PRESIDENT’S Report

Dear Members,

With government COVID-19 restrictions being raised again during February 2021 I would like to take this opportunity to again thank all members for their continued adherence to all COVID-19 safety regulations.

As we all now know, the COVID-19 global pandemic is a continually changing situation and we continue to keep the safety of all members and staff as our first priority. I would also like to directly thank Simon Briggs and Ron Murphy for all the hard work they have done in supporting our efforts to run Covidsafe events. I encourage all members and event attendees to regularly check our COVID-19 Hub on our website for updates regarding shows and COVID-19 safety.

To assist clubs, Dogs Victoria Management Committee recently passed a change to our regulations to enable dog shows and events to be rescheduled to the next available free date in the event of any sudden change in government directives. If the new date is within one month of the original event date, then the show can proceed as initially planned (no change to age classes of entries already received). If the event is more than one month after the original event date, then the club can reopen its entries but will also need to adjust the age of exhibits.

I would also like to extend a special thank you to the following affiliated clubs who have already conducted shows and events so far this year. I understand the difficulties you faced and we have learned so much from your experience.

What is the Purpose of the Limited Register?

At a recent ANKC meeting, the purpose of the “Limited Register” was discussed. Directors raised concerns that the original purpose of the Limited Register had been lost. Originally, this registration category had been introduced to enable the registration of those purebred puppies we have all had from time to time that are not

suitable for breeding or showing (such as those with dental abnormalities, monorchids, mismarkings, etc.). What has happened ,however, is that the category is being increasingly used only to protect breeders’ bloodlines. There are many cases now where all the puppies in a litter are placed on the limited register, regardless of quality. When I first brought a pedigreed dog, puppies could only be placed on the main register.

I didn’t buy the pup intending to show it, it was only months later that the breeder suggested that the pup may be good enough to show. It is quite unlikely that I would have joined the then KCC and entered my pup in a show if it was on the Limited Register. My point is, how many potential members and dog exhibitors are we missing out on when the great majority of pups are sold with Limited Registration. Many of these puppies are definitely of show quality. Should we consider allowing them to be entered and shown? Should we be asking breeders to provide the reasons for placing a puppy on this register. I also believe that the practice will eventually have an impact on reducing the available gene pool, and could therefore have repercussions on the health and wellbeing of our breeds. These are just some of the questions we need to consider.

This month’s issue of Dogs Victoria Magazine focuses on the significant contribution made by women working with dogs in a multitude of industries. It is safe to say that Dogs Victoria and the purebred community would not be the same without the significant and foundational input from our female members and staff, both past and present. It is encouraging to see so many women finding successful careers working with purebred dogs and it shows that working with canines is still a very viable career path for many Victorians.

Till next time, enjoy your March Magazine.

All the best and stay safe

Kind Regards

BUILDING A BETTER PARK

KCC PARK FACILITIES COMMITTEE UPDATE

WRITTEN BY: CHRIS MOORE

In recent weeks, grounds maintenance has been busy with mowing of all areas within KCC Park. Due to further unseasonal rainfall in January, area 6 was very wet and difficult for the large mower to reduce the grass height. Fortunately hot weather has since enabled mowing of the grass and the height reduced.

Pleasing to see some members using the dam for training. In the long term we expect to run an access road closer to the dam to assist members using this facility.

Covid cleaning. Extensive work has been undertaken to ensure we have Covid compliant cleaning at the site for our events etc, and we are pleased to announce we now have an established program. Sadly, this has placed an increased cost on all our activities, but if we wish to conduct our events, we have now choice but to comply. Extensive signage has been put around the grounds , and traffic management signs for our events.

Opening of Toilets – From Monday 15 February the Classic Building Toilet block – Men and Women’s, and Pavilion Disabled and Change Room Toilets will be open 7 days a week. All toilet blocks will be open for large events eg All Breeds Dog Show etc. Hand sanitiser etc, are now available.

An application has been made to South East Water seeking availability of sewerage connection to KCC Park. The cost will be substantial but sewer connection is far more desirable than the septic system which has had issues as the site grows. On investigation we found out there is a main sewer line opposite KCC Park on the eastern side of the Dandenong Hastings Road.

In the coming weeks outdoor events will continue at KCC Park. Preparation by our caretaker and helpers will require area closure two days ahead of event areas required by clubs.

Lawn grubs were identified in some areas of KCC Park in January. These pests damage the lawn, but their presence also invites unwelcome wildlife that feed on lawn grubs –digging up patches of grass in search for them. A nontoxic insecticide has been spread which will rectify the situation and restore some of the brown patches of grass.

West End Dirt Pile – We are awaiting the final EPA report once their investigation into the movement of the soil from a former Metropolitan Fire Brigade site is completed. We continue to represent that the contamination should be removed. EPA have recently requested further testing. Summary below:

• On 4 November 2020 EPA issued our contractor with a Minor Works Pollution Abatement Notice (MWPAN) to cease accepting waste and to clean up identified asbestos fragments on site. This notice was complied with and revoked on 19 November 2020.

• On 8 January 2021 EPA issued our contractor a Clean Up

Notice (CUN) to undertake groundwater investigations at the site. The final requirement of this notice is due 30 April 2021.

• EPA is investigating potential offsite impacts to surface water but is not able to provide an update at this time as investigations are ongoing.

Some members have expressed concern at the large mound of dirt on the West End. This is topsoil which is being stockpiled to provide the final layer of topsoil to complete the project, Any additional updates will be published as they come to hand.

Pot Holes at the Wedge Road entrance were reported to Frankston Council in September, December & January 2021. We are hopeful the repairs will be completed by now with further communication to the local council to ensure the safety of our members.

The Fire Service Hydrants are now “live” and most important they are not opened by anyone unless of a fire and persons fully trained. The funding of this essential project has been by members reserve funds. The project was 18 months in the planning followed by design and external quoting to obtain the best cost to Dogs Victoria. We greatly appreciate support from KCC Park Facilities committee members along with David Cartledge, one of our DV plumber members. David has been driving the project since our first planning meeting. Pleased to report the project has been completed within estimate and with minimal disturbance to event areas.

Additional signage will be placed around KCC Park in the coming weeks. Parking and speed signs will be installed for the safety of our members and visitors.

A working bee will be announced in the coming weeks. If you can assist come along and support our team of members. You will be made most welcome. Light duties along with some maintenance will be available for everyone skilled or unskilled.

Classic Dog Show was a huge success with over 1000 dogs at our first All Breeds Dog Show at KCC Park under Covid conditions. Many positive comments from our members on the wonderful condition of the grounds we now have in place to show our dogs on. A bit pat on the back to our new ground’s contractor Programmed Property Services.

