COVER

TC Laci’s CSI v. Kanix MW VCD1, RE, BN, ME Vegas was born 12/15/2004, a Christmas Baby, she came to America smuggled in the womb of her mother as she was imported from England in whelp. She grew up with expectations for her to be the foundation of a new direction for Laci mini wires. A commanding presence in the conformation ring, she quickly earned her conformation Championship at 14 months old. Vegas loved to show in the breed ring, as Cindi and she walked into the ring her whole demeanor would change.

She commanded people to “look at me!”

Researchers at Clemson University aim to identify a genetic marker for megaesophagus in Dachshunds. Leigh Anne Clark, PhD., assistant professor in the Department of Genetics and Biochemistry, is hoping to apply information learned about the disease in German Shepherd Dogs to Dachshunds.

Megaesophagus is a congenital condition usually diagnosed during weaning, when puppies are 6 to 8 weeks old, as solid food is introduced. Coughing and regurgitation of food and water are common.

by Charlene Dunn and Cindi Todd Vegas is a wonderful tracker; several people had commented on her work ethic, but Cindi decided TD was as far as she was willing to take her.

This is where I come in. I am considered the “2nd mother”. Cindi was leery of Vegas coming to the Dunn household. It was primarily a Labrador household, with one Border Collie/Basset mix.

It took a lot of convincing to assure Cindi that Vegas would not become a “toy” to the Labradors. Our relationship started with “weekend visits”, until finally we all convinced Cindi that Vegas was not only “safe” with the labs, but she and Charlie (my Chocolate Lab) had formed a special bond.

I’ve had handlers grumble to me that their dog didn’t “Q” because they popped out of the weaves. Or, they didn’t “make time” because of lollygagging through the weave poles. Another big excuse for a dachshund is “sniffing.” He had to stop and smell the scent on the poles! Honestly, I cringe to watch a dachshund tentatively and slowly creeping through the poles. Or, how about when the handler is motioning with their hand one pole at a time, showing the dog where to go?

Digging Woodchucks with Dachshunds

Standard dachshunds can grab and draw, or pull, a groundhog out of a tunnel if it isn’t too tightly buried. If the soil is dense and the groundhog decides to bury itself, even a grown man has trouble pulling it free. A big dachshund can yank on a buried groundhog for a good while before it can be dislodged. Above ground, a good standard dachshund ought to be able to subdue a groundhog if they get the right bite.

Rosie was a very special Dachshund. She had empathy like no other.

In 2009 I fell and broke my anke at home trying to avoid puppies. She heard my scream, came over and licked me. Our Dachshunds were and are very sweet, but she was the sweetest of them all.

We miss her dearly.

DACHSHUND MEGAESOPHAGUS RESEARCH FOCUSES ON FINDING GENETIC MARKER When her 4-week-old miniature Dachshund puppy “Piper” was diagnosed with megaesophagus, Pam Giles of Des Moines, Iowa, began learning all she could about the potentially fatal congenital condition. Although the miniature Dachshund enthusiast had competed with her dogs in conformation, obedience, rally, agility, earthdog, and field trials for nearly 10 years, she had never heard of the condition.

The first thing Giles did was to wean Piper so the puppy could be fed in an upright position.

Veterinarians generally recommend feeding affected dogs small, frequent meals from an elevated or upright position. Feeding them as vertically as possible to the ground allows gravity to pull food down to the stomach.

Megaesophagus is caused when the esophagus, the long tube connecting the

pharynx to the stomach, fails to move food into the stomach. When normal dogs eat, their food is pushed into the stomach by a process known as peristalsis. As the muscular walls of their esophagus progressively contract from the upper esophagus, food is worked downward to the stomach. The swallowing sequence is completed when the sphincter muscle relaxes to allow food to enter the stomach.

Dachshunds are among more than 30 breeds genetically predisposed to megaesophagus. No statistics are available on the prevalence of the condition in the breed, so the Dachshund Club of America is planning to conduct a health survey in the near future to gather information from owners and breeders.

Charlotte Borghardt, chair of the parent club’s Health Committee, says, “We have only anecdotal information about megaesophagus in Dachshunds. We need to learn how common it is so breeders can find a solution.”

Inconsistent Mode of Inheritance Researchers at Clemson University aim to identify a genetic marker for megaesophagus in Dachshunds. Leigh Anne Clark, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Genetics and Biochemistry, is hoping to apply information learned about the disease in German Shepherd Dachshund Club of America

Dogs to Dachshunds.

A study of 180 German Shepherd Dogs, which included 18 affected dogs, identified a region likely to contain a gene involved in the disorder.

“We found in German Shepherd Dogs that megaesophagus is not a simple autosomal disorder,” Clark says. “There may be multiple genes and environmental factors at play because not all dogs with genetic markers for this disease show clinical signs.”

The goal is to develop a genetic test that will identify affected dogs and those that carry the gene(s) for megaesophagus. “This will enable breeders to plan matings that will not produce affected dogs,” Clark says.

In future genetic research, Clark plans to study DNA samples from Dachshunds using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chip analysis. Samples from affected and healthy dogs will be used in a genome-wide analysis to help identify candidate genes that may contain the mutation. Comparing the SNP profiles between the two groups of dogs will allow researchers to focus on a small area of the canine genome. The regions of difference help to distinguish the location of disease genes.

“It appears the disease is inherited differently among different breeds, thus it may be caused by mutations in different genes or by different mutations in the same gene,” Clark says. “The

mode of inheritance is determined by the mutation and its effect on the gene. Once a marker is known, learning the inheritance pattern should come easily.”

In addition to Dachshund and German Shepherd Dog, other breeds affected by megaesophagus include Great Dane, Miniature Schnauzer, Rhodesian Ridgeback, and Wire Fox Terrier. In Miniature Schnauzers, the disease is believed to have an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance, and in Wire Fox Terriers the inheritance is believed to be autosomal recessive. Although the inheritance pattern is not known in Rhodesian Ridgebacks, the disease was ranked first among gastrointestinal disorders in a 2001 breed healthy survey that indicated an 81 percent mortality rate.

A Primary & Secondary Condition Megaesophagus is a congenital condition usually diagnosed during weaning, when puppies are 6 to 8 weeks old, as solid food is introduced. Coughing and regurgitation of food and water are common. Since ingested food moves into the stomach only as a result of gravity, it often stays in the esophagus from several minutes to hours. This causes the tube to dilate or stretch, which explains why the condition is named “megaesophagus.”

Megaesophagus also occurs secondary to conditions such as myasthenia gravis, a neuromuscular disease that causes muscle weakness and fatigue, and Addison’s disease, a disorder caused by insufficient production of adrenal hormones. It can be confused with geriatric onset laryngeal paralysis polyneuropathy, a progressive nerve disease that causes regurgitation.

A definitive diagnosis usually is made from radiographs taken after a dog has undergone a barium swallow test containing a contrast agent to help make the abnormality easy to recognize.

Radiographs of the esophagus help to distinguish the condition from diseases that mimic megaesophagus and require different therapies.

