President’s Message

“

I

t is hard to believe that the month of January has passed already. I hope that you and your families and dogs have had some nice times over this summer holiday period.

It would seem that the COVID-19 situation is thankfully settling into a more manageable period although it remains dynamic. This has been evidenced with Perth, Western Australia, going into an 8-day lockdown period.

Although travel interstate for dog events and judging is more on the agenda, one needs to be prepared to “up stumps” and head home on relatively short notice so as to avoid any mandatory quarantine periods.

And it is great to see more Queensland clubs planning COVID-19 compliant dog shows and sports events in 2021. I remind organisers that the office and directors are more than happy to assist in the whole area of COVID-19 compliance.

As we know 2020 was a very challenging year for our dog world and for our individual members in coping with the health concerns and economic fallout. Staying closer to home was a given, and was a mixed blessing depending on individual circumstances.

Despite the drastically reduced number of conformation dog shows and dog sports events and related DQ revenue in 2020, initiatives such as JobKeeper, the reduction of expenses where possible, and additional revenue from litter registrations assisted greatly with our balance sheet. I am looking forward to the release of the audited financial statements in the near future.

2021 will hold its own special challenges but I am confident that Dogs Queensland will be the equal to these challenges and will provide the underpinning to a new normality in our dog world with many opportunities to participate in our chosen disciplines.

It will be a year when volunteer support will be stretched so I do encourage those of you who do not volunteer assistance to our affiliated clubs and to Dogs Queensland to think about doing so. It is a great way to give back that little bit to our dog world when we gain so much pleasure from these activities with our dogs.

Have a chat to Rob in the office or to any of our directors if you are after some inspiration about clubs to join and volunteering areas.

Grounds Update – Durack More detailed grounds reports have been provided but I note that some good milestones have been achieved.

We are now looking to the installation of new shade structures on the rings commencing early March 2021. It has been so important to settle on the right treatment that will suit our needs in the long term. A budgetary allowance has been made for this important expenditure.

Members will have noticed the completion of construction of the new shed behind the clubhouse.

This will be a great storage resource and was completely funded by grants moneys.

The Current Election and Email Addresses As members would know, we have the ballot for the election of 6 directors currently underway. One of the important rights and privileges you have as a member is to vote and I encourage you to exercise this right and privilege.

Most members will be voting online, and, to that end, the Returning Officer was provided with the most recent email addresses for eligible members. About 100 of those email addresses were not current. These members are being contacted and asked to respond with their current email address so that they will be able to vote.

Many of us change our email addresses from time to time. When you do, make sure you contact the office and update your email contact details. This will also ensure that you receive your copies of the Dog World magazine and Paw Prints.

Mr Ley James A feature on the special presentation to Mr Ley James by the Cairns City Kennel Club on 30 January will appear in the March 2021 magazine. Ley has been the President of the Club since 1985 and his contribution to the Cairns region and to our wider dog world has been immense.

A special tribute to Ley has been the naming of the club grounds as the Ley James Canine Arena. I congratulate Ley on this special recognition and look forward to his continuing contribution to our dog world.

BOARD NOTES – FEBRUARY 2021 2021 FEES In setting the Fees for 2021, the Board looked at the uncertainty that still exists with the COVID Pandemic continuing into 2021 and endeavoured to keep any fee increases to an absolute minimum.

The fees around events are now set for 2021 also.

The following changed fees have been agreed upon and are effective for all applications received in the Dogs Queensland office after 1 January 2021.

I would make the following notes;

the cost of the Limited Register the same as the Main Register if the pup is DNA tested at the time of registration.

• The Transfer cost is now standardised to take away the confusion of 4 separate Transfer Fees.

• Title and Award Fees have again increased minimally.

• Massey DNA Costs has been brought into line with those of other providers.

• For Events held post 1 January 2021, a levy

• Litter Registration Fees have increased minimally will replace the existing administration fee and for Main Register Dogs. The Board has also made

at the same venue being Dogs NSW Showgrounds, Orchard Hills, New South Wales.

Members will have seen the weekly Transaction Time Index that is provided in Paw Prints.

