Baking, shopping, decorating, parties, and renewing old friendships are just a few of the many tasks which are part of the season. Let us not forget our four-footed friends. Give them the time and love they deserve. Amidst all this hectic time let us not forget the true reason for the season.

From the Editor It’s puppy season here. My friend just whelped her first litter of bulldogs four weeks after I had my first litter of boston terriers. I stayed over at her house while her husband was up-north hunting. We stayed up all night taking care of our puppies, reading books, eating and watching movies. How lucky are we that we can share this experience together? I look forward to giving our Coast to Coast a new look and feel. Something fresh. If you have suggestions, please drop me an email at [email protected].

Brook W. BerthEDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Eleanore Vetter with her boston Pudgy

I chose to put in a picture of my granny with her

boston terrier, Pudgy for my first issue as editor.

When I was in high school, my mom wanted a little dog. She had gotten her

mother a Lhasa Apso when she was seventeen,

but brushing long dog hair wasn’t as fun as she had imagined. My mom

remembered her grandma telling stories of her very smart but naughty little

boston terriers. Rollie was our families first boston. In college, I adopted a 3

year old boston Gunther. That’s how I decided on

my favorite breed.

CH SunGlo’s Sparkling Wine Cooler

Sunny was the number one Boston in 1991, all systems, and the number one Boston in Group wins in 1992. He was in the top 10 in 1990

and 1993. He had 19 Group Firsts and 16 Specialty Breed wins with numerous Group placing’s. Sunny was owner-handled always by Sharon Saberton. He was honored to get Best of Breed at Westminster in 1991 and at AKC’s first Invitational held in Baltimore, MD in 1992. There were only 2 Boston’s that qualified and Sunny got a Group 3. That was prestigious honor. The rules at that Invitational were a lot different at in 1992 than they are currently. In Sunny’s limited breedings, he has produced 49 Champions, many of them wining and placing in Group. One was awarded a Best In Show. He is the sire of CH Donnybrook’s Aramis, Chief, who was the number one Boston in and the Best Of Breed winner at the BTCA National in 2004. Chief also won Best Of Breed at Westminster in 2005. Sunny’s breeders were Marianne Sheehan and Mary Jo Schrieman who were good friends of Saberton’s. They asked her for advise hen breeding some of their bitches. Breeding Sunny’s dam, CH Beacon’s Tiny Darling, to CH Do-Go Georges Buddy Of Rudy was Saberton’s idea. All but one from those breeding’s finished their Championship.

CLUB OF

Boston Terrier Club of Milwaukee Specialty

August 8, 2008

Grant Park, South Milwaukee Beautiful weather and lots of great dogs graced the new show site. The site was beautifully wooded with lots of shade and an added bonus of a view of Lake Michigan. With the addition of another all breed show this weekend (Cudahy and Racine Kennel Clubs) majors held all four days in Bostons.

A huge raffle was held to support rescue efforts of the club, with thanks to all club members who contributed such a wide assortment of prizes. Deb Chivicek found contributors for an assortment of dog stuff to include in a goody bag for each exhibitor. Lots of snacks were available throughout the show for exhibitors and spectators. This year the show was dedicated to The Memory of All The Bostons Our Club Members Have Lost. Club members submitted pictures of a Boston they owned that has left us in the past year. These photos were included on the dedication page in our catalog. Thank you to all who supported the club with time, talent, entries, and donations. The show committee looks forward to seeing you next year at our fall show.

President McCollough called the meeting to order at 8:02 p.m. (EST). Present were: Ola Jeanne McCollough, Joyce Fletcher, Melany Anaya, Sharon Stoll, Linda Jett, Richard Nix, Peggy Jackson, Carolyn Gastley, Dick Wiest, Dane LaJoye, Kathleen Brewer and Marby Kelly.

