DV APRIL Magazine & Gazette 2025 by Dogs Victoria

President’s Report

Congratulations to all those who competed in the Dog and Puppy of the Year at Dogs Victoria Night of Nights, just by being eligible to be there makes you a winner. Special congratulations to the overall winners, the Border Collie who was Dog of the Year and the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen on taking out Puppy of the Year. I would like to pay special thanks to the small group of people who worked so hard to make the night such a success.

This is also a good time to wish all the best to Jarrod and Ashlee who are taking their Border Collie to the world show in Helsinki to represent Australia as the country’s top dog in the world challenge.

Wasn’t it easy to renew you membership online for the first time this year. The extremely positive feedback we have received from members has reinforced the management decision to move in this direction. The best thing is that it will provide us with a list of those who chose not to renew their membership so we can follow up and determine the reason.

We continue to make improvements at the park to continue our plan to ensure that the jewel of Dogs Victoria remains the best dog area in the country. The latest improvement is not visible as it is installing drainage for area 6, the area immediately behind the Boxhall Pavillion, and top dressing the area.

The usual plea to breeders. If you are selling a pup to a non show home, encourage the new owners to join one of the many performance options with Dogs Victoria.

CRUFTS 2025AUSTRALIAN OWNED DOG IN THE SPOTLIGHT!

The largest stand alone dog show in the world – Crufts 2025, continued the tradition of excellence, with an entry of over 18,500 dogs (24,000 entries) competing in conformation, agility and obedience over the four days.

Here in Australia, we are a long way away from being able to easily compete, however, over recent years, some dedicated exhibitors have made the journey to participate in the excitement that is Crufts. It is interesting to note in past years, it has been Hound exhibits – Afghan Hounds come to mind.

This year, the Borzoi, Am Gr Ch Gold, UK Ch, Ch Elista’s Cross My Heart (Imp USA) was entered and to the delight of those Aussies in the crowd watching, was awarded Best of Breed (122 Borzois entered), and then was selected in the final cut for the Hound group (3000 dogs). The watching crowd cheered and clapped in true “Aussie” style.

“Kohl” is owned by Kay Sneath (Australia), and co-owned with his breeder Judy Carleton (Canada), and Christina Hart and Rick Martin (USA), and presented by Gerald Munro.

Kay was ringside watching nervously, but the delight she experienced when judge Jeff Horswell handed the BOB award to Gerald and “Kohl” soon was evident to all present.

Congratulation to all connections!

Breed Spotlight - Borzoi

Brief History

The Borzoi, commonly called the Russian Wolfhound, is a very old breed which has been part of the Russian history and culture for many hundreds of years. Large numbers were bred and kept by the Russian nobility for hunting wolves, fox and other game for sport by the aristocracy. Hunts were large events and often based on several days in residence at country hunting lodges and would have up to 100 Borzoi followed by mounted huntsmen and many followers. The Borzoi were highly prized and valuable, and only given to outsiders as a huge honour. These big and spectacular times have passed, but the Borzoi retains his aristocratic heritage and nobility.

General Breed Description

The Borzoi is a very beautiful and aristocratic, large hound, streamlined, graceful and elegant, powerful and incredibly fast with a long, distinctive head. Their historic background in large kennels and hunting gives them good social interaction with other dogs and people. They retain a strong hunting instinct and are an active and very athletic hound. They can make lovely house companions. Obedience training is recommended. All colours are permissible with the exception of merle.

Coat and Care Requirements

The coat is silky, of moderate length and with significant undercoat. Regular weekly brushing is essential, particularly in summer when Borzoi shed heavily. Borzoi need a moderate amount of exercise. A very large yard is not necessary, provided they are walked several times each week and have the opportunity to run regularly.

Suitability

With proper training these large, graceful hounds make excellent family/housedogs and are generally good with other dogs, but any small animal that runs across a Borzoi’s line of sight may trigger a chase response. If raised with children they usually make good companions, but do not readily tolerate the rough and tumble of a young child. As with all dogs, young children and pets should always be supervised when together.

Health

All breeds have individual health issues. When speaking to breeders it is recommended you enquire about breed’s health and what health testing the breeder does. In general Borzoi are healthy dogs, but as with many large breeds they can suffer from bloat and gastric torsion. Although rare, hip and shoulder dysplasia can occur and Osteochondritis Dissecans (OCD), Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA), and Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) are occasionally found. Borzoi are sensitive to anaesthetics.

Temperament

Sensitive, alert, aloof and dignified. Borzoi are very independent, proud and self-aware. They are sweet and undemanding, loyal and affectionate, will protect their family if necessary but may be wary of strangers. They are intelligent and can learn quickly if interested and can have a humorous streak.

Breed Spotlight - Borzoi

Size

Height:

Males minimum 74cms (29ins)

Quick Facts

• The Borzoi is a sighthound breed

• The Borzoi breed originated with the crossing of Arabian Greyhounds and a thick coated Russian breed

• Borzoi training is best achieved with patience, consistency and good humour

• The Borzoi is one of the tallest sighthound breeds in existence, second only to the Irish Wolfhound

• Being relatively rare and glamorous, the Borzoi has enjoyed time as a status symbol, with this long legged, graceful breed being seen with movie stars of the art deco period such as Jean Harlow and Sarah Bernhardt

Average Life Span

When considering a dog please realise that you are taking it on for its lifetime.

The average life span is 10 to 12 years.

