11.3. Discussion Item: We have spent an enormous amount of moneyon our database, but its utility is very limited. It does not have specializedqueries to allow on to obtain a selection of dogs with the same sire,same dam, particular clearances, etc.I move that we refer to the database committee a motion that we provide a read onlyclearance to individuals that would like to access the database via an external SQLclient.

We know the pitfalls. (Pam Rubio) such ahuge endeavor, and make our National Specialty truly National. Having the Specialtyin one central place would also bring down the cost, as contracts for tenting, lodging,power etc. could be negotiated for multiple years.

Dear Sir, Madam,

Please find attached my story with my Newfoundland (called Terranova in Spanish),recently adopted.There is no virus, nor spam.

I would ask you to read it. I am sure your organisation is interested in how is managedin other countries.I amb so glad that all of you have welfare and rescue programs in your organisations.This is amazing.

I am only a current woman involved in animal rescue. Sadly, in Spain there is too muchwork to do, butI hope our hard work could help someday to improve.

Thank you in advance for reading it.Yours sincerely,

Arantxa DomínguezBarcelona - Spain


In February 2015 we adopted Chelsea through an animal rescue group we met through Facebook.

Even she is a lovely Newfoundland dog breed, her weight (48 kilos) and her age (8) , don’t let her many opportunities of being adopted. We wanted to meet her. She was sad and disoriented. We take her to our home, and what I discover a few days later fills me of indignation, so I need to spread this story.

Our dog Chelsea, elderly for dog shows, with hanging breasts of several litters, with the scar of the recent sterilization, you can find her complete profile, as we did, on Internet: http://www.anmalamual-basaburua.com/

She is the waste of a Newfoundland breeder placed in Vallgorguina, Barcelona (Spain), apparently very reputable, which prides itself to be a responsible breeder. We invite you to visit their website, before they eliminate the contents.

You can find our dog Chelsea, called also "love at first sight" in all its glory. A pure breed dog that today, after many litters, unable to get pregnant again, she is not useful anymore, so she is rejected.

But above all, I hope this helps to current people like me, that we absolutely ignore this could happen. If someday you plan to buy a cute pure-breed puppy, please get informed and realise what this business so morally reprehensible can become. Even the most prestigious breeders could have something to hide.

CHELSEA

the sad story of a Spain’s beauty

champion

I feel responsible to spread this story, my own experience. The former owners of Chelsea, Anmalamual & Basaburua,

Patricia Melara, know that everything I have written is so absolutely true as I have their dog at home. If they have any interest in where their dog is living, I am going to tell that she’s fine. She’s learning to play and not to be afraid anymore.

Thanks to the power of social networks, the way you act can be known by your clients, your neighbours, friends… the whole community. This is the real courthouse. I hope the breeder, Anmalamual & Basaburua, Patricia Melara in Vallgorguina, Barcelona (Spain), understands soon that drop their living goods is not for free.

Dear Kristi,

The AKC Eukanuba National Championship is coming up, and once again theNCA has been invited to take part in The Meet the Breeds program held inconjunction with this event. The Board is hoping that once again NewfFlais willing to represent NCA and the breed at this venue. If you agree, Iwill send you all the necessary information and paperwork to register.

The NCA will support you both monetarily and with ideas/materials in orderto help present our wonderful breed. We ask that you submit a budget toMary L. Price to cover the costs you anticipate to incur. Both BearMountain Newfoundland Club and the Newfoundland Club of SouthernCalifornia have lots of experience with Meet the Breeds events, and I'msure would be more than willing to assist you in any way possible. I knowLynne Anderson Powell and Denise Hatakeyama were very instrumental intheir clubs'presentations. I believe the SoCal Club got first place overall one yearand first place in the Working Group the following year. Quite aproduction, but they had fun doing it.

NCA thanks you for your past involvement, and hope you will be willing totake on this task again this year. Please let me know if your club willparticipate.

Sincerely,Pam Rubio - NCA Corresponding Secretary--

Report to the NCA Board of Directors for July-August

The WDC would like to thank the board of directors for reconsidering their position on committeereappointments. The WDC has spent the summer months reorganizing roles, providing information toregional clubs for upcoming events, and clarifying regulations based on judges questions and commentsat the WDC Forum at the national, correspondence the committee has received, as well as membercomment.

The WDC has completed the following:

Processed for acceptance 20 draft tests and 6 DDX tests for Spring 2015

Processed for acceptance 47 water tests for 2015

Updated the NCA website with current contacts for WDC members

Distributed clarifying emails to all water test judges regarding questions on regulations raisedfrom judges comments

Answered questions from test secretaries on the process for NCA member early-entries

Revised the judges tests based on judges and board member feedback to eliminate vague ormisleading wording on the judges test for all judges both draft and water.

Updated the judges list based on year-one of the phased in process of judges’ testing

Submitted data for all spring draft tests to the NCA database

Celebrated the successes of Newfoundland qualifiers by sending certificates and patches to allqualifiers for 2015 to date.

The WDC continues to work on:

Updating all WDC working files, correspondence, and committee working documents,regulations and spreadsheets into the shared NCA database. It is hoped that this will be completed nolater than Jan 1 of this year.

Refining regulations for board approval based on member feedback through test evaluationsand judges comments.

Developing educational and involvement opportunities for working dog judges.

Development of further opportunities to involve more Newfoundland owners in working events.


These refinements and new opportunities will come before the board for approval at future meetings.

Action items for NCA Board of Directors Approval

The WDC would like to utilize online fillable forms for judges to submit comments, positive suggestionsfor regulation updates, and judges’ qualifications updates.

To begin this process, the WDC would like to include the following online form on both the website andin future Judges Corner Newsletters to streamline the process for updating judging files and improvingthe response to changes in judging status.

This is the link to what the form looks like:

https://docs.google.com/a/jeffcoschools.us/forms/d/1AljQy-gcvBYMC2rr46fpU0k8jKGGV7JBPqIQGplGeMs/viewform

This is what the responses will look like:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dRvxhcWbUaRbyItzCC_zx_0I_8L-oU_4c7tduk-jUfI/edit?usp=sharing

The forms have been developed in Google documents because that is the program that is most familiarto the group, it provides easy file sharing capability and can be accessed by multiple individuals. If needbe, and with a little “training” from somewhere, we can convert these to a different platform that theNCA would prefer.

The WDC would appreciate approval of this to be implemented as soon as possible. Please contact mewith any questions or concerns.

Respectfully submitted:

Sue RaneyWorking Dog Committee Chairperson

Hi Susan,

Here are our final buy-laws.

We changed the fiscal date to start 1-1.

Everything else is the same except when dues are due, changed the date tocorrespond to the fiscal year.

Everything is renumbered and ready to go.

Our membership has reviewed and accepted as it is at the annual meeting so ifthe NCA approves the final submission we are completed.

ThanksJohn