Boxhall Indoor Building Floor Maintenance. We have been trialling the latest mechanical equipment to clean the floor of the indoor building. Pleased to report the recent trials have been most encouraging and once indoor events are approved the floor will be in pristine condition. We are seeking interest from members who are qualified tradesmen for upcoming maintenance. If you know of any members or friends who would like to quote projects including, building, carpentry, electrical or painting please contact KCC Park Facilities Committee C/ Janet Davidson jdavidson@dogsvictoria.org.au

W RKING WITH W MEN’S BEST FRIEND

There is nothing like the sense of fulfilment from working with your dog. Whether that be from improving their behaviour through training, earning the top spot at a dog conformation show or the sense of accomplishment you feel from them simply learning a new trick. For these three women, that feeling is just part of their daily jobs, as they service three very different industries built around working with Women’s best friend.

“Police dog handlers spend a huge amount of time training their dogs, so when you finally qualify as an operational team with one of them and you get to go out and work successfully, you really get to see and experience the fruits of your labour, which is very fulfilling”, says Acting Sergeant Kathryn Koop, Victorian Police Dog Squad She shares an extremely unique bond with her 3 working dogs who regularly venture out into the community to protect and serve as members of the Victorian Police Dog Squad.

“At present I have three working dogs that I handle, which means they live with me full time and are only kennelled if I am unable to care for them for any reason. I have a narcotic detection police dog called Kelsey, who is 10 years old and an explosive detection police dog called Puma who is 7 years old. I also have a trainee police dog called Kodah who is six months old”.

“Every day our general purpose and detection teams are tasked and deployed to various locations in their specialist roles, to assist other police members. Apart from the routine of caring for our dogs at home prior to the commencement of our shifts, each day can be very different to the next and that makes it a very interesting place to work” says Sergeant Kathrine Koop.

Being one of the first female officers to serve on the Victorian Police Dog Squad, Sergeant Kathryn Koop is showing others the way forward. Illustrating to the wider community that women working with dogs fulfils a very important role in modern Australian society.

“I was one of the first females to be selected to work at the Dog Squad. I was approached by a Sergeant from the Dog Squad who asked if I would be interested in applying to be a dog handler and at the time, I had been working general policing duties at Dandenong Police Station for nine years and thought that I would give it a go. I can now say that it was the best career decision I have ever made”, said Acting Sergeant Kathryn Koop.

With dog ownership booming in parts of Victoria and other states due to COVID-19 lockdown measures, there has never been a better time for professional women working in the dog industry to take the lead and show new dog owners the way forward.

“We get to educate owners through compassion on how they can best care for and do right by their dogs”, says dog groomer turned educator, Kelsey Lee McGowan, instructor of Animal Studies at Kangan Institute, Broadmeadows Campus.

“I entered the domestic pet care industry when I got my first job as a bather at the age of 18. Across the course of 12 years I’ve worked across the industry from boutique salons as a pet stylist to now working for recognised training organisations to teach the next generation the skills needed for them to thrive in the industry.”

Maintaining the flow of skills and knowledge from one generation to the next not only ensures that this industry is well supported to continue to service Victoria’s canine community but in turn increases community understanding of the very real welfare requirement of regular grooming for all dogs.

“Regular grooming contributes greatly to a dog’s overall health and wellbeing. From healthy skin and coat (the largest organ of the body) to the correct use of products and equipment”, says Kelsey.

“Groomers see dogs more often than any other pet professional simply due to a regular grooming schedule, usually around 6 to 8 weeks or more frequently. Groomers are more likely to notice an animal’s declining health, teeth or ear issues, spot abnormalities on the dog. I’ve personally experienced many dogs who have benefited and even had their lives saved or prolonged due to routine grooming sessions”.

Indeed, the bond developed by attending a regular professional dog groomer can in some cases be life saving for the dog and certainly gives an owner a greater understanding of the overall health of their dog. That unique bond between dog industry professionals and dogs is illustrated so succinctly in the bond between Nadine Harber, Guide Dog Mobility Instructor at Guide Dogs Victoria, Kew Campus.

“I am an absolute animal lover! From a young age, I have surrounded myself with dogs, cats and horses (more recently). At the moment I have five beautiful dogs, each with their own personality”, said Nadine.

“These beautiful dogs have many talents, such as willingness, intelligence, character and adaptability. Our working dogs can maintain a good balance between work and down time and understand the difference between the two. The Labrador motto would be –work when you must, sleep when you can”.

Nadine and her “trainees” are often in the public eye as their training requires them to prepare for real situations and distractions, making them fantastic ambassadors for young people dreaming of a career working with dogs.

“There are so many amazing aspects of a career with dogs. I feel lucky every day to be able to work with such kind and giving creatures. These dogs give their trainers 100% each day; they are so patient and understanding”

“The advice I would give young women wanting to enter into this industry would be to research the industry and careers available. I would recommend finding mentors who can teach you the ins and outs of the industry. Finally, it is important to make sure you are learning something new every day and following your passion”.

With such strong and dedicated role models like Nadine, Kelsey and Kathryn leading the way across various industries the focus on educating the public on dog behaviour, welfare and the significant role women play, will continue to put dog industry businesses and services at the forefront in our local communities.

POODLES IN HISTORY AND ART

Poodles, with their different sizes and colours are among our most distinctive and popular breeds. Typified by their clip which dates back centuries, they were originally used as Water Spaniels. Simultaneously, a smaller companion dog with a similar clip was depicted in European paintings and caricatures. Today the coat is the breeds' hallmark with fashionable or tidy clips adapted to suit the individual dog's function as a show dog or as a pet.

In 1570 AD Caius described both Water Spaniels and Fisher Dogs which had superfluous hair shaven from the shoulders to the hind legs so they would be less hindered when swimming. Water dogs or 'Canis Aquaticus' were also known along the European coast of France, Portugal, and Spain. The wonderful woodcut by Gervase Markham is from his book 'The Art of Fowling' (1655 AD), where he describes the trimming of these Water Dogs:

"... for the cutting and shaving him from the navel downward or backward is because these water dogs naturally are ever most laden with hair on the hinder parts. (These) are even deeper in the water than the fore parts, therefore Nature hath given them the greatest armour of hair to defend the wet and coldness; yet this defence in the summertime by violence of the heat of the sun is very troublesome. Likewise, in the matter of water, it is a very heavy burden to the dog and makes him to swim less nimbly and slower”.

Poodle type dogs of all sizes whose hindquarters were often shaved as described above, have been illustrated in European art since the 1600's. Smaller dogs were generally depicted as pets for the nobility. By 1700's the French began to trim Poodles in more outlandish styles which became fashionable with the aristocracy. This really came to the fore during the reign of Louis XVI (1774 - 92) when the art of Poodle trimming emerged,

together with the flair of the French and the birth of professional canine stylists.

By the early 1800's as the breeds were becoming differentiated, both Water Dogs and these smaller clipped pet dogs took on the traditional trim which appealed to both cartoonists and artists. They created Poodles in humorous poses like the caricature 'Monstrosities of 1821' featuring a Miniature Poodle and a famous Landseer satirical painting 'Laying Down the Law' of 1840 featuring a large Poodle. These artists made the Poodle's traditional clip famous. By 1896, London had a 'Dogs' Toilet Club' where Poodles could be professionally clipped, brushed, combed, shampooed with the yolks of eggs and be attended to by a professional chiropodist.

