President’s Message

Being a director of Dogs Queensland involves many important responsibilities.

Members may not be fully aware of what this involves. All our Directors are volunteers, however that doesn’t lessen the need for us to be aware of these responsibilities to provide good governance and to act in the best interest of Dogs Queensland at all times.

On Tuesday, 18 July 2023, our directors attended governance training provided by the Institute of Community Directors Australia. The entire complement of directors were in attendance to receive this important training to assist in providing the best possible governance for our organisation. I would like to thank all the directors who attended on the day, many of whom took time away from their usual employment to attend the training. We are grateful for their time and dedication, and I am confident we will put the benefits of our learnings/ training in order to provide better governance and sound decision-making on behalf of our members.

A2O TITLE APLICATION PROCEDURE APPLICATION FORM

RULES FOR THE CONDUCT OF AGILITY TRIALS –TEMPORARY MODIFICATIONS

Dogs Queensland advise that the temporary modifications as outlined below remain in place.

Current Rule:

7.2.1 On the Steward’s call of the dog’s catalogue number, the Handler will enter the ring via the entry point, with the dog on lead and follow the Steward’s and/or Judge’s instructions. The lead and harness or head collar must be removed, the collar may be removed and all items handed to a Steward.

The temporary modified Rule:

‘7.2.1 On the Steward’s call of the dog’s catalogue number, the Handler will enter the ring via the entry point, with the dog on lead and follow the Steward’s and/or Judge’s instructions. The lead will be removed, the collar maybe removed. The Handler will either place the lead/collar in a pocket whilst running the course or wear it on them (e.g. clipped around their waist like a belt).

If any of these items fall to the ground or the dog grabs the lead while running the course this will result in a DQ. The lead/collar must be inaudible and if not this will result in a DQ.’

Leaving out ‘harness or head collar’ was based on discussions about modern ‘active’ wear doesn’t usually have pockets. As such these large and sometimes heavy items could not be ‘stored’ on the handler with ease. This is also to prevent them from falling on the ground and becoming a trip hazard as well as to prevent the possibility of the spread of Covid-19 should it be present either on the equipment or the ground.

AUSTRALIAN TERRIER

The Australian Terrier remains ‘spirited, alert, courageous, and self-confident with the natural aggressiveness of a ratter; as a companion, friendly and affectionate.’

Victoria Tilley

Lobegeiger-Schaeller

The Australian Terrier, truly one of Australia’s best kept secrets, was once described in the newspaper many years ago as the ‘little mongrel’.

For many just the phrase ‘Australian Terrier’, will send you for a trip down memory lane. Whether it be from reading the Golden Book – Tiny, the Australian Terrier and his friends as a child, seeing the news that told of the miraculous tale of Rusty hitchhiking 1500km from Queensland to South Australia or maybe just a little dog you met down the road.

The Australian Terrier has touched many people’s lives in many ways, but for most in the dog show world. When I pose the question, Where does your mind go when I say Australian Terrier? they will tell me a story about a little ‘showman’ they saw, taking out Best In Show at the Sydney Royal; be it Ch Tahee Dirty Harry in 1990 or that of Ch Tinee Town Talktime in 1973. Regardless, this once controversial breed holds several spotlight moments in Australia’s history.

Interestingly the Australian Terrier story is thought to have started with a painting – the first documentation of the breed was in the form of an oil painting by William Strutt on a ship bound for Australia in 1850 from Britain. This image can still be seen today at the Masterpiece Gallery in Tasmania.

they could easily be fed from a sailors’ rations. Survival of the fittest was documented with many likely to have lived off their hunting ability alone.

The ownership of these dogs were often that of, what resembled a ‘ladies’ lap dog and was said to have caused much ridicule on the ship regarding a sailor’s masculinity. From there the Aussie’s story really starts with the early European settlers in an untamed Australia during the 18th century with a requirement for a tough fearless dog to control vermin and snakes in tough terrain.

The breed was first developed under the title of the Rough Coated Terrier in 1850. Its’ roots were said to lie with imported British Terriers such as the Cairn, Skye, Dandie Dimont, the short legged Irish Terrier and the now extinct Black and Tan Terrier.

Like Strutt the breed’s forefathers arrived on ships undocumented, their job to kill the vermin that plagued the ship’s crew. Undoubtedly many were crossbreds, of Terrier type, small in size so that

However, the breed’s true origin is one that has been shrouded in controversy, even among the pedigree dog fanciers of the 1800s with much ambivalence arising due to its intended purpose –‘killing of vermin’. This was seen to be lacking in the social prestige that usually accompanied a dog of pedigree during that era. The presence of vermin was often associated with poverty, filth and poor

housekeeping which led to further hostility when it came to naming the breed. The idea that such a dog would take the prestigious title of ‘Australian’ (as wished by it master) when its lineage was so unclear, was an outrage to many.

Nevertheless, they were shown in large numbers for that time, with the breed being included in the first All Breeds Dog Show held in Melbourne in 1864 under the title ‘Rough Coated Terrier’. There were 25 Rough Coated Terriers over 7lbs and 7 Rough Coated Terriers under 7lbs exhibited.

By 1889, momentum for the breed was forming and a club was instituted, known as the ‘Australian Rough-Coated Terrier Club’ with its first agenda being a breed standard for the little dog drawn up. This was followed shortly after by the proposition for a name change. At the time the committee applied to the Victorian Poultry and Dog Society to accept the breed standard and grant the name ‘Australian’ to the breed. This was quickly refused, instead calling these dogs ‘arrant nondescripts’. One writer referred to the rough coated terrier as ‘an unmitigated mongrel, and only fit to use where snakes are too numerous to risk a dog of any value.’