As an overview for 2020, we received 3302 Litters in the Office, of these Litters 57% were submitted incomplete or incorrectly requiring written contact with the breeder from the Office. Examples include but are not limited to the following; • Missing Credit Card Information • Limited Register Form Errors • Membership and Ownership issues • Missing Forms, ie Colour Verification, Certificate of Fitness, AI Forms

APPROVAL OF 2021 NATIONAL SHOW/ RESTRICTED TRIALS: SHETLAND SHEEPDOG CLUB OF NSW – CHANGE OF DATE

• Signatures of Breeders or Stud Dog Owners • Missing or Incorrect Microchip Numbers • Orivet DNA Parentage Certificate Errors Of the 57% of sendbacks, approximately half of these were due to incomplete or missing DNA information.

The Board acted earlier in the year to extend the cheaper registration deadline form 3 months to 4 months and this will be kept in place to allow breeders more time to complete the DNA Parentage Verification prior to submission.

The Board has taken note of these send back rates and noted the extra workload placed on the Office and has agreed that from 1st March, any litter received in the Office that requires further written contact with the breeder will incur a $10 handling fee.

APPROVAL OF 2020 NATIONAL SHOW APPLICATION: BEAGLE CLUB OF QUEENSLAND – RESCHEDULED TO 2021 DUE TO COVID-19 Please note we have received advice from the Beagle Club of Queensland via Dogs Queensland that the 2021 National Show they were to conduct on 5 to 7 August 2021 is to be indefinitely postponed due to the potential for ongoing implementation of COVID-19 government health measures and the risk of hard border closures affecting Judges and interstate exhibitors.

APPROVAL OF 2021 NATIONAL SHOW/ RESTRICTED TRIALS: GERMAN SHORTHAIRED POINTER SOCIETY (NSW) INC – CHANGE OF DATE The ANKC in referring to their email below (in italics) advise a change of date of this National Show/ Restricted Trials to be conducted by the German Shorthaired Pointer Society (NSW) Inc.

The RAS of NSW has confirmed these dates will not clash with the breed judging at the 2021 Sydney Royal Show.

The ANKC in referring to their email below (in italics) also advises a change of date for this National Show/ Restricted Trial to be conducted by the Shetland Sheepdog Club of NSW. The new dates for this event will be 20 & 21 April 2022 at the same venue being Dogs NSW Showgrounds, Orchard Hills, New South Wales. The Club has confirmed the RAS has acknowledged these national dates however this approval is subject to the Club providing written confirmation from the RAS these dates will not clash with the breed judging at the 2022 Sydney Royal Show once the RAS has commenced their schedule of planning for 2022.

We are pleased to advise the approval of the application received from the Shetland Sheepdog Club of NSW via Dogs NSW for their 2021 National Show with Restricted to Breed Obedience & Rally Obedience trial to be held on 31 August & 1 September 2021 at the Bill Spilstead Complex for Canine Affairs, 44 Luddenham Road, Orchard Hills, New South Wales.

TORNJAK RECLASSIFICATION The National Breed Standards Coordination Group has considered a request for the reclassification of the Tornjak from Group 5 to Group 6.

The Group has noted and agreed that as the Tornjak is an FCI breed which has been allocated by its registering body and country of origin into FCI Group 2.2 which covers all the mountain dwelling Livestock Guardian breeds such as the Pyrenean Mountain Dog, Caucasian Shepherd Dog, Central Asian Shepherd Dog and the Kangal which are normally placed in our Group 6, they have agreed to the request.

As a result this breed will now be moved from Group 5 to Group 6.

THE POODLE

Poodles are not only listed as the second smartest dog breed in the world, they are also one of the most versatile.

SO YOU WANT TO OWN A POODLE

The basic areas to explore when planning to purchase a Poodle are: The Breeder – Registered / reputable / recommended / will they mentor you?

Accommodation – safe, secure, clean, comfortable and weatherproof.

Food – no fads, just basic good nutrition for physical fitness.

Variety – Consider expense, size, your situation, family, holidays etc.

Exercise – socialization at first, more physical exercise as the puppy matures then daily commitment.

The Vet – your new best friend.

Grooming routines – after puppy training 5

minutes daily, ½ hour weekly and a 6-weekly visit to the groomer (your new second best friend).

Training – early puppy training in particular involves a time commitment by you. Use your local Obedience Club (check the Dogs Queensland website www.dogsqueensland.org.au).

Companionship – your Poodle is a friend, not an accessory.

HISTORY

The Poodle’s origins can be found mainly in Germany, France and Russia. The word Poodle derives from the German word ‘Pudel’ meaning to splash in water. Appearing in European art from the fifteenth century (1400’s), Poodles became the national dog of France and a popular companion dog. Poodle Clubs were formed in the United Kingdom in 1876, in the USA in 1931 and in New South Wales in 1955.