2009 Show - Chair Marcia Terry, along with Donna Nardi, joined the first part of the meeting to discuss the 2009 Show. The hotel, Crown Plaza in Southbury, CT is secured. The Sweeps judge is Sharon Saberton and the Conformation judge is Sari Tietjen. Tietjen will charge BTCA $3 per dog and 3 nights hotel room. There will be nominal transportation fees since she doesn’t live far from the show grounds. BTCA will pay for 1 night’s hotel stay for the Sweeps judge. Terry reports that we have not secured a show superintendent yet but that she hopes to have that accomplished by Sept. 1, 2008. OB/Rally judge is Dr.. Ellen J. Adomells who will charge the club $100 for a 5-hour day. Extra fees will apply if the OB/Rally show goes over 5 hours. Marby Kelly will be the Show Secretary. Discussion regarding show grounds for OB/Rally, motion by Brewer to pay $500 to Paws N Effect for agility facility rental, seconded by Fletcher, Motion approved. Terry reports that the profit from the 2008 show is $10,600 and she thanked the board for their support. For the 2009 show,

the hotel is giving 1 comp room per 40 “consumed and actualized” rooms reserved. The hotel has also offered Donna Nardi, Charlotte Comstock & Marcia Terry each a 5-night comp room, separate from the contract with BTCA. The hospitality room is also comp’d. The show committee left the meeting at approx. 8:40 p.m.

Board ReportsPresident - McCollough reports that she is currently hospitalized and can only stay in the meeting for a short while. She reminded everyone, especially the new board members that no agenda business is to be discussed until the minutes are approved. She emphasized that there is to be no internet discussion regarding club business. She added that she is appointing Joyce Fletcher as the Nominating Committee Chairman. In regards to new members being voted in, she asked that board members immediately send in their secret ballots as it is not fair to prospective members if there aren’t enough votes to count in their favor. Further, Jackson proposed that we note which board members have voted so the members know which board members are participating in the voting process. McCollough turned the meeting over to Fletcher at 8:51 p.m.Vice President – Fletcher contacted Lisa LaMere who will take care of the Meet the Breed booth at the Eukanuba show.

Recording Secretary – Motion to approve the minutes of 6-11-08 as written by Jackson, seconded by Nix. Motion approved. Anaya reports that the master roster is not yet matching the roster that Nix maintains and that Anaya will print out the master roster to send to Nix to compare to his so that they both match.

Corresponding Secretary – LaJoye received mail from the AKC. The first does not pertain to BTCA as we don’t hold more than nine agility trials per year. The second correspondence from AKC was in regards to placing and ad in the Eukanuba Championship catalog. Motion by Jackson to spend $140 for a full-page ad in the Eukanuba catalog, seconded by Gastley, motion approved. LaJoye to design the ad and will have the board approve it. Letter received by Valley of the Sun Affiliate Club that their Board of Directors wishes to dissolve the club due to lack of interest from their general membership. Fletcher added that she received correspondence from the general membership of the Valley of the Sun club that they do not want the club to dissolve and are protesting to the AKC. Fletcher to work with interested members to see if the BTCA can help keep the club active. Anaya reported that the Golden Gate BTC is also in need of assistance since they only have 2 active members. Fletcher suggested GGBTC write an article for the C2C asking for BTCA members to assist.

Approved Board Minutes BOSTON TERRIER CLUB OF AMERICA, INC.AUGUST 19, 2008



LaJoye to contact Byron Elder, Affiliate Club Chair in regards to the Affiliate Clubs submitting a list of their officers and members each year. LaJoye to also contact Golden Gate BTC to see how BTCA can assist. Fletcher to contact AKC to see if they have any recommendations on assisting Affiliate Clubs.

Treasurer’s Report - The balance as of 7/31/08 is $65,612.72. Nix reported his dissatisfaction with the board in relaying their gratitude for his services. Nix reports that he sent out over 70 membership dues reminders in mid-August to all members and Affiliate Clubs that have not yet paid.