Dogs Australia Activities

• Conformation Shows

• Obedience

• Rally

• Agility

• Lure Coursing

In Conclusion

Now you know a little more about this breed. If you have decided this is the dog for you and wish to investigate further, please contact the breed club or Dogs Victoria. They will be able to give you information about available puppies and also suggest dog events where you can see the breed and speak to breeders. In this way you will gain a better perspective of the breed and its needs. With any breed of dog, it is important to research and determine suitability for your lifestyle before committing to a puppy which will be a part of your family for many years to come.

Whilst many breeds are recommended for families, it is imperative that when children are with dogs they are supervised at all times. Basic obedience training is a vital part of dog ownership.

Dogs Victoria is about the responsible ownership of all dogs and in particular the preservation of pure breeds.

KCC PARK FACILITIES COMMITTEE

We have had an extremely busy month at KCC Park running of multiple projects and working with multiple trades.

Our new sprintdog track was completed on time, with final top dressing under the new fence before the first trial which was a huge success.

February working bee – Night of Nights set up –Thank you to our facilities committee and Night of Night volunteers who attended on Friday 28 February 2025 to set up the event. Work was completed by 12 noon, and looked amazing. A big pat on the back to everyone who assisted. All the amazing flowers in tubs were provided by a member of our committee, and the event was a huge success. Congratulations to all the winners.

Our next working bees are on the following dates

Wednesday 2 April 2025 – tidy up grounds/pavilion

Wednesday 14 May 2025 – tidy up grounds

Time: 9:00 am to 11:00 am followed by refreshments

We are still in the throws of organising a weekend working bee, from requests from multiple members.

Connection to mains sewerage – This is a major project for KCC Park. A civil engineering company has been engaged to manage the design of a sewerage connection under Westernport Highway, and oversee the tender process to have a distribution pit installed on our boundary connecting to the line across the highway. A permit has been applied to South Eastern Water to kick off the design process. This will enable additional toilets, and shower blocks to be installed on the grounds.

Drainage of area six – This project was approved by Management Committee three years ago but placed on hold due to other priority projects. At the December Strategy Planning meeting it was agreed this become a priority project. Further quotes were obtained, and the successful drainage contractor started work in February and work should be completed six to eight weeks from the start date. There has been a lot of large equipment used on this project, which has closed this area for member access. This company is a specialist in drainage of sports ovals. Donations have also been requested from affiliates to fund top dressing of this area once the drains are installed. It was also decided to remove the mound adjoining the northern carpark on area six. Many hours was spent by our facility committee members on this project, including identifying all the sprinkler heads on area six which is fully irrigated. Once completed, this will provide our members and affiliates with a new first class event area which can be used all year round, the main users being our dog sports. This is a very exciting project for KCC Park.

FYI area six is the area on the eastern side of the pavilion from the earthdog area to the northern car park – past the GSD and Westernport rooms.

Camping booking system – Bookings for camping are now being made via Show Manager, signs for each site have now been printed, and installed.

Area one and two lights – Three lights have been broken for some time, and over the past few months we have specialists attend the site to investigate the feasibility of upgrading to LED lights. The investigation revealed that

due to the low use of both areas under lights, area two alone – four light towers would cost around $25,000 to upgrade and would have a pay back period of over 21 years. Area one, would cost more than double that, and has a lot lower use of area two, and the payback period was even worse. Unfortunately, no grants are available to assist with the upgrade. At the February finance meeting, it was agreed we repair the currently broken lights and continue to fix on fail until such time we receive either grants, or donations of funds towards the upgrade to LED. Some affiliates have also queried the host of hiring the lights. It should be noted that we have some of the cheapest light hire rates for our event areas compared to other venues.

West End – Over the past months the Dogs Victoria office, KCC Park Facility Committee and our planners have been working to finalise the drainage design to the satisfaction of our western neighbour. At the VCAT conference in February the matter was settled, and a permit for the West End has been issued. A kick off meeting has been held for works to commence to satisfy the requirements of the permit. This is another major milestone project for Dogs Victoria, further updates will be provided as works progress. FYI the west end covers an area of around 25 acres.

Friends of the Park Rose and Protea shows – The schedule for our two shows on Friday 18th July has been submitted to the office. We are also running our monster cart raffle with multiple prizes once again. If you have any items to donate for the raffle, please contact me.

Site maintenance – Our site is used daily by members, and regular maintenance is undertaken. We have recently had approval to replace the doors on the Classic Building first aid room which are the original doors and in poor condition. Also the member donation plaques that were in the original Crowley Room, which were removed when the Dogs Victoria office was relocated from the showgrounds, were retrieved from storage and have been installed on the Lyndhurst room.

Lyndhurst room – We recently polished the floor of our function room. We are still seeking donations to replace the dividing wall in the room, and replace the doors and windows on the eastern wall.

Member behavior – It is extremely disappointing to see our members driving too fast around the grounds (we do have a 10 KPH limit), not putting rubbish in bins, and not picking up dog droppings!! We also have issues of people without permits parking in disabled parking spots. This is a member facility for use by the members. So please show some respect when using it.

Future member projects/bequests/donations – We are always happy to discuss any proposals with you to improve member amenities on the grounds. We also need more funds, if you can assist, please speak to us

We spend a lot of hours on the site for the betterment of our dogs and our members. Volunteers WELCOME! If you would like to come enjoy an hour or two helping at our monthly working bees, please contact me 0428 983 703 or email kccfacility@dogsvictoria.org.au

BULLA FACILITIES COMMITTEE

Dogs Victoria Buddies of Bulla Facebook group – We would love to welcome new members to this group. Please register at this site if you are available to help us, it is also where we post dates and times of our working bees.