Did you know Winston Churchill owned a Miniature Poodle called ‘Rufus’? Standard Poodles are the largest of the breed and were bred as water retrievers. The thick coat and the traditional trims reflect the practical requirements of retrieving in cold European waters.

Research the breed – this can’t be stressed hard enough. Poodles do think they are humans on 4 paws and will own you, not vice versa! They are a very intelligent breed and crave companionship.

Research the breeder, find those that breed the size you want and get a recommendation from someone who knows the breed.

Avoid cross breed dogs despite the stories you

A reputable poodle breeder will have good lines in their breeding, usually stick to one or two solid colours and can show you genetic test results. Often they will have all their breeding stock to view and can show you previous litter information to give you a better idea of size, colour and look of the pup. Their pups will be robust, healthy, have an excellent temperament, come from good size litters and give you a positive, passionate vibe for their dogs. They will also be supportive in your choices and offer after sales support and be professional with all dealings with you.

SUITABILITY WITH CHILDREN

Miniature and Toy Poodles were developed over the centuries as companions, circus and street performers, and for searching out truffles – the mushroom-like fungus used in gourmet cooking.

In Australia Poodles performed in circuses on the gold fields in the nineteenth century. Poodles first appeared in a show catalogue at the Sydney Royal Easter Show of 1873. At first all Poodles were shown as ‘Standards’. The first classification of a Miniature Poodle at a Sydney Royal Easter Show occurred in 1950. Toy Poodles are now extremely popular.

FINDING A POODLE

will hear. Crossing poodles with other breeds only serves to create genetic time bombs – • shorten life spans, • often leads to early blindness, heart and limb problems, • poor temperaments and • often other serious problems, as well as huge vet bills – definitely not what you want in a poodle.

All dogs require responsible training and socialization to become good companions.

Poodles of all sizes are suitable to be around children as long as supervised by a responsible adult. Children should also be provided with advice so they can learn about the needs of the dog and be aware of basic handling requirements. It is important children remain calm around dogs and young children may require additional supervision. Toy Poodles are small dogs and may require extra care to avoid injury from active, boisterous children. Standard Poodles are large dogs and young children cannot be expected to take responsibility for them.

EXERCISE REQUIREMENTS Can you commit? Adult Standard Poodles benefit from regular, moderately vigorous outside exercise and stimulation. However, puppy outings (after 12-weeks of age) should be primarily for experience and socialization, and care should be taken not to over-exercise the pup. The smaller varieties of Poodles also benefit from regular outings, especially if living in an apartment or townhouse. Smaller Poodles can be

satisfied with a mix of walks and active games in a good sized garden. Diet and exercise need to be in balance to avoid weight issues. Avoid rigorous exercise in hot weather and immediately after meals. Dogs should have access to fresh water.

HEIGHT, SIZE AND LONGEVITY

The Australian National Kennel Council (ANKC) recognizes only three sizes. These are: Standard 38cm (15 inches) and over at the top of the shoulder, and usually over 55cm (22 inches); Miniature 28cm (11 inches) and under 38cm (15 inches) and Toy under 28cm (11 inches). ‘Pocket Poodle’, ‘Teacup Poodle’ or ‘Royal Standard Poodle’ are not recognized in Australia as these names were only ever used as a marketing ploy. Toy Poodle’s average life span is 12 years; Miniature Poodles can live up to 16 years and Standards being a larger dog usually have a shorter lifespan but can live up to 15 years.

Poodles life span depends entirely on their care and breeding.

COLOUR CONFUSION

COAT MAINTENANCE

All Poodles require daily attention and regular brushing, bathing and trimming. Regular clipping (e.g. 6-week cycles) and a short pet or sporting trim can help to reduce the amount of work required. The coat must never be allowed to mat or tangle and care must be taken to keep the eyes, ears (inside and out), mouth, feet and anal area clean. Diet and products used in coat maintenance can influence overall colour, coat

Colours according to the ANKC: A Poodle can be any solid colour including black, white, cream, brown, silver, blue and apricot. Some of these solid colours will have shade variants especially browns, silvers and apricot. However, they must

be of a solid colour and show no mark or other colour in their coats. Mixed colour or parti-colour Poodles cannot be registered on main register to be shown but can compete in all dogs sports on the limited register. Silver and blue poodles are born jet black with tiny wisps of greyish tinged hair in the pads of their feet. Over the first few weeks fading of the black coat to show patches of grey indicates a silver or blue. It can take up to 3 years for the Poodle to complete the colour change. Blues have a blue tinge to their skin and often look brownish in the sun or strong light.