It wasn’t until 17 April 1909 the breed was renamed the Australian

Terrier. The breed was no longer seen as a breed for those in poverty, but also those with wealth and purpose. The Australian Terrier headed the household of the first Australian Governor General but he wasn’t alone with the company he kept. The popularity spread with the Duke of Gloucester, the Countess of Stradbroke, Sir Samuel and Lady Katherine Way and also Lady Clark, falling in love with the breed. This group, whom upon return to Britain, were monumental in convincing the Kennel Club (UK) to recognize the breed as a purebred in 1933.

Newspapers described the breed as ‘a loyal and devoted dog, game, hardy, able to withstand privations and the trials of climate; with the courage to attack and hunt for food for itself and the larder; an alert, keen-scenting dog to give warning of danger was an urgent need, and an animal with these capabilities was treasured and prized beyond price by those fortunate enough to acquire’.

Overseas and at home the Rough Coated Terrier/ Australian Terrier started to spread wide and far. For Queensland this came with the first Australian Rough Coated Terrier being registered in 1887 – a

dog by the name of Stemford Apenny, bred by J Morris (Melbourne) and owned by Dr R. S. Jackson. However, it wasn’t until 1953 that Queensland formed its first breed club, The Australian Terrier Club of Queensland – which is still an active club and about to celebrate seventy years.

The Australian Terrier, could lay a very reasonable claim when it comes to being ‘Australia’s dog’ with it being the first native breed to be officially recognized and shown in Australia. It also became the first breed of Australia to be recognized and shown abroad when it returned to its forefather’s shores.

So, what of the Australian Terrier today? The Australian Terrier remains ‘spirited, alert, courageous and self-confident, with the natural aggressiveness of a ratter; as a companion, friendly and affectionate.’

He is long and low at approximately 10 inches, making it the smallest of the working Terriers with a harsh coat designed for the Australian environment. They come in three colours – Blue and Tan, Red and Sandy. Although not popular, they make wonderful companions but are also very competitive in several sports including Earthdogs, Herding, Agility, Obedience, Lure Coursing and even Dock Diving – all of which show their versatility and ability to still do what they were initially bred to do.

HALLMARKS OF THE BREED

Leather – Is a inverted V piece of black skin, free of hair (leather) extending from the nose to the bridge of the muzzle. This desirable trait is found in varying lengths in a mature dog, but not all have it.

Thumbprints – Although not required in the standard, a thumbprint is found on the side of the skull midway between the eye and the ear. It is soft black hair of similar texture to the head furnishings and is the size and shape of a thumbprint. It is considered to be a key characteristic in Blue and Tan AND does not appear in the Sandy or Red variant. This mark often gradually disappears in aged dogs due to a vestige of black skin pigmentation.

Topknot – Is the hair covering the top of the skull. This hair is often finer and should be of a softer texture. In all colours this hair should be lighter in

colour than the rest of the head.

Ruff and Apron – The ruff frames the head, covers the neck and blends into the apron. This protects the throat from injury when working.

THE AUSSIE ON THE STAMP

Ever wondered about the Australian Terrier who famously made it onto numerous letters across the world? His name was Dinki (Ch Riverslea Dinkum Aussies), who was born here in Queensland on Anzac Day in 1971. His photo was submitted to the Graphic Connection in Canberra and was among many chosen to appear on the 35c stamp. Our breed also reappeared on an Australian stamp in 2013.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE AUSTRALIAN TERRIER

• Australian Terriers often have coloured spots on their tongues, thought to be related to good pigment.

• The length of the Australian Terrier is thought to contribute to their ability to be able to jump vertically up and turn on themselves to be able to get behind a snake’s head.

• The Australian Terrier was once a docked breed.

• Is the only breed to have a Topknot, Ruff and Apron.

• Australian Terriers once upon a time came in both dropped and pricked ear varieties.

• Our breed was once almost separated by colour and in 1912 was shown as separate: Australian Terrier (Blue and Tan) and Australian Terrier (Sandy).

Up until 1929 the Australian Terrier, the Australian Silky Terrier and the Yorkshire Terrier were not clearly defined. Three dogs of different breeds could be born within the same litter only to be separated by appearance into different types.

AUSTRALIAN TERRIERS IN STARRING ROLES THROUGHOUT HISTORY

Did you know there was an Australian Terrier at Gallipoli?

He wandered into the Broadmeadows army camp in Victoria just before the 4th Field Ambulance Brigade embarked for service in World War 1.

after the famous World War 1 mascot, Driver was smuggled in the pocket of Driver Fred Roberts, Field Company Engineers when they left Australia on the troopship, Suffolk on the 30 November 1915. After avoiding quarantine in England, Egypt and France, he was smuggled back into Australia on the troopship ‘Castalia’ which left England on the 13 April 1919 and arrived on the 1 June 1919.

During the voyage, both the ship’s captain and commanding officer became aware of Driver’s presence and demanded that he be put down and disposed of by the ship’s furnace. The troops rallied together and threaten to kill anyone who killed Driver. For the rest of his time on the ship, members of the crew were paid to hide him.

It was long suspected that Driver would be disembarking the ship with Ross at the port of Sydney and customs officials were waiting. However, it was later found that he had disembarked early with a friend in Melbourne and was forwarded to Sydney by rail where he lived out the rest of his life until he passed on the 31 October 1926. Driver’s body can be viewed at the Australian War Memorial.

LARRY THE WONDER PUP

After travelling on the troop ship, he was taken to Gallipoli in an army haversack, but was eventually killed by shrapnel in June of 1915. His full story is told in the book Gallipoli Dog by Deb Benson

If you happen to be watching the children channel you may have come across another famous Australian Terrier star ‘Larry the Wonder Pup’. This Australian live action and animated television series first aired on 7TWO in Australia in 2018 and ran for multiple seasons. It’s a series about the adventures of a 6-year-old girl Sasha and her pup Larry.

