Central States is offering a retired medium 5" x 7" Royal Doulton Collie figurine of CH Ashtead Applause, HN 1058, for auction. This figurine was donated to our club by Dr. William Brokken and we are putting this out in honor of Bonnie Young of Shadaglen Collies, who passed away on July 12, 2022. The Fall issue of the CCA Bulletin ran a full article on Bonnie, her start, and her influence on numerous breeders in the West. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Tuff Quest for their scholarship program for juniors.

Minimum bids will start at $60 and will be open until noon, CST, on Easter Sunday, March 31. We will not ship, but can bring the figurine to the National in Peoria. Payment can be made via Zelle or cash or check. Place your bids below.

A very sad notice from Judy's friend Kathy O'Shay:

It is with great sadness that I share the news that our dear Judy Belluomini passed away peacefully at her home on Tuesday, January 9, 2024.
Sweet Judy… She will be deeply missed by all who loved her. We will hold our special memories of Judy in our hearts forever. Judy‘s wonderful spirit, her love and devotion to her loving husband, Frank, her incredible passion for teaching, and her dedication to raising her beautiful collies made Judy the remarkable lady that she was. ❤️
Services to honor this lovely woman will be on Saturday, January 20, 2024
10:00-12:30
McMurrough Funeral Chapel
101 Park Place
Libertyville, IL.
Interment will take place from 12:30-1:30
Lakeside Cemetery

Libertyville, IL
🌺Rest peacefully now sweet Judy. We love you dearly.

Judy was a long term member of Central States Collie Club. She was most active in training her Collies in Obedience, receiving a Versatility Excellent Award on one of her dogs who also was the first Collie to receive a top Tracking award. She loved her mornings going tracking with her boys. We will miss Judy's smiling face.

We celebrated National Dog Day yesterday by participating in Meet the Breeds at the Great American Dog Show in Chicago. More participants joined in today. So many people stopped to see and pet the Collies. Central States members attending were
Laura Rizzo, Karen Soeder, Louise Palarik and her friend Chris Ploetz, and Emilea Bynum and her mother who came all the way from Indianapolis with their two smoothes to help out. They stayed for today and were joined by Lenise Adams, Jill Hansrote, and Laurie Lane and their dogs. The Collies all loved the attention and petting they received.

Much respect to the Malinois community for their social media campaign to educate people about their breed prior to the release of the movie 'Cool Dog' which features a Malinois.
We've all seen interest in particular breeds featured in movies spike after hitting the theatre, usually with bad results, an increased number of backyard breeders and damage to the reputation of that breed - not to mention the number of dogs who will end up in shelters and rescues through no fault of their own.
Let's support the Malinois/Terv/Belgian Sheepdog community by relaying that these dogs, while a wonderful breed, are usually NOT suitable for a casual pet home.