Silvers grow black new growth in their coat, which as it grows longer slowly fades to silver or grey. They also have a different texture to their coat and often remain ‘softer’ to touch than other colours with less curl.

strength and density. Bitches going through season or in pup will often drop coat and a colour change happens when new coat grows through.

With browns and apricots, strong sunlight will bleach the coat.

of identifying their own dog coming out of the marsh covered in reeds, mud and water. This was done using coloured ties attached to the top of the head – hence the fashion and term “Topknot” was born.

The Poodle coat changes to a harsher, denser quality at around 10-12 months of age (Coat Change). During this period matting must be avoided in pet Poodles with daily brushing and by keeping the coat short. Show Poodles require frequent bathing, brushing and trimming during coat change. The adult plush quality coat lends itself to easy trimming. The true Poodle coat does not shed like other dogs and is said to be nonallergenic. These qualities (and others) can be lost by careless and cross breeding.

As well as this ‘Topknot’, Poodles in those early days also sported a specific coat style – • full mane on chest, face showing some hair (often a short beard and moustache), • on each leg base a clump of coat roughly shorn and called a ‘Pom’ whose purpose is to protect the dogs hocks and help disperse the cold, • the top of front legs were shaved as were the rear top of the legs and back end, leaving only small rosettes on the back behind the mane to supposedly help protect the dog’s kidneys from cold extremes.

• shaving the legs was to allow free swimming and stop entanglement in river or lake growth.

This modern clip style called ‘Continental’ was due to the region it was originally used on the breed. These days the poodle can be seen in a variety of clips from pet styles for those as pets, to sports competitor poodles, with other elaborate styles for show dogs. There are recommended styles outlined in the show rules.

VERSATILITY

Poodles are not only listed as the second smartest dog breed in the world, they are also one of the most versatile. The original breeding was designed to produce a guardian dog for the owners, as well as a hunting and water retrieving working dog venturing out onto lakes and waterways in European countries to work alongside their human retrieving water birds and other small game. As several poodles would often be out together, the owner devised a system

variety Poodles still compete in hunting trials with decoys. Many poodles compete in circus troupes, with owners entertaining and competing in the Dances with Dogs sporting discipline, Trick Dog competitions, Agility, Obedience, Rally O Trials, Lure Coursing, Tracking, Fly Ball, Disk Dog, Herding and some have gained their Endurance Titles. As well as being excellent working dogs for search and rescue, therapy/service dogs, there have been others trained as Guide Dogs.

The calm, intelligent, robust Poodle lends itself to many sporting pursuits or is just as happy to chill out on the couch with owner. A size for everyone!

If you desire a larger breed the Standard is the choice, however think carefully about how much car room you have, your bed size, and grooming costs as well as that time you might need to fly your dog somewhere.

The Miniature size is by far the most popular and are just a smaller size down from the original Standard. The Toy size took a lot longer to create and there is some suggestion they do have a background of another breed as this size are obviously not water retrievers. They were depicted in many early European paintings and photographs as much loved lap dogs of the gentry of the day. The more fragile cousin of the larger Poodle is much more energetic and vocal. Careful breeding needs to be adhered to so conformity to their size and temperament is

DOG WORLD February 2021

The ideal Poodle owner is a caring, sensible person who takes the responsibilities of owning a dog seriously and is willing to commit to regular grooming sessions.

The Poodle owner must have the capacity to provide quality lifelong care including accommodation, coat care, feeding, exercise, training, health care (when required) and companionship. Poodles thrive on human companionship and do not do well if deprived of this companionship for extended periods of time on a regular basis.

Open Shows are held each year in March and the Champion Show in September. Nationals are organised on a rotational basis in each state with the next to be held in Perth 2022.

Dog Sports – Scent Work INTRODUCTION TO QLD FOUNDATION SCENT WORK JUDGES Since the ANKC approval of the introduction of the new dog sport of Scent Work, the process of selecting and training Foundation Judges has been under way, under the direction of the ANKC National Scent Work Committee.

The training program for the Foundation Judges began in September and has been comprehensive, and tightly packed into a short period, with a view to these judges being assessed for accreditation in early 2021.