Unfinished BusinessBudgets – Tabled until next meeting.

Brewer made a motion that we comp 4-nights each to the Show Chair & his/her assistant, 2 comp nights each to the Judge’s Education Chair and his/her assistant and 4-nights to the Show Secretary at the national show each year. Seconded by LaJoye, motion approved.

Coast to Coast – Brewer reports that the BTCA is in violation of its Bylaws because the Annual Meeting minutes were not distributed to the membership within 30 days of the meeting. If reported to AKC, the BTCA could incur sanctions. The minutes are normally printed and distributed to the membership via the

newsletter but as per an email from the newsletter editor the newsletter will be delayed because of “personal issues”. Discussion regarding a recent email from the newsletter editor requesting a replacement. Fletcher to call Pamela Preston and find out if the delayed issue of the newsletter is due to be sent out soon or not. If not, Anaya will have to mail out the minutes to each member right away. LaJoye to contact Brook Berth to see if she’s interested in taking over the newsletter.

BTCA Website – Anaya, who is the BTCA Website Committee Chair, reported her findings regarding having the BTCA website reconstructed. A brief presentation was made which included prices and samples from three different Web Designers. Ideas for a better website were shared and LaJoye motioned to authorize Anaya to move forward with Prize WebWorks, Inc., then to have the Board review the contract, and if approved, further authorize Anaya to work with Prize WebWorks and the rest of the website committee to approve the new website design. Anaya to act as the BTCA’s new “Web Editor”. Seconded by Jackson, motion approved. Anaya to forward contract to all board members to review.

New BusinessNominating Committee – Fletcher was appointed as the Nominating Committee Chair, brief discussion on who else could sit on the committee. Motion by Jackson to ask Julie Haddy & Cindy Adams to sit on the nominating committee and have Linda Alexander and Gwenn Weyandt as alternates. Seconded by Jett, motion approved.

Members Dropped in Error – Stoll shared her thoughts on one member who was dropped from membership

because her dues check was never received by the Treasurer. Fletcher explained that there was nothing the Board could do in regards to this matter (since over a year has lapsed since she was dropped from membership). There was also a question about a member who is denied membership, if they could re-apply immediately or if they had to wait for the Annual Meeting to have the general membership vote. The Bylaws are not clear, LaJoye to call AKC to clarify.

2009 National Specialty Dedication – Brewer motioned to dedicate the 2009 National Specialty to Rhoda Pillion, seconded by LaJoye, motion approved.

Membership Roster – Tabled until the next meeting.

2010 National Specialty – Tabled until the next meeting.

New AKC Boston Terrier Breed Video – Tabled until the next meeting.

New Members – Robin Taylor (CA); Karen Slack (WI); Dorothy Martell (MA); Jennifer Duffy (OK); Susan Krouse (CA); Julia Reslock (MI); Lisa Campbell (MA); Dorothy Kay Halbardier (TX); Karen Workman (CO); Peggy Coffman (OH); Shelly Stazen (WI); Nancy Kerner (IL); WELCOME!

A motion was made by LaJoye to adjourn. Meeting adjourned at 10:00 p.m. (EST).

Respectfully submitted,Melany Anaya BTCA Recording Secretary



President McCollough called the meeting to order at 8:05 p.m. (EST). Present were: Ola Jeanne McCollough, Joyce Fletcher, Melany Anaya, Sharon Stoll, Linda Jett, Richard Nix, and Leanna Terrill. Pat Kennedy, Kathleen Brewer, Lloyd Amodei, Peggy Jackson and AKC Delegate Marby Kelly were absent.

Board ReportsPresident - McCollough reports that she feels the 2008 National Specialty was a great success and that plans for the 2009 show are now in the works.

Vice President – No report.

