Talkin’ Terriers
Montgomery County Kennel Club has come and gone. The winners were crowned and terrier history was made. One of the things I have always loved about the Hatboro/Montgomery week is thinking about the friendships I have made throughout the years and how that melancholy feeling comes over me as we say good-bye until the next show season. Then we begin settling into the peace and joy of this Holiday season with The Hallmark channel on the TV and a cup of hot chocolate with candy canes in it. TerrierGroup has had some very exciting news. 2017 was the first year we were eligible to enter the Dog Writers of America Writing Competition. I sent the entries off in September with great expectations... well I am happy to report a few nominations. Kris Kibbee for Humorous Writing Why Terriers Make the Best New Year’s Dates. Melanie Feldges for Best Single Illustration Why Terriers Make the Best New Year’s Dates. TerrierGroup Magazine for Best Single/Related or All Breed Print Magazine. I am so proud of everyone on the TerrierGroup staff. Check facebook for updates! I would like to wish our writers, contributors, advertisers, and readers the warmest Holiday wishes and a wonderful New Year! Melanie
Happy Holidays! Winter 2018

Muriel Lee • EDITORIAL
TerrierGroup Editorial The holiday season is upon us and everyone has busy lives, and we can tell that from this issue as several writers are taking a sabbatical. Gary Bachman will be taking a leave for now as he is busy writing a book about French Bulldogs and the fantastic artifacts that go with the breed. Gary, an expert in the field, will turn out a beautiful book! Kris Kibbee has been busy searching out proper presents to put under the Christmas tree for your terrier friend, and as always, she has scrubbed the internet for the interesting and unusual to go along with the Christmas song, The Twelve Days of Christmas. Jo Ann Frer-Murza sent in an excellent article on grouse hunting with the Border Terriers in Canada. It is so good to see how our terriers are doing more these days than just entering the show ring or sitting on a couch. They are indeed busy dogs and also keeping their owners busy, too. Olga, our foreign correspondent, has written about the world show in Leipzig, Germany, and as always, has included her great photography to go along with the article. As I was writing the article on the extinct English White Terrier I received this photo from the William Secord Art Gallery (www.dogpainting. com). ..an outstanding painting of the breed.

Montgomery County has had another successful terrier show. I didn’t attend but I heard the weather was warm, the shows were good and, of course, the winners were a happy lot. However, I found it very difficult to round up the correct best of breed winners; it’s hard to understand how a show of this caliber cannot get the winners listed on line in a timely and correct manner. In the news: The Washington Post had an interesting article titled Pain and Painkillers. In the age of opioid abuse it seems that some individuals are taking their dog to their veterinarians, requesting pain medication for the animal and then using the prescriptions for themselves. Colorado and Maine have enacted laws that require veterinarians to check the prescription histories of the pet owners. However, many vets feel that they are veterinarians, not physicians, and this is beyond their jurisdiction. In addition, if a veterinarian suspects that a client is using the drugs illegally, what should he do? Serious questions these days, for a very serious problem, and ones that will require thought and appropriate action. Mayo Clinic has done a new study that finds that it’s fine to let Rover sleep in the bedroom but better that he not sleep in your bed as having them in the bed with
you does reduce the quality of your sleep. And that sleep quality didn’t seem to change if it were a small dog or a large one. The researchers measured the dogs’ quality of sleep too and found that the dog slept well wherever he was. We had a fourteen pound “Morris” cat who shared our queen size bed and we each got a third of it. I didn’t have a good night’s sleep until he went to the bed in the sky. At the Los Angeles airport they have a new program called Pets Unstressing Passengers which consists of seven or eight red shirted dogs with their volunteer owners who walk through the airport offering “unwavering love for a couple of hours a day.” The passengers feel that the affectionate dogs help to “de-stress you” before you board.
Southern Living magazine had a short and to-thepoint article on ‘Hitting the Trails’ with your dog. Check your pet’s fitness level and don’t take young puppies on a stressful hike as that could affect their developing joints. Be aware of the current weather and don’t take a steep trail on a hot day. Don’t let your dog drink from brackish puddles of water and carry your own water and a bowl. Bring bags for waste and keep the trail clean. Also make sure that all vaccinations are current. Leash your dog near drop-offs and when you pass other hikers and let those hikers without pets have the right of way. Most importantly, keep the ratio 1 to 1, human to companion, and don’t hike with more than two dogs, with three dogs making a pack. Sounds like good advice!
What to do if your pet gets skunked? An article from the Los Angeles Times says that it is one of the most common phone calls received in veterinary emergency rooms. Rather than using tomato soup, a common remedy where the dog will smell like skunk and tomato soup, there is a recipe that should be used as soon as possible after the incident: one quart hydrogen peroxide, ½ cup baking soda and 1 tablespoon of dish soap, preferably Dawn. Wear old clothes as there may be staining, and plastic gloves would be helpful. Put the mixture on your pet and hopefully try and leave it on him for ten to fifteen minutes as the longer it is on the more effective it will be. The dish soap is the important ingredient as it will break down the skunk’s oil based spray. If the dog has been sprayed in the face rinse the eyes with a saline solution, artificial tears or eye wash. Also, wash out his mouth with cool water. If you notice any lethargy or labored breathing get the animal to the veterinarian immediately. Other suggestions for solutions to use are: Skunk-Off Shampoo and Nature’s Miracle Skunk Odor Remover.
From Japan! The armor of the samurai is now made for the Japanese dog, complete with helmet. Weighing 100 grams it does not affect a pet’s ability to move about. The maker of this suit, Samurai Age, has been overwhelmed with orders since a Shibu Inu was pictured wearing the suit. Sizes range from small cats (I’d like to see someone get this on a cat, however their website does show several modeling cats!) to medium sized dogs. It’s light weight and cute! There is a month long waiting period to get your hands on this cute piece of clothing and prices run from $150 and up.
And always, send us your ideas, thoughts and for sure, your ads.