Grounds – Trees trimmed: Contactors have trimmed low hanging branches along the gravel carpark, along group seven and three rings and in the camping areas. Trimmings have been mulched and will be spread back on the gardens.

Secretary’s office – Clubs are reminded to empty their rubbish bins into the wheely bins outside, turn off the air conditioner and the instant hot water each day before they leave. Please also breakdown and place any cardboard items in the recycle bin behind this office.

Check list at the conclusion of your show – We often have doors left unlocked or lights, hot water heaters and air conditioners etc left on. Bulla Facilities Committee have re-written the check list for clubs to follow at the conclusion of each show. Please follow this and ensure nothing is left unlocked or on.

AGILITY NOTES

Unleashing the fun of dog agility in Victoria

Dog agility is a fast growing sport in Victoria which is readily captivating dog lovers and competitive handlers alike. It is a timed event in which handlers direct their dogs through a course of jumps, tunnels and other obstacles. The sport is open to all breeds and sizes, making it an inclusive and rewarding activity.

The agility scene in Victoria

Victoria boasts a thriving agility community, with clubs and competitions held throughout the year. The state is home to numerous agility clubs affiliated with Dogs Victoria. These clubs provide training sessions for beginners and seasoned competitors, fostering a supportive environment for all participants.

Getting started

For those new to the sport, local agility clubs offer beginner classes where dogs and handlers learn foundational skills. Training covers essential commands, obstacle navigation, and handler positioning. Many clubs also offer fun runs and practice sessions, allowing handlers to refine their skills in a non-competitive setting.

Competitive agility in Victoria

Victoria hosts various agility trials throughout the year, from local club events to state championships. These competitions are classified by levels of experience, from novice to masters, allowing teams to progress at their own pace. Trial formats include standard agility courses (with weaves and contact equipment), jumpers courses and games like gamblers and snooker that test strategy as well as speed.

Packing up the rings after a show – If your group is finished at the conclusion of a weekend of showing please assist the committee running the show by winding up the perimeter rope, collecting the “pig tail” stakes and placing them in the green storage boxes at each gazebo. The white corner posts can be left in as the mower operator mows around them.

Camping At Bulla – Individual camping sites are now clearly identified in both of the designated camping areas. All booking is to be done on Show Manager. Please display the acknowledgement form generated by Show Manager in the front or side window of your van or RV.

We are always happy to discuss any possible improvements for Bulla that you might propose. If you have any questions, queries or ideas, please contact the Bulla Facilities Committee via Dogs Victoria.

OTEC NOTES

As I write, apart from individual groups training, there has been no trial activity in Victoria over the summer months. The first specialist rally and obedience trials were on in the long weekend in March and the first open rally and obedience trials were at Southern in March.

But that didn’t stop Victorian rally and obedience people from trialling. A large contingent of Victorians decended on Bermagui as is usual. I just love seeing that sign, “WELCOME TO THE DOGGIES” as you drive into the town. Even though the weather was extremely stormy on some of the obedience nights, there were some fabulous results.

The night I judged UDX, the weather lasted until UDX finished, and then it poured.

My first competitor was Cynthia Toohey. I told her that she had to pass, and she obliged. Unfortunately, no one followed suit. Cynthia’s beautiful Brittany, Dual Ch (O) Riverreed Eliots Ice Queen UD, (Rommie), got 189 in UDX. Cynthia also got a pass in CCD with Sienna with a score of 98.

Liza Powell did an amazing job with her Doberman, Lucah.

R Ch T Ch O Ch TS Gr Ch Monelite Euphoria UD TKA RAE ET SWN

Liza wrote “I thought I’d share that on the weekend we went to Bermagui to compete in obedience and Lucah gained her last pass for UDX under the lovely Kim Houlden with an impressive 200 pts and highest in trial. All three passes have been a first place and highest in trial under judges Gaye Todd and Ross Carlson. Other scores 193 and 196. She was super calm and happy”

Lorraine Holland did well too. She got third place in open with her Australian Shepherd T Ch Pawsitive Elite Performer CCD CD RA with a score of 186 under Gaye Todd and in rally master 85pts under Marianne Fazekas.

Urs Rhyn did a great job to get second place in CCD with his young German Shepherd, Sturmkraft Detour, with a score of 87 and second place, while I got a CCD title with my Golden Retriever, Killara the Energiser Bunny, (Onesie). Her score was 86 and equal third place. Our judge was Lynne Elliot. Onesie also got a respectable 85 in Rally Novice under Dawn Ayton. Dawn Ayton’s Rottweiler Ubersein Pillow Talk (Doris) got a pass in rally excellent.

Great news: 2025 Melbourne Royal Action Dog judges have been announced. On Thursday 25 2025 September there will be two rally trials judged by Tania Schumann and Helen Evans. On Friday 26 September 2025 the obedience trial will be judged by Maribeth Murphy. This is the second time that Maribeth has judged at the Royal. She judged rally there two years ago. On Saturday 27 September 2025 and Sunday 28 September 2025 Simone Tolhurst is going to judge agility, jumping and agility games classes. More details are available on the Melbourne Royal website.