MEGAESOPHAGUS An Overview from the AKC Canine Health Foundation http://www.akcchf.org/canine-health/your-dogshealth/disease-information/megaesophagus.html Megaesophagus is a condition in which the muscles of the esophagus lose their tone and are no longer able propel food into the stomach.

The esophagus is a tube which connects the mouth to the stomach. In normal function wavelike contractions, called peristalsis, move the food which enters the esophagus down into the stomach. When megaesophagus occurs the esophagus dilates, or enlarges, due to the lack of muscle tone. This causes food to just sit in the esophagus, unable to continue into the stomach to be digested.

Mildly affected dogs Canine Esophagus may not show signs Material in the esophagus can other than occasional “leak” into the trachea and regurgitation or go down into the lungs. coughing. Moderately to severely affected dogs may suffer from repeated regurgitation, malnutrition, excessive salivation, and physical Lung wasting, with frequent Epiglottis coughing or wheezing.

Dachshund Update newsletter.!

Although any breed of dog can develop megaesophagus there are a few breeds which seem to be at a higher risk for it. These include the Great Dane, Irish Setter, Newfoundland, German Shepherd, Shar Pei, Labrador Retriever, and Miniature Schnauzer. If you suspect your dog may have megaesophagus contact your local veterinarian.

Causes of Megaesophagus Megaesophagus can be a congenital defect or acquired as an adult. In cases where megaesophagus presents in young dogs it can be caused by vascular ring anomalies, a persistent right aortic arch, or it may be idiopathic (unknown cause). In acquired cases seen in adult dogs megaesophagus can be primary or secondary. The cause of primary megaesophagus is idiopathic, while secondary megaesophagus is a result of another disease.

The most common cause of secondary Dachshund Club of America

Autumn 2015

megaesophagus is the disease myasthenia gravis. Secondary megaesophagus due to an underlying disease is not normally seen; in most cases there is no known cause for the development of megaesophagus.

Symptoms of Megaesophagus The most common symptom of megaesphagus is regurgitation. It is important to understand the difference between regurgitation and vomiting. Vomiting is an active process associated with retching and heaving, where the body forcefully removes contents from the stomach. Regurgitation is a passive process where food or water basically just falls back out of the mouth or throat with no warning.

Regurgitation is associated with megaesophagus because food is not able to be moved into the stomach and so it sits in the esophagus until it eventually is removed from continued on next page...

Megaesophagus continued from page 9 the body by the process of regurgitation.

Another sign can be weight loss. Because food is not making it to the stomach it cannot be broken down or the nutrients absorbed. This can result in malnourishment and weight loss.

A very common complication associated with megaesophagus is aspiration pneumonia.

Because food remains in the esophagus it can easily get into the lungs. This causes pneumonia which can be fatal if not treated.

This is most often the cause of death in dogs with megaesophagus.

Diagnosing Megaesophagus Megaesophagus is diagnosed by radiographs.

The x-ray can show air, food, and/or fluids in a dilated esophagus. In some cases a contrast study may be done to enhance the image to make a more conclusive diagnosis. In the study barium is given with the dog's food and then an x-ray is taken to show the structure of the esophagus.

Radiographs can also be used to determine if aspiration pneumonia is present and too look for underlying causes.

that works well for your dog stick with it.

Feedings should be given in frequent, small meals as opposed to few, large meals. Elevated feeding should be practiced as this uses gravity to pull the food into the stomach keeping it from just settling in the esophagus. This can be done by using a step ladder or a Bailey chair.

To use the step ladder food should be placed on the 3rd or 4th step. The dog’s back legs should remain on the floor. This places the dog in a position to allow gravity to work. A Bailey chair is a specially designed chair that allows the dog to sit upright (like a begging position) while eating. In whatever set up you choose or find that works best for your dog, always keep them in the elevated position for at least 10 minutes to allow all the food to make its way into the stomach. Another option for managing megaesophagus is to have a feeding tube inserted. In this practice a tube is surgically placed into the stomach allowing the animal to be fed while bypassing the esophagus completely.

specific areas around the esophagus, antacids help minimize the damage to the esophagus, and nausea medication may help the dog feel better overall. Cisapride has been known to be helpful in cases of megaesophagus but is not available in the United States. One should always remember that medical therapy may or may not be helpful to your dog.

Care for dogs with Megaesophagus Caring for dogs with megaesophagus requires changes in your dog’s eating habits, but in most cases will allow your dog to live a long, happy life. Managing the condition involves starting the treatment techniques listed above.

• Step One: find the type of food that works for your dog the best.

• Step Two: determine the easiest elevated position for your dog to eat in and stay in for at least 10 minutes after eating.

• Step Three: feed small, frequent meals.

Along with the feeding adjustments, owners must be able to recognize the signs of aspiration pneumonia. This potential complication of megaesophagus can be fatal if not treated, and is the most common cause of death in megaesophagus dogs. Signs of this pneumonia include coughing, fever, and lethargy. For more information about the disease itself and how to manage it you can join the yahoo group dedicated to megaesophagus.!

Treating Megaesophagus There is currently no cure for megaesophagus and surgery has not proven to be helpful in treating the Barium X-ray condition. Medical therapy has been helpful in some cases and shown no effects in others. The main treatment method for the condition is life style There are a few management. Food consistency should be the medications which may be first issue addressed. No one type of food has given to treat been found to be the best. You must determine what works best for your dog. Some options are megaesophagus.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF LOWELL FLACHS May 3, 1933 - August 5, 2014 The world has lost one of its finest dachshund breeders!

I have not been active in the ring in several years and I recently learned of Lowell’s passing.

I am extremely proud to say that Lowell and Alberta Flachs are the best friends I ever had in the world of dogs.

The Flachs’ became fast friends when they learned I had purchased my first longhaired dachshund; a red miniature named Rudy who had originally been sold to Virginia Steiner in Ohio back in the early ‘80s.

The late Hannelore Heller exhibited Rudy to perfection and he quickly became Champion Steiner’s Rudy V Flachshund ML. I was hooked!

Lowell always had time for this pesky novice, freely sharing his excellent advice and knowledge of dachshunds anytime I called. Alberta was equally generous as well.

From there I either co-owned, co-bred or purchased outright several dogs from their kennel over the years; usually sight unseen, and they never disappointed in the dachshunds they sent my way.

I would like to share with you the story of perhaps one of their best known dogs.

A few weeks before Thanksgiving in 1995, Alberta called with the news that she and Lowell wanted to send to me, as a gift, a red standard dog she modestly stated they felt was “a nice boy.”

He was flown into the Raleigh airport and when I opened his crate this beautiful, friendly dog bounded out. I was said to have exclaimed “YOU are a REMBRANDT!” The name stuck and the rest is history.

Champion Flachshund’s Rembrandt L, (ROMX pending as of this writing) amassed 112 Best of Variety wins, Multiple specialty wins, 9 Hound Group Ones, 3 Hound Group Twos, 5 Hound Group Threes, and 6 Hound Group Fours in limited showing and with rarely ever having been advertised.

He was, indeed, a VERY “nice boy” Rembrandt had been bred only 7 times and produced 18 Champion get when he was tragically lost at the age of 9 to liver cancer on December 30, 2004.