In Queensland, the National Scent Work Committee selected three trainee judges for the Foundation Judges’ Training Program – Debby Lamprecht and Mike Jeavons (both from the south-east corner) and Silke Weyland from Cairns. Debby Lamprecht is a very experienced Tracking and Track and Search judge who has taught Scent Work and scent theory throughout Queensland and New South Wales for many years. Mike Jeavons is an experienced professional detection dog trainer and handler

and Silke is mentored by a detection dog handler/trainer in Cairns and has been running much sought-after Scent Work classes for more than 18 months. Both Mike and Silke compete in Tracking and Track and Search.

Judy Pillinger, Chairperson of the National Scent Work Committee, has congratulated the three trainee judges, not only on their excellent exam results, but also for the very high standard of their Search Evaluations and Supervisor Reports for practical sessions. Silke has not had the opportunity to work with other experienced Scent Work peers but has provided an incredible amount of video footage of her work.

Debby and Mike have worked very well together, sharing resources and volunteers. Queensland should be very proud of the quality of their Foundation Judges.

The Judges’ Training Program involves extensive online studies, accompanied by practical work and assessments. The theory and practical assessments cover, amongst other things, understanding of the characteristics and movement of odour, environmental and other factors affecting the

placement of hides and the design of searches at each level (Novice, Advanced, Excellent and Masters), managing the search area and assessing the dog and handler team as they undertake the search.

A requirement of the Judges’ Training Program is to conduct a mock Scent Work Trial and undertake several practical assessments. To assist the Foundation Judges meet these practical requirements, both Pine Rivers Dog Training Club and the Cairns City Kennel Club conducted mock Scent Work Trials. The mock trials followed the Scent Work trialling structure, albeit not all elements (Interiors, Exteriors, Containers and Vehicles) were offered at all levels.

Club members and friends involved in the two clubs’ Scent Work classes participated in the mock trials as competitors and assisted with stewarding. The mock trials provided the clubs, trainee judges and competitors great insights into the nuances of judging, conducting and competing in Scent Work Trials.

The three Queensland Foundation judge trainees are indebted to the clubs, supervisors, handlers and their mentors on the NSWC who have supported them and look forward to furthering the development of this exciting sport in 2021 and beyond.

Special thanks to Dogs Queensland for their continued support, especially Director Barb Murfet for her assistance and direction in all aspects of the promotion of ANKC Scent Work.

CAIRNS PRESENTATIONS

For each trainee, their theory and practical examinations are assessed independently by three assessors and submitted to the National Scent Work Committee for final accreditation which is expected to occur in approximately February 2021. From this time, clubs can commence conducting titling Scent Work Trials.

Water – ABCs of poisons

– Animal Poisons Helpline Have you ever paid attention to your dog’s swimming technique? Watch your dog the next time they are swimming; do they jump or dive into the water, cause lots of splashing with their doggy paddle, hold their head too low in the water, swim with their mouth open or cough when they come out of the water? If so, their swimming style might make them more prone to water intoxication.

Excessive voluntary water consumption is usually an indicator of an underlying medical condition and should be assessed by a veterinarian.

However, there are circumstances where water is ingested unnecessarily and this can lead to water intoxication. Examples include dogs that have been swimming, especially if retrieving objects in the water, diving or chasing waves, and those that enjoy

• Transcervical insemination with fresh, chilled and frozen semen.

• Semen collection and freezing.

• In-house progesterone testing - results in 20 minutes.

• Dog and bitch fertility assessment and much more.

playing in a stream of water from a hose or sprinkler.

Swimming in rough water may also increase water ingestion.

Excess fresh water consumption lowers the sodium concentration of the blood; a condition called hyponatraemia. This leads to movement of the water into cells throughout the body. Most organs can cope ok with this swelling, but the brain cannot expand very much since it is encased in the bone of the skull. If brain swelling is severe or prolonged, irreversible brain damage may result.

Excess salt water consumption increases the sodium concentration in the blood; a condition called hypernatraemia. This leads to movement of water from inside cells into the blood, causing the cells to shrink. When this happens in the brain, the brain cells can separate from their myelin coating leading to reduced transmission of electrical signals. This results in permanent brain damage.

Early signs of water intoxication from either fresh or salt water ingestion include lethargy, vomiting, diarrhoea and/or bloating. Signs of brain

dysfunction include weakness, confusion, loss of coordination, muscle tremors, seizures and coma.