Recording Secretary – Motion to approve the minutes of 5-19-08 as corrected by Jett, seconded by Nix. Motion approved. Anaya reports that the master roster is not updated because she has not received the address corrections submitted by members from Nix yet. It was also noted that a mailing list Nix typed (for directory & dues notices purposes) is not yet matching the master roster (that Anaya maintains) and that Nix and Anaya will work to make sure both are identical. Nix added that he has only received approx. 55% of the dues from the members as of this date. A reminder is to be added to the website that dues are due by June 30, 2008.

Corresponding Secretary – Fletcher is in the process of writing letters to the outgoing board members, thanking them for their service. Fletcher will also send welcoming letters to the incoming board. Letters will also go out to the judges who judged at the national, and to new members recently voted into membership. Fletcher received a packet and letter from AKC that the national specialty show had been processed. Fletcher to forward information pertaining to the 2009 show to Marcia Terry, the Show Chairman.

Treasurer’s Report - The current balance is $64,924.27. There is approx. $2800 in “limbo” with the hotel and the show chairman will need to resolve that issue with them. There was a brief discussion about a $495 “chair clean up” the club was charged that will need to resolved. Nix also reports that there are 6 “comp” rooms in question and that he has not yet received the final bill for the show. It appears at this point that approx. $13,900 is the profit from the show. There is approx. $1200-$1500 that hasn’t cleared yet. Nix reported that $800 is still due from the Milwaukee Club.

Nix intends to send out membership dues reminders in mid-August to all members and Affiliate Clubs that have not yet paid.

Proposed new members - Brief discussion on 3 proposed new members, board members need to mail their secret ballots to Fletcher asap.

Unfinished BusinessMembership Chair – McCollough spoke with current Membership Chair Peg Selvey, who would like to be relieved from her duties. Fletcher proposed Allison Alison take over the position effective July 1, 2008, seconded by Stoll, motion approved.

Website – Fletcher proposed we look at using an outside source to maintain the BTCA website and that she, Anaya & Jett work together as a committee on this project. One source Fletcher would like to consider costs $1250 to set up the website and $100 per month to maintain. It was also noted that a current club member had offered their services. Anaya suggested we look closely at contracts, fees and samples from any web designer we are considering. Committee will work together to gather information and report back to the board at the next board meeting.

Approved Board Minutes BOSTON TERRIER CLUB OF AMERICA, INC.JUNE 17TH, 2008



Yearly Audit of Books – Nix to complete before the first of the year. It was noted that Wanda Goodson suggested we write a formal letter to the trustees of the Charitable Trust each year asking that they either return the funds back to the BTCA or they donate them to the AKC Advisory Fund (as previously requested).

New BusinessPhotographer – National Show – McCollough reported that there were no major problems, that it seemed the photographer did a good job, the rates were reasonable, but that it would be ideal if the photographer would use a better quality paper next year.

Catalogs – National Show - Brief discussion regarding the catalogs and when AKC says is the earliest they can be distributed. AKC says Sweeps/OB/Rally/Agility are not considered conformation events and therefore catalogs (that include regular classes) can not be sold prior to judging of the regular classes (which is when Sweeps/OB/Rally/Agility are judged). AKC recommended either printing a separate catalog for those events or to print tear sheets that can later be adhered to the regular catalog. Fletcher to speak with Marcia Terry to clarify. Nix motion that we print 2 separate catalogs in order to comply with AKC rules. Seconded by Stoll. Motion approved.

Liaison to Board – Education – Stoll volunteered to be the Education Liaison to the Board.

Dog of the Year & Futurity – Nix reports that Ken Roux is taking donations for these events, that the checks are made payable to the BTCA which will be deposited into a CD. The committee for these events will handle the collection of checks but the checks will need to be sent to Nix so that he can open a CD. Motion by Fletcher that all funding for the Top Boston of the Year and Futurity be sent to the BTCA Treasurer and that he/she work with the Committee Chairperson according to the Bylaws. Seconded by Stoll, motion approved.

Budgets – Postponed until new board is seated.