One of the most encouraging events I have attended in a long time, was the Town Hall meeting chaired by our CE Kirk Edwards in January 2025. The thing that most interested me was that our President Peter Frost emphasised that performance sports are the future of Dogs Victoria, and Conformation people need to accept and embrace this. Amongst other things, encouraging pet puppy purchasers to get involved. Obedience, rally and agility are well established. Other sports such as scent work, tricks and sprintdog are fast moving ahead.

Just a note to clarify an issue that arose at a recent Conformation Show. Conformation and Performance are separate.

If I am a judge and you handle my dog at a Conformation show, I can’t judge any of your dogs in Conformation for a period of 12 months. (Regulation 7.5.5)

If I handle your dog at a tracking trial, I can’t judge any of your dogs in a tracking trial for a period of 12 months. (9.1.4.5)

If you handle my dog at a Conformation show, I can still judge your dog at a tracking trial.

Hope that clears up the misunderstanding that happened recently.

SLED SPORTS NOTES

This month sees the start of the sled sports season, with plenty of events in each of the three disciplines on offer over the next six months.

The season gets underway with a weight pull training day being held by the American Staffordshire Terrier Club of Victoria (ASTCV) on Saturday 5 April 2025. The first weight pull competition is being held by the Alaskan Malamute Club, Victoria (AMCV) on Sunday 27 April 2025, and more ASTCV training events are scheduled for Saturday 3 May and Saturday 17 May 2025. These events are all being held at KCC Park and are open to all dogs.

For those interested in trying out sledding, the Siberian Husky Club of Victoria (SHCV) is holding a sledding workshop on Saturday 26 April 2025 at Knowsley State Forest, around 15 minutes north-west of Heathcote on the McIvor Highway. Camping is available at this event for those who want to make it a weekend away with their dogs.

On the following Sunday 4 May 2025, the AMCV will be holding their activities introduction day at the You Yangs Western Plantation (near Little River) which mainly focusses on sledding, but there will also be backpacking and weight pull information and equipment available. These introduction and training events welcome nonmembers and all breeds, and no pre-entry is required so you can just come along on the day. They provide an ideal opportunity to find out more about what’s involved, what

equipment is required and, most importantly, have a go with your dog!

The first backpacking event for the year is being held by the ASTCV on Saturday 10 May 2025 at Panton Hill, and is a qualifying event for the working pack dog titles – preentry is required. This trail has a few hills and some steeper sections, so it is important that anyone attempting this hike has done some training in hilly terrain with their dog.

Sled dog racing kicks off for the year with races being held by the AMCV in the Knowsley State Forest on the weekend of Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 May 2025. There are separate races on each day which are open to all dogs, non-members and novices, so you can come along for just one of the days or both. The SHCV have their first sled dog race on the following Saturday 24 May 2025 at the same venue, and on-site camping is available on both weekends.

There are many more sled sports events scheduled over the next few months, and most will be advertised on the two Facebook groups for the Dogs Victoria sled sports, “Victorian DV Weight Pull & Back Packing” and “Dryland DV Affiliated Sledding”.

Some events are still subject to approvals and permits, so please check Facebook for updates or contact the affiliates conducting the events if you are interested.

RAFT NOTES

RAFT activities for 2025 are commencing, we have had three weekends of retrieving trials commencing the January long weekend followed by two in February. All activities in both field and retrieving after a short hiatus will be recommencing in April.

The Gippsland Retrieving Club will be running the next trial which is the biggest club trial for retrieving nationally over the Easter weekend, this sees Judges and triallers from around the country come to the Gippsland region to compete over three days in all stakes, novice, restricted and all age. We are fortunate to have access to field and game Australia’s property Hearts Morass which allows for a huge contingent of competitors to camp on site. It becomes a large social event with catered dinners, fun competitions and more importantly an Easter Egg hunt for the children.

Extreme Weather Retrieving and Field

At the last trial a situation arose that had not previously been encountered, the area that the trial was being held in was declared a Total Fire Ban which under Dogs Victoria Regulation 3.5.20.4.4 https://www.dogsvictoria.org. au/.../241215-regulations.pdf which overrides the RAFT Heat Policy 10.2.27 https://dogsvictoria.org.au/.../241015extreme-weather... As per Regulation 3.5.20.4.4 the trial was unfortunately cancelled.

It is extremely important that clubs, trial secretaries and competitors make themselves aware of the policies in place they do not just cover heat and fire danger they also encompass the following:

• Hot weather

• Fire danger

• Gale force winds and thunderstorms

• Flooding

• Extreme cold and ice

New and Elevated Judges

One of the requirements of RAFT is to manage members (meeting the relevant criteria) to be added to the Judges Training Scheme and the elevation of existing judges. We are extremely pleased to advise that the following Dogs Victoria members that have been assessed and accepted as Judges:

Mr Colin Phipps - RATG Novice and Open

Mr David Blacker - Novice Retrieving Judge

Ms Paula Davidson - Elevated to Restricted Retrieving Judge

Mr Brian Williamson - Elevated to Restricted Retrieving Judge

Congratulations to all and our thanks to the assessors who so generously gave up their time to assess the aspirants.

HERDING NOTES - OUTSTANDING HERDING DOGS

What makes an outstanding herding dog? Hannah Barry, herding judge, trainer and competitor, highlights her special dog, Revel.

Pedigree name with titles: VH CH GHCHAs GHCHAd Stockmans Revel HXAc HIBd HSBs

Pet name: Revel

Age: Six

Top three results: Winning highest combined advanced and highest combined cattle at the 2024 Dogs Victoria state herding trial with his only two runs. Outside Dogs Australia, winning his first Victorian Cattle Dog trial association ribbon on tough cattle at Mansfield – one of only two dogs to complete two obstacles.