Rest in peace, Lowell. You were loved and respected by ALL who knew you; but especially by me.

By the numbers; a Champion is not earned as points, or wins, or defeats. A Champion is born.

It is a work ethic, a desire to compete, and of course the “looks” to do it all!

TC Laci’s CSI v. Kanix MW VCD1, RE, BN, ME began her life as an immigrant. Born 12/15/2004, a Christmas Baby, she came to America smuggled in the womb of her mother as she was imported from England in whelp. She grew up with expectations for her to be the foundation of a new direction for Laci mini wires. A commanding presence in the conformation ring, she quickly earned her conformation Championship at 14 months old. Vegas loved to show in the breed ring, as Cindi and she walked into the ring her whole demeanor would change. She commanded people to “look at me!” Unfortunately she had to be spayed early.

From the Breed ring to the Field, Vegas met her next challenge with vigor. Vegas was not only of sound body structure, but she was an excellent hunter. She quickly excelled in the field to earn her Field Championship at the Houston Dachshund Club Field Trial. Vegas retired from Field Trials after earning her FC with 55.25 points. at 2 years + of age. Not bad since Cindi only went to an average of 2.5 field trials a year.

According to Cindi, Vegas’ next accomplishment should have been Agility. Cindi had Vegas trained in obedience, rally and agility, which they had begun to show, but due to Vegas’ need to feed the crowd, they retired to Tracking. In Tracking, you must first be certified by a judge in order to compete, and then you must earn a Tracking Dog (TD) title, a Tracking Dog Excellent (TDX) title, and a Variable Surface Tracking (VST) title to be considered a Champion Tracker (CT).

Vegas is a wonderful tracker; several people had commented on her work ethic, but Cindi decided TD was as far as she was willing to take her.

This is where I come in. I am considered the “2nd mother”. Cindi was leery of Vegas coming to the Dunn household. It was primarily a Labrador household, with one Border Collie/Basset mix.

It took a lot of convincing to assure Cindi that Vegas would not become a “toy” to the Labradors. Our relationship started with “weekend visits”, until finally we all convinced Cindi that Vegas was not only “safe” with the labs, but she and Charlie (my Chocolate Lab) had formed a special bond.

As you can see Vegas forgot about her “Dachshund Ways” and became a miniature Labrador. Whatever Charlie did, she thought she could do as

well. I remember calling Cindi on a weekend visit and asking if Vegas swam. Cindi said no, and then I sent the pictures of her following Charlie straight out into the water after bumpers and ducks, SWIMMING. Wanting to build a better bond with her, I entered her in a local UKC Rally show on one of our weekend visits. Charlie earned his URO1 and Vegas earned 2 legs, missing a title due to a “cute” mishap, on a down walk around sign she thought it would be more fun to down, roll over instead of stay. Oh well.

I took Vegas with Charlie and I to Colorado while I was still only “handling” her on the weekends tracking. She and Charlie both earned their TDX that weekend. Our next challenge would be VST and a permanent change of address.

In January of 2010, Vegas became a permanent member of the Dunn household. We began working in earnest on her obedience. She and Shadow (another Labrador) would practice their stays in the front room while I made dinner on most nights. Thanks to Cindi, she had an awesome recall and her attention in heeling was good. All I had to do was put the pieces together for Novice. She placed in every show and quickly earned her CD along with her UKC Rally and AKC Rally Obedience titles. All this while training for her VST. In June of 2011 we entered our first VST test. Once again she proved her abilities; moving at a brisk pace to complete the track. While tracking is not a timed event, it usually takes about 60 minutes to complete a VST track. We finished in 41 minutes to earn her Champion Tracker (CT) title and making her a Triple Champion.

Conformation complete, Field complete, Tracking complete, Rally Complete, Obedience underway, we turned our attentions to Earthdog.

Cindi handled her to her Junior and Senior titles, with me joking that I was unpaid kennel help as it seemed she would work in the tunnels for Cindi only. I did manage to earn a leg on her Senior and was privileged to handle her for her Master title (there is no “Champion” title for Earthdog), but it was definitely a “team Vegas” effort to achieve her Earthdog titles.

Due to an unfortunate issue in the Open Obedience ring, we began to look at ways to boost Vegas’ confidence and allow her to compete again.

Autumn 2015

Cindi suggested I finish her Agility titles. Funny how that “I” is so important. I do not care for Agility. I know I can hear everyone screaming now. It is a preference. I have seen too many dogs hurt and owners allowing bad behavior to continue all in the name of Agility.

OK… Off my soapbox.

In the spring of 2014, I began taking Agility lessons. Not for Vegas, but for me. I needed to know how to run her. So by August we were a pretty OK team, but the question remained would she stay with me in the ring, as she hadn’t done for Cindi. We “debuted” at the Texas Shootout which is a charity event for dog cancer research. We did good, bringing home several ribbons. So now the real test, can we keep it together when “legs” are on the line? The answer was yes and no. Our first show was a bust in Jumpers but earned us a Standard leg. Counting the leg Cindi had gotten on Vegas we were now even; 1 and 1. In December, we pulled off what some people say is a feat that most experienced handlers rarely see.

We went “double Q” for 3 straight days, earning Vegas’ Novice Standard and Novice Jumper titles, and making her the 15th 7-way Dachshund.

This means she has titled in every sport Dachshunds can compete in.

That weekend we also earned legs in each of her Open Agility and in May of this year we completed her Open titles. We are still working on our Master titles, at almost 11 she is still jumping normal height and beating the course times.

So, what about Obedience? We continue to work on being inside a ring.

Vegas much prefers working outdoors. It is not as scary as an indoor ring. In the South there are not a lot of outside shows, so don’t be surprised if you see us competing up North at an outside event.!

The Juniors made $1892 in the raffle this year. To date we have netted a total of $1357.90, which takes into account expenses, including the Westminster stipend. Thank you to the Juniors for helping set up, run, and promote the raffle. Thank you to everyone who donated items or bought tickets supporting the Juniors.

2015 Raffle Donations courtesy of the following: Monika & Paul Martin Diane Poranski June Mann Connie & Gary Fisher Betsy Johnson Kathleen Doi Cheryl Snedaker-Sims Anne Schmidt Gayle Wigylus Noelle Hanson Frances H. Forrester Randy Eltringham Joyce Warren And many others! Thank you all!

On Thursday after sweeps we went to the Tennessee Aquarium. The butterfly exhibit was a big hit. Several of the kids were butterfly whisperers and were able to get butterflies to land on them. Because you can’t go wrong with pizza, we had dinner at the Mellow Mushroom followed by dessert at Ben & Jerry’s ice cream shop before taking the trolley back to the Choo Choo. Thank you to our chaperones, Brenna Potash, Terri Frenia, and Trina Caird for helping out.

After judging ended on Friday, Adam Peterson and Arvind DeBraganca were kind enough to share their time and expertise with the junior handlers this year during a handling workshop. Since we didn’t have any novice handlers, the focus was on polishing one’s presentation.

If any Juniors have any suggestions for future educational workshops or fundraising ideas, please contact me at either kkostic1@comcast.net or triremegh@Hotmail.com.