The Twelve Terriers of Christmas
(and what they want from Santa Paws!) A Parson in a Pear Tree With his lively, energetic nature, the Parson Russel Terrier may look every bit the lap dog, but he’s no couch potato! This kid needs a boatload of beefy, engaging toys to keep his wee mind occupied. Since he was bred to hunt red fox, he needs a toy that will interact with him just like those foxy devils of yore. May we suggest the PetSafe Busy Buddy Tug-A-Jug? This toy will withstand all the tugging, pulling, and chewing your little Parson can dish out, and it’ll reward him with the occasional kibble or two! You can find the Tug-A-Jug at many fine retailers, both on and offline, and by utilizing the link we’ve provided.
Two White Westie Doves The adorable and charismatic West Highland White Terrier is possibly one of the most iconic
12
TerrierGroup.org
terriers and highly praised by his fanciers. While a wide range of personalities and drive levels seem to exist within the breed, the heart of a true working terrier beats beneath that ivory coat . . . and that drive demands a certain tenacity from his toys. Born and bred to rat out small varmints, the Westie would love a little critter in his stocking! But unless you want a major uproar befalling your Christmas festivities you may want to stick to something like the Pet Skinneeez Forest Series Raccoon Stuffingless Dog Toy. This pre-gutted toy will make your Westie feel like he’s nabbed himself a still-squeaking half-dead coon while saving you the epic catastrophe that catching a real one would involve.
Three Hairless Hens While the American Hairless may be one of the lesser known Terriers, that doesn’t make him any less fabulous! This feisty, fearless little fella would probably be best described as one of the more “agreeable” terriers, as he tends not to be overly hyper and, of course, is hypoallergenic. But when you combine that bare derriere with a chilly winter night, we’ll bet dollars to donuts he’ll appreciate a Thermo-Snuggly Sleeper Pet Bed. The divine
design of this snuggly little number will keep him toasty until Spring breaks!
Four Cesky Birds The Cesky Terrier may not be surfing the top of the AKC’s registry list, but with all that these amiable, elegant terriers have going on they certainly should be! Curious, playful pups who are, “a bit more trainable than the average terrier,” the Cesky is a standout in his class, even if he’s hidden in the back row. Only just recognized by the AKC in 2011, it feels like the Cesky is an upand-coming star, so why not pamper yours with a little star treatment? How about a handmade star tag from Island Top Custom Tags? Island Top offers a bevy of gorgeous, hand-stamped tags so that your Cesky can puff his chest and walk tall. . . knowing that he’s the brightest star in your sky.
Five Golden Glens While his typical color could more accurately be described as wheaten, the Glen of Imaal Terrier is every bit the golden child. Bred as a working farm dog, this lad was no-doubt prized for his legendary digging and ratting capabilities, and he’s keen to go on using those instincts today. So why don’t you and Santa Paws collaborate on a little DIY project this Christmas and build your wee Glen his very own sandbox? A lovely, simple to follow article from Cuteness (included under ‘Product Links’) tells you everything you need to know! And if Santa’s too busy to lug sand, and your list is too long to accommodate one more Christmas to-do, there are plenty of ready-made sandboxes for
purchase from a variety of other retailers (see Product Links).
Six Scotties Laying If his history is any indicator, you probably won’t see a Scottish Terrier laying down anytime soon! This spirited, independent lil’ lad has an active body and an upbeat personality that drives his desire to get out and get social! And as most Scotty owners know, this breed is no stranger to the ogling bystander. Such a dog should be steppin’ out in style, right? A smart little coat with just the right amount of bling seems like the perfect accessory for such a social little fashionista . . . wouldn’t you agree? Posh Puppy has some absolutely fabulous offerings for the on-trend pooch. Might we suggest the Coco Boucle Trench Coat? Eeek! It’s to die for!
Seven Skye’s ‘a Swimming What many would call one of the most underrated of all the terriers, the unfailingly loyal Skye is tops when it comes to devotion. Perhaps the most famous Skye Terrier, Greyfriars Bobby, was so devoted that even after his master died, Bobby laid atop the man’s grave for fourteen years . . . leaving only for food. Such a devoted dog deserves a special place in your heart, and on your sofa! Why not make him a permanent fixture there with a personalized pillow featuring his name and likeness? Personalization Mall has a dandy little number that might do quite nicely, or with a bit of Skye tenacity, you and Santa Paws might even be able to dig up something better! Winter 2018