Both the large and the small Poodles that we know today became known by various names in different parts of Europe. Today they are still called 'caniche' in France. In the early 1800's, the Napoleonic Wars began between Britain and France. Because the Germans were allies, it was more politically correct to adopt the name of these dogs from the German word 'Pudeln' meaning to splash or puddle in water. Later, the English acknowledged the Water dog's country of origin by calling it the 'French Poodle'.

The Poodle then became legendary because of his intelligence, and ability to be trained. This made him popular, especially in England as a circus dog. By 1886, the English Poodle Club was formed, coinciding with the Poodle Club of America in the same year. Then the modern Poodle we know today went ahead by leaps and bounds.

BREED SPOTLIGHT - Poodle

HISTORY

Although it is somewhat difficult to be precise about the origins of the Poodle, there are references in art and literature dating back earlier than the 12th century. Often incorrectly attributed to being solely a French breed, the Poodle is of German origin, with the name coming from the German word “pudelin”, which means to splash. There is certainly Russian, together with some French influence, attributed to the modern day Poodle. The Poodle was greatly revered as a water retrieving dog, combining many traits to be successful in this activity. Although three varieties of Poodle are recognised, they differ in size only and are closely related. The largest, the Standard Poodle, is the oldest variety and was used as a water retriever. The smaller Poodle has become more and more popular in modern times. The Miniature Poodle is the medium sized variety and may be closer to the original Poodle in height than the present Standard size. It was originally called the Toy Poodle but the name was changed when the smallest form was recognised.

CHARACTERISTICS

The Poodle is a very energetic, intelligent, sociable and an extremely proud dog. Each variety should have the same physical traits and temperament, just in different sized bodies. They make exceptional pets due to their highly trainable nature and excel as performance dogs, therapy dogs and of course companion dogs. It is a breed that cannot be considered an outside dog or left alone for long periods of time. Whatever their size, they are lively dogs with friendly dispositions and make excellent guard dogs.

GROOMING

The nature of the Poodle coat makes it a high maintenance breed. The non-shedding, curly, thick coat has many advantages, but for the comfort and hygiene of the dog and health of the skin, it needs to be brushed regularly to remove dead hair from the coat and keep free of tangles. It is recommended that he be bathed and clipped every 6-8 weeks. The non-shedding nature has great appeal to allergy sufferers. As well as being able to style the Poodle into many different clips and trims. In return, you will be rewarded with love, loyalty and protection from your Poodle, regardless of its size.

LIFESPAN & HEALTH

When considering a dog, please realise that you are taking it on for its lifetime. The average life span will vary across the size varieties. The Standard 10 to 12 years and the Miniature and Toy 12 to 15 years.

The Poodle is generally a healthy breed, however health conditions do occur occasionally it is recommended you enquire about general breed health. For Toys and Miniatures, a DNA test for Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) should be completed. Other concerns include Luxating Patellas (unstable knee) and Legg-Perthe’s Disease. For Standard Poodles, DNA tests for Degenerative Myelopathy, Neonatal Encephalopathy and Von Willebrand’s Disease should be completed along with x-rays for Hip Dysplasia. Sebaceous Adenitis, an auto immune condition can also be tested for. Buying a puppy from a knowledgeable breeder who completes health testing will increase your chances of getting a healthy puppy, irrespective of breed.

FACTS ABOUT THE BREED

The Toy and Miniature Poodle are ideal for those who may live in apartments or with limited space. They are often more favoured by retired people but fit in well with families.

The Poodle comes in many beautiful solid colours, including black, white, brown, silver, cream, blue and apricot.

The English Poodle Club was formed in 1886!

IN CONCLUSION

Hopefully the information provided in this spotlight has given you an insight into the breed of Standard Poodles and helped you discover whether this breed is a good suit for you. For more information on Poodles or available breeders of this breed, contact the Poodle Club of Victoria or view the breed page on our website using our “Breed Information & Registered Breeders” directory in the Family Pet area of the website. Make sure to ask any registered breeders you talk to plenty of questions about your puppy before buying.

FIELD TRIALLING IN 2021

Looking into the crystal ball it appears that the 2021 Quail season (commencing the first Saturday in April and running until the last Sunday in June) could be a successful year for Field triallers, be it Pointers and Setters, Utility Gundogs, and even Spaniels and Retrievers who normally work on rabbits but can be equally successful on Quail. Conditions have been excellent with regular rain keeping moisture and cover in the paddocks and no periods of extended intense heat. The last great season for quail in Victoria was in 2011 when we experienced January floods, while we are not hoping for floods again this year, we certainly are hopeful that the good conditions will keep the birds within our state.

Field trialling is wonderful sport, you get to watch your dog do the job for which it was bred and which it clearly loves more than pretty much any other activity. Watching a good bird dog work the wind, quarter and cover then ground before slamming on point is a true pleasure in life. Like all things that are worthwhile, field trialling is not an easy pursuit.

There are a few hurdles to overcome before you can enter your dog in its first field trial. First and foremost is getting the right dog, one that has been bred to retain the working traits that are required to do the job. Luckily there are still many breeders that concentrate on working ability in addition to soundness and conformation and a breeder of these dogs will be keen to sell their puppies to somebody who is interested in trialling.

The second issue is training, it’s not as simple as taking your dog to a suitable paddock and letting it run amok, although this is likely to be greatly enjoyable to the dog! A mentor (experienced trialler, hunter, dog trainer) is a big help, if that’s not possible then there is plenty of information on the internet to help you get started.

Thirdly there’s finding Quail which can certainly be a problem in itself, especially in years when the conditions are less favourable and the birds have headed elsewhere. If you have a suitable paddock then the lack of native wild quail can be overcome to a certain extent by buying Japanese Quail from the poultry markets or attending a game reserve, but nothing beats working your dog on native Quail.

Once you have your dog out in the paddock that contains some birds then you need to concentrate on control and handling as well as the natural use of nose and wind. It’s a good idea to think about what is required in a trial in addition to pointing birds – steadiness, backing, retrieving, coming when called and not chasing game – even rabbits and hares.

While it may all seem a little daunting when your dog finishes its first field trial successfully you will feel that it has certainly all been worthwhile and you will be hooked on your journey to turn your dog into an Australian Field Trial champion. Field trials are very social, all newcomers are

welcomed and assisted with advice and training. You are very welcome to attend a trial to watch proceedings and to gain some knowledge as to what will be required. The judges are always happy to explain what is happening as the trial unfolds. Please do not hesitate to contact RAFT members for more information and keep an eye on the RAFT Facebook page for event details. Happy hunting.

Canine Research Foundation Grants for 2021

Canine Research Foundation Grants for 2021

The Canine Research Foundation is a Public Charitable Trust to support research conducted at Australian universities from funds generated via the levy on puppy registrations from the State Bodies, fund raising functions, tax-deductible donations and bequests from the public. Up until 2019 each puppy that was registered in Australia $2 was donated to the Canine Research Foundation (passed at the AGM). As of 2019 funding to the CRF from puppy registrations is received only from Dogs Victoria. The CRF thanks Dogs Victoria for their continued support.

to investigate canine hereditary diseases. He then set up a separate canine research committee with the prospect of funding canine research in Victoria and hopefully nationally. That was the beginning of the Canine Research Foundation.