How did this dog come into your life? Revel was bred by Bill Scott down in Greta.

Was there anything special you saw in them as a puppy? I loved the way he was happier interacting with his human than playing with the other puppies and could also take himself off to decompress when things got rowdy.

What was the personality and behaviour like as a young pup? He was a giant lump of a puppy and full of joyful enthusiasm. He lived up to his name! He took a while to switch fully onto stock. In the meantime, there were many holes dug and exploded beds.

What do you enjoy the most competing with them? Revel tries his heart out for me every time. He is biddable and wants to please. No matter what happens in the heat of the trial, he comes out happy and ready to do it again. He has a ton of presence so I am never worried about being under gunned at a trial, no matter what the stock are like.

Its been a busy couple of months for our little committee.

We held our first SprintDog™ event at KCC Park with the new fence that has been erected for our sport. Whilst there was some initial teething issues it worked well and it made a big difference to the dogs running as there was no mesh bunting flapping around. The weather on the first day wasn’t kind to us and we had to abandon the trial after the first round of runs, something most competitors were happy with. The second day the weather gods were more favorable to us. Seeing a massive pass rate of 89 percent both days. We handed out lots of pass cards and qualifying ribbons and Sunday saw us hand out 40 title sashes. Congratulations to all those that got their first points and congratulations to all those that got a title.

A huge thank you to the Committee and a bigger thank you to all the helpers who stood out in the torrential rain, hail and gale forced winds. We couldn’t have done this without your help.

What are your long term goals for the two of you?

Revel is close to finishing his A cattle championship. I’d like to take him to grand champion on that course, and we’re also going to have a crack at advanced B course this year. I hope to make a few more Victorian and NSW Cattle Dog trial finals as we both really enjoy trialling on cattle.

Most annoying habit or quirk: He is very needy! He always needs to be touching you and if you sit down, he would rather be on you than next to you – at 25kg, he can still fit entirely on your lap.

Weekly training regime: Daily free running, a swim and a short training session on the sheep, cows or ducks keep him fit.

What is the first thing on your shopping list for this dog? More stock. He works everything!

What celebrity does he remind you of? Revel’s nickname is Scooby Doo because he often has that slightly confused look on his face, and big wide round eyes.

Pia Butcher | Herding Committee Member

We had a fair few newbies entered and we are pretty sure we will see them all very soon at the upcoming trials. There was lots of great feedback from competitors that had a good time even in the horrid weather.

There was lots of chatter about entries closing quickly. It is totally out of our control when the entries open on Show Manager, this trial took over 3 hours to fill and we left it open so people could self refund this happened right up to the day it closed. This saw the entry change quite a bit. We need to close the entry at least a week before the trial as there is a lot of back end work to be done. Our wonderful Trial Secretary has to ensure there is enough space between the catchers and releasers, so they all have time to get their dogs. This is no easy task with 150 runs each day.

If any clubs are looking to hold a SprintDog™ trial please reach out to us – sprintdogs@dogsvictoria.org.au

FROM THE VET - MY DOG HAS EATEN A BATTERY

Ingestion of batteries by dogs is not uncommon these days, especially the coin-sized button batteries. Sometimes the dog is seen to ingest the battery, and sometimes a device containing a battery is found chewed or the battery is missing. In such cases it is best to have the dog assessed by a vet.

Are batteries ingested by dogs harmful to the dog?

Most of the common batteries, such as the AA, AAA or nine volt batteries, contain acidic or alkaline material. If these are punctured or leak inside the dog they can cause ulceration to any of the tissues the leakage comes in contact with such as the mouth, oesophagus, stomach or intestines. The button-disc shaped batteries contain different material. When they pass through the gastrointestinal tract an electric charge passes through the tissue and can cause significant damage or perforation within 15-30 mins. There are other batteries that contain heavy metals such as Zink, Cobalt, Mercury, Nickel or Cadmium. These are less dangerous because the battery would need to be in the gastrointestinal tract for 2-3 days before enough of the metals were absorbed for them to become toxic.

What should be done if your dog swallows or chews a battery?

The most important thing is not to induce vomiting. If this is done and the battery is of the corrosive type, corrosion can occur on the way down the gastrointestinal tract, and again on the way up. Hence the passage could receive a double dose of corrosiveness. Instead it is advisable to give the dog some water, milk or even a chicken broth in an attempt to try and reduce the batteries corrosive effect. Following this the dog should be taken IMMEDIATELY to the vet as time is critical with these ingestions to reduce or avoid severe damage to the gastrointestinal tract.

What treatment may the vet suggest and do?

Normally the vet will suggest taking an x-ray to make sure the dog has actually ingested a battery, and if so where is is located, as this will govern the best approach to retrieve it. If the battery is in the oesophagus or stomach it may be able to be retrieved via the use of the gastroscope. If not or it is located in the intestine it may need to be surgically retrieved.

In the case where burning to the gastrointestinal tract has already occurred the dog may be given antacid or gastrointestinal protection medications.

How can battery ingestion be prevented?

The best way is to eliminate the opportunity for ingestion to occur. This means that devices that contain batteries should be placed out of reach of dogs, and loose or spare batteries also neared to be placard where not accessible to the dog.