Responsible Breeding We’re breeders – why are we anti-breeding?

Good breeders never breed back-to-back.

I’ve been in the breed fifteen years and have bred only three litters.

Did you see that Harriet had FIVE litters this year? I guess she’s our new puppy mill, huh?

Ladies, check out Gloria’s new litter – and you know she’s still got those four-month-olds from the last one!

I’m glad to see puppy registrations decline; we should all be breeding less.

Spend more than five minutes in a dog forum on Facebook, or hang out ringside with any breeders, and you’ll see that these are close to direct quotes. The only thing two breeders can agree on is that a third breeder is doing something wrong, and the easiest target is when the third breeder has broken the sacred barrier and is (gasp!) breeding IN VOLUME. We are making a TRAGIC mistake. We have forgotten that the word CAREFULLY and the word SELDOM are not the same word.

We know we’re supposed to be careful in how we breed. But somehow that has become twisted into “The better a breeder you are, the less you breed.” I’ve seen people actually brag, trying to one-up each other on how few breedings they’ve done, with the clear implication that breeding almost never means you are more responsible than someone who breeds regularly.

Here’s the truth: Breeding dogs requires on-the-job training. No matter how much you research, learn, ask, and listen, it won’t make sense until you’re looking at a litter of puppies and watching them grow. And you cannot understand keeping traits through generations unless you have generations to keep traits through.

Here’s another truth: We’re badly, badly hurting for well-bred purebreds in this country and around the world. Awful purebreds are everywhere, but most people go their entire lives without meeting a well-bred dog.

They literally have no idea that a dog can look “like that.” Beautifully built, groomed, and trained dogs gather crowds bigger than the ones around the elephant cage. Vets can go years between seeing dogs that should be bred (which is why many of them hate us so much). That’s OUR FAULT. We breed our self-righteous trickle of dogs, which go right into the yards of other show breeders, and then we scream when our rights are taken away. Well, lady, how are they supposed to be on our side when they’ve never seen a dog except from a breeder that should be shut down?

Here’s one more truth: Most of your breeding efforts are going to fail – that’s the nature of breeding living things. So you may have to do it over and over and over, discarding entire pedigrees after you’ve watched them produce, beginning new ones, purchasing new dogs, neutering others.

Things START to make sense after (I think) about your fifth litter if you’re very very smart and after your tenth if you’re a normal breeder. In the breeding programs I’ve watched, that’s when things start to move forward instead of just flailing around, because that’s when the breeder starts to understand how traits build a dog.

But you’re still not done, not in any sense of the word. The breeders you can think of in your breed that are truly dominant, the ones that have such strength that you can see the influence of their decisions years down the line, are likely on their thirtieth or fortieth or fiftieth litter. Ask one of those breeders someday what they got from their third litter, and see them laugh in rueful memory at how bad it was. That’s the same third litter that’s being produced by someone in the breed fifteen or twenty years and bragging about how rarely they breed. Early litters are terrible! But they’re something we all have to get through and do the best we can with, and

look back on and laugh a little about. They’re not someplace we park our butts and sit for a decade.

Look. You cannot be a good breeder without breeding. You can’t be a great breeder without breeding a LOT. And we all know that we desperately need more good breeders, and we even more desperately need great breeders. So we should be encouraging each other to breed.

We should not snark that somebody’s had more than the sacred “one or two litters a year,” or that someone bred a bitch more than twice. We should congratulate them on moving past the baby-breeder stage and into the maturing-breeder stage. We should celebrate the bitches who can healthily produce many litters without turning a hair. We should encourage our dedicated owners and co-owners, once they have finished a dog or two, to begin breeding themselves instead of waiting for the next show puppy from us.

When we do encourage breeding, let’s also be honest. The chance of you getting a litter of all champions is only slightly higher than being hit by lightning while being consumed by a crocodile. On Mars. You’re lucky, and this is not an exaggeration, if you get even a single dog to move forward with from your first breeding. You’re fortunate in ANY breeding, from your first to your hundredth, to get a single puppy that is truly better than both parents. Baby breeders need to know that. They should not be lining up show homes and expecting to put half the puppies in them. I had to learn this lesson, and it was no fun, but I am a lot happier now looking for the one puppy to move on with – and being thrilled when there is a second one – than I was when I was trying to come up with three show puppies in a litter of six. New breeders need to be told that.

You will be happier and better as a breeder if you find ONE puppy in a litter than if you are trying to find three or four. If you have three or four legitimate show homes, then breed three or four litters (which means, yes, BREEDING MORE) instead of trying to tell yourself that your fourth pick is just as high-quality as your first.

Now go forth, and be a breeder who breeds.

Is your Dachshund a LEAN, MEAN,

By Karen R. Scheiner et those weaves! Get those weaves! That mantra should sound much to your dog like “chase the bunny!” My method of training may not be so traditional, but then I’m not a traditional trainer. After all, I’m training dachshunds, a very special breed!!

When we’re on a course, and my doxies hear me yell, “Get those weaves,” they get excited, perk up, and race – yes, race! – into the weave poles, blowing through 12 poles without a hitch!

From the beginning, I train my dogs to be excited and in high gear, so they will always be flying through those poles!!

G

THE PROBLEM I’ve had handlers grumble to me that their dog didn’t “Q” because they popped out of the weaves. Or, they didn’t “make time” because of lollygagging through the weave poles. Another big excuse for a dachshund is “sniffing.” He had to stop and smell the scent on the poles!

Honestly, I cringe to watch a dachshund tentatively and slowly creeping through the poles. Or, how about when the handler is motioning with their hand one pole at a time, showing the dog where to go? Other times, the cue is offered with the handler’s foot, pointing to one slow pole at a time. In fact, even I used to think that the weaves were the most difficult, and most frustrating part of the competition.

Notwithstanding my early experiences in agility, over time I have learned that with the proper and consistent training, dachshunds can not only master the weave poles, but soar through them leaving even the fastest dogs in the class behind in the dust!

Some 15 years ago, when I was a very green handler, I started training my Novice A dog, Harley. As with most beginners, I told people that this was “just for fun,” since we were having a hard time with successful runs. I thought that we would never make it out of Novice, not realizing then that it was more my fault than the dog’s. Harley was an obedient dog, and tried to comply, but with an inexperienced, dubious handler, how could there be any hope?

His weave poles were usually accurate, but slow; he barely ever made time in the Excellent courses. When we would come a few feet from the weave poles, I could feel my body tense up, as if I were the one responsible for doing the poles. I would yell, call him, wave my hand

MY TECHNIQUE

through the weaves – does some of this behavior sound all too familiar to you?

Nevertheless, he would still just saunter through the weave poles at his own pace. It was not until years later – too late for Harley’s MACH – that I figured out how to get my dogs to move with impulsion in the poles. I also figured out that although the game is still “for fun”, there is a singular motivator and thrill in achieving the recognition that comes with earning a MACH – or multiple MACHs!!