Since 1992 the Canine Research Foundation has funded 132 research grants which includes those starting in 2021.

The CRF supports research to improve canine health. Just to be clear the CRF does not support research using dogs as model animals for medical research projects. The types of samples collected and used in the projects involve blood samples, tissue samples from patients with diseases and obtained during the normal diagnostic processes involved with treating owner’s dogs, urine samples, DNA samples, imaging including X-rays and MRI and demographic data about occurrences, frequency of diseases and behavioural observations.

The Canine Research Foundation – The Founder Mr Robert Maver

Just under 1.5 million dollars of funding has been distributed since 1992 for research projects. The funding supports research that will improve canine health with a focus on projects that will be of benefit to dogs in general. The CRF also supports research on breed specific conditions where the health issue is deemed to be problematic and the occurrence is high. To mark the milestone of the first 25 years of the CRF we have produced a booklet which showcases some of the highlights which can be viewed on our webpage (https://oz.dogs.net.au/crf/celebrating-25-years.asp). The VCA library has copies of the Booklet celebrating achievements of the CRF in the last 25 years. Current trustees of the Canine Research Foundation are: Mr Roger Bridgford (President) – All Breeds Judge (Taumac Golden Retrievers), Ms Louise Brodie (Britebay Cocker Spaniels), Professor Brian Corbitt (All Breeds judge and Historian), Dr Steve Holloway (Veterinarian and Researcher), Associate Professor Jan West (Lecturer in Biomedical Science, Llandaff Cardigan Corgis), and Mr John Chapman (Lawyer, Tollerpoint Nova Scotian Duck Tolling Retrievers). Bob’s legacy continues. For the 2021 funding round three grants were successful in receiving funding from the CRF and summaries of the projects are outlined below.

Development of a murine model of canine endometritis and evaluation of the virulence of vaccine candidates in mice.

The Canine Research Foundation – The Founder Mr Robert Maver

The originator of the CRF was Mr Robert (Bob) Maver. Bob became the owner of his first Labrador Retriever as a schoolboy in 1946 and commenced working, showing and breeding them in 1948, producing some notable show winners under the prefix Royella, in the 1950’s. Bob introduced and developed the sport of Retrieving Trials (RT) to Victoria, giving rise to the sports rapid spread to all Australian states and mainland territories and contributing to the preservation of the retrieving skills and instincts of the retrieving breeds.

Pyometra is a disease of adult intact female dogs and is characterised by the accumulation of pus in the uterus. Although the disease is diagnosed on average at seven years of age, younger animals can also be affected. Current preventative measures against pyometra include elective spaying of healthy dogs and the use of hormones such as progesterone receptor blockers and prostaglandins. While the former leads to permanent loss of breeding capacity of the female dog, the latter is expensive and there is still a chance of developing pyometra in subsequent oestrous cycles if the bitch is not bred. Both these treatment options often result in lowered fertility which can reduce the gene pool within a breed. If left untreated, the mortality rates are high. Over the past few years our research group has worked intensively on improving the understanding of the disease process. It has become clear that infection of the uterus with the bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli) is known to be one of the main causative factors in the development of canine pyometra. Hence, in 2017 we proposed to develop a bacterial vaccine against E. coli to help prevent the disease. In the past years, we have developed three potential vaccine candidates and have conducted in vitro studies to characterise the growth and phenotypic behaviour of these vaccine candidates in different conditions. In the next phase of this study, we propose to conduct in vivo experiments in mice to test the virulence (the ability of the vaccine to cause disease) and efficacy (effectivenss) of the vaccine candidates. The aim of the present study is to develop a novel model of endometritis in mice and test the virulence and efficacy of the vaccine candidates in this model. Based on the outcomes of the virulence study, the safest vaccine candidates will then be selected for the immunization and challenge studies. If a promising strain is identified, we will propose to undertake an experiment on bitches in a future project.

(2) Metabolomic profile of canine osteosarcoma to identify early diagnosis biomarkers

Panayiotis (Panos) Loukopoulos

The University of Melbourne

Osteosarcoma is a common, aggressive bone cancer of dogs, particularly larger and giant breeds. Dogs often present as acutely lame, and by that time, it is often late in the clinical course, with lung metastases (radiographically detectable or not) already established in most cases. Partly for this reason, and the fact it is associated with severe pain, osteosarcoma carries a grave prognosis; the median survival period is 2-4 months for dogs treated with amputation alone, and approximately a year for dogs treated with surgery and chemotherapy.

Bob was inducted into the Hall of Fame in recognition of his contribution in vision and drive in establishing Retrieving Trials in Victoria, developing them through to national championship level and for judging more than 200 Retrieving Trials over 43 years.

Bob became interested in canine health when more than one of his dogs developed different genetic conditions. When his Labrador developed hip dysplasia he was determined to find out why the breed was predisposed. He was put onto the management of the Victorian Canine Association and started a committee to investigate canine hereditary diseases. He then set up a separate canine research committee with the prospect of funding canine research in Victoria and hopefully nationally. That was the beginning of the Canine Research Foundation.

The project aims to identify the metabolites (substances) present in the serum (blood) and urine of dogs with osteosarcoma with or without metastases at initial presentation, in non-cancer bearing lame dogs and in healthy dogs, using analytical chemistry metabolomics methodologies. By comparing the type of substances present in the serum and urine of cancer-bearing, lame from other causes and healthy dogs, using computer-assisted pattern-recognition analysis, substances specific to bone cancer may be identified to facilitate earlier and easier detection, and thus allow earlier treatment intervention and improve survival and disease-free rates. The derived metabolomic profiles will be analysed and compared using computer-assisted pattern-recognition analysis, in order to identify substances that may be clinically relevant and that are differentially expressed in the different groups. The identification of such substances may subsequently be used in the development of minimally invasive serum or urine tests for early detection and treatment monitoring of this devastating and common disease of dogs. Potentially the findings from this study could also benefit research into human osteosarcoma

Canine health during emergency evacuations in the Australian bushfire season. Assoc. Prof Hayley Randle

Charles Sturt University

The 2019/20 bushfire season saw extreme environmental conditions that had catastrophic impacts on animal welfare. These impacts included large population shifts of working and companion canines under emergency conditions. Dogs evacuated to emergency shelters were often from low-socioeconomic households, including those on low incomes, social benefits or with poor human health. Registration into an emergency animal shelter was the first time some pets may have seen a veterinarian in several years. Many dogs had never left their home environments or been exposed to large numbers of unfamiliar dogs before. Separation anxiety, change of feed, and housing with other dogs under stressful circumstances made management of dogs with underlying health conditions challenging for evacuation centre staff and their owners. In addition, the combination of environmental stressors, close mixing enabling sharing of pathogens, and existing co-morbidities, all increase the disease pressure in a population. Therefore, this study will evaluate, for the first time, the positive and negative health impacts (for example, exacerbation of existing disease conditions) on a population of dogs presenting at bushfire evacuation centres in NSW by evaluation of incoming, outgoing and long term

condition of the animals from the owners, and veterinary support staff perspective, as well as defining the demographic of animals presenting to evacuation shelters. Decisions to remove dogs into veterinary clinical care, compared to animals retained in evacuation shelters, will be reviewed and clinical outcomes assessed. This information will provide essential information for the better management of displaced dogs during acute emergency conditions in the future.