WIZARD OF OZ

Australian Terrier’s Flick (Wanora Felicity Shagwell) and Trouble (Kylott Jiggy With It) graced stages across the country in 2017 starring as ‘Toto’ in the stage show musical Wizard Of Oz (despite the original Toto being a Cairn Terrier). The pair were trained by Luke Hura who has trained some of the biggest animal names in the Australian showbiz industry including the Kelpie used in Red Dog and the Maremma in Oddball.

Proposed Reforms IN QUEENSLAND to Animal Management (Cats and Dogs) Act 2008

Elisa McCutcheon

Animal management has long been a problem for Councils (particularly dog complaints and noise complaints).

Recent reforms to the above Act have been proposed and a Discussion Paper has been released with proposals to address the above as well as survey questions (1) . Members are encouraged to read the Discussion Paper and respond to the survey.

According to the above, Australia records an average of 100,000 dog bites annually with an estimated cost of $7 million each year (2). Of course, the actual number is likely to be more than this as these are only the recorded cases.

What do we know about dog attacks? Most people are attacked by dogs they know. Eighty percent of attacks occur in the home. The majority of those are by a dog that a person owns or is known to them. Further, these attacks are typically more severe than those from unknown or stray dogs (3) .

Children are more likely to experience severe injury as a result of dog attacks and are more likely to experience injury to their face and neck that require long term injury management including reconstructive surgeries (4). Of course, adults may also be seriously injured and, in some cases, have been killed.

In addition, there are numerous instances where dogs are mauled by other dogs. It is not clear how many of these attacks are recorded.

In most cases, there is a significant likelihood that the above attacks are a direct result of acts of irresponsible ownership. This is often due to lack of understanding of dog behaviour, poor management and supervision, lack of education and training, and sometimes sheer stupidity and/or lack of responsibility.

Continuing issues with dog attacks and associated media coverage have highlighted the problem. So, it is easy to see why the above constitutes an issue of major concern for councils and why they see this as

an urgent issue to be addressed.

The Animal Management (Cats and Dogs) Act 2008 already has provision for the regulation of dangerous and menacing dogs. So, what are the issues as a result of the changes which have been proposed?

Definitions AND INTERPRETATION

A significant issue with respect to the proposals will be the interpretation of what is meant by certain terms in the Act and the effect this may have.

Currently, there is a prohibition in S.195 of the Act on allowing or encouraging a dog to attack or cause fear: “A person must not allow or encourage a dog to attack, or act in a way that causes fear to, a person or another animal.” Penalties apply for breach of this provision.

It is also proposed that there will be increased penalties. Such changes are already in the process of being passed by Councils in particular Local Government Areas. It is unlikely that Councils will be persuaded to change their views on increasing penalties. Perhaps, it may be possible to persuade the government that these increased penalties should be as a result of negligence rather than strict liability.

While allowing or encouraging a dog to attack is relatively straightforward in meaning, there will be issues in determining whether a dog has acted “in a way that causes fear” as this is considerably more subjective. Evidence will also be an issue. There may also be the question of whether there are any circumstances in which an exception or defence should apply.

Currently, a “Dangerous Dog” declaration may be made for a dog only if the dog— (a) has seriously attacked, or acted in a way that caused fear to, a person or another animal; or (b) may, in the opinion of an authorised person having regard to the way the dog has behaved towards a person or another animal, seriously attack, or act in a way that causes fear to, the person or animal. A “Menacing Dog” declaration may be made for a dog on a similar basis

except that the attack was not serious.

It is also proposed in the Discussion Paper that dogs should be under “effective control” at all times in a public place. This will require consideration of what constitutes “effective control” (currently defined in S.64 of the Act with regards to regulated dogs) and also what is a “public place” for the purpose of the Act.

While it is envisaged that there may be exceptions to the above requirements eg. designated dog parks and off-leash areas, the concern is what effect such a blanket restriction may have on permitted activities including training and numerous sporting activities in which our members engage with their dogs.

This is a very significant change to the law with respect to which considerable thought should be given on the potential ramifications and with respect to which it is anticipated that specific submissions will be required.

Breed Identification

One of the major issues arising from this is the issue of breed identification. There is little, if any, data on which dog breeds are responsible for these attacks. Anecdotally, these are primarily cross-breeds. Given the number of pedigree dogs in the overall market, based on sheer numbers it is most likely that this will be the case. Further, there is a significant likelihood that the level of education in responsible dog ownership and training is likely to be higher amongst owners of pedigree dogs (although there is no data for this).

S.47 of the Act requires that the registration identify the breed.

Currently, there is no provision for identification of the dog as a cross-breed and, if so, what breeds are even likely to be in the mix. So, in most cases, the dog responsible for the attack is likely to have been identified incorrectly.

There are a number of solutions to this. Better education of council rangers with respect to breed identification, better identification of the relevant breed(s) at the time of microchipping and potential cross-checking with registration information would all lead to a more accurate picture of which dogs are actually responsible for these attacks so that prevention programs could then be better targeted.

Banning of Breeds

It is proposed that specific breeds restricted from importation under the Customs Act 1901 be banned in Queensland. There is some logic to this. Arguably, if these breeds are restricted, presumably they should not be here anyway?

The proposed ban applies to the following specific breeds: Dogo Argentino, Fila Brasileiro, Japanese Tosa, Perro de Presa Canario or Presa Canario, American Pit Bull Terrier (ABPT) or Pit Bull Terrier. Significantly, the current restriction on the import of these breeds and proposed ban does not apply to cross-breeds of the above breeds.

So, why is this of concern? This is particularly challenging from an enforcement perspective.

Currently, a restricted dog declaration may be made for a dog only if the local government is satisfied the dog is of a breed mentioned in S.63(1) of the Act.