Eight Manchesters Milking Spirited, bright, and keenly observant, the Manchester Terrier is an independent fellow whose desire for personal space and warmth make him quite easy to shop for! While most Manchesters probably own a fine selection of foxy, warming attire, does yours have his very own snuggle sack? There is nice array of offerings both online and at your local pet shop, but a squishy, faux-fur little number sold by G.W. Little is one of our faves. Winter chill— fuggitaboutit!
Nine Irish Dancers With a nickname like “daredevil,” you know the Irish Terrier is up for about anything you can throw at him. He’s that adventuresome lad who’d opt for a life spent jet-setting the world—climbing mountains in Malaysia and dog-paddling The Nile—rather than couchsurfing. And heck, even if you’re not quite as bold as your plucky Irish pup, maybe he can inspire you to get out there and experience all that life has to offer? Why not start with a backpacking trip to parts unknown? Outward Hound has some lovely offerings for the outdoor enthusiast, and their utilitarian day pack might just get you two inspired to do some serious adventuring, and even more importantly—a boatload of bonding.
Ten Lakeland’s Leaping Originally bred to protect sheep from foxes, the Lakeland Terrier is a busy little guy who is at his
14
TerrierGroup.org
best when he has a job to do. While now-a-days Lakelands typically find themselves on a footrest rather than in a field, this keen dog hasn’t forgotten his roots . . . and . . . in true terrier fashion, they’re dug in— DEEP! If you own a Lakeland, or are thinking about adding one to your family, you’re best served to occupy him with engaging activities . . . lest he get bored and root out some mischief to entertain himself. Thus, we’d suggest Buster’s Activity Mat for your lively little scamp this Christmas. This dynamic toy comes standard with three mind-bending puzzles for your dog to complete. As his skill progresses, you can purchase additional puzzles and simply snap them into the mat!
Eleven Staffies Piping Despite his many critics, anyone whose ever owned an American Staffordshire Bull Terrier knows what an incredibly sweet lug he is. Dubbed, “The Nanny Dog,” due to his propensity to be gentle and patient with children, the Staffy is a loving companion whose unfailing loyalty and clownish nature have made him a favorite amongst the terriers. Sadly, the breed is still trying to shake its unfairly earned reputation, and since your little bundle of light and love wants nothing more than to be stroked and adored by the masses, why not
Twelve Terriers of Christmas go out of your way to promote bully love by showing your breed pride with a couple of pendants? Urban Horsewear has a lovely little number for just $10. Buy one for you and one for your bully mate. Hang his on his collar and put yours right over your heart. Show the world what real love looks like.
Twelve Dandies Drumming He may look like a bit of a goof, with that plume of hair crowning his head, but the Dandie Dinmont Terrier is no slouch! This loveable little fella is intelligent, adaptable, and has a biggerthan-life personality that his body can barely contain! Perhaps it is indeed that formidable personality which has stretched the Dandie’s body out to such lengthy proportions and for that reason, our Christmas pick for the Dandie Dinmont on your list is a sturdy set of pet stairs. As most long-bodied dog owners know, back problems can be rampant in these slinky-shaped canines, and even if your Dandie isn’t having any issues yet, incorporating some pet stairs into your home in an effort to mitigate jumping is an excellent way to prevent future back issues. There are a bevy of options available when it comes to pet stairs, but regardless of height, material, or portability, you’ll want to make sure and purchase a set suited for small dogs (which typically come standard with more steps). Majestic Pet offers a nice, portable option that is well suited for our short-legged Dandie Pals—and they come in a variety of patterns and styles. In closing, whatever gifts your pooch receives this year, one thing is certain . . . his greatest Christmas wish has already been granted, because he’s loved by you.

