gus Gumser, Val & Greg Perry, Jamie Wilson, Bev Jennings, and Susan Harper all helped out in the
booth. My apologies for anyone I may have missed. The booth was awarded an honorable mention for
their design and content.
Thanks to all, great job!!!
In early May the Dachshund club hosted an AKC earthdog trial up on Whidbey.
There was an AKC rep. there and she filed a report on the AKC website. There are
a couple of CCTC club members shown on the picture page she posted.

ASK DR. CINDY
Dear Dr Cindy;
My champion stud dog is about 5 1/2 years old. The last three bitches he was
mated with missed. Before that, he sired 4 previous litters. He was campaigned
heavily as a Special last year and that seems to be when his problem started.
He's a great dog and I have several matings planned for him in my breeding
program. What to I do now?

Is a graduate of Washington State University. She has been in general practice
since 1987, and in practice focusing on
canine reproduction since 1989. She
practices in Tacoma, WA. She breeds and
shows Maltese dogs and has a husband
and two sons who are much more work
than all the dogs combined
Dear Vanishing:
The first step for you will be to get your dog's semen fully evaluated with a qualified veterinarian who does a lot of work with
canine reproduction. It is best if you can bring a bitch in season for this first evaluation. Although many males can be collected
without a bitch in season (usually using artificial scent or swabs taken from bitches in season and frozen for later use) not all
males can he ''fooled'' this way. lf your initial semen evaluation is poor, it's important to know whether he really has a problem
and that can be hard to judge if he just wasn't excited enough. If you don't have access to a bitch in season (either through your
own kennel or a friend's) ask your vet if he/she can call you when a bitch in season is scheduled to come in. Veterinarians who
work in reproduction usually have bitches coming in all the time for progesterone testing and other workups and most owners are
amenable to their bitch being used as a teaser.
A complete semen evaluation will consist of evaluations of all 3 semen fractions: presperm, sperm- rich, and prostatic fluid. Although infertility is most often blamed on the bitch we know that the male is probably responsible about 40% of the time. The
fact that a male has previously sired litters does not exempt him from suspicion. The testicles are located in the scrotum hanging
beneath the body for a reason. Proper sperm production and maturation needs to take place. Changes of about 3 degrees, even
for a short time, can make a dog temporarily infertile. In coated breeds, one of the deadliest things to the next generation can be
your hair dryer. It doesn't take very long to cook those babies. Hot spots located near the scrotum, fevers of at feast 3 degrees,
frostbite, very hot weather with dogs kenneled outside. There are a whole host of things that can endanger a stud's fertility. This
kind of diagnosis might be made if there were many sperm present on the evaluation but all or most of them were dead.
Semen evaluation might also show the most likely cause of your dog's problem would be prostatitis. Middle aged and older intact (uncastrated) male dogs very commonly have problems with the prostate. Most recurrent urinal tract infections of these boys
can be lined to a problem prostate. This gland is located right outside the bladder, and often harbors reservoirs of bacteria because
it is very difficult for most antibiotics to penetrate into it. Therefore, although many medications clear up bladder infections, the
bacteria that survive in the prostate re-infect the bladder over and over. If there is an infection in the prostate, there will often be
red blood cells, white blood cells, and bacteria present in the third, or prostatic fraction of the semen. Prostatitis very frequently
renders the dog infertile because of the hostile bacterial environment that the sperm are exposed to.
The best antibiotic by far for this condition is enrofloxacin (Baytril). It penetrates into the prostate gland better than other antibiotics. Your veterinarian should also evaluate your dog's prostate directly via rectal palpation. She/he may also recommend an ultrasound or X-rays to better visualize the organ. Intact male dogs can also develop prostatic abscesses, cancer, and benign hyperplasia. These conditions are very similar to those experienced by older human males. In severe cases, your veterinarian may advise you to have your dog castrated in order to resolve a serious health problem. Removing the influence of testosterone will frequently shrink the prostate gland to barely noticeable and help to resolve a chronic infection in just a few weeks.
If no sperm at all are found in the semen sample (and the male was obviously sufficiently aroused with good libido) it is possible
that scarring in the epidydimus may be obstructing the sperm’s passage. Your veterinarian will then test the alkaline phosphatase
content of the semen to try to determine whether obstruction is present. For some reason, we have seen this condition in multiple
previously successful sires after a long period on the show circuit. I do not know what the connection is but it emphasizes a very
important point. If you have a young, exceptional male whom you plan on using in your breeding program for a long time, have
some of his semen collected and frozen so that, if the worst happens, you are not left without recourse. I can’t tell you how many
clients I have who regret not having taken advantage of this technology.
Obviously, there is far more that can be said on the subject of male infertility, it was my intent in this article to impress upon you
the need for seeking a veterinarian with an interest in canine fertility so that the many possible medical and even surgical treatments available to you can be explained in detail. Good luck getting your boy producing again.!

Val & Kula’s first agility trial.
Kula did a wonderful job earning 3 first place ribbons in the 4 inch veterans classes over two days. Her last event she had no course faults (otherwise
known as a clean run). Kula is seven years old! It is not too late to teach an old dog new tricks! You can
see from the look on her face how much she loves it!