New Members –Tamara Parashos (OR); Jamie Allen (TX); James Iceuogle (IL); WELCOME!

Next board meeting August 19, 2008.

McCollough thanked outgoing board member Leanna Terrill for her service.

A motion was made by Nix to adjourn, seconded by Jett. Meeting adjourned at 9:15 p.m. (EST).

Ken Roux gave a report on a futurity planned for 2010 along with top Boston awards program to be initiated in 2009. More details on these programs will be published later. under new business, Venita Prater suggested that one meeting a year of Affiliates was not often enough. It was suggested that an Affiliate Club web site and list be established for Clubs to post and discuss their activities throughout the year. Cecelia Crouchet and Blair Barret volunteered to initiate such a program and Venita volunteered to help obtain the e-mail contacts for each club. This is a work currently in progress. Celie will be in charge of this web site development. Web site set up at present is: [email protected] Every Affiliate Club is encouraged to contact Celie at [email protected]. Blair may be contacted at [email protected]. Venita may be reached at [email protected]. Of course copies of any or all may be sent to me at [email protected]. The communications potential for Affiliate Clubs is enormous. Many Affiliate Clubs have excellent newsletters. There may be a way where these newsletters can be shared with all Affiliates. That is something we may want to consider. All your ideas and suggestions are welcomed. Please help by getting involved with this project.

Affiliate Club Liaison ReportBy Byron W. Elder



BIG news!!! The BTCA has contracted with a private web design company to update our current website! First off, thank you to long-time Webmaster and BTCA member Jeannie Thomason for donating her time and skills to keeping our website updated for the last several years! She has truly proven herself to be a “working” member of the BTCA! Now for the fun stuff, earlier this year the BTCA Board voted to hire an outside web design company to completely redesign the entire BTCA website. The Board looked at samples from three different web designers and chose a company called Prize Web Works, Inc. They build very “clean-looking” websites and came with high recommendations from the West Highland White Terrier Club of America who also uses their services. To view samples of their work, visit their “portfolio” page: prizewebworks.com/clients.htm. The BTCA Board also voted to have me, Melany Anaya, be the new “Web Editor”. I will be responsible for the content on the website. All updates, requests, comments and such should be directed to me, either by email ([email protected])

or by telephone: 925-798-7165. I am the only contact for Prize Web Works, Inc. and all website changes must go through me. The new designer will begin working on the basics of the site and I will have the Board review it before the site gets uploaded to the internet. Please be patient while work is being done, it will be a “work in progress” for at least a few months and will eventually include some new and exciting features! My hope is to include some additional pages on the site, including a performance page, a futurity page, BT of the Year, an archive page that may also include past winners of the national specialty, an updated, easier to navigate health section and eventually a “members only” section. The sky’s the limit! I will be in touch with all committee chairs on a regular basis to see if their pages have current information or not but please feel free to contact me at any time. If any BTCA member has something they’d like to see on it just let me know, this is our site, let’s make it look the way we like it!

It’s again time to request dona-tions for the 2009 Nationals trophies. We would like to have nice trophies for our show, however, it’s up to us as members to come up with the funds to purchase our trophies.

As an extra incentive to donate to the trophy fund, we are offering a free catalog for any donation of $40.00 or more. If you are unable to attend the nationals, a marked catalog will be sent to you. For anyone who won their class at last years Nationals or who won Best of Breed, Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed, Best of Winners, etc. and would like to sponsor that award for the 2009 Nationals, you will be given first chance to sponsor the

award if your donation is received by December 30. Otherwise, it will be a first come, first choice basis.