BREEDING STRATEGIES Interpreting Your DNA Test Results for Autosomal Recessive Diseases
VetGen’s DNA test findings can be extremely valuable when developing and implementing your breeding plans. Interpreting your DNA test results for Autosomal Recessive Diseases will assist in producing healthy dogs.
Unfortunately, the dog will be medically affected by the disease. Appropriate treatment should be pursued by consulting a veterinarian.
There are three possible test results: Clear, Carrier, and Affected. Below is a description of what each result means to you as a breeder.
This finding indicates that two copies of the disease gene are present in the dog. These dogs always have a potential to bleed given the right circumstance and will always pass on the disease gene (mutation) to their progeny. Please see the following page, for more detailed information. Also, inform your veterinarian and consult with him/her regarding this test result.
Clear This finding indicates that the gene is not present in your dog. Therefore, when used for breeding, a Clear dog will not pass on the disease gene.
Carrier This finding indicates that one copy of the disease gene is present in your dog, but that it will not exhibit disease symptoms. Carriers will not have medical problems as a result. Dogs with Carrier status can be enjoyed without the fear of developing medical problems but will pass on the disease gene 50% of the time.
Affected This finding indicates that two copies of the disease gene are present in the dog.

TerrierGroup.org
Affected (In the case of vWD Type l**)
** In the case of Type l vWD - All puppies will be genetically Affected (see “Notes”.)
Helpful Canine Breeding Chart The chart provided outlines the implications of various breeding pair combinations. Remember, it is always best to breed “Clear to Clear”. If followed by all breeders, these strategies will ensure a significant reduction in the frequency of the targeted disease gene in future generations of dogs.
However, to maintain a large enough pool of good breeding stock, it may be necessary for some breeders to breed “Clear” to “Carriers”