After over a decade of training, I can finally say that the old stressors are well behind me and, in fact, I now look forward to my doxies dashing into the weave poles as fast as they can!! As a rule, lack of speed or popping out of the weaves are not my issues any longer. In fact, if I have a choice of the A-frame or the weave poles (such as in the FAST class), I will choose the weaves every time! My doxies love the weave poles, and can’t wait to race through them! My chocolate dachshund, Cherry, recently succeeded in dashing perfectly through twelve poles in an Excellent FAST challenge, while 20 feet away from me! Even I was impressed by that!

Before I discuss my technique, there a few rules for training fast and solid weave poles: • Keep your attitude upbeat and positive. Lots of praise goes a long way. I mention this in particular with weave pole training, because training this obstacle in the beginning can often be frustrating for the handler.

• Never say “no!” Remember, the dog is not bad.

If he misses a pole in training, it is probably because he didn’t understand the job.

• Keep the training session short. Don’t overdo it. Always leave the job with the dog wanting to do it more.

• Have frequent training sessions. Initially, when I train weaves, I try to do three or four ten-minute sessions each day. If you follow that routine for two weeks, your dog will get the hang of it. No kidding. Practice after that can be reduced to once or twice a day to build confidence which adds speed. Use high value treats at the beginning, such as cut up chicken pieces or little cheddar cheese squares. Forget store bought dog cookies- they aren’t motivating and they take too long to chew.

• Avoid training young dogs that are teething, or male dogs while you have a bitch in season Dachshund Club of America

in the other room. Talk about distractions! Need I say more?

I’ve often said that “agility” should really have been called the “Weave Pole Game.” That’s because if your dog doesn’t really master the weave poles, you will never qualify in the higher level courses in agility. Also, it will soon become boring for you unless you and your doxie are competitive in the game. Recognize that the weave poles are probably the only obstacle that the dog would never do on his own. That is, dogs might chase each other over jumps, through tunnels, and even might run up and down an Aframe in play, but they will never opt to weave through 12 weave poles on their own. This is a totally unnatural obstacle that needs to be taught well and practiced repeatedly for success.

36

Autumn 2015

Remember that accuracy and speed are the important criteria. Accuracy comes with patterning perfect weave poles.

To start, set up two four-inch high jumps on either end of the poles, about two feet from the last pole at each end. ( If you want to start with six poles, until you get the hang of it, that’s fine, but then plan move to training 12 poles soon.)

Have the dog on a collar (not a harness) and use a lightweight leash. Not one of those big heavy leather leads - just a nylon or cotton leash that can roll up in your hand. Have high value treats in your pocket or pouch, but NOT in your hand.

Take the dog to behind the jump, so he is facing the weave poles. Let him stand – no “sit” command is needed. Roll up as much of the leash in your left hand as needed to avoid slack when you are standing up. Kneel down beside the dog and whisper excitedly, “Get those weaves!” Stand up, and with the dog on your left side and leash still on, have the dog take the jump, and then briskly weave him through the set of poles and over the last jump. (The first pole is always at the dog’s left shoulder.) You can say, “weave, weave, weave” or “go, go go” or some other mantra, so that the dog hears the pace and knows you are right there without having to look at you. Reward with praise and magically pull out a handful of little chicken pieces from your pocket. Don’t be stingy with the treats! One little chicken or cheese piece is not enough. Think of it this way: It should take the dog as long to ingest the reward as it took to do the exercise.

Now, turn around, but this time, put the dog on your right side, and the leash in your right hand. From behind the jump, yell, “Get those weaves!” and once again, briskly take the dog over the jump, through the poles (with the first pole at the dog’s left shoulder), and finish with a jump at the end. Then praise and a bunch of treats should magically appear again as a big jackpot reward.

For the first day or two, you are going to say, my dog hates this! He may pull and buck and even try to get out of the weaves, or run away.

DO NOT GIVE UP!! Expect this behavior at the beginning. After the second day of doing this, you will see amazing improvement. The dog will realize that he has to weave through these poles – and weave through fast!! He also will remember the praise and motivational treats at

OTHER TRAINING EQUIPMENT

the end of the poles. That’s why the treats can’t be stingy; at the beginning, especially, there should be a large amount of memorable chicken or hot dog pieces!

A jackpot!

In this exercise, you control the speed. Therefore, it is up to you to keep the dog’s pace fast. There is no allowance for sniffing the grass, dawdling through the poles, or coming out before the set is done. It’s just over the jump, fast through the poles, over the next jump and treats galore!!!

You did it!!!

A word of caution in training is that I do not recommend taking the dog off of the leash for at least three months of training. You may think that he knows it and will do it fast, but once offlead, it’s a whole other story. The task is to continue to pattern the dog so that he is accurate and fast. If he comes off the leash too soon, you will lose either the accuracy or the speed. Have patience knowing that your dog will

There are many, many ways of training the weave poles, so my way is certainly not exclusive.

It is, however, the method that has worked best for me and my dachshunds.

This article would not be complete without the mention of some popular equipment used for training the weaves. One of the methods that I have been encouraged to try, was called the “Weave-A-Matics”. That is, a set of weave poles that are hinged at the base of each pole so they can slant outward. The idea is that after the dog goes through the angled poles (about 100 times!), you can then move them gradually to an upright position.

My experience – from watching others use the Weave-A-Matics –

between the poles, and he gets the feeling of running in-between poles. Gradually, the poles are to be moved closer and closer together, until they are in a single line, and the dog has mastered the poles. As with this method as well, I have not seen dogs make quick transition from the wide set poles to a single line of poles. I like the channel method better than the Weave-AMatics because there is also an emphasis on speed. However, I found that my dachshunds never liked stepping on the slats, when they were going through the channels. This may be an option for other dogs, but I have not had any particular success with these.

An option which may be useful, even when you are training with my technique, is to purchase a set of wire guides that attach to the poles. Once the dog understands to honor the guides (and not jump over them, or in the case of the dachshund, run under them), these may be useful in reinforcing the dog’s understanding of where he is supposed to be in the weave poles. I have used these guides in the past, however my experience has been that if you continue to train the dog on lead, by briskly moving him through the poles with impulsion, he will pattern the behavior and the guides will not be necessary.

If you are in an agility class where they offer this additional equipment, you may want to try it out for yourself and not take my word. Since I have not found any of this these items to be particularly successful, you certainly should try it first, if you are considering making a purchase. My recommendation is to just save your money to buy tunnels, chutes and jumps!

LOOKING FOR MORE MACHS!

is that the dog learns that moving slowly and without impulsion through the poles is acceptable. I have also seen that the dogs don’t make the transition very quickly from the slanted poles to the upright ones. It could, in fact, take many months of training to get the dog to do the weaves in the upright position.

Another method often taught is use of the channel weaves. These are weave poles separated by slats in the middle, so that they form a “channel.” At first, the slat is widened, so that the dog can run straight through, infinally be a speed demon in the weaves, once you have mastered this training.

The AKC theory is that the weave poles are considered to be one obstacle, rather than a set of twelve separate poles. That is to say, if the dog pops out of one pole, and you put him back in where he came out, that will be considered an “F” (failure to perform). However, if the dog pops out of the poles, and the handler then takes him back to the start to retry them, the score will only be an “R” (refusal) which is allowed in the Novice and Open courses, although it is still counts as an NQ (non-qualifying) in the Excellent/Master courses.