So, how are these breeds to be identified? These breeds are not recognised by Dogs Australia due to the import restrictions. The FCI has Standards for the following breeds: Dogo Argentino, Fila Brasileiro, Japanese Tosa and Presa Canario.

DOGO ARGENTINO

JAPANESE TOSA

However, there is no standard for the ABPT as it is not considered pure bred.

So, it is possible that the FCI Standards will assist in forming the basis of decisions regarding identification of these breeds. Interestingly, a more descriptive approach to this assessment (that is, whether it looks like a particular breed) is currently utilised in the United Kingdom and has encountered substantial criticism. It is to be hoped that such an approach would not be adopted in Australia.

There are certain DNA tests available for certain breeds: eg. Dogo Argentino, Presa Canario. However, whether these tests would be considered sufficiently reliable for the purpose of court proceedings, particularly if being used to decide whether or not a dog is to be euthanised, is another matter. These tests are currently intended and used for a different purpose and there are valid concerns about these tests forming the basis of a decision to destroy a dog.

Of particular concern for the owners of pure bred dogs and specifically the owners of American Staffordshire Terriers, is that it is likely that there will be significant issues for council officers in distinguishing between the American Staffordshire Terrier and American Pit Bull Terrier (ABPT). Apparently, identification of the APBT is an issue that has been the subject of discussion for over 15 years and currently is generally considered not identifiable. It is considered to be a developmental breed made up of many types and hence no real defined standard. There are also concerns that American Pit Bull Terriers may potentially be or may have been imported as American Staffordshire Terriers to attempt to circumvent the restrictions/proposed ban. Clearly, this will be a difficult area for council officers with respect to enforcement. The identification of a dog as a ABPT and the distinction between a ABPT and the American Staffordshire Terrier has previously

been recognised as an issue (see S.63 of the Act) and has also arisen before the courts in the past (5). Given the difficulties in identification of the Pit Bull Terrier, it is anticipated that this is highly likely to continue and will be a question of the evidence available (including microchip, registration and DNA parentage testing) in each case.

Concerns have also been expressed that the proposed ban could also be expanded to encompass additional breeds. At this stage, there is no indication that the list of breeds is to be expanded. One would expect that there would be extensive community consultation in the event that such measures were ever to be proposed in the future.

Restrictions on avenues of review/appeal

In many cases, the attacking dog is left in the owner’s possession while the attack is investigated. However, if the dog is impounded, the delay can be lengthy.

Of significant concern is the proposal to restrict and/ or remove the right of review and appeal with respect to decisions, being supposedly justified due to the length of time the dog is impounded as well as the associated costs.

Perhaps instead of removing avenues of appeal, Council should be looking at ways to expedite the process. Instead of relying solely upon the Court system, Councils could look at appointing a panel of qualified independent assessors. This could significantly reduce the number of appeals and avoid the need for Court proceedings in most cases. For those cases, where the owner wishes to appeal the decision or which are the subject of further appeal, there are other options. The owner of the dog could be required to contribute towards upkeep while proceedings are pending. Further, perhaps these cases could actually be expedited through the system to significantly reduce the timeframe in which the dog is impounded (in a similar manner to the expedited handling of bail applications in which humans are incarcerated). There may be cases where “bail” is considered an appropriate alternative albeit subject to strict conditions for the keeping of the dog. These are all options which could potentially be explored.

Councils should still have a duty of care not to act prematurely and the right of appeal should be preserved. Dog owners should be entitled to natural

justice and procedural fairness. There have been cases involving issues of bias in the decision making process.

This is not to say that there should not be a balance between rights and restrictions. It is likely that some people, particularly repeat offenders, will be considered not fit to continue to keep dogs and these persons could potentially be subject to appropriate orders banning or restricting dog ownership.

Conclusion

Although not expressly stated, what is clear is that almost all dog attacks are a result of irresponsible dog ownership. So, by and large, the cause of the problem lies really with the dog owners rather than the dog.

So, will greater regulation alone prevent dog attacks? No, this is a complex problem. Clearly, education and training is key. However, without properly understanding the difficulty in identifying the dog breeds which are involved in these incidents and the underlying cause of the problem, it is likely that such education and training will be poorly targeted and therefore lead to little difference in the overcome outcome.

In every challenge lies opportunity and it is hoped that this may provide greater opportunities for Dogs Queensland to be able to work with the State Government and local councils in delivering the message about responsible dog ownership and training for dog owners and new puppy buyers and most importantly in better understanding the problem in order to ultimately find a solution.

State and National Obedience and Rally Trials

– Tabitha Young

The State and National Obedience and Rally Trials were successfully held on the Dog Sports Weekend 1-2 July 2023 at the Dogs Queensland Showgrounds at Durack.

The excitement for many handlers started on Wednesday night 28 June 2023 with a pop-up Obedience Trial to give our interstate and North Queensland visitors the opportunity to work their dogs on the field prior to the big events. Many thanks to Trial Secretary Kim Dawson, local judges, and the volunteer helpers who staged this event on short notice.

Our large cohort of interstate judges worked hard all weekend and were much appreciated by competitors:

• Jill Houston and Cheryl Bedggood from Western Australia

• Ray Ashman, Dawn Ayton, and Lisa Sinclair from Victoria

• Lynn Stapleton from South Australia

Queensland judges Daphne Sellwood and Vyvyan Mannion also judged Rally at the State Trial.

Saturday was the State Trials day:

Competitors received a welcome bag as they checked in. Many thanks to bag sponsors and donors Nexgard, Kong, Prime 100, Next Generation treats, and Oz Wagtails.

Judging commenced at 2.00pm after a delicious lunch from Wagz Café.

Competitors did some excellent work with many qualifications and titles being earned.

Prizes included Royal Canin dog food, sashes, and Queensland State Trials badged cooler bags.