DERMOID MASSES IN DOGS

WHAT IS A DERMOID MASS?

A dermoid mass a growth present on the cornea or conjunctiva (ie inside of the eyelid). The tissue involved consists of fat, hair follicles, hair and glandular tissue.They are congenital lesions that develop in utero and affect young puppies.

WHAT SIGNS DO AFFECTED DOGS SHOW?

Affected pups are born with dermoids, but some are not obvious until the pup grows.They are most commonly seen in German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Dobermanns, St Bernards and Shih Tzus. Not all dermoids look alike; some are pink, some are grey and some have hair protruding from them.

Some dermoids affect the dogs ability to blink, and often there is inflammation of the conjunctiva with discharge from the eye. Where hairs grow from the dermoid and rub on the cornea they can cause corneal ulceration and associated squinting, eye rubbing and excessive tearing of the eye.

HOW ARE DERMOIDS DIAGNOSED?

Usually dermoid growths are visible on examination of the eye. When diagnosed it is often advisable to use a fluorescein dye to test for an associated corneal ulcer.

HOW ARE DERMOID MASSES TREATED?

Surgical removal of the dermoid mass under general anaesthetic is the primary treatment. It is done to remove the growth and any ingrowing hairs that are irritating or scratching the cornea. If all tissue is removed the mass should not regrow.

After removal the dog is often placed on antibiotics and antibiotic ointment for the eye for a period of up to 2 weeks. At 4 weeks post surgery the dog should be showing no signs of pain or discomfort

Scent Work Notes

On behalf of the Scent Work Committee (and the National Scent Work Committee), I would like to congratulate the first Scent Work judges in Victoria – Sonja Needs, Angela Harvey Tennyson, Jo Bates, Talia Duell and Tammy Beattie who successfully completed all requirements of the Foundation Judges Training Program on 9th and 10th January 2021. I would also like to acknowledge the huge number of volunteers who assisted with these final assessments either as officials or as handler/dog teams. I have previously introduced Sonja, Angela and Talia who are also members of our Scent Work Committee. Jo and Tammy are also popular figures in the scent work community.

Jo Bates has been working with dogs in a professional category for over 10 years. She started out with volunteering at a local shelter and achieved her Certificate III in Dog Behaviour and Training. One of her placements during study was with Westernport Obedience Dog Club based at KCC Park. Among other topics studied during the course was the additional elective of scent work. It sparked a love of this sport in her own dogs and when the opportunity arose to take part in classes in 2014 it evolved into an even deeper passion.

Jo has trained and competed with two of her dogs in scent work competitions, achieving third and eighth in trial with her English Springer Spaniel, Murphy (2016 and in 2019) (pictured) and training her cavalier mix, Timber up to highest in trial (2018) for competitions run under another organisation. Jo’s passion in this sport led to her studying and becoming a certified nose work instructor (CNWI) in 2018.

Jo has run demo sessions and workshops in scent work and on behavioural topics for Mornington Obedience Dog Club, Mornington Peninsula Community Dog club, Peninsula Obedience Dog Club, and Berwick Obedience Dog Club. Jo runs a number of courses and fun days opportunities in scent work for practice and community fun and is always willing to talk further about any opportunities that might arise to share in her knowledge about this amazing sport that we can do with our dogs!

Tammy Beattie started scent work with her toy poodle Madison over 10 years ago, participating in another Foundation Judge’s (Angela Hervey-Tennyson) very first class at Southside Dog School in late 2010. She has continued participating and learning about scent work at many fun days, training days, demos and various seminars and courses, whilst learning, assisting instructors and instructing some courses herself.

Tammy has also trained two more of her own dogs in scent work, both border collies, and has competed at four trials of two

other organisations, achieving passes and titles with her two older dogs. She has been instrumental in organising the very first Australian ANKC Scent Work Trial to be held at Frankston Dog Obedience Club on the 8th March 2021.

Tammy is very active in the dog sports world, competing and instructing in obedience and rally, training and instructing tricks, and especially in agility where she instructs at two clubs and competes regularly. She holds committee office bearer positions at two Dogs Vic affiliates and a non-affiliated dog school as well as being the Chair of the Victorian Agility Committee. Tammy is very excited to be an ANKC Foundation Scent Work Judge and is looking forward to judging and competing as well as promoting the sport in Victoria.

Scent Work trials have been approved for Frankston on Labour Day (8th March), and a country weekend of trials at Bairnsdale (27th March) and Gippsland (28th March). All three trials will offer the four Novice level elements –Interior, Exterior, Containers and Vehicles and the target odour in each trial is Birch. Judges for those 3 trials will be Angela, Sonja, Tammy and Talia. Bendigo is also planning a trial for April and hopefully, by May, we will be able to offer Advanced level trials in Victoria. Our next article for the magazine should include some photos from the above-mentioned trials.

We had an overwhelming response from members wanting to attend the Information Sessions at KCC Park in February. The purpose of the sessions was to assist members ready for trialing to understand the Scent Work Rules and to educate affiliates who may be interested in running scent work trials. Sonja very kindly live-streamed and recorded the sessions for regional members and those unable to attend in person. If there are still members wanting this information, the Committee can provide further sessions later in the year.

OTEC

Notes - WRITTEN BY: DAWN HOWARD

At the end of January, a group of volunteers who regularly help at Friends of Obedience events got together to update the OTEC Obedience and Rally Equipment to meet with the requirements of the new Obedience and Rally rules. A huge thank you to the group who attended the Working Bee at KCC Park. They managed to complete the update of the Obedience and Rally equipment in one day.

Ian Woollard and Peter Howard were the expert planners and builders, Margaret Brookes and Marta McKenzie painted the Rally uprights. Peter and Ian, assisted by Dearne Jackson were the builders for the Obedience Broad Jumps. Dawn Ayton and Dawn Howard provided support. The wind was wild, so the sheds were used for shelter. Everyone worked very hard to get the job done. Dearne, Dawn A, Ian and the Howards didn’t get away until after 7pm. Long day, but the job is done in time for the coming trials. Thank you all.

Soon after, some well known Victorians set off for the Bermagui Trials. Dawn Ayton, Kim Houlden, Dawn Howard and Maribeth Murphy were judging.

Due to the Covid 19 situation with social spacing, i.e. Gazebos spaced out, limitations had to be placed on Obedience entries. There is limited space on the ground which has to fit 3 Conformation rings, plus a minimum of 5 Obedience rings. No room for more than one ring per Obedience class. Then due to an unprecedented number of entries, Obedience entries had to be closed off early. This meant that many Victorians, who were hesitating due to the concerns of the NSW border closing at the time, missed out when Obedience entries very quickly reached their limits.

