FROM THE PRESIDENT WAYNE FLEMING I recently attended a Special Board Meeting of the ANKC where some important decisions were made.

At the June 2018 Board meeting a decision was made to introduce compulsory DNA parentage testing in 2020.

Since then a lot of discussion has taken place about the implementation of such a program without an agreed process and the fact that some parts of the regulation relating to DNA parentage testing were unworkable.

The ANKC Canine Health and Wellbeing Committee recently met and discussed this topic at length and made the following recommendation to the ANKC board in June this year:

Another important project currently being undertaken by the working party of the ANKC is a total review of the ANKC database. The current system is considered to be antiquated and in need of replacement, with reviews conducted since 2017. Dogs Victoria has taken a lead role in forcing the ANKC to finally make a decision on the replacement of this system. The ANKC Directors met with the working party over a two day workshop on 27 and 28 July.

The shows review working party is another ANKC group performing a task which I think all members involved in conformation exhibiting will be happy to see. This group is undertaking a mammoth task of reviewing all member body show regulations with a view to developing a national set of show regulations.

“That the committee recommends for a working party to be established to look at a staged implementation of parentage DNA profiling with the working party to comprise of the following members: Dr Karen Hedberg, Ms Sylvia Power, Professor Claire Wade and a Dogs Queensland representative to be confirmed.”

LIFE MEMBERSHIP but he did not stop his involvement in the training scheme, joining as a group leader and as a tester.

He continues to mentor trainees at shows, and also present breed lectures - in Victoria and interstate.

Andrew has chosen to no longer exhibit dogs, but continues his involvement by acting as a steward and show manager at various breed and all breeds shows.

As Chairman of the RASV Dog Section Committee, he strives to promote Dogs Victoria in the larger public arena, and also to emphasize the importance of Dogs Victoria as the first contact for those seeking a purebred dog to join their family.

Congratulations on being awarded Life Membership of Dogs Victoria, Andrew Burt.

Joining Dogs Victoria (Kennel Control Council as it was then) as a teenager, Andrew started his involvement with Bullmastiffs, and was successful in the show ring. Much later on, he also became involved with Shiba Inu, and again has bred winners in this charming breed.

Club involvement was a natural progression for Andrew, and he served on the committees of Junior Kennel Club, Bullmastiff Club, Melbourne Dog Club and the Classic Dog Show Committee (still ongoing). His service to the Bullmastiff Club resulted in him being awarded Life Membership of that club.

RETRIEVING AND FIELD TRIALS

R AFT NOTES WR IT TE N BY: DIAN E MCC ANN It is getting to that time of the year when each Australian state conducts a State Retrieving Trial Championship and there is one National Retrieving Trial Championship conducted in rotation around the states.

Under the Rules for the Conduct of Retrieving Trials for Gundogs each state has the ability to conduct one State Championship each calendar year. In addition, one state can conduct a National Championship which is moved around the states on an annual basis. This year the National Retrieving Trial Championship is being conducted in Tasmania which is the second time that Tasmania has conducted the National Championship.

A Championship Stake is a Stake confined to Gundogs that have been placed first in a Restricted Stake or first, second or third in an All Age Stake or have the title All Age Retrieving Dog (AARD). A Championship Stake shall consist of not less than five (5) Runs, with at least thirteen (13) items of game to be retrieved. At least two (2) Blind Find Retrieves are to be included. A dog must be tested for steadiness from behind a Hide at least twice. At least eight bona fide competitors are required to conduct a state championship with at least six handlers A National Championship Stake shall consist of not less than eight (8) Runs with at least seventeen (17) items of game to be retrieved. At least two (2) Blind Find Retrieves are to be included and a dog must be tested for steadiness from behind a Hide on at least two (2) occasions. A National Championship requires at least 12 competitors and eight handlers.

Last year’s National Championship had close to 50 competing dogs. It was conducted over three days, was held in Alexandra Victoria and was judged by Noel and Kate Eltringham of Victoria.

State Championships and National Championships are the pinnacle of retrieving competitions and attract competitors from all around Australia. In fact, many competitors travel around from state to state competing in the Championships before ending up in the state that is hosting the national.

It is the attraction of being able to compete against the country’s best dogs and handlers, as well as the ability to make new friends and renew acquaintances that 6

Dogs Victoria | August 2019

keeps everyone coming back. In recent years dogs from Victoria have been the top performing dogs in both State and National Championships with Victorian dogs winning eight of the last ten National Retrieving Trial Championships.

If you are interested in seeing great retrievers showing just how good that they can be the we highly recommend that you come along to a national or a state championship retrieving trial, spectators always welcome and catered for.

OBEDIENCE, TRACKING & ENDURANCE

OTEC NOTES WR IT TE N BY: DAWN HOWAR D At KCC Park in June, the Border Collie Club of Victoria and the Working Dog Club of Victoria combined to hold two very successful Obedience and Rally Obedience trials. Congratulations to Noeline McIlroy who led these trials.