Sunday was the National Trials day:

The morning was beautifully cool and all the dogs were ready to work. Once again the judges were amazing, the stewards helpful, the competitors showed good sportsmanship, and the dogs excelled.

Prizes were Royal Canin dog food, rosettes, and wooden serving platters.

We were grateful to receive sponsorship from a number of Obedience and Breed Clubs. With their support we were able to award lovely trophies for the highest combined score across the weekend in each of the nine classes, as well as even larger trophies for the highest combined score by a Rally dog and the highest combined score by an Obedience dog. A very big thank you to Pamela Kettle for organising the following sponsorship from clubs:

• Shetland Sheepdog Club of Qld

• Toowoomba Dog Obedience Club

• French Bulldog Club of Qld

• Redlands Dog Obedience Club

• Rottweiler Club of Qld

• Caboolture Dog Obedience Club

• Gold Coast Dog Obedience Training Club

• Belgian Shepherd Dog Club of Qld

It takes a village to deliver a major event like this and I personally want to thank the State Trials Subcommittee for all their work over the past 12 months. I also want to give a huge vote of appreciation to our Trial Secretary Shirley Davies for looking after the many tasks required prior to and during such a large event. Also to our many stewards – nothing would have been possible without your efforts both days. Finally, I must thank Mark and the team at Wagz Café for keeping everyone so well fed throughout the weekend.

Now for the most important news…. The Winners and the Grinners

But first, I need to make special mention of an amazing dog-handler team who achieved their Companion Dog title in three straight trials in one week. Now, this not the first time this has occurred, but what is special is this team achieved a perfect score of 200 in each of these trials! These amazing scores were earned under three judges from three different states. Well done to Charlie Queen and Von Celeque Shansa. It goes without saying that this duo were also awarded the trophy for highest combined obedience score across the State and National trials.

Also a special mention to Carolyn Strainig for not only taking out Highest Combined Score in Rally Advanced and Rally Masters with her dog Kelingrbec Hope like Hell, but she also took out the Highest combined Rally score across the State and Nationals on 199 Points.

I would also like to mention that she had a tie score with both of her dogs, Littleeden Chocolate for me, in the Combined State and National Rally Advanced on 198 points.

And the Winners are:

Our Dogs were Champions at the Pet Show

- Katrina Santas

Early July 2023 saw the Pet Show at the RNA Showgrounds where Dogs Queensland’s canines woofed their way into the hearts of nearly 12,500 visitors.

Some interesting facts about those that attended the show were:

• 41% of attendees were dog parents and 25% of them were hungry for information on what activities they could get involved with their pooches.

• 54% came away from the event with a greater awareness of the organisations that support positive pet parenting.

So, what did Dogs Queensland do to try to engage the canine pet community? Besides the petting of our well-bred and excellently socialised dogs, DQ assisted the public in learning more about who we are and how we can help them in all things canine (such as being the number one go to in Queensland for getting active with your dog)!

Our team encouraged attendees to download our Dogs Queensland App, which has all the information to keep them coming back to us, including:

• How to contact us for more information;

• Where to find their local dog sports clubs;

• How to find reputable breeders for their next new puppy; and

• The ability to join up as a member.

Thanks to Belinda Thomas and her Australian Shepherds for leading the team over the weekend with:

• Tara Payne with her Rottweilers and Shih Tzus;

• Karla Lacey with her Staffordshire Bull Terriers and Flat Coat Retrievers;

• Jolene and Sue Maguire with their Samoyeds;

• Amanda Dunne with her Cavalier King Charles Spaniels;

• Sarah West with her Tibetan Spaniels;

• Stephen Robson with his Dachshunds;

• Anthea Adamopolous with her Golden Retrievers;

• Tiff Whitfield with her English Springer Spaniels;

• Sara Sternberg with her Border Collies; and

• Bruna Ferraz and Katie Morgan with their Australian Shepherds.

“Seeing the smiles on so many faces, the ability for families and children to reach out and learn to approach and pat the dogs were countless. I was so pleased to be able to showcase our pedigree dogs and know that we were changing people’s minds and attitudes about so many breeds. I think they’re learning that a pedigree dog from a reputable breeder, raised with love equals a great family pet, no matter what the breed.”

This month at the Ekka we will also be engaging with the pubic to promote our sports, our breeders and how we are more than just a dog show community. We are the people who give us all great activities to do with our dogs – so come and join us at the Ekka and promote your breed and your dog sports on the day you are competing and tell other dog owners about the fun stuff we all do.

If you would like to join us, email Rob Harrison (rob@dogsqueensland.org.au) at DQ to get involved at the Ekka this year.

Welcome To Zone 2 News!

Sarina Kennel Club making BIG plans work their way!

- Katrina Santas

Sarina Kennel Club Inc are a small club in the northern area of Zone 2. With their never-ending fundraising efforts, they are working hard to make the next project a success. Everyone says, “many hands make light work” and that shows in this club.

This year’s project is to upgrade the current assembly ring structure with the new structure being approximately 4 times bigger than the current structure so that members and visitors are protected from all the weather types experienced in Sarina!

“We have a wonderful member, Jasmyn, who has

been very successful in the past in gaining grants for our club and we will continue upgrading the club infrastructure where needed. If any club wishes to gain advice for future grants, we are sure Jasmyn is happy to give support where she can and share a few secrets to success.”

With their exceptional team of volunteer workers, pulling together for the club and greater good, the facilities are improving in leaps and bounds at these grounds. If you haven’t been to Sarina lately, it’s time to go to a show or four … you will be made very welcome and you won’t be disappointed. Here’s what they’re up to now!

THE CENT SALE:

Over 220 people turned up to support the cent sale (which is a bit like raffles) and lucky ticket draws with well over 200+ prizes! No one was disappointed and many walked away with a few prizes … but the smiles from the public said it all as they gained a win and had a ball of a time! They all know Sarina KC in this area means active in their community!