Autumn 2015

An important lesson that I have learned through my 15+ years of agility training is that if the weave poles are taught to the dog well, then the pressure is off of me. That is to say, I used to feel tense upon coming up on the weaves, thinking that if I took a wrong step, or said the wrong words, my dog would pop out and not finish the poles. I don’t have that nervous feeling any longer. I know I don’t have to “cue” the poles on the course any more, other than to say, “Get those weaves!” The dog knows the job. On the course, it is the dog’s job, and not my job, to do it right. I hope you take my suggestions so you can relax and have fun with your dachshund on the course. If you train the weave poles well, your dog will know the game!

Harley never did earn a MACH, as my revelation as to how to create an agility champion came too late for him. And although Harley is now retired from performance events, he still stays right by my side, at the ripe old age of 16+ years. However, I am extremely proud to say that Harley’s daughter, Chelsea, has, over the years, actually turned into a lean, mean weaving machine! She is fabulously fast in the weave poles, a great teammate on the course; as a result, she recently earned her first MACH! I just love training dachshunds!

Feel free to send your comments about this article, ideas for other articles, training suggestions or random thoughts about your dachshunds to me at DoxyLadyNJ@gmail.com.

I would love to hear from you! !

AUTUMN, 2015

by Larry Sorenson AKC Delegate for Dachshund Club of America

Delegate’s Report for June 8, 2015 Held in Newark, NJ Effective: September 1, 2015 The new judging approval process is available at: http://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/american kennelclub/2015-JAP-for_publication.pdf This is the highlights of the Delegates’ Meeting; a complete set of Delegates’ Meeting Minutes is located at: http://s3-us-west2.amazonaws.com/americankennelclub/Delegate s_Portal_PDFs/Minutes_Delegate_Meeting_June _2015.pdf Highlights from the June Meeting 2015 Delegate Meeting: There was a discussion on the proposed amendment to Chapter 2, Sections 1-16 of the Rules Applying to Dog Shows, which was scheduled for a vote at this meeting.

This amendment, with the deletion of Section 2, would bring the Rules into compliance with current operating procedures. Changes to Section 3, require clubs to hold events in their territory in order to retain exclusivity and only provides exclusivity for a period of time surrounding the show date. Additionally, an appeals process is outlined for clubs that believe permission to hold a show within another club's territory has been unreasonably withheld.

The deletion of Sections 5 through 7 would remove outdated and repetitive language.

Sections 8-16 will be renumbered. Changes to new Section 14 allows clubs to have digital, rather than paper, copies of documents at events.

It was published in two issues of the Gazette and is on the worksheet previously emailed to the Delegates. The proposed amendment was brought forth by the Delegate Dog Show Rules Committee. The AKC Board put the proposal forward without recommendation.

A two-thirds affirmative vote is required for adoption.

Without objection, the question was divided, keeping all sections together, except for Section 3, which deals with the territoriality portion.

There were two-thirds in the affirmative, and the amendment as

amended was adopted.

There was then discussion on Chapter 2, Section 3.

There was a motion made and seconded and the amendment was referred back to the Committee.

The territory motion was separated into 2 parts, the housekeeping questions and the actual territory question. Housekeeping of the rule passed, however the territory question portion was sent back to the committee for clearer language. There was a lot of discussion on both the positive and negative sides of this subject. I think it may have passed if it had been voted on. However, by being sent back to the committee for work it must come to the delegate floor again to be read and then voted on at the next meeting. This action sets this proposal back for at least 6 months. It may be longer. It may come back to the December meeting. LLS The Executive Secretary read the proposed amendment to Chapter 16, Section 1, of the Rules Applying to Dog Shows, as follows: This amendment is to Chapter 16, Section 1 of the Rules Applying to Dog Shows, A new Section 1 would allow for the awarding of CM points in the regular puppy classes. All other sections will be renumbered accordingly. Dogs that earn a CM title will be awarded one point toward its championship title under this proposed amendment. The amendment will be published in two issues of the online AKC Gazette and you will be asked to vote on it at the September 2015 meeting.

This will be another new way to get a point towards a dog’s championship. I am not totally sure at this time how this will work. I believe it is being designed to bring new exhibitors into dog shows. A dog that earns 15 Certificate of Merits (CM) will be awarded one point toward its championship title under this proposed amendment. LLS The Chair called on Joseph Baffuto for the Financial Report. A summary follows:

In year over year comparison, through May 31, operating revenues are up by $738,000 and operating expenses are down by $118,000.

Therefore, our operating income has increased by $856,000 or 32% versus May 31 of the prior year.

Our investment portfolio has increased by $3.0 million or 2.8% this year-to-date.

Our total unrestricted net assets have increased to $116.8 million from $107.3 million atthis same point last year.

Looking a little better. LLS

Things happening with AKC From the June Board meeting. LLS Economic Benefit of AKC Events: The Board reviewed a report that covers the findings from an online quantitative survey conducted by the AKC during a one month period from April 10 to May 11, 2015.

The objective of this study was to gather current and relevant information to assess the benefits of AKC events to regional economies.

This information will be used to help clubs illustrate the value that AKC dog event participants bring to local communities through significant spending on such services and products as lodging, food, transportation, etc.

Just over 84,000 surveys were emailed. A total of 14,288 respondents who have attended an AKC dog event in the past 12 months completed the survey for a response rate of 17%. Of those respondents, 3,516 say they have chaired an AKC event (25% of the total respondents).

The survey results show that AKC Events generate significant dollars in spending by both Exhibitors and Clubs.

Events in the Midwest can generate up to $370 million annually to the Midwest region.

Events in the Northeast can generate up to $309 million annually to the Northeast region.

Events in the Southeast can generate up to $285 million annually to the Southeast region.

Events in the West can generate up to $271 million annually to the West region.

Events in the Southwest can generate up to $271 million annually to the Southwest region.

In total AKC events have the potential to generate over $1.5 billion in spending nationwide every year.

Low-Entry Breeds The Board continued to discuss ways to assist low-entry breeds with regards to earning Championship points. It was agreed that any recommendations should be based upon verifiable statistical information.

I am sure there is more to come.

If you live in a central to northern state east of the Mississippi River you should be able to get your dachshund into groundhogs. Western groundhogs are called marmots and they live in rocky areas in the mountains and are not easily taken with an earth dog. However, where groundhogs are found in the east, they are generally abundant. Ask any type of farmer for permission to dig groundhogs and he’ll welcome you.

The groundhog is a squirrel which evolved to live in holes. Picture an overweight squirrel averaging seven to ten pounds, with teeth to match.

groundhog went. I say ‘may’ because while you are digging the groundhog is still burying itself in the tunnel, blocking off its scent. Your dog will eventually come to a solid wall of dirt with little groundhog scent.