LIBRARY NOTES

Well, here we are with Easter almost upon us and the burning question is have you ventured past the library windows recently? Our lovely ladies have been embracing their creative enthusiasm to give our members a little “Easter egg” of entertainment. There’s no doubt that we enjoy it and we hope you do too. For Easter we have a number of eggs in our window…how many did you find? Pop us a note in the return chute and let us know!

We had a sad but lovely donation from the estate of Hazel O’Hehir over summer to join our new purchases…as well as a surprise donation from Canadian Vet and author, Sydney Bleicher of his latest puppy socialisation manual. Agility people I am looking at you! We gave Clean Run a clear out so come and see what delights we have for you. We’ve also been blessed to have some extra help in the form of David Brace who has been diligently scanning his evenings away for us. We can always do with extra helpers so if you’d like to be involved drop us a line!

PIA KIRKE – CELEBRATING 60 YEARS WITH DOGS VICTORIA 50 YEARS WITH LOWCHENS

Pia first became involved in dogs in 1961, when she purchased her first show dog – a toy poodle. Eagerly she took her toy poodle to Melbourne Royal, but she realised she had no idea of what to do, so the man who groomed the dog showed him and won the challenge.

Pia remembers not staying for the challenge at shows, as she only thought these were on offer at the Royal. It wasn’t until Roger Bridgford asked why she didn’t stay for challenge that she realised challenges could be won at every show.

Roger said her dog might do well if she stayed….and guess what? she stayed, her dog won and went on to win its Class in Show. Pia was hooked.

Under her kennel prefix “Tilcha”, Pia also showed Shih Tzus as well as her Poodle and did extremely well with these.

In 1976, Pia went to the U.K. looking for a Shih Tzu, but being a Toy Judge, she went to watch the Lowchens, as they were getting CC’s for the first time.

Pia instantly fell in love with the breed and managed to acquire a beautiful brown bitch (Jilland Double Delight) and her half-sister (Jilland Double Diamante). Diamante became the first Lowchen to win Best in Group anywhere in the world, with her son (NZ Ch Tilcha Jupiter) becoming the first Best in Show winner in New Zealand. She also imported a male - Cluneen Baron Patrick. Later, Pia imported JW Quinbury Fiesta Fashion at Pepperland, who was one of the important foundation bitches in Australia. With over 75 Champions, Pia has made an enormous impact on the breed in Australia, and indeed around the world. Pia considers her import – Aust Ch Bigglesmere Just n Fashion as one of the most influential Lowchens she has owned.

But Pia’s involvement in Lowchens has gone well beyond owning and showing them. Always ready to help the breed, she has been involved with administration via the breed club and education of trainee judges eager to learn about this beautiful breed.

Pia talks fondly of the fun-loving clown and a loving family dog that is the Lowchen. They live for 16 -19 years, are very intelligent and fun to train. But above all things, Pia loves the beauty of their movement.

After 50 years you make many friends around the world, and so Pia has done – with friends in the U.K., the USA and other countries. Of these, Peter Scarth is one of her closest.

For 50 years, Pia’s dedication to her breed and her dedication to helping people learn about her breed is an inspiration to others.

Taking up judging in 1971, Pia is a licenced judge for groups one, three, six and seven, is an accredited assessor for all these groups, has groomed professionally, is an expert Bowen therapist, and has presented lectures to trainee judges on many different breeds.

Pia has been a wonderful source of knowledge and assistance to many who have studied the Toy group, and anyone who has had the benefit of her knowledge is indeed privileged. She relates that giving back to the dog world gives much pleasure, and seeing young judges develop brings great joy.

Pia has judged specialties for the Lowchen, Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apso, but the NSW Lowchen specialty remains her most favourite show.

Pia has always loved the dog world and the fact that people were in it for the love of dogs. Sadly, she feels we are losing that with winning becoming the only focus for too many.

And what about the future for the Lowchen?

“Lowchens are a breed with low numbers around the world, I worry how long my beloved breed will exist”.

Pia is a credit to her breed and a credit to our dog world.

60 years with Dogs Victoria, 50 years with the Lowchen and still going strong – on behalf of Dogs Victoria, everyone in the dog world and all her friends in her beautiful breed - sincere congratulations.

Children and Dogs

Statistics show that a very high percentage of Australian households have pets – we are a nation of animal lovers!

Pets can play a role in teaching children important life lessons, promote a sense of responsibility, and can provide a non-judgemental ‘friend’ for them to confide in.

However, there are risks involved when children and animals interact that need to be carefully managed to ensure that the relationship remains positive for both the pet and the child.

Unfortunately, every year a significant number of children are injured due to incidents with dogs – most commonly their own dog or a friend’s dog. These incidents are often triggered by the child’s interaction with the dog during eating, play or when the dog is sleeping.

Younger children, especially those under 5 years of age, are most at risk of receiving serious injuries, simply due to their head and face being at a level often equal to the dog’s.

As pet owners, we need to play an active part in keeping children and our pets safe, and in ensuring that children are taught the skills to behave safely around animals.

Start by choosing the right breed of Dog for you

and your Family

If you are thinking about adding a dog to your family, you need to do your homework and select a breed that is suited to your lifestyle and your living arrangements.

If you have young children, are planning a family, or have elderly or frail family members living with you, that highenergy herding breed or large guardian breed dog may not be the right match at this time in your life.

You also need to consider if you truly have the time to properly socialise, exercise, and train a dog so that it has every chance to be happy and healthy, especially if a lot of your time is taken up by a young family.