100% Affected
Ideal Breeding Pair - Puppies will not have the disease gene (neither as Carrier nor as Affected). Breeding Is Safe - No Affected puppies will be produced. However, some or all puppies will be Carriers.Accordingly, it is recommended that Carrier dogs which are desirable for breeding be bred with Clear dogs in the future, which will produce 50% carrier and 50% clear animals, to further reduce the disease gene frequency. These offspring should be tested by VetGen’s test for this defective gene, and if possible, only the clear animals in this generation should be used. High Risk Breeding - Some puppies are likely to be Carriers and some puppies are likely to be Affected. Even though it is possible that there will be some clear puppies when breeding “Carrier to Carrier”, in general, neither this type of breeding pair nor “Carrier to Affected” are recommended for breeding. Breeding Not Recommended - All puppies will be genetically and medically affected.
Notes 1. The breeds who have vWD Type 1 and where a DNA test is currently available are: Bernese Mountain Dog, Coton de Tulear, Doberman Pincher, Drentsche Patrijschond, German Pinscher, Kerry Blue Terrier, Manchester Terrier, Papillon, Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Poodle and Stabyhoun. 2. The breeds who have vWD Type ll and where a DNA test is currently available are: Chinese Crested, Collie, Deutsch Drahthaar, German Longhaired Pointe, German Shorthaired Pointer, German Wirehaired Pointer, Pointer. 3. The breeds who have vWD Type lll and where a DNA test is currently available are:Scottish Terrier, Shetland Sheepdog, and Kooikerhondje.

TIM RACER PROFESSIONAL ARTIST AND CARVER OF CAROUSEL ANIMALS
Tim Racer graduated from The Center for Creative Studies in Detroit in 1984 and since that time his life has taken several artistic turns. Originally an advertising illustrator in Chicago, he became well known for his craftsmanship, use of color and stylized work. Tiring of commercial art assignments he turned to three-dimensional art in the form of wood carving. This came naturally to him as he grew up in a family of tree trimmers and had learned a great deal about wood-grain. He says, “Carousel restoration gave me the perfect foundation skills for carving as I was able to literally see the carvings from the inside out. Moving to three dimensional art reminds me of skiing for the first time - friends thought I picked it up pretty quickly, however I remember it being much tougher than I imagined and wondered if I might accidentally kill myself before the day was over. I had a lot of fun doing both though!” I asked how he became interested in carousel animals. He responded,
18
TerrierGroup.org
“I became interested in carousel animals quite by accident. The instructor of a ‘Birds of Prey’ handling class I was taking at a local raptor rehabilitation center was, and still is, a falconer who makes her living restoring antique carousel animals. Pam Hessey (of Hawk’s Eye Studio) and I hit it off pretty quickly and she offered me work after seeing my portfolio. That was over two decades ago and we are still working together today. I painted all kinds of animals for her and now she paints most of my dogs for me - I painted my first couple of commissions and still paint the head carvings that I do and will
sometimes paint designs on a blanket or add more pink to a dog’s lips, etc. Pam taught me her oil technique so our work looks very similar. Our color sense is nearly identical, so we’re a great team. I’ve let her know that she can never retire!
“Restoration took a back seat to my carving work when I began carving thirteen years ago. I’ve only taken on one restoration project since then as I’ve been fortunate enough to be booked with dog carvings since my first commission. I don’t know where I would be if it weren’t for all the crazy dog people out there. I know - looks who’s talking!” I wondered about the history of carousels in America – how many were there and how many are left? “I’ve heard estimates that of the 15,000 carousels once in the US, only about 150 remain. Several zoos have more recently commissioned ‘preservation’ carousels with endangered species adorning their platforms.” I was interested in knowing if Tim’s animals end up on carousels in amusement parks or if they are privately owned. “My dog carvings are finding homes on both coasts most of my clients seem to be from upstate New York, then Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, Bermuda and Canada. I haven’t shipped one to Europe yet, but I’ve given bids from Spain to Russia - it would be a great excuse to finally visit my ancestor’s homeland in the Alsace-Lorraine region of France if I had to go photograph and measure a dog over the pond! I’ll keep visualizing a

Great Dane, Bloodhound, and a Borzoi and maybe I’ll get lucky!” “The dogs that I carve do not end up on carousels as they are done on commission for private dog owners; however they are built identically to the antiques that I restored for a decade. All of them are hollow in the torso and have pole holes, except for the rockers, which have metal oval handles similar to many of the antique French carousel animals that I have a such a fondness for.” Tim uses basswood for his carvings and wooden dowels, as nails would eventually rust. Tim is a regular lecturer at the Annual Carousel West Conference In Pacific Grove, CA. His restoration work of twelve 19th century antique Dare carousel animals are on permanent display at the New York Museum in Albany and other public projects include various carousels in the San Francisco bay area in California. 20

with his wife Donna Reynolds. They were hired by the federal government to evaluate the dogs from the infamous case of dogfighter/ football player Michael Vick. Of the 49 dogs from the case, they brought ten back to California that they felt would be right for their program. Within a short period of time all ten dogs had been rehomed, many into families with children, to start their new forever lives.