The June long weekend is always a busy weekend in Victoria. In Gippsland we have an obedience extravaganza with three days of Obedience and Rally Obedience in three different locations by three different clubs, Bairnsdale Obedience Dog Club, East Gippsland Obedience Dog Club and Gippsland Obedience Dog Club. Always a highlight in the Victorian calendar.

This year was no exception. Lots of entries and good results. Wonderful initiative by those clubs so many years ago. I am very proud to be a foundation member of Bairnsdale ODC, and of having a small part in the original negotiations. Congratulations to those three clubs!

Same weekend in Ballarat we had the German Shepherd Dog Club of Victoria’s Tracking trial. Fantastic weekend with lots of laughs, lots of food, and lots of passes.

One of the many highlights of the weekend was a German Shepherd Dog owned by A & F Henderson, K & R Knuckey, G Bobbin and J Cathie – Ch Sensen Mann Yokon CD TDX ET (Imp Deu), handled by Greg Bobbin, who gained his Australian Tracking Champion title. This dog was originally trained in Germany for Conformation, Obedience and Tracking. He is one of the very rare top conformation dogs who have been imported into this country, who have been able to use their original training to successfully convert to our local rules.

Congratulations to his owners for their dedication. It is a major transition, believe me.

Then there was the Hastings ODC, double Obedience and Rally Obedience trial. Some very good results there as well.

Also, in June the Tracking Club of Victoria held a Track and Search trial which attracted 80 entries. This trial was based at KCC Park, which is an ideal base camp and the surrounding housing estates are very suitable to the discipline. Congratulations to the many successful teams.

Earlier in June we had the OTEC Obedience and Rally Obedience Trainee Practical assessments. www.dogsvictoria.org.au

Huge congratulations to our OTEC trainee judges.

• UDX: Dearne Jackson • UD: Lisa Sinclair • Open: Merrae Balaam • CCD: Maribeth Murphy • Rally Obedience: Michael Hayes.

That makes Dearne a full panel Judge. She can now judge at all levels of Obedience.

New Innovations at the Park Thank you to the volunteers from the KCC Park facilities committee for the three new secure dog pens. These are welcome additions and the dogs love running up and down together. Thank you to the Whippet Club for the funding. Also, the renovated virtually new picnic gazebos, that will be great for summer. Please help when the volunteers’ days are announced as this is our Park we use it!

On a more serious note Tracking competitors please note the requirements under the 30-day rule. If you have two successive fails, you should inform the trial secretary when you enter the next trial. If there is a need for a ballot, entries affected by the 30-day rule are excluded before the ballot is held.

Happy training and trialling.

OUTSTANDING CANINE CONTRIBUTUION AWARD 2019

REVEIRTER SORRENTO BEACH OWN E D BY: TESSA STOW

In September 2017, Reveirter Sorrento Beach ‘Coop’ became the first dog in Australia to work as a fully trained legal facility dog.

Her role at the Office of Public Prosecutions (where she works two days a week) is to accompany victims and witnesses as they give their evidence in matters being heard at the Magistrates Court, the County Court and the Supreme Court.

Not only does Coop help to relax and calm people, she is trained to intervene if someone shows increased signs of stress (if someone starts to cry, Coop will place her paw or her head on their lap). This helps to ground and refocus people so they can continue giving their evidence.

The results have been outstanding. Victims and witnesses constantly say how amazing Coop was and 8

Dogs Victoria | August 2019

how calming it was to have her with them. It has also been found that because stress levels are reduced, people are able to give their evidence more easily, more coherently and more quickly. This is backed up by feedback from solicitors who expected the victim to take a lot longer to give their evidence than they actually did.

Coop is not only helping to reduce the trauma of the court experience for victims and witnesses, she is helping to facilitate the legal process.

Coop has worked on over 60 court matters and has supported over 120 people (adults and children) as they give their evidence.

Congratulations to Coop on being awarded the VCA Canine Outstanding Contribution Award.

CONFORMATION

CONFORMATION CORNER WR IT TE N BY: JASON MOOR E

Hello and welcome to the August edition of the Conformation Corner!

Shows across August Once again, it’s another busy month of shows ahead with many shows to be held at KCC Park. Additionally, there will be shows held regionally across Victoria; including Bendigo, Horsham, Hamilton and Sale/Maffra.

I wish you all the best of luck and hope you have a pleasant time showing.

August is usually a busy month for our hobby, with plenty of circuit weekends and country weekends, mixing both Local, Interstate and International judges, it gives us a plethora of options. Additionally, more exhibitors normally come out for these shows to give their dogs a practice run before the Royal Show Season commences in September.

Conformation Judges Practical exams During August, numerous trainee judges will nervously sitting their Practical Judges Exam for their ANKC accreditation. I know how difficult this endeavour is, as I am currently studying for my Group 6 ‘Utility’ and it’s not easy. Most of these trainees have spent at least 2 years studying these respective groups and have put in a lot of time and effort. Congratulations to all those that have passed, as you deserve all the reward for your effort.