This lack of hot scent will often stymie a dachshund until it learns to keep digging at the blockage. Or the groundhog may have woven itself through thick roots. Your standard is not as lean and flexible as the groundhog and can’t maneuver like the rodent can. Or the groundhog may have simply slithered behind a big rock, dropping dirt or more rocks into the tunnel, thus again blocking off your dog. Now it’s up to you to keep digging to find the tunnel again. Sounds like a lot of work, doesn’t it? Well, it is. You wanted to do earthwork on groundhogs so get tuned in to your shovel.

Think about this: you are trying to hunt a ten pound animal with a twenty pound dog. That sort of imbalance is ok above ground. Most coon hounds are much larger than a coon. Fox hounds outweigh a fox by four or more times. A twenty pound dachshund trying to get through a tunnel made by a ten pound groundhog just isn’t going to happen consistently. Ask anyone who has tried to dig groundhogs successfully and consistently with a standard dachshund and they’ll tell you how much digging it requires.

Measure your standard’s chest circumference.

Any number above 14 inches is too big, and even a dog with that chest size is often too big. In my experience, a dog with a chest of 12 inches or less is ideal.

So, your standard dachshund can handle hard quarry, quarry that bites back, if it can get its mouth on the game. How can you then work groundhogs and consistently give your standard a job? The answer is a miniature dachshund. If they are bred from hunting lines they should be shallow chested, narrowly built and up on the leg, meaning tall in comparison to show dachshunds. And I’m not knocking show dachshunds. Some of them have made excellent woodchuck dogs, despite their short legs and big chests. But for consistently good work underground, find one that has the least chest circumference, some leg under it, and as narrow shoulders as possible. Then when you check out woodchuck dens, if your standard indicates an occupant, you tie off your standard so it doesn’t hog the hole, and let the miniature work through the tunnel.

Your earthdog should be wearing a transmitter collar, available in the US but made by the English company Deben. Once your miniature has located and bayed the quarry, you dig to the little barking dog. Then you block the dog off from the quarry, take it out of the den and either hand it to someone or tie it off.

Quickly open the den the length of your standard, then drop the big dog into the tunnel.

If all is done in an efficient manner, your standard can face the quarry and draw it, meaning pull it out. This is Digging at the NATC where flexibility and body strength natural den work test are important. A groundhog is a fierce fighter and will use its rodent teeth to defend itself. Or it may have begun to bury itself and your standard will have to pull it out by the seat of its pants, then have to fight it out when the groundhog turns to defend itself.

I have seen standards in these situations and I am of the opinion that they are not good draw dogs. The reason is because they generally are too big to drop into the den to get the chuck, and even if they do, they are in Longhaired miniature dachshund ‘Bane’ an awkward position of hanging entering dug open halfway into the den, trying to lift an woodchuck tunnel. unwilling and biting quarry. Most of their weight is then forward and they have a tough time pulling up and out. Their short legs don’t allow them to stand up and pull up at the same time. Also, if you have to dig the den opening big enough to get the whole standard body in, by the time you’ve done that much more digging, the groundhog has either bolted or buried itself. Efficiency is lost because the standard has to chew on the Bane and a big groundhog awhile before it can draw it. In my experience a long legged dog groundhog he located and bayed. of any breed is a much better draw dog than a standard dachshund, but if you only have a standard to use as a draw dog, then give it every chance to properly face its quarry. Don’t ask it to drop straight down into a den where the groundhog can punish your dog.

Quickly, and I do mean quickly, dig the den open away from the groundhog and drop your standard in. This gives the big dog Nanus and Tar with some space to fence with the groundhog. If your dog is brave it will coon they located and bayed in a den. get a hold on the quarry. If your dog will allow you, lift the dog and the quarry its attached to out of the hole so your dog can

Picture at right was taken by Stacey Samela and shows Teddy with a mini wire of her breeding, Tess. (FC Tess von Moritz mw WC). The lurcher is Keeper, from David Hancock in England. Teddy writes: “Stacey and I were looking for a fox in a den one cold winter’s day. I knew of a den in a big swampy area, on the only high ground around. Tess entered the den and began tugging on something, which was odd. She pulled and pulled and eventually came out with the big groundhog, which was alive but very much asleep in his hibernating state. We have no idea why he was so close to the entrance of the den, only about five feet in. I speculated the fox had begun to dig the den open for use as a whelping chamber and had dislodged the groundhog. The fox was not in the den. Tess searched diligently but came up empty. This den has about a dozen entrances/exits and there are big trees growing over it so Tess had to check many tunnels and get through the tree roots. The soil is very sandy and easily dug by the fox.

The coon was in another den and gave Tess a bad time. She located and bayed it while we dug. The merle lurcher in the photo, Keeper, and Stacey's lurcher, Tory, drew and dispatched the coon, a big boar.

Later as we worked along a drainage ditch the female mallard slipped out ahead of us but wouldn’t fly. We saw she was injured and sent the lurchers after her. Tory swam the ditch up and down and eventually caught her and brought her to Stacey, who took the duck home and tried to rehab her but she died.”

Above & Below Ground continued from pagge 59 properly dispatch the animal. The idea of earthwork is to locate and bay the quarry, then dispatch it as soon as possible. The varmint has given you the sport you came looking for, the least you can do is give it a timely death.

Lurchers are mixed breed sighthounds, usually with a working breed as the minor contributor and greyhound as the majority of blood. The crosses were first made in the UK between Border and Bearded Collies and coursing greyhounds. The half-cross was bred back to a greyhound. The idea was to make a fast collie or a smart greyhound. The collie added coat and brains and biddability, the greyhound gave prey drive and speed. These dogs were designed and used to hunt up, catch, kill and retrieve game.

I use them because they are good-tempered and quiet around the kennel, tolerant of the dachshunds, and very useful in catching bolted quarry, and in dispatching game the dachshunds have bayed. They are big enough to handle hard quarry such as fox, raccoon, and groundhogs and can easily draw their quarry from dens.

Digging fox with dachshunds is another matter. Fox are valuable fur bearers and most states do not allow fox to be dug out of their earths. If you can get permission to dig fox in a pest control situation, you will quickly find out how tough your dachshund needs to be. A fox can get tight into a den and your dachshund will have to jam itself along the tunnel to get up to the fox. Again, a dachshund with a shallow chest, narrow shoulders and a bit of leg, as well as a very flexible body, is the ticket for consistent success. If your dachshund does get up to the fox, it will find out how hard a fox can bite. Many fox will bolt if pushed by a dog but

the ones who chose to fight will use their long, sharp canine teeth to punish the dog’s face. It takes a strong-willed dachshund to fight a fox successfully. Sometimes the dogs will get mouth to mouth and the fox will hang on and not let go.

Or the fox will charge up the tunnel and bite the dog, then quickly retreat. This is where the big strong head on a dachshund is necessary, not only to give good bites but to take the punishment without having its jaw broken or teeth knocked out. American red foxes tend to be smaller than their European counterparts.

Our red fox has become smaller so it may use groundhog dens for its home. Fox have even smaller chests than a large groundhog, averaging thirteen inches. They may weigh ten or more pounds, but their bodies are remarkably small and narrow and very flexible. They are a challenging quarry below ground.

