Native Stock Committee
Posted: January 20, 2011 Filed under: Lotsa Lhasa Info | Tags: American Lhasa Apso Club, Native Stock Committee 1 Comment »This past week American Lhasa Apso Club members should have received a voting packet. Ballots must be postmarked by March 5th. So….by the Ides of March I will know the results. This represents the past several years as ALAC Native Stock Committee Chair and nearly a decade of my work with the Gompa dogs. You can learn the details here.
Expanding our gene pool…
Posted: March 2, 2010 Filed under: Gompa Lhasa Apsos | Tags: American Lhasa Apso Club, Debby Rothman, Julie Timbers, Native Stock Committee 3 Comments »Sunday Julie gave the presentation I presented last October in Pennsylvania to the American Lhasa Apso Club….which is where I’ve been the past week or so. Not in Minnesota, but trying to make final preparations so Julie could pull if off smoothly, with all the necessary components. As some of you may know, about 2 years ago I was appointed chairman of ALAC’s newly formed Native Stock Committee. The Breeders Education Committee of ALAC invited me to give that presentation, which included updating members on the Gompa dogs. Ergo, the film Ancient Treasure – The Remake.
This presentation will be given around the country in the upcoming months. The next one will be here in the Denver area. Please join us!
Buried in editing

Buried in the film for the past three days, there’s still plenty of work to do on it. The presentation is three weeks from tomorrow! If you can’t find me on the blog or at the shop grooming dogs, I’ll be in the editing room.
Can’t imagine what it was like to edit a film prior to the digital age!
There’s a stockpile of things waiting for the blog…alongside the emails that keep piling up. All will have to wait.
:Vickie is appointed..

Speaking from experience, Vickie gets the job done, on time, with precision. She has worked hard along side me with the Gompa Lhasa Apso Preservation Program since its inception. This past year GLAPP, working with retired tax attorney, AKC judge and ALAC delegate to AKC, Edmund Ray Sledzik, she has done all the paperwork required for 501(c)3. So, while I’ve been busy trying to get Gompa puppies into this world, she’s been working on an equally difficult task. The IRS!
Vickie has opinions, formed from her own experience which includes an in-depth study of the breed, a zestful quest of information. Vickie will voice her opinion, but the unique thing about Vickie is she doesn’t let a difference of opinion necessarily stand between her, her friends and fellow club members.
Congratulations Vickie. You will be an asset to ALAC’s Board.
Amusing encounter

My daughter Whitney, who moved to Portland from Ohio a few months ago, and I were in Dundee, OR, doing the winery circuit, and we stopped at the Dundee Cafe for lunch. We had the boys with us at an outdoor table and of course everyone was saying “How Cute.”
A couple came up and asked about the dogs, and I said they were Tibetan Apsos, similar to Lhasas, but a bit different, which I find easier than saying Gompas because people go “Huh?”. And the husband was looking a bit askance, and asked where they came from. I said one had come from a Buddhist retreat in Virginia, and the other from a breeder in Colorado. So the wife says “Debby Rothman?”
They are Jan and Larry Bruton, who have Lhasas from you but no Gompas. *Very* small world!
Small world, indeed! Slight correction, Jan and Larry have Lhasas, but not from me. Jan judged the breed recently in MN and is currently secretary of the American Lhasa Apso Club. Larry is former president of ALAC.