SARINA COMMUNITY CAR RAFFLE:

The Sarina KC have been extremely lucky to be participating in the local community car raffle every year for the past 4 years. All local non-profit organisations benefit from receiving 100% of their contributions / proceeds made back to their club … so the more tickets Sarina KC sell, the more the funds the club receives.

This year, the car is a Mitsubishi ASX Auto, and donated to Mackay Rotary. Rotary then send a number of tickets out amongst local community clubs to sell and support. Those clubs sell the tickets and all tickets and money go back to Rotary to draw the raffle. Post the draw, the contributing community clubs are granted their funds … what a great initiative! So, the more funds raised, the more funds returned to the club … and that could be $10k or more!

The car raffle will be drawn by Rotary on 14 August 2023, in front of all the community participants that wish to attend with bated breath to see who will win the car this year and hear who has raised the most money.

Grab your last minute tickets through Show

Manager NOW. (LINK) Sarina KC will be live on Facebook, on the night of 14 August 2023, watching the raffle being drawn for anyone who wishes to see if they might just win the Mitsubishi ASX car.

Good luck Sarina KC with your great links to community and fundraising for your club and grounds!

Callide Valley as will all of us, always remember ... Cristina Fornasia

July 2023 saw the Callide Valley Canine Club hold their annual three show cluster on the always superb canine rings of the Bundaberg recreational grounds. The weather Gods looked favourably on the shows, albeit a little cool conditions with the breeze, but it was a perfect weekend to remember the clubs’ and more so, our show community’s, most missed and loved member, Cristina Fornasia.

Special thanks goes to Piccino Italian Greyhounds, Udah Italian Greyhounds, and Jim and Sue Cook who sponsored Crissy’s memorial show – the second of the three shows that weekend. Also, a massive thank you to the members of the Isis and District KC for their support on the day –it’s always appreciated to have clubs working together to ensure our events have great success in the Zone areas.

Lastly, thank you to all who entered, both from within Zone 2 and those that travelled from afar on the last weekend of the school holidays … the CVCC hope you enjoyed yourselves and look forward to seeing you all again at one of the great Callide Valley shows in 2024.

Without your entries and support from across the state, the regional shows like these cannot be a success, so thanks for enjoying the weekend in beautiful Bundy and remembering our dear friend, Crissy.

Show 1:

BIS winner under judge Mr Lance Wright (Qld) was the Golden Retriever, Supreme Ch Shogold Dark Knight with Runner Up being awarded to the Afghan Hound, Ch Karakush From Start to Finnish

Zone 3 News

Canine Obedience Club Of Townsville (COCT)

along for the ride. We are a team but can’t call our dog to go this way or that way – we have to ‘trust our dog’ and ‘follow the dog.’ We sometimes wonder if there is a tracklayer to be found at the end of this or has my trusty dog decided I’m following the horses, the cattle, the kangaroos or hunting birds today.

To date the club has produced 18 Tracking Champions, 4 Track and Search Champions and in 2020 the first Track and Search Grand Champion in North Queensland (T S Grand Ch T Ch Monsimbee They Call me Furi RN). This year she has been joined with 2 new Grand Champions in Track and Search. So, our Tracking and Track and Search culture remains strong.

The devastating floods of 2019 saw severe damage to the property where the COCT Tracking Trials are held which limited our tracking for a bit. But trackers are resourceful folk, and we manage to work around most challenges so much so that our July 2023 tracking trial had 12 entries. A huge entry for anyone that knows our tracking grounds – lantana, chinny apple trees, 6-foot spear grass and no open pasture.

The Canine Obedience Club of Townsville (COCT) has a long and successful history over the years of being a ‘crazy’ bunch of dogs and handlers who are found up before dawn to head out at first light to train in the dog sports known as Tracking and Track and Search.

There is something very special about spending time out in the paddock with your best mate doing something where we, the handler, are just

The other challenge of north Queensland is the heat – we must have tracks completed by 10am or the heat and humidity is too much a safety risk to both dogs and handlers. Generally, the temperatures remain too high in the afternoons as well preventing running afternoon tracks.

The July 2023 tracking trial saw 12 entries from a Track One (400m with 2 turns, a 20-minute wait with a known tracklayer) to the ultimate Track

– Debbie Schmidt

COCT Tracking and Track and Search Coordinator, Tracking and Track and Search Judge

T S Grand Ch T Ch Monsimbee They Call me Furi RN

Eight for a Tracking Champion (1200m with 7 different turns, cross tracks and a 2 hour wait to find an unknown tracklayer).

At the conclusion of this trial, six dogs successfully gained qualifiying cards on their tracks. This trial ends the tracking season for the club until 2024 and it looks like the ‘off-season’ will involve training up our new helpers with their own dogs – with interest still growing. With that, COCT would like to acknowledge all of the helpers that have made our trials possible –

without you life would have been very difficult.

At the end of the day, tracks finished, dogs rewarded and resting in crates, it is time for tracking smoko where we can reflect on the good, the bad and how much animal poo our dogs either ate or rolled in during their track. As trackers we know that regardless of the outcome of the track; the qualifying card or the pretty ribbon at the end of trial, we each get to take home the best dog in the paddock.

Happy tracking!

NQ Spring Cluster

The Burdekin Canine Club Inc will be hosting our very first shows – 2 shows on the 23 September 2023 and 1 show the 24 September 2023. We are so excited to bring Conformation Shows back to the Burdekin.

Those that have been exhibiting in North Queensland for some years will remember attending shows at the Ayr Showground around 20 years ago.

The committee are so excited to bring those fun times back to the Burdekin for the next generation – to make those magical memories of showcasing dogs in the sugar capital of Australia. The sweet smell of the cane fires at night and the next day’s harvest is an experience not to be missed.