Tony and Beth Hunt entered the world of hunting terriers in 1997 when they brought their four year old Border Terrier, Jansim Just Gizmo, from New Brunswick to their new home in the relative wilderness of British Columbia. Both of the Hunts are outdoor-oriented and Tony became an avid hunter. They didn’t expect their little lapwarmer to become just as dedicated and competent in the field as her human family. As time went by, Tony and Beth noticed that Jansim Just Gizmo was completely tuned in to the outdoors and using her nose. Tony got serious about Gizmo’s hunting career at the mature age of five when Gizmo’s instincts just couldn’t be denied. With some coaching and successful trips to the woods, Gizmo became Tony’s first grouse hunting dog, a job she dearly loved. Soon after those wonderful years, the Hunts decided to add another Border Terrier and, in 2002, asked Pam Dyer of Jansim Border Terriers for another Border Terrier to join the household. Pam picked a puppy for them that she knew would adapt to the diverse lifestyle of a home-and-hunt Border Terrier. Jansim Norbury Gremlin fit the bill perfectly and Tony began his next hunt relationship. Gremlin’s earliest achievement was to win his Canadian show Championship which he later followed with ribbons in American National Specialties. But his favorite place was in the country. Gremlin learned his skills from watching Gizmo hunt during their extended hunting trips with Tony. Tony always showed Gremlin the grouse that Gizmo had found for them and praised both terriers for helping him. Tony especially enjoyed getting out into the woods with his dogs, watching them work out scents, and seeing their joy in searching with him. They always had a contented look and smile on their faces when
they were out roaming the woods with him. Gremlin loved his sport so much that he would lie down near the assembled hunting gear by the door and wait to be taken along. In no way did these hunting treks change the Borders’ activities in the house. They remained consummate couch potatoes. Tony says that Gremlin always wanted to be on someone’s lap or curled up on the couch near one of them. Jansim Shot in the Dark (Loki) came to live with Tony and Beth in 2013, and, of course, she joined the grouse hunting tradition with enthusiasm. She flushed her first grouse as a puppy, but in 2017, she is reaching a mature age when her domestic traits are well established and her hunting skills are ready to blossom. Gremlin retired before Loki was able to go in the field, but, totally blind at 14, he accompanied the family to the woods in a small carriage. He whined and barked when he heard the shotgun blast and wouldn’t settle until he had the grouse in front of him. Now, without Gremlin to accompany them, Tony is training Loki without the help of a canine mentor.
Grouse are birds of the deep woods who usually stay tucked into bushes or other cover. During the hunting season, they are found sitting on the ground where they are well camouflaged by their beautiful earth-tone colored plumage. When a grouse is disturbed, it flushes with a lot of flight sounds and settles into a new location nearby. It is wickedly hard to hunt grouse without a dog, and it is a great responsibility for the canine partner to locate and flush for the hunter. Once flushed, a good shot and the grouse comes home for dinner. This October, the season was right, and Loki has begun hunting in earnest. She is already well on her way to becoming half of a great grouse team.

