The April show in Timonium featured a tribute to the late Rich Drake for his tremendous support of the wonderful Lhasa. Pictured here at the show's tribute table is his wife, Bev Drake. As a couple they worked tirelessly for our breed. Bev is the current president of CMLAF and is also a wonderful champion of the Lhasa Apso.

There has been some messages regarding the availability of puppies. At this time no one has any that are not promised. I have asked all the breeders to let me know if/when they have puppies and will let you all know immediately. These times are not the normal for our club so please keep checking for new information. Thank you.

Another take on using dogs to sniff out COVID-19

A "canine surveillance" corps could offer a noninvasive, four-legged method to screen people in airports, businesses or hospitals, researchers say.

14/05/2020

Interesting concept. Perhaps dogs are the answer to screening for businesses. It is a commercial site so will have adds, etc. but still worth considering.

Dogs have already been taught to detect diseases such as cancer. UK health experts believe they could be trained to sniff test the coronavirus.

This is a fantastic piece about all things Lhasa. Very well done and worth the read. Enjoy

I know these are not Lhasas but if you are missing sports and love dogs, you will love this!

Two long time members of CMLAF and Lhasa breeders, handlers and lovers of the breed have recently passed away.
These tributes would have been in the April show catalog but since our show is cancelled we’ll dedicate next year’s show to them. They are so missed by all who knew them and we will sure miss Gina's puppies. You all take care and be safe.

Let's just say my Lhasa Apso is a very lucky dog. So am I. Didn't imagine that a fox would come right up to my fenced in yard or that my dog and I would scramble to get back in the house without getting bit. this information from the Anne Arundel County health officials is good advice. Be sure that your pets are current with their vaccinations. Even though my Lhasa had no physical contact and he had his rabies vaccine in March, he was required to get a booster shot. He will be quarantined for 45 days though. No running in the park and he will hate that. So be careful out there.

Residents need to contact Anne Arundel County health officials if they or their pets were near a red fox in Severna Park that had rabies.