Judging Wednesday, April ��, �:�0-�0:00



Ever wondered, “What’s all the fuss about performance?” Today, people who do performance

also show their dog in conformation and some are involved in responsible breeding. But what is it that gets these people fired up about performance? A short answer, the special bond that develops between handler and dog when they strive to compete as a team. The challenge of working together as a team is very rewarding to both the handler and the dog. The BTCA concentrates on AKC performance venues. The ones offered at our national specialty each year are agility, competitive obedience and rally obedience. Lets take a look at the agility venue. In brief, dog agility is sport in which a dog runs through a timed obstacle course as commanded by the handler. Agility training strengthens the bond between dog and handler plus provides fun and

exercise for both. AKC agility is open to dogs 15 months or older and there are three levels, Novice, Open and Excellent. Dogs compete according to their performance level. The courses and rules become more difficult at higher levels. The obstacles vary and consist of jumps, tunnels, contact obstacles and weave poles. Jumps can have decorative wings or be wingless. There is also a tire jump and in every novice class, a broad jump where the dog has to show it can also jump width. Each jump is set at the proper height or width which is determined by the height of the dog at the shoulder area at the top back. Dogs must clear the full height of the jump without knocking the bar. There are two type of tunnels, open tunnels which are long open tubes and ‘chutes’ which are open at one end and have collapse fabric tube at the other. Tunnels are assigned a specific entry end and dogs must enter the correct end of the tunnel. The contact obstacles are called so because of the yellow contact zones at each end. They consist of the A-frame, the dogwalk and the teeter [see-saw]. To perform these obstacles correctly, dogs must get at least one paw in the yellow contact zone when they descend the obstacle and they must ride the teeter down to the ground before stepping off of it. One of the most exciting and usually the most difficult to train is the weave poles. Dogs must enter to the right of the first pole [every time] and zig-zag through to the end. They must not miss a pole.

The agility judge designs the pattern of each course and referees the dog and handlers performance indicating faults with her hands. Each course is a unique combination of obstacles that have not been seen before by the handler. Numbers are placed beside the obstacles to show the course sequence and the handlers get a brief walk through to familiarize themselves with the course. They usually walk several times to plan their handling strategy. The dogs run the course individually off leash, with or without a collar. A ‘timer’ tells the handler when to begin and as each dog runs the judge sends fault hand signals to the ‘scribe’ which are noted on a sheet of paper. That information is given to a scorekeeper who then calculates the dogs final score. The dogs running in each class with no faults and the fastest time win placements of first through fourth. A new class was recently added to agility called FAST - Fifteen And Send Time. This is a game of strategy where the handler directs their dog over agility obstacles, accumulating points for each obstacle correctly completed. It demonstrates the willingness of a dog to work with its handler in a fast-paced atmosphere. We do not offer it at the national specialty yet but hope to in the future. All of this requires time and dedication. Anyone who has a dog and wants to play should research training facilities in their area. Go, watch and ask how you can get involved. You will not be sorry and your dog will love you for it!

This article is being written to present fellow boston terrier fanciers the dilemmas we, not only affiliate clubs but all dog clubs in general, are facing today. Our first and foremost dilemma is membership. It seems that no one wants to be a club member these days. Does anyone stop to realize the costs involved in keeping a club going? I doubt that it is the member fee of $10 to $20 dollars per year. Perhaps it is the fact that no one wants to spend time in working in a club, which basically amounts to one specialty per year? For example our club, Golden Gate Boston Terrier Club has just over a handful of members, and we are on the brink of failure. There are many

other clubs facing the same situation. Listen up, this is serious! Not only the BTCA but all clubs need everyone’s support. I will give you our GGBTC expenses for an example: First our insurance policy of $600.00 per year; our annual specialty fee of $50.00 to the AKC; $100.00 to $300.00 for the ring; $15.00 charge per table; $.50 charge per chair; ring steward $50.00; judges hotel $300.00; show superintendent MBF charged us over $795.00. We still owed MBF $270.00 after a show of 42 entries. That doesn’t include the raffle, prizes and potluck. Not bad for a club with members paying a total of $160.00 in dues. Please consider supporting your local boston terrier club or consider

becoming an affiliate member of a club such as ours. Without your support you may not have a specialty or all-breed dog show to attend in the future.