Of the Victorians who did get their entries in, there was lots of nice work.

Maribeth and I were judging, so only got in one night. Maribeth’s two dogs did a lovely job and just missed a couple of things. The Howards’ Solo, Tri Ch Killara Splash the Cash managed to keep herself in the ring and got a score of 190.

Ian and Jenny Staniforth both did well, and Jenny got at least one pass. Janelle Convery and Rebecca Kearney did well in Open, Liza Powell and her Dobermann did a beautiful run in my Open ring for a score of 199. Marta McKenzie was in UDX for the first time and did some beautiful work.

Many more Victorians were in the Conformation shows and some came along each night, to support their Obedience friends.

At the time of deadline for the March magazine closing, there are still 2 Rally trials and 3 more Obedience trials to go. Good luck to those teams. News from them next month.

The competitors to a man were just relieved to have a competition again after so long. These were the first trials for 12 months for the Victorians, and for most NSW members and Queenslanders.

One of the striking things to me at these trials, is the very high general standard of work, plus the variety of breeds entered. Bill Patterson has two little French Bulldogs, one in UDX and one in Open, both work to a very high standard, as do Lynette Ferguson’s tiny little Pomeranians. The one in UD runs so fast It looks like a clockwork toy, it has so much fun.

Recently some of our clubs have, thankfully, been able to go back to normal training.

Also, some trials have been scheduled. More on that next month.

Keep safe everyone

AGILITY

WRITTEN BY: Caroline Bentley

Preparing for the 2021 Agility Season

2020 was a very different year for everybody, and that includes our dogs. As we start 2021, and our hopes are high for a return to trials, shows and training, I’m seeing a huge increase in clients really interested in increasing their dogs fitness and strength for return to work.

As we prepare to return to our much loved and missed activities, it’s important to take into consideration the requirement on our dog’s bodies for fitness and strength for our particular sport. Regardless of whether your dog spent lockdown marching the bitumen streets, training daily in the backyard, or just sitting on the couch.

If you participate in a speed sport, like agility and flyball, strength is of utmost importance to your canine athlete. Endurance sports require a lot more cardiac fitness, and showing an all-round level of muscle tone appropriate for your breed.

When doing an assessment on a dog, the first thing we check is their body condition. Any excess of fat is definitely a hindrance to any canine, so be very objective when taking a good look at your furry friend. If they’ve gained a few Covid pounds, make sure you engage appropriate nutritional advice for safe, effective weight loss.

Secondly, have a good look at their pads and nails. A lot of dogs did such a lot of pavement walking, their nails have been worn to bloody stumps, and their pads worn away. (ouch!) Conversely, dogs that spent lockdown on the couch, are coming in with incredibly long nails. This changes their posture and foot conformation. This length is of great concern, so have a good look at your dogs feet before you start them back in work, and see if you can’t get a lovely, manicured paw. Your dog’s posture will thank you!

It’s beneficial to take a baseline for your dog’s cardiac fitness, especially important if you are doing any kind of endurance sport. Invest in a cheap stethoscope, you can grab one from the chemist or a saddlery. Find out what your dog’s resting heart rate is (you can hear the heartbeat on the left side of the chest just behind the elbow) and compare it to their heart rate when you come back from a walk, and also immediately after faster training. It’s always valuable to be able to keep records,

and track your dog’s cardio fitness by heart rate, as this is a very quantifiable measure.

Canine conditioning is a popular activity for any dog (and owner) involved in dog sports. There is a lot of advice on the correct activities your dog should be doing to gain muscle in particular areas. I always liked err on the side of caution, and make sure I am starting the dog at the lowest difficulty challenge to get a baseline for their balance and strength. This will let me have a good idea about any weaknesses the dog may be carrying. This means that I have all my dog’s cool behaviours on a flat and stable surface, before I move them to any instability equipment. Here are some fabulous activities you can do to help strengthen your dog, that don’t require any expensive equipment:

Standing still - standing still with no shuffling feet, in a stack position, sounds easy right? Give it a try with your dog and see how long they can keep their feet still for. I like to build dogs up to 60 seconds of static standing, with great posture (square with a neutral topline) before I move on to other activities.

Walking backwards - backwards walking engages muscles with a different contraction than they would use for forward motion. Walking backwards is fabulous for proprioception, and also building antagonist muscle and core. I teach dogs to back up straight, with a neutral topline (so I don’t want their head too high) You can always use a fence or a corridor to help your dog learn to walk straight backwards, but if you’re finding they are always having difficulty, that might be a sign to get them checked out by a Canine Sports Veterinarian, or Physiotherapist/ Myotherapist/ Osteopath.

Sit and stands - once your dog can stand Square for 60 seconds, you can try teaching them a tuck sit. This is where their front feet stay still, and their back feet move into the sit by bringing the hind paws up close to the back of their front feet. We are looking for a straight topline, and even flexion through all of their hindlimb joints. We also want their back feet to be pointing straight forwards, not sticking out to the sides. We then get the dog to return to their stack position, by moving only their back feet, and stepping backwards into position. This is a great exercise for building hip flexor group muscles, which are often damaged in sports, so very important to keep strong.

Three legs stands - once your dog can stand Square and still for 60 seconds, you can challenge them a little further. Gently have them raise 1 foot, either by helping a little with your hand, or teaching them to raise it by themselves (my favourite). This can give clues as to which, if any, are your dogs weak leg that could do with a little more strength. If you’re noticing a significant difference, it might be time for a visit and check up with your Sports Vet or Physiotherapist/ Myotherapist.

Cookie stretches - as a cool down after activities, have your dog perform active stretches (stretches the dog perform themselves) You can use some food (or I prefer frozen yoghurt or cream cheese) to lure the dogs nose around to various points on its body, to stretch different

muscles.

Taking food to the point of the shoulder, rib cage, hip, and stifle, on both sides help with flexibility and lengthening muscle fibres. It’s also fabulous to be able to see if there is a difference between any particular spot or side that might give you an insight to early injury. It’s important when the dog is moving its nose to its shoulder, and ribs, that they do not move any legs. I do allow front legs to move when they reach for the hip and stifle, this allows for more lateral flexion of the spine, which is the aim of the exercise after all.

Any static range of motion (a position held with the dog not moving, with the intention to lengthen muscle fibre) should be performed after, not before work. It has been repeatedly shown that static stretching before exercise can actually cause weakness. Cookie stretches are a fabulous end to any training or fitness activity.

As dog sports life gradually returns to normal, the takehome message is to make sure you increase your exercise program gradually, and safely. Be sure to have your dog checked regularly by a sports medicine professional. Don’t be in a rush to resume your activities too soon, as injuries after time off are quite common.

Most importantly, enjoy your doggies - I’m sure we will never take competing with our dog for granted ever again!

Dear Dogs Victoria Members

• Members are exempt from the Code of Practice of Breeding and Rearing Businesses 2014, and instead are governed by the VCA Constitution, Rules and Regulations

As you may be aware, Dogs Victoria is the only canine body in Victoria approved by the Victorian Government as an ‘Applicable Organisation’ under provisions in the Domestic Animals Act 1994.