Tony and Beth conspired to give Loki a chance to find grouse at a campground. It made a good photo, but, unfortunately, Loki was too excited to actually see them behind her.
Tony’s own words paint a picture of Loki’s later true introduction and early successes this fall. “Since that campground incident, I have been out hunting with Loki several times and we were able to bring some grouse home with us. Although I usually had her on a flexi-leash in early hunts, last week I tried her off leash and she needed to be called back only a few times when she was getting more than 10 feet away from me. We were walking down a narrow road, with her ahead of me, when I noticed her sniffing the ground. She moved about 10 feet into the brush to flush a grouse! That one flew a long distance, but she flushed a second one that we were able to get. Since the grouse were about 20 feet off the road where we were walking, it is very unlikely that I would have been aware of them without Loki picking up their scent and flushing them from the brush. Later that day, we flushed a hidden grouse that was about 15 feet off a road. A grouse makes a lot of noise as it takes off from the ground. She took off after it when she heard the sounds. She went to the area where I saw the grouse take off and moved around with her nose to the ground. She did the same thing a while later when we flushed another one from a distance. Although these grouse likely did not see us, they may have heard us and they flew to escape. I can teach her some things and others she will learn from experience. She has now learned the noise of a grouse taking off and reacts to it! That’s a big step toward her future as a grouse dog! A few days later, we were out hunting again and saw
32
TerrierGroup.org
three grouse in all. The first two flushed before we even saw them, and she reacted to one of them flying away. Near the end of the day when we were about 5 minutes away from the truck, I saw Loki with her nose to the ground as she walked into the brush. As I watched her, I noticed a grouse about 20 feet away that was creeping further away from us as Loki moved towards it. I was pleased to see her following the grouse’s trail. She found it while she was on the run and flushed the grouse all by herself! The grouse did not fly far, and I was able to get it for her. I was really impressed to see her follow the grouse’s trail and track it down so early in her training. Although she has been inconsistent by showing interest in hunting at times and other times seeming uninterested, she has made a lot of progress over the past few days. After we returned home from that last long hunt, she spent most of the time resting and sleeping. Loki has very big paws to fill since both Gizmo and Gremlin have set the bar very high for her!”
Border Terriers have a notable history as hunting dogs. They can adapt to nearly any kind of pursuit and Gizmo, Gremlin, Loki, Tony, and Beth together provide a great example of how modern terriers still have the potential to measure up in that realm. These three Canadian dogs have long, multi-titled pedigrees going through generations of distinguished Canadian dogs back to British and American dogs of the 1970s who proved themselves in the field as well as the show ring and many other venues. It’s good to see them still in the field!

The English White Terrier The English White Terrier, a breed no longer in existence, originated around the mid-1800s. The Kennel Club Stud Book was published in 1874 and at that time there were 54 registrations for the breed. Although entries dropped some in the following years the breed continued to be shown and at the larger shows in the late 1800s entries could be as high as 20. By 1894 there were only 27 registered in the Stud Book. The last recorded champion was made up in 1908, Ch. Morning Star, owned by a Mr. Ballantyne. The English White Terrier was a close relative to the Manchester Terrier and like the Manchester, he was the product of an urban environment and there was undoubtedly, early on, cross breeding between the two breeds. Breeders were looking for an elegant, 14 pound, clean cut terrier-like dog. It was also likely that there was inbreeding between the small Fox Terrier, the small Bull Terrier and the white Italian Greyhound. James Hicks, the well-known Bull Terrier breeder from Birmingham, used the breed to improve the quality of the white Bull Terrier. The breeders of the white English terrier wanted a pure, opaque white dog with no sign of pink or yellow tinges, including a good coat with black points. The problems were that the dog had a tendency to be delicate, often deaf and 36
TerrierGroup.org
also lacked pigmentation. One of the early winners was deaf but because of its many merits he was used often at stud and inbred many times. Cropped ears were banned in the UK in 1898 and the breed saw a rapid decline after that. Some had blamed the cropped ears for the deafness in the breed, however in later times it is known that genetic deafness is not uncommon in breeds that have white pigmentation.
The English White Terrier existed for only sixty to seventy years. Rawdon Lee wrote in 1903 that the White English Terrier was perhaps the least hardy of all of the terriers. However, he noted that with the founding of a breed club in the early 1890s the entry at the Liverpool show was “certainly the best collection of WT’s I had seen brought together in many years.” Lee noted that for forty years or so this was a distinct breed. “He’s a nice house dog, is smart and perky in his demeanour and conduct, requires a considerable amount of coddling and care and so in the early days he was a favorite with the working man dog fancier of the large towns, who showed him in the bar parlours. Lee thought that the breed was the equal of any other dog. Lee continued, “Now that cropping is thoroughly done away with, one great
drawback to his becoming a fashionable favourite has been removed; still, however, the elegance and purity of his white coat may fill the eye, he is by no means a hardy dog.” Lee finishes, “While regretting extremely the decay of the white English terrier, I am afraid they must bow to the inevitable, and give place to dogs better suited to the wants and conveniences of the present day than they unfortunately are.” E. F. Burns, in The American Book of the Dog, wrote in 1891, “Idstone” says The English smooth coated Terrier is a dog seldom seen except in the possession of dog traders and “fanciers,” as they call themselves, being bred for show more than for use. Ten or twelve years ago it was at most of our dog shows, and the breed commanded considerable attention, especially when the dog had plenty of courage and intelligence; but this was the exception, As a rule, the show Terrier is not a hardy nor a courageous dog. Most of his life has been passed in a highly varnished mahogany kennel by bar-parlor fire, or in the arms of some opulent or quasi-opulent dog breeder, whose chief vocation is to show his “stud” of Terriers for cups and collars.”
Although the breed was very popular in the U.K. it was not well known in the United States. White Prince was imported to the U.S. in 1888, owned by the above E. F. Burns. Before being imported to America he won eight special prizes and Mr. Burns noted that he was one of the best representatives of an English White terrier in the U.S. So there it is – the story of the English White Terrier. And it is a rather sad story. Even though he was only around for sixty or so years, he did have an impact upon several terrier breeds SOURCES: Horner, Tom, Terriers of the World, Farber and Farber, New York, 1984 Lee, Rawdon, Modern Dogs (Terriers), Horace Cox, London, 1903 Matheson, Darley, Terriers, E.

