Fall Election for 3 Directors
There are three directors whose terms expire at the end of 2008. Those are Brice Romero, Stu Wange, and Joe Bubulka. It is unclear if any or all of them will run for re-election. We will have an election commencing in October. At this time the APLA is solicting for those members who wish to run for a 2 year term.
The requirements are to be a current member in good standing. You need to submit your nomination letter no later than September 20th. This letter needs to or should contain the following items.
*The office you are running for. Here it is director.
*Why you feel you would make a good director.
*Any goals or objectives for the APLA you would have if you were elected.
*Your length of membership with the APLA.
*Amount of and type of APLA officer or event experience as well as other dog organizations.
*Dog experience relative to titles attained, training, judging, hunting, etc.
*Your letter must contain your name, address, phone number, and email address.
*And lastly your letter must contain 10 current members who support your nomination and whose permission you have attained. List their addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. (Double check this information for completeness and accuracy. Nine current members won't pass, it takes 10 members.)

Online Hunt Test Registration System - Friday, August 8, 2008
MEMBERS STILL NEED TO MAIL YOUR ENTRIES TO THE HUNT TEST SECRETARIES!
On line entry of dogs by members is not yet available. This phase is for the hunt test record keeping only. This past Spring season, APLA successfully rolled out version 1.2 of our custom built Hunt Test Registration System (HTRS)! All Spring HT results are available on http://www.americanpointinglab.com/site/Dogs/tabid/108/Default.aspx.
In case you have not heard about our new system, HTRS is an online, password protected, application which will allow real time access to membership data as well as certification data. The following features and benefits were included in this release of the software.
* Membership information as well as certification information can be cross checked and updated in a prompt manner.
* Hunt Test Secretaries can easily enter test scores which will lead to quicker certificate generation.
* Improve the turn around time from Hunt Test Events to the results being posted online.
* New accounting reporting features:
> Ability to enter one payment to cover multiple entries.
> Refunds for scratch entries (if applicable).
> Create income summary report.
* Allow BOD Secretary to add/update memberships on line (mail-in only).
* Add bird count report enabling HT secretaries to keep track of birds.
* Enhanced Reports
> Alternate row shading for easier viewing.
> Input translation to ALL CAPs when HTS enters data all lower case or proper case so reports and HT Booklet looks uniform.
* Enhanced scoring for quicker certificate generation.
> Add owner name and address to score report.
* Enhanced judge's sheets program allows HT secretaries to print judge's sheets at once.

I am just new to the web site. I live in Minnesota and am looking for a pointing chocolate lab pup. I currently have an 11 year old chocolate lab that started to naturally point as a pup. I have had chocolates for 30+ years so it is a little hard to change colors at this point. I do like the pointing feature. I hunt primarily upland - pheasants - in SD and IA. I love the training of young dogs but want to try and get one that will point. I would appreciate some help in looking for a new dog. Where do I start. I have been a many breeders web sights but there seems to be a limited supply of Chocolate lab pups.

Nah, shouldn't be a problem. I was raised and hunted behind those speckle belly Shorthairs for over 40 years and now have 3 PLs.... The hardest part for me was to adjust to those dang tails......
Color is about mid way down my list of priorities. I focus on health clearances, temperment in the home and upland capabilities including point above color. There are some nice chocolate dogs out there, you just need to do your research and talk to breeders and their references to pick the right one for you.
Best of luck.

| I have a litter due around April 13. My dog(Dam) is Snake River's Maggie May, CPR and the Sire is Shadow Mountain's Muddy Ripple, Rip MPR. The litter should be all chocolate. Please see Shadow Mountain Labs web site and my site, http://mysite.verizon.net/garysandy_tingley/index.html
Give me a call. I'll post when the pups are born on my site and what the numbers are.

I'm also from Minnesota. I have been in your shoes! I know
how hard it is to find pointing labs (especially in our area), then you add the
color chocolate which is even harder and then wanting a female. All I can say
is the guys in the Minnesota Pointing Lab Club are a great resource of
information (check their website). They are really willing to help out.
Also, be patient!! You don't want to just jump into the first litter you find
that meets all your qualifications of being a pl, choc, and females available;
you never know what you could find the next day or the next week or even month.
I have been waiting 3 months to find my pup (choc, female, pl) and I my happy
to say it was just born on Easter and I know I have 6 more weeks to wait before
I can finally bring it into my family but I'm really glad I waited, since I
know this one will be great.
Here are a few website that I had checked on a routine basis
for litter information:
-wwww.startribune.com
-www.gundogsonline.com
-www.mnpointinglabs.com
-www.minnesotaoutdoornews.com
-just check local newspaper classifieds and when you do find one be sure to ask
LOTS of questions (are they hip and eye cert, are the both parents
proven pointers, etc.)!!
Hope this is helpful