There are many resources available online that can help guide your selections and provide you with compatible breeds that you might not have considered.

Why not try the Dogs Victoria Breed Quiz – answer some simple questions about your lifestyle and expectations to see some breeds that might fit the bill.

Or visit Dogs Victoria’s ‘Are you ready for a dog?’ web page

Doing your homework, researching breeds, and being honest about the amount of time you have to dedicate to a pet can set you up for success right from the start!

Make it a priority to properly socialise and train your Dog

Regardless of the breed you choose, and your family’s make-up, all dogs should have opportunities for regular socialisation.

Many people mistakenly think socialisation is all about dogto-dog interaction at the local dog park, but it is actually about teaching the dog to positively view all the things that are ‘normal’ in their world. This includes regular positive encounters with all sorts of people – from men with hats and beards to children of different age groups.

Dogs Victoria Fact Sheet Training & Behaviour

Children and Dogs

Your dog should also have some basic ‘manners training’ – learning to walk nicely on the leash, and to sit and come when called. Ideally, all dogs should also learn to sit quietly in a crate or pen.

Crate training comes in super handy when travelling, visiting the groomer or veterinarian, and provides your dog with a safe space that can be used whenever the dog needs some downtime.

Getting the kids involved in training behaviours helps to promote a positive association and provides children with appropriate ways to interact with the dog. Teaching tricks or fetch with multiple toys can be a great way to promote ‘hands off’ interactions where everyone has fun.

Teach your Children how to safely behave around animals

It is important that children are taught the skills needed to behave safely around animals and to recognise when an animal is not comfortable being approached or petted.

Teach children to always treat animals calmly and gently and to be kind. They should learn never to hurt, tease, frighten, chase or corner an animal.

Kissing and hugging, although normal for humans, can be frightening for pets. These behaviours also put the child’s face right up close to the dog’s muzzle. So instead, teach children how to interact without holding, grabbing or restraining the pet.

They should also be taught never to disturb an animal when it is sleeping or eating.

Finally, they need to be taught to leave a dog alone if it lifts its lip, growls, stares at them or backs away from them, or it is raises the hair on the back of its neck.

Away from home, children should be taught not to approach or pat unfamiliar dogs, even if they look friendly, and to always ask the owner or a parent if they can pat the dog. They need to understand that not all dogs are comfortable near children.

If they are approached by an unfamiliar dog, they need to be taught to stand still, and not to run or scream.

Parents also need to model correct behaviour themselves. Remember that children learn best by copying what they see others do!

Always supervise and if you can’t supervise then separate.

Any dog, no matter how tolerant or ‘bomb-proof’ it has been in the past, has the potential to bite a child.

Children need constant close supervision when near dogs. Things can change very quickly, so active supervision by an adult who understands what signs to look for is needed whenever interactions are occurring.

If supervision is not possible, or the play is getting out of hand, then separating the kids and the dog is by far the safest option.

Setting up a dedicated ‘dog-free’ zone for the kids to run and play and make lots of noise will keep your kids safe, and having a ‘child-free’ place for your dog to relax means that your dog does not get overwhelmed and has a place to retreat to when things get a little over the top.

Make sure that both your kids and any visitors are aware that they are not to interact with the dog when it is in its crate, pen or quiet place.

If your child is going to a friend’s or relative’s place –make sure that the responsible adults also understand the importance of supervising all of the interactions between the dog and the children.

THREE COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT MILK REPLACERS

1.

“Should a milk replacer be part of my maternity toolkit?”

There are several reasons why milk-replacers may become necessary, either as a ‘top-up’ or as the sole source of nutrition. As you know, some first-time mothers may struggle with their maternal instincts. Alternatively, the bitch may be unwell or unable to produce enough milk, especially if she has a large litter. Toxic milk syndrome occurs when some puppies in a litter develop diarrhoea or colitis, despite the dam showing no clinical signs of mastitis. Studies suggest this may be linked to subclinical mastitis, which can be detected by examining the milk for increased neutrophils¹.

Even if the bitch appears to be managing well, it is crucial to closely monitor the puppies, as inadequate weight gain can often be the first indicator of a problem, suggesting that additional support is needed. We recommend weighing your puppies daily after birth to track their progress. Recent studies show that any puppy losing more than 4% of its birth weight within the first 48 hours has a significantly higher risk of mortality and may benefit from supplemental feeding¹-³.

Other risk factors for neonatal mortality may include:

• A low birth weight and low Apgar score ²,⁴. If you aren’t currently Apgar scoring your pups it is definitely worth looking up how to do this, as it will really help you to identify any potential weaker puppies so you can offer them immediate additional nutritional support.

• Litter heterogeneity (weight difference between biggest and smallest puppies in a litter) - If a significant weight variation is observed within the litter, it should be considered potentially at risk.

• Puppies from large litters. If the litter size is bigger than is typically expected for that breed, the puppies are more likely to be of low birth weight.² Using supplemental milk replacers from birth in this instance can provide nutritional support for these puppies.

2.

“All milk replacers are the same.”

A common misconception is that any milk will suffice for newborn puppies. However, canine milk is unique: it’s more energy-dense, is twice as rich in protein, fat, calcium, and phosphorus compared to other species, all of which contribute to healthy growth. Cow and goat milk, being higher in lactose, may be harder for puppies to digest. Human milk replacers should be avoided as they contain starch, which puppies can’t digest during their first few weeks. Homemade formulas are also risky due to the difficulty in replicating the nutritional balance of canine milk and ensuring sterility.