Raccoons are often found in dens in the ground. Depending on their size, they can give your dachshund a real fight. Coons can turn in their skins, which means if your dog grabs the coon by the back, the coon just shifts itself around and grabs your dog. A coon will bite and chew on a dog, it will use its claws, front and back to scratch your dog and to hold onto your dog. If your dachshund wants to take the fight to a big coon, the coon is more than capable of defending itself. A coon will even take hold of your dogs collar so it can anchor itself better to bite more of your dog. A coon’s hide is thick and in a healthy coon there is a layer of fat under the skin. Thus your dachshund can’t punish the coon except by getting a throat or chest hold. In the meantime the coon will defend itself mightily. It’s not easy to step in and help your dog when it’s tangling with a coon. The coon is just as willing to take you on as the dog, so try to pin it down and help the dog finish it off.

Raccoons are a worthy adversary for a hole dog.

Most possums are easy quarry for a standard dachshund if the dog can get up to the possum in the den. A strong headed dog will bite the possum hard, making it ‘sull’ or act dead. The dog will pull the possum out of the den, shake it a bit, then let it go. Later on the possum will wake up and walk off. Unless you are doing pest control on a horse farm there’s no reason to kill possum. Horse people don’t want them around because they carry a disease horses can contract. Possums are scavengers and not a challenge to a standard dachshund.

Teddy’s note about chest circumference: I measured my dogs this morning. All are two years old or more. I believe a dachshund is not ‘finished’ as far as size and chest circumference until it is at least two years old.

Bane: 2 year old male: 12 1/2" (32 cm) Tar: 2 year old female: 11 1/2" (29 1/2 cm) Nanus: 3 year old female: 13" (32 1/2 cm) Navarre: 6 year old male: 13 3/4" (33 cm) Gavia: 14 year old female: 13" (32 1/2 cm) Fitz: 6 year old female: 10" (27 cm) Note that Fitz is very small and therefore a good little rabbit hole dog. She weighs about 5 1/2 lbs hunting weight and is invaluable during rabbit season. She likes to work hard quarry as well but I use her only sparingly lest she get hurt. Last summer a groundhog bit her over both eyes, deeply. If it had bitten any lower she would have been blinded.

Jolanta’s note: Our smallest standard-sized dachshunds imported from Germany have chest cicumferences of 18.5 inches (47 cm) - 2 year old Joeri and 11 year-old Asko. Tommy at two years has a chest measured at 20 inches (50.8 cm). Everybody else is above 21 inches.!

NAIA study confirms fewer dogs, scarce purebreds in US animal shelters National advocacy group calls for tougher federal and state laws to reform shelters The number of dogs entering US shelters has reached an all-time low, and the number of purebred dogs found in shelters has dropped to about 5%, according to a study just released by the National Animal Interest Alliance (NAIA), an advocacy organization for responsible animal ownership.

NAIA President Patti Strand said the study shows "tremendous progress" in eradicating dog overpopulation and substantially reducing the number of shelter deaths which occurred in the past due to indiscriminate or accidental breeding.

Strand credited animal sheltering groups and national dog organizations like the American Kennel Club (AKC) for launching ongoing campaigns encouraging pet owners to select their pets more carefully, neuter dogs not intended for breeding programs, and understand the lifelong commitment that responsible dog ownership requires. She also commended the AKC breed rescue groups that work directly with shelters to save purebred dogs suitable for adoption.

“As a result of these efforts, 83 percent of household dogs are neutered, and tens of thousands carry microchips or tattoos that help shelters return lost pets to their owners,” Strand said.

“The NAIA study results are very encouraging,” said Sheila Goffe, Director of Government Relations for the American Kennel Club. “It is the most extensive survey on this subject to date and it shows that dogs identified as purebreds are rare in American shelters today, an outcome that responsible breeders, rescuers and AKC have worked decades to achieve. We are gratified that AKC programs were able to contribute to this result and we are committed to continuing these programs to further reduce the need for shelters and rescues – not just for purebreds, but for all dogs.”

The study also identified several weaknesses in the U.S. animal protection movement, including the lack of transparency among non-

profit shelters and inadequate or non-existent shelter regulation and oversight.

Strand said transparency and regulatory oversight have become more important as nonprofit pet shelters have increased their share of the pet dog market. The increased demand for shelter dogs, combined with the dwindling supply from local sources, has led to unprecedented levels of dog relocation and importation. “Today’s shelters include everything from traditional facilities helping local animals to new, retail-style models that meet customer demand by importing dogs from other states, offshore territories and even foreign countries,” she said. “Very few people realize the scope of these rescue/shelter import programs.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control, 4 Northeastern states recently received more than 30 rescue dogs and cats from Egypt for adoption in the U.S., including one dog with

rabies. “Importing dogs that may be infected with rabies, other zoonotic and/or infectious diseases puts American citizens and animals at risk of illness or death and should not be allowed,” Strand says.

Connecticut veterinarian and NAIA Board member Dr. Arnold Goldman, counsels that “even though relocating pets may feel good in the short run, it is a false, potentially dangerous and ultimately ineffective practice that does nothing to solve the problem of surplus dogs at the source. Improving animal wellbeing and solving animal welfare problems such as homeless animals must be addressed at the place where animals first interact with people, by the development of targeted programs in their cities, counties and states of origin.”

National animal rights groups, including the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), are taking notice of the

Hi members and subscribers!

Hope all of you had a successful summer and fall with your dogs! We’ve had an incredibly hectic and happy few months here in the north country, our daughter, Amber, finished another new Champion from our breeding giving her mom the coveted ROMX title from her only litter. 3 weeks later Amber gave birth to our 3rd grandchild, Liam Charles...we’re thrilled!

The fall issue always contains the list of the top producers for the previous year, as well as the updated Register of Merit listings. Make sure you get your information to Anne Wlodkowski as soon as you can for those important titles.

looming puppy dog shortage in many parts of the country. At the same time, many animal rights groups are aggressively promoting state and local laws aimed at eliminating, rather than improving American breeders. Strand said such proposals do not distinguish between the majority of responsible dog breeders and the small fraction of substandard breeders who become the focus of animal rights fundraising campaigns.

“These extreme animal rights groups have become so ideological and irrational that they would rather risk importing rabid dogs from Asia and Africa than support humane, responsible breeding in the U.S. so consumers can purchase the dog of their choice from a responsible and in many cases regulated American breeder,” Strand said.

If animal rights groups are successful in driving responsible dog breeders out of business, Strand fears that nonprofit shelters will turn increasingly to sources in China, India, Egypt, Iraq and Puerto Rico, all locales that have exported rabid rescue dogs into the U.S. To address these issues, the NAIA is seeking changes in federal and state laws to: • Prohibit the importation of rescue dogs from foreign countries immediately.

• Impose the same oversight requirements on animal rescues and shelters as those imposed on other animal dealers • Require animal shelters to report the source and number of the dogs they take in and the disposition of those dogs “Without these regulations, American consumers will have absolutely no way of knowing where their dogs came from, how they were bred and raised, and whether the shelter they've patronized is following responsible animal care practices. The pet dog market will be a virtual Wild West of unlicensed, unregulated shelters operating without rules, standards or accountability,” Strand warned.