It is absolutely imperative that we safeguard our Applicable Organisation status which is due for renewal on 30 September 2021.

Benefits of Applicable Organisation status include:

To ensure we continue to hold a trusted position with all Victorians, Dogs Victoria must uphold our legislative responsibilities. This includes assuring the Victorian Government that our members are complying with our Constitution, Rules and Regulations through several measures including communication, education and field inspections.

I know our members want this process to be fair and transparent. Therefore I would like to announce that moving forward field inspections will place emphasis on educating members on the VCA Regulations, in particular Part 20.1 Code of Practice and 20.8 Code of Practice For Breeding Animal Health Management. The selection process will be guided at a Committee level and as such it has been decided to prioritise a geographic region for efficiency purposes. The first region is the Macedon Ranges Shire Council area due to several support requests. Members in and around this area should expect to have a field inspection very soon.

I ask all members for their support and cooperation in this regard to protect our reputation and ensure we safeguard our Applicable Organisation status.

Kind regards

Nothing like my previous years on Management. I have myself and also members have expressed concern and confusion on the path taken by MC over the past years. Members are feeling disenfranchised with the lack of consultation, little or no transparency in action, disrespect toward members privileges being slowly eroded. There has been bad decisions in the past and there are some still haunting DV which will take time to eliminate. In giving me your vote for Vice President, I advocate and work relentlessly toward open and consultative management of our organisation, where members voice and opinions. are valued and the best interest of the members is at the forefront of the decision making.

We have had some many wonderful breeds in our lives over the years including Labrador, Kelpie, Rottweiler, Boarder Collie, Cavaliers, Pugs, Pekingese and now predominately Bichon Frise. Although I do not show I feel that this is a Huge advantage as I have no hidden agendas and have absolutely no need to cater or panda to any particular groups or “clicks”. My contribution to Dogs Victoria should I get the opportunity is to promote “Fairness” and provide stability and a voice of reason at committee meetings. I will always endeavor to see both sides of the coin.

In conclusion I ask you to seriously consider me as a truly independent candidate, that will push and fight for “Fairness”, co-operation and stability, and a voice for those who need to be heard within Dogs Victoria.

After completing my H.S.C I spent 2 years as a laborer. I then started a job as a storeman in a local supermarket and worked there for a number of years becoming manager after several years. I liked it so much I purchased it from the previous owner. At the height of our success we employed over 90 staff and had a turnover in excess of $12 Million p.a. During this time, I was on the board of the Hurstbridge Branch of the Bendigo Bank and I was instrumental in opening a second branch in Diamond Creek. I was also inaugural President of the Diamond Creek Chamber of commerce working closely with local government.

Over the years I have served on many committees and am currently serving as a committee member on the Lancefield Kennel Club, Central Highlands Kennel Club and Dogs Victoria Open Show Committee.

Going back in time, I remember when the KCC had in excess of 30,000 members. Unfortunately, we are now struggling with an extremely low membership.

Over the years I have served on many committees and am currently serving as a committee member on the Lancefield Kennel Club, Central Highlands Kennel Club and Dogs Victoria Open Show Committee.

It appears to me that the pure-bred dog numbers are falling dramatically. However, the new trend of “designer cross breeds” are becoming popular. The breeders of these dogs are not facing the same restrictions that we are. Councils in some cases are being infiltrated by the anti-dog lobby. They are attempting to stop our members by interfering with their breeding programmes. I believe that most of our members are breeding healthy dogs and conducting extensive health checks. Public perception of our members could benefit from a professional lobbyist.

Candidate nominating for: Member of the Management Committee

Member of the Management Committee

- Open Forums - formalize members to voice their concerns addressed by MC. Additionally, willing to assist where possible elevate DV to greater levels.

I am offering my business management skills (I currently run 3 companies) and experience in the dog world to assist in any way I can to protect our organization and enhance its public profile.

LEE, Dianne

- KCC Park - facility improvements improved access to facilities

- Junior Handlers - as the provide support and training further develop in our hobby

Going back in time, I remember when the KCC had in excess of 30,000 members. Unfortunately, we are now struggling with an extremely low membership.

It appears to me that the pure-bred dog numbers are falling dramatically. However, the new trend of “designer cross breeds” are becoming popular. The breeders of these dogs are not facing the same restrictions that we are. Councils in some cases are being infiltrated by the anti-dog lobby. They are attempting to stop our members by interfering with their breeding programmes. I believe that most of our members are breeding healthy dogs and conducting extensive health checks. Public perception of our members could benefit from a professional lobbyist.

They should tell our story and advise the public that a pure-bred healthy dog comes with breeder support and health checks and warn them against buying a highpriced designer dog from the back of a car.

I believe that a strong capable Committee is our best chance of reversing this pure-bred anti-dog trend. I am offering my business management skills (I currently run 3 companies) and experience in the dog world to assist in any way I can to protect our organization and enhance its public profile.

I have been an active member of the dog world all my life and am well known be being outspoken, however, this is guided by my passion to ensure our hobby thrives for the better. Additionally, I am an ANKC judge, a member of 3 committees on 3 separate clubs, VCA REP and Steward.

Candidate nominating for:

Schipperke Club as well as the Conformation and Legislation committees

In the 4 years since l took over as Chairperson of the VCA Open Show Committee the entries have increased threefold cementing its place in the Event calendar. These shows are now the training ground for new exhibitors, new stewards and trainee judges.

In this COVID effected climate most countries and organisations have taken a financial hit and DV is no exception – with no events for nearly 10 months and an uncertain future we need to take control of our finances if we are to keep our two world class venues.

I am a passionate dog person, All breeds judge, long time breeder of American cocker and Sussex Spaniels and now Schipperkes and want our hobby to continue for the next generation – and that is up to us!

The most important part of our hobby is our volunteers – they are what keeps DV running be it on our committees or on the many committees that run events weekly and we need to value them more and keep them in the loop with the office and Management.

I have decided to stand again for a third term (I received one year in 2016 and a full 4 year term in 2017) as l feel there is still work to be done to get DV to its rightful position as the ‘go -to’ organisation for Dogs in Victoria. There is work to be done on and in the actual organisation as well as our relationships with other stakeholders as well as the State Government and Local Councils. As a member of the newly reinvigorated Legislation committee and someone who has been involved since the 2017 Bill and worked with various political parties I feel l have a better handle on the current situation than most.

We are currently behind the eight ball with regard to the Planning Legislation but so too are all the other Companion Animal organisations in Victoria and we need to combine our resources and fight or it will be the end of breeding dogs in Victoria as we know it. If, we are going to win this, we need a political lobbyist and not just a CE to take our fight to Spring Street.

20.5.4. Affiliate committee personnel, show managers or show secretaries who facilitate/d or interact/ed with appointed judges shall not handle dogs under those judges nor participate at the competition area in such a way as to compromise the perception of fairness.

