Eye Clinic
The Collie Club of Western Pennsylvania is hosting its Eye Clinic, with Dr. Lionel Rubin, on December 8, 2002, at Meadowlands Veterinary Hospital, 1200 Washington Road, Washington, PA 15301.

Hours:  9:00 AM to 3:00 PM
Appointments: 
Barbara Linder 412-793-2811  or Emily Ladasky 724-898-1822.

Fees:  $23.00 per dog
$3.00 additional for C.E.R.F.
$65.00 per litter (under three months old)

Directions:  From Interstate 79, take Meadowlands Exit, turn left on Racetrack Road, turn right at Route 19 South, turn left 1/4 mile to Meadowlands Veterinary on left.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the different types of certification, the C.E.R.F. certification may be, for an extra fee, sent in to be a part of your dog's permanent record with AKC, and will appear on the registration papers of any puppies produced by your dog.

The American Spaniel Club's Health registry accepts the non-CERF certification (the one for $23 at this clinic).  After receiving the "Eye Papers", you must mail the original (be sure you make a copy to keep, for "just in case") along with a copy of the dog's registration papers, to:
ASC Health Registrar,
Judy P. Iby
5471 Mt. Zion Road
Milford
OH 45150
For further information, call 513-732-0458 before 8 PM, or e-mail jiby@cinci.infi.net
There is no fee for adding your dog's health information to the health registry, though donations are welcome.  You can also include your hip, thyroid, blood clotting factors, and other health clearances in the health registry.  You do NOT have to be a member of ASC to have your dogs included in the health registry.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!  to all dogs and owners. 
May 2003 bring more titles in conformation,
performance, and temperament. 
Hello everyone, my name is Miss Mollie. I would like to find a nice family
to adopt me. I live with my foster mommy and all my dog family in Franklin,
Pa.  I am a good girl, at least that is what my foster mom says. I am about
4 years old. I am a black cocker spaniel and mom says I am very petite. I am
spayed and up to date on all my shots. I like just about everything,
including running. That is why mom says I must have a fenced in yard. I try
to be good in my obedience but sometimes I forget.  These are some of the
things I love to do. I love to snuggle (the closer the better), I love to
kiss, I love to sing, I love kids and I don't mind other animals as long as
they are nice to me. I am full of energy and very quick so that gets me into
trouble. But if you would love me I would love you back. Mom says that you
can contact her by phone (814) 432-7454 or by email (cathy@csonline.net) or
by mail Cathy Runninger, 5024 Georgetown Road, Franklin, PA 16323. Thank
you, Miss Mollie
Cathy Runninger, Franklin, PA