Commiserations to those that are unsuccessful; just roll up your sleeves and try again this year!

Why we show our dogs?

Recently at shows, I’ve spoken to a few exhibitors who have claimed that the main reason for showing their dog is to ensure that another dog doesn’t win. Now, when and where we show our dogs is at the discretion of the owner, however, I do implore my fellow exhibitors to remember why we show our dogs. It shouldn’t just be about winning that counts, but it’s about the bond we share with our dogs. It doesn’t matter if we don’t win at a show, what matters, is that you enjoyed your day out with your dog. Whilst we all get a thrill when a judge acknowledges one of our dogs with a prize, it is not the be all and end all.

It didn’t matter that you won or lost, but that you gained recognition and respect by the opposing breeders in your breed.

These days, the focus has shifted from assessing breeding stock to winning a prize for many exhibitors.

Whilst I will admit that I personally enjoy receiving awards and recognition for the dogs I exhibit, I treasure and appreciate these awards. Therefore, I just want to remind exhibitors of why we show our own dogs. It’s not because we want to beat someone else, it should be to celebrate your own dog.

Camping At Dog Shows It’s always great to be able to attend circuit weekends, whether these are at KCC Park, Bulla or regionally, it gives us a chance to show our dogs across multiple days in the one place. I just want to remind exhibitors who choose to camp at said grounds that they need to make a booking and pay their camp fee. At the end of the day, you’re only cheating yourself as these site fees can go towards improving our camping facilities at all the venues we host our dog shows at.

Therefore, please do the right thing and pay your site fee.

Thanks once again for reading this month’s article, if you have any similar stories or views to share with me, then I would be more than happy to cover it.

Until next time.

Originally, dog shows were held for numerous breeders to assess each other’s Stud Dogs and for you to display your best bitches to highlight the quality of your kennel. www.dogsvictoria.org.au

FROM THE VET

MEGAESOPHAGUS the frequency and timing of the regurgitation after ingesting a meal. In the case of puppies with congenital megaesophagus, the regurgitation often commences upon first weaned onto solid foods. In the case of dogs having a long starting megaesophagus they often have a secondary weight loss and emaciation.

The most common complication to be seen with megaesophagus is aspiration pneumonia. In such cases dogs may experience respiratory diseases, a fever and a cough.

What is it and how is it caused?

Megaesophagus occurs where there is a diffuse enlargement and a lack of contraction of the esophagus.

The condition occasionally occurs as a congenital disorder, or it occurs in adult dogs as an acquired defect or more commonly due to an unknown cause.

With respect to congenital causes of megaesophagus a “family” predisposition has been suggested for German Shepherd, Irish Setter, Great Dane, Labrador Retriever, Fox Terrier, Newfoundland, Shar Pei and Miniature Schnauzers. The cause of this congenital abnormality is not well understood but is thought to involve a defect of the vagal nerves incretions of the esophagus.

In the case of “idiopathic” megaesophagus as the functional responses of the upper and lower esophageal, splinters remain intact and a defect on the nerve pathway osmometers and esophageal distension is suspected.

Acquired secondary megaesophagus can result from many disorders, infectious diseases causing diffuse neuromuscular dysfunctions. A condition known as Thyropterid Gravis accounts for at least, 25 percent of these causes. Other causes include foreign bodies, esophagus structure, vascular anomalies and esophagitis.

What signs so affected dogs show?

Regurgitation is the characteristic sign associated with megaesophagus. There is considerable variability in 10

Dogs Victoria | August 2019

How are cases diagnosed?

Megaesophagus should be expected in any adult dog that has a history of regurgitation. Radiographs taken of the neck and throat often revel the presence of a diluted airway, fluid or food filled esophagus. This can be confirmed doing a barium study. Where respiration pneumonia is present this will also show up on the survey x-rays.

Routine blood testing and analysis of a urine sample should be performed to screen for acquired cases of megaesophagus. An ordylcholine receptor antibody titer should also be performed and evaluate for Mydaleine Gravis as an underlying cause, even in cases where there is no signs of generalised muscle weakness because myasthenia gravis maymmic megaesophagus.

How are cases treated?

Animals with an acquired megaesophagus are treated specifically for the disorder causing the abnormal esophageal function. Where affected dogs fail to respond to specific medical treatment, or in cases of idiopathic megaesophagus treatment is primarily supportive and symptomatic. Affected dogs should be fed small frequent meals from an elevated position to assist passage of the food into the stomach. Drugs that improve motility of the esophagus are presently of unproven benefit in cases of idiopathic megaesophagus.

In cases of congenital megaesophagus, some cases may improve over a period of months. The progress for acquired megaesophagus is usually fewer or with many cases succumbing to repeated periods of aspiration pneumonia. Dogs with acquired mydaleine gravis in which approximately 50 percent respond to supportive treatment.