20.5.4.1 Affiliate committee personnel, show managers or show secretaries involved in facilitating or interacting with judges in a cluster of shows will not handle dogs under any of those judges nor participate at the competition area in such a way as to compromise the perception of fairness.

4.4.4 Except as provided for in these Regulations any member selling, supplying or disposing of a dog to another person must supply to that person the signed registration certificate duly completed with the name and of the person and the transfer date, within one calendar month of disposal unless Management Committee otherwise directs. 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. This certificate must be presented at the time of registration of the litter resulting from this mating. 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)

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)

EXTREME WEATHER

CONFORMATION

Part 7 Regulations - Conformation

7.6.8 Extreme Weather Conformation

This regulation takes effect from and including Effective 15 March 2021

HEAT

The Extreme Heat Policy applies to all conformation shows held during the period declared by the Victorian State Government to be Summertime Daylight Savings, usually between October of one year and March of the following year.

NOTE 1: For the purpose of this regulation, the “forecast temperature for the location” is to be the temperature referred to on the Elders Weather Website 48 hours prior to the scheduled start of the show. Where the exact location is not noted, the temperature is to be taken from the closest noted location.

NOTE 2: This Regulation has been reviewed in light of the technological advances in the communication of

temperature information, noting that the Elders Weather Website now provides hourly temperature forecasts and show committees must apply these hourly forecasts during the conduct of shows to ensure the temperatures do not exceed 36 degrees Celsius. At any point during the running of a show where the temperature forecast reaches or exceeds 36 degrees Celsius, the show must immediately be ceased.

1. CANCELLATION OF ALL EVENTS: A show is to be cancelled where any one or more of the following apply:

1.1 the forecast temperature for the location in which the show is to be held is 39 degrees C or above;

1.2 the temperature reaches 36 degrees Celsius during the course of the show;

1.3 the fire danger rating for the district where the show is to be held is Severe, Extreme or Code Red;

1.4 a state-wide fire ban has been ordered;

1.5 Victoria has been declared as a State of Disaster or a State of

Emergency and/or

1.6 the Environment Protection Agency has issued an alert for air quality as Extremely Hazardous.

2. TEMPERATURE BETWEEN 36 DEGREES AND 39 DEGREES CELSIUS

Where the temperature is forecast to be between 36 degrees C and 39 degrees C, the following apply:

2.1 the show may be cancelled;

2.2 the show may be rescheduled to commence at 8.00pm where the forecast temperature is below 36 degrees Celsius at the commencement, and where the exhibition area has lighting and is available for use, and exhibitors must be advised they are not to arrive at the location or set-up prior to 6.30pm;

2.3 the show may be rescheduled to commence at 7.00am where in the reasonable consideration of the show committee, the judging will be completed before the temperature reaches 36 degrees Celsius;

2.4 the show may be moved to an

EXTREME WEATHER CONFORMATION

indoor venue if the venue has cooling/airflow equipment and in the reasonable expectation of the show committee the temperature inside the venue will remain below 36 degrees Celsius during the running of the show;

2.5 application may be made by the show secretary directly to the Management Committee to have the show moved to the following day if:

2.5.1 the venue is available and 2.5.2 the forecast temperature of the area is less than 36 degrees Celsius and 2.5.3 there is no competing scheduled event.

2.6 If approved by the Management Committee the affiliate will notify exhibitors of the re-scheduling of the show by posting a notice on all relevant social media platforms. The Chief Executive or delegate will cause a notice to be posted on all Dogs Victoria official social media platforms.

2.7 Where a show is held under 2.2 to 2.5, the show manager must monitor the temperature on the Elders Weather Website and cancel the show should the temperature reach or exceed 36 degrees Celsius. The secretary of the affiliate, or its delegate, must notify the Chief Executive of Dogs Victoria by telephone and email when a decision has been made to cancel a show. Once confirmed by the Chief Executive, the affiliate will notify all exhibitors of the cancellation of the show by posting a notice on all relevant social media platforms. The Chief Executive or delegate will cause a notice to be posted on all Dogs Victoria official social media platforms.

3 SUBSEQUENT REDUCTION IN TEMPERATURE

3.1 Where 48 hours prior to the commencement of the show the temperature was forecast to be 39 degrees Celsius or above, requiring the cancellation of a show, but as a result of a cool change the forecast is amended to be below 36 degrees Celsius at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled commencement of the show, the show secretary may make an application to the Management Committee to reinstate the show.

4 STATUS OF AWARDS WHERE SHOW IS CANCELLED

4.1 Where a show has commenced but is cancelled due to the temperature rising to 36 degrees Celsius or above, all awards made will stand.

5 REFUND OF ENTRY FEES

5.1 Where a show is cancelled either before or after commencement due to extreme heat, no refund of entry fees will be made.

6. DOG LEVIES

6.1 Where the affiliate has cancelled a show before or after its commencement, the affiliate must submit a copy of the catalogue and pay all levies due to Dogs Victoria within 14 days of the scheduled event date.

7. AFFILIATE RESPONSIBILITIES

The following are recommendations for affiliate secretaries with a scheduled show between December and February:

7.1 develop a contingency plan (for example, ascertain whether your event venue is available early in the morning/in the evening/the following day);

7.2 include a clause in all Judges Contracts stating that the appointment is contingent upon the judge elect being able to alter his/ her arrangements should the show be moved to the evening/early morning or the following day;

7.3 ensure that accommodation and meals can be made available to judges required to alter their stay due to the operation of the Extreme Weather Policy;

7.4 insure travel expenses;

7.5 where an affiliate conducts only one show on a date, do not schedule day shows to commence after 9am or

7.6 do not schedule night shows to commence before 7pm.

Fire Danger

If the CFA fire danger rating for the district where the show is to be held is Extreme or Code Red then:

The show must be cancelled

Gale Force Winds / Thunderstorms / Flood

If gale force winds, thunderstorms or floods are predicted for the district where the show is to be held then:

(a) The show MAY be cancelled or (b) A wait and see approach may be adopted and

1. If the show proceeds, judging must stop during thunder storms or periods of heavy rain.

2. Judging may continue without a lunch break.

3. If possible the show may be moved inside.

4. If the committee of the affiliate deem the show to be unsafe once it has commenced, the show must be

cancelled.

5. Should a show be cancelled after commencement all awards will stand.

Procedures for Affiliates and exhibitors to follow:

1. The forecast temperature for the district where the show is to be held will be as advised on the Elders Weather Website (www.eldersweather.com.au) at 10 am two days prior to the show. The Fire Danger Rating for the district where the show is to be held will be as advised on the CFA website (www.cfa.vic.gov.au) at 10 am two days prior to the show. In the event of an official declaration by the CFA the day prior to the show of Extreme or Code Red the show must be cancelled.

2. The gale force winds, thunderstorm or flood predictions for the district where the show is to be held will be as advised on the Elders Weather website (www.eldersweather.com.au) at 10 am two days prior to the show.

3. Where multiple shows are scheduled over a cluster of a number of days, then only those day(s), where the temperature is 36 degrees or higher, or the fire danger rating is Extreme or Code Red or gale force winds, thunderstorms or floods are predicted, will be affected.