With the record number of 24,692 total entries, the World Dog Show in Leipzig was not just the biggest dog show in the world, but the largest that has ever been held in the history of the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI). That record had previously been held by the World Dog Show in Paris with 21,588 entries. The VDH (Deutsche Hundeweson) is well used to organizing major events; this is the seventh World Dog Show to have been held in Germany since 1935. The Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) assigns the World Dog Show to a different member country each year. The 2017 edition of the show was originally set to take place in Ecuador, but that plan had to be abandoned after the earthquake in 2016. The VDH stepped into the breach and had just about sixteen months to organize the World Dog Show. Until now, the following World Dog Shows were carried out by VDH: - 1935 – Frankfurt (3311 dogs) - 1956 – Dortmund (3657 dogs) - 1973 – Dortmund (5050 dogs) - 1982 – Dortmund (8850 dogs) - 1991 – Dortmund (13427dogs) - 2003 – Dortmund (18716 dogs)

In addition to the World Dog Show, the VDH has also organized other events at the Leipzig Trade Fair. This year it all started on November 8th with the German Winner Show, with 6423 dog entered for the show; 110 dogs were competing in the Dog Dancing World Championships in the Heelwork to Music and Freestyle categories. The German Agility Championships, with over 350 competitors, and the European Dog Diving Championships were also held, and of course, Junior Handling World Championship.

A Look at Books
BEST IN SHOW: The Dog in Art from the Renaissance to Today Edgar Peters Bowron, Yale University Press in association with the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, 2006
This is actually a catalogue of an exhibition that was held at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston in 2006, organized by Edgar Peters Bowron and Peter C. Sutton. This is a beautiful, full color book with 120 illustrations. Chapters, including essays, are Dogs in Renaissance and Baroque Painting, Sculpture from the Royal Hunt to the Taxidermist, and the Purebred Dog in Art, 18th and 19th Centuries. Dogs have been present in high society since the Middle Ages and, of course, the hunting dogs have been found for centuries throughout civilization. This book shows the dog at his best – in the field working the hunt and in the lap of luxury enjoying the best of life. This is a good sized book, 9” x 12” and 160 pages in length and it appeared as a catalog of the Houston exhibition. This was the most extensive exhibition to date of the dog from the Renaissance to the present. I must have purchased my copy when the book first came out as it is hard bound with a dust jacket. On the internet you can find many copies but most of them are paperback and I would guess that the color may be lost on some
42
TerrierGroup.org
of the photos in those editions. Prices vary wildly, from $7 and up for the paperback, to $20 and up for a hard bound, used edition.
If ordering, be sure to watch where the book is shipped from as shipping costs will vary depending if it comes from the UK or the USA.
A worthwhile addition to any bookshelf.