Our shows will be held at the Ayr Showground and we have hired the entire grounds so there are lots of options for powered sites. Camping will be available from Friday 12pm until Monday 12pm at $23 per night to be paid to the Showground’s Caretaker.

We will be having Junior Handlers on Saturday between the shows with special rosettes.

We will be hosting a welcome BBQ dinner Friday night, then a full canteen with some delicious

goodies starting Saturday morning with breakfast, then covering all meals till Sunday pm. Our three shows will be themed with our club colours through our beautiful choice of ribbons – a pink show, black show and a blue show! We also have Spectacular Rosettes from Marellen Ribbons for BIS, RBIS and BIG. Competitors are welcome to join our colour theme with your outfits for a little fun!

As the Burdekin Canine Club Inc is all about having fun, we will be having a fun sock day for the Saturday pm show. The committee will be looking at all attendees’ socks and a special prize will be given at the completion of the Saturday pm show! So, start looking for those FUN socks.

Then after our shows you can head down the road to Proserpine Kennel Club for their 6-show cluster, so that’s 9 shows in 10 days! Powered camping is available at the Proserpine Showgrounds.

Our Shows are proudly sponsored by Harvey Norman Bedding, Bay City Pet Travel, Sibson Accounting, Burdekin Shire Council and many other local businesses whom we thank for their support!

Pawsitive Travels: Your Comprehensive Guide as to the Do’s & Don’ts of Travelling with Dogs

Kerry Martin

Travelling with dogs is THE best kind of travel. Alongside my two dogs Keiko and Summer, we’ve travelled Australia-wide and have the most treasured memories of our adventures together.

To whet your appetite for em-bark-ing on your own dog-inclusive trips, here are some of the reasons that make it especially pawsome:

 Dogs are the most agreeable travel companions. Nothing you want to do on holiday will ever be a bad idea to your dog. Camping out under the stars? Woof! A swim at the beach? Woof, woof, woof!

 You’ll see and explore more. With your canine companion, you’re more likely to get off the beaten track and more likely to explore by foot.

 Dogs make things more fun. The joy with which dogs approach any new experience is contagious. More laughter and more

play are guaranteed.

 You go places you otherwise wouldn’t. Your dog will take you on unexpected detours. Marvelling at the night sky on a reluctant toilet break, stumbling across a rockpool on your morning walk… The compromises you make for your pooch can become the highlights of your trip.

 It’s good for you! Aside from the physical benefits of the activity together, spending time with your dog is good for your soul. Companionship, laughter, play and snuggles make us happier.

Now to make your travel experiences the best it pawsibly can be – the dos and don’ts! And there are some to specifically take note of for Queensland travel! Being from ‘down south’, we were surprised by the number of additional ways your dog can come into to misadventure while travelling here! I’ve included special mention of these.

Hervey Bay

Before Your Departure Do

 Before camping, do a dry run first. Set up ‘camp’ in the backyard and spend a night under the stars to see if they’re a natural camper or what training they may need to make your trip successful.

 Search out the paw-fect place to head. Check out any date restrictions or if additional fees apply for dogs.

 Get your dog accustomed to their travel bed in the comfort of your own home so it’s nicely reassuring on the road.

 Make sure your canine companions are in good health and are properly and regularly treated against parasites such as fleas and ticks. In rural areas of Queensland, this includes having your dog vaccinated against Canine Leptospirosis Virus.

 Consider whether pet insurance is required in case of an accident. Keiko ruptured his cruciate a month into our trip and was rolled around in a dog pram during the period of his surgery recovery.

 Ensure your dog is microchipped and the details are up to date. If your phone is likely to be out of range, make sure there’s a second number that can be reached.

 Take along enough food for the trip, and then some. In the event of an unplanned delay, you need to be sure your dog is catered for.

 Pack a waterproof tarp or mat to protect the dog from damp ground and give comfort during rest periods.

 Before setting off check the weather expected and any warnings so that you’re well prepared.

 Pack a dog insect repellent or repellentinfused bandana in case it’s required to ward off mosquitoes which can be an irritant for dogs. Don’t

 Assume everywhere is dog-friendly.

Sadly, some caravan parks, campgrounds and accommodations are off-limits to our dogs. Do your homework first, to save from being turned away or having to stay somewhere that isn’t what you were looking for.

 Think your dog only needs water and a handful of kibble. Your dog has needs which are your responsibility to meet at all times. Plan ahead for your pooch so that all bases are covered no matter where you are.

Enroute to Your Destination

 Consider your dog’s comfort, especially on long journeys. Stop frequently to allow them to stretch their legs and relieve themselves.

 Have a travel water bowl they can reach whilst in the car.

 Secure any cargo so that it doesn’t fall onto your dog.

 Keep the temperature and speaker volume comfortable within the vehicle. If you can, turn off speakers in the area your dog travels in and ensure there is airflow to that area from the air conditioner.

 Consider using window screens, especially in the hotter months, to help prevent direct hot sun on the dogs and therefore keep them cool.

Don’t

 Allow your dog to travel loose in your vehicle. In the event of an accident or breaking suddenly, they would become a missile flying forward. Look into a crashtest-approved pod, harness, or crate to keep everyone safe on your travels.

 Leave your dog unattended in your vehicle for any length of time. Dogs die in hot cars in frighteningly short amounts of time and it’s warm to really stinking hot throughout the year in most areas of Queensland.

 Allow your dog to travel in the front passenger seat – the impact on a dog of the airbag expanding can cause significant harm.

On Arrival & At the Place You’re Staying Do

 Play by the ‘rules’. They are there to help ensure the safety, comfort and enjoyment of all visitors to that place to stay.

 Ensure you have a sturdy collar and leash. They are essential for walks and being outside in a caravan park or campsite.

If your dog loves swimming, make that two – a second collar for them to wear whilst the first one dries out.