Osmolality, the osmotic pressure from dissolved particles, is crucial in milk replacers. If a milk replacer has high osmolality, it can lead to osmotic diarrhoea, a serious condition for newborn puppies who are 84% water⁵. Ensuring the milk replacer has the right osmolality is essential, and formulas designed specifically for puppies are made with this in mind.

While there are many milk replacers available, not all may meet the puppies’ nutritional needs. Some formulas contain beneficial components like DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), prebiotics, and maltodextrin, supporting cognitive development, digestive function, immune health, and overall growth. The bitch’s ability to produce DHA during lactation is limited¹, so supplementing newborn puppies with DHA has been shown to aid in the development of cognitive and ocular functions. Some milk formulas contain prebiotics, like fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), which help promote digestive health and contribute to immune system development by supporting a healthy balance of microbiota.

When using a milk replacer, always remember to check the puppy’s body temperature first. Newborn puppies have a limited ability to regulate their body temperature, and if they are too cold, their digestive system won’t function properly. Ensure that the environment is warm, and if the puppy is cold, gently warm before feeding.

Reconstitution errors are the most common issue when preparing powder-based milk replacers. Follow the manufacturer’s water-to-powder ratio, as more is not always better. Mixing with other milk types, such as goat’s milk, may alter osmolality and cause digestive issues. Don’t forget to stimulate the puppy to urinate and defecate after feeding.

3. “Diarrhoea during weaning is only of viral or bacterial origin.”

Diarrhoea can slow growth rates and increase the risk of mortality⁶, as gastrointestinal issues are a leading cause of death in puppies under one year of age⁷. But diarrhoea during weaning isn’t always caused by viral or bacterial infections. At this stage, puppies are still developing their digestive systems: they lose the ability to digest milk but haven’t fully adapted to digesting starch. Environmental factors such as stress, high temperatures, or excessive humidity, as well as changes in diet, can contribute to diarrhoea during weaning. It’s also important to consider that certain parasites, like coccidia and Giardia, can also be implicated.

At weaning, which typically begins around 4 to 4.5 weeks of age, it’s important to ensure a smooth transition from milk to solid food. If kibble is introduced, it should be rehydrated in the first few weeks to make it easier for puppies to eat and digest. Using a canine milk replacer instead of water during the first week can help ease this process.

During weaning, puppies’ digestive systems are still immature and more fragile than in adults. Therefore we want the diet to be as digestible as possible. Digestive safety is essential for puppies because puppies are very sensitive to dehydration, a common consequence of diarrhoea.

Avoid free feeding during weaning, as this is a recognised risk factor for weaning diarrhoea. Research has shown that feeding puppies four meals per day during weaning improves stool quality by reducing digestive workload⁸.

For steady and healthy growth, BABYDOG MILK is formulated to closely match the bitch’s milk, with high energy and protein levels. Its unique formula dissolves instantly and completely, leaving no sediment and creating a smooth, homogenous mixture. Enriched with DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid, it aids in brain development and helps an immature immune system. It also has the right amount of lactose and prebiotics for optimal digestion.

OUR STARTER MOTHER & BABYDOG range offers tailored nutritional solutions to support puppies during weaning, from 1 to 2 months of age. Enriched with DHA for brain development and learning, it also contains a blend of prebiotics, and highly digestible proteins to promote a healthy intestinal balance. The formula supports a strong immune system with nutrients including Vitamins E and C. Additionally, the STARTER range meets the high energy needs of the bitch during late pregnancy and lactation.

A member shall not include any contractual provisions contrary to this regulation. (15/11/11)

4.4.5 Any member who sells a registered dog without transfer of registration to the purchaser must obtain the agreement of the purchaser in writing that the dog will either not be transferred into the name of the purchaser or deregistered with the VCA.

4.4.6 A member shall not sell any dog in such a manner as to cause the purchaser to believe the dog being sold is registered with the VCA if it is not. (15/09/19)

4.4.6.1 A member may indicate during the sale that a dog which is not as yet registered with the VCA is intended to be registered in accordance with Regulation 4.1.3

ANKC LTD REGULATIONS Part 6 Section 8 Breeding

8.3 All bitches eight years of age and over at the time of a mating must have a current veterinary certificate stating that the bitch is in good health at the time of breeding.

A current veterinarian certificate is defined as being within three months prior to the mating. (Added BOD 10/11)

8.4 First generation (father/daughter, mother/son, brother/ sister) matings are not permitted. ANKC Ltd Member Bodies will not register the progeny of father/daughter, mother/ son, brother/sister matings on the Main Register unless application was made to the Member Body and approval was given prior to the mating on the basis of health or genetic reasons to the benefit of the breed. Any breach of this regulation will constitute an offence by the member/ members who are the owners of the sire and dam of the litter. The progeny resulting from such a breach will be registered on the Limited Register and endorsed ‘never to be upgraded’ and any further penalties may be determined by the member’s member body. (Added 10/10, 6.7) (Amended EAP 07/11) (Amended 10/14, 7.5.6)

a. Grounds for the mating should include details of the dogs to be mated and relevant health test results;

b. Desired outcomes for the mating;

c. When the intended mating is likely to occur.

8.5.2 Where prior approval has not been sought or granted by the Member Body. All progeny are to be registered on the Limited Register and the record flagged never to be upgraded to the Main Register. (Added 10/13 – 6.5.1)