 Observe basics for your dog’s welfare such as making sure they are secure at all times, ensuring they have a place in the shade and out of the direct sun, and daily checks for ticks, nicks or cuts.

 Make sure your dog has access to plenty of fresh drinking water. Dogs lose body fluid through panting and activities, especially in warmer conditions.

 Check your surroundings for anything toxic to dogs. We’ve found chocolates left under furniture and rodent poisons in common areas of campgrounds that you definitely want to avoid your dog coming in contact with.

 Pack a few of your dogs’ favourite toys or long-lasting chews so that they have something to do when it’s chill-out time.

 Know the location of the nearest vet, just in case.

Great Keppel Island

Don’t

 Allow your dog to wander loose around any campsite, off the property you’re staying on or into fenced-off areas. This is for their safety and also the comfort and enjoyment of others there. Consider taking a long line to give them more freedom where space allows.

 Rely on finding a stream or water source for your dog’s drinking water. Remember, not all water is safe to drink, and if it’s not recommended that you drink the water then neither should the dog.

 Allow your dog to bark unchecked. It’s irritating to those trying to enjoy the serenity.

 Leave your dog unattended, especially when it’s not permitted. It may be too hot or otherwise unpleasant for them. There is also the potential risk to the dog’s own safety from predatory wild animals, like dingoes, who will find an unattended, tethered dog easy pickings.

During Your Adventures

Do

 Take along a couple of towels specifically for the dog to use. You’ll need them if they go for a beach swim, but also after rain.

 Pack your dog first aid kit. Being out and about exposes them to a greater risk of cut pads, insect bites, or small cuts, so have the necessary disinfectants and bandages on board with you.

 Be alert for hazard warning signs about strong currents and rip tides when heading to one of the many spectacular Queensland beaches. Also be watchful as to the amount of saltwater they may be ingesting while swimming or playing. Too much can lead to salt toxicity.

 Consider packing booties for your dogs. We found Queensland to have the highest number of places with uncomfortable ouchies in the form of bindies and threecornered jacks.

 Also consider packing a cooling vest for your dog to help avert heat-related issues like heat stroke.

 Be cautious for snakes. The best ways to avoid snakes and snake bites include keeping them on-leash, not letting them explore in logs and under rocks where snakes like to hide, not walking through or camping next to long grass where you might not see them and undertaking aversion training.

Don’t

 Forget your dog’s need for exercise and mental stimulation every day even though it might be a relaxing vacation to you.

 Think being at one with nature is no excuse for not pooper scooping. Pack plenty of poop bags! Fouling accommodation spaces, camp areas or the places you head out together is not only disgusting but discouraging these places from being open to canine kind in the future.

 Allow your dog to roam out of sight. There are a number of risks to dogs including baiting, crocodiles and cane toads in

Queensland that can be lethal if a dog comes into contact with them. And at beaches, there are other nasties like jellyfish and puffer fish. Many will travel with a muzzle to help prevent dogs from ingesting things they shouldn’t.

 Head out in the hottest part of the day. We’ve mentioned the heat found in Queensland and when out this has the potential to cause paw pad burns when your dog is walking on concrete, sand, boat decking or fake grass.

 Overlook your dog’s basic needs for a clean and tidy coat even though you are away. Indeed, combing and brushing at the end of each day is a great way of checking for ticks, grass seeds and burrs so that you can remove them immediately.

 Allow your dog to chase or interfere with Australian wildlife. This is for the protection of the wildlife but also your dog’s – some can be fearsome especially if in fear of their own self-preservation.

AND overall the largest DOs of all:

 Have fun together!

 Take plenty of photos of the special times you have together.

Breeder Alert –

Puppy Scam Websites

Dogs Queensland has become increasingly aware of Puppy Scam Websites using legitimate Dogs Queensland Registration and Queensland Breeder Identification (BIN) Numbers to sell puppies. Dogs Queensland Registration Numbers are obtained from legitimate websites such as Dogs Queensland or DogzOnline, where they are displayed as required by the Queensland Government.

Please see the Queensland Dog Breeder Fact Sheets for regulations and guidelines for Queensland Dog Breeders.

An example of a typical scam is:

• A Dogs Queensland Membership number is lifted from current advertising on the internet.

• The scammer researches and obtains personal details of the breeder including name, suburb, prefix.

• A domain name similar to the Kennel prefix is registered on an offshore registry.

• Once the breeder has ceased advertising the litter of puppies a new website is published.

• No physical address or phone numbers are advertised on the website.

• The seller avoids permitting you to physically see the cyber puppy and only sends non genuine pictures.

• The seller insists on only accepting payment by a crypto currency or a funds transfer.

As a breeder what can you do to avoid being an unknowing victim of a Puppy Scam:

• Regularly Google search the internet for websites using a similar Domain Name as your Prefix.

• Put a warning notification in your online advertising to alert buyers to check any website they are looking at is legitimate.

• Encourage puppy buyers to verify breeder information with Dogs Queensland and make direct inperson contact with you.

• Ensure puppy buyers check communications are made with verified contact details.

• Encourage puppy buyers to meet the puppy and breeder before handing over payments.

As a buyer what can you do to avoid being a victim of a Puppy Scam:

• Verify breeder information with Dogs Queensland.

• Ensure communications are made to verified contact details.

• Meet the puppy and breeder before handing over payments.

• If paying online, use a credit card or PayPal where you have a degree of buyer protection.

• Check website is an established site with a website security certificate.

• Avoid websites without physical address or phone numbers.

• A sk for proof, including ANKC registration papers and veterinary health records for any puppy. Importantly you should report any suspect sites or advertising to the ACCC ScamWatch website. Please let us know about any suspect websites too by contacting Dogs Queensland on 3252 2661 or by email at info@dogsqueensland.org.au