Water intoxication is a true medical emergency and veterinary treatment must be sought immediately to prevent permanent brain damage. Careful treatment with diuretics or low sodium fluids along with regular blood sodium monitoring is necessary to ensure brain function is preserved.

If your dog has a susceptible swimming style avoid throwing objects for them to retrieve or use a flat object to allow them to better hold their mouth closed. Consider the use of a dog life jacket/ floatation device to keep them higher in the water.

If visiting the beach, even for a short period, always carry ample fresh water and a travel bowl with you.

Offer your pooch a drink every 15 minutes; this will make them less likely to drink sea water and if they do, the fresh water should help to balance out the salt consumed.

First Aid:

fRACTUREs Joanne Bibby – Fursafe® A break in one or more bones of the dog’s skeletal system is called a fracture. For example this may be the limbs, joints, hips, pelvis, head, jaw or ribcage.

Essentially where a bone exists there is risk of fracture if the following incidences occur: 1. Impact trauma

• vehicle accident • fall from height • crushed by being driven over • firearms 2. Physical trauma

• kicking / beating • dog fight 3. Medical condition

long bone (femur), located between the hip and the knee joint. Supportive figures show there are approximately 45% femoral fractures compared to 26% tibial fractures. Three out of four small animals experience a long bone fracture in the hind limb1.

types of fractures “The shape and severity of the fracture depends on the force and type of the trauma”2 Fractures are classified as:

• Incomplete fracture

The break is only partway through the bone.

• Complete fracture

The bone is broken through completely, including bone fragment.

• tumors • bone disorders which can be caused by poor

• Transverse

• other underlying diseases

• Oblique

nutrition, vitamin deficiency; or

The most common of all fractures to dogs is to the

The break is at right angles, straight across the bone.

The break is diagonal creating sharp bone fragments.

DON’T FORGET TO VOTE!

DOG WORLD February 2021

• Comminuted

The break is in multiple pieces or all shapes and sizes.

As a dog owner it may only be possible to determine a fracture looking at the signs and symptoms, concluding a closed or open fracture and then administer emergency first aid based on that and or where the fracture is located.

b. Is your dog responding to your voice or your touch? If not, your dog may be unconscious. c. Send for help; if there is someone else in the house get them to do things like get the first aid kit, prepare the car, call the Vet. They may help you in lifting your dog and maintaining spinal and fracture precautions.

An open fracture means that the bone has pieced the skin and a closed fracture simply means it has not broken through the skin. We want to stabilise and protect from infection and further pain.

d.

Check the airway for blockages or foreign objects – remove if there is. If your dog sustained an impact trauma there may be teeth in the mouth, swollen or injured tongue.

‘a major impact trauma could cause multiple bone fractures throughout the dog’s skeletal system’3

e.

Check the breathing (respirations) e.g. count the rise and fall of the chest – start artificial respiration if not breathing. Is the breathing normal or shallow, fast or not breathing? If there was damage to the lungs or brain after a major trauma your dog may cease breathing at any time.

f.

Check circulation (pulse) – does your dog have a pulse? Injury to the chest, brain, lungs, severe bleeding and or damage to other internal organs may cause the heart to cease – start CPR f no pulse.

signs & symptoms Your dog may show some or all of the following:

•

Dog reacts in pain to touch.

•

Localised swelling or bone deformity.

•

Loss of movement in the injured limb.

•

Unable to walk or stand on leg; carries limb off the ground; limb may appear to be swinging.

•

Bone has pierced the skin (open fracture).

•

Loud crunching noise (crepitus) on movement.

•

Dog appears confused.

•

Difficulty breathing.

•

Depending on location of fracture, dog could experience total or partial paralysis.

•

Dog may experience intense pain when trying to sit down or get back up.

and bite you.

action Remember, if your dog experiences a fall from height or major trauma treat for potential spinal injury.

1. Undertake Primary Assessment a.

32

Check for Dangers – a danger may be that you are in traffic for example. A danger to your dog may be that they have sustained a spinal injury and not managing for spinal injuries may cause permanent disability or be life-threatening. Dog may become aggressive

DOG WORLD February 2021

2. Muzzle your dog to avoid being bitten (unless dog has breathing difficulties, jaw injury or chest injury).

3. Keep animal still, physically restrain to ensure it remains still for treatment and to not impact injury further.

4. Place a padded wound bandage on the injured limb. a. Immobilise leg with splint; support the limb above and below the break.

Slide the splint under the limb; do not lift the limb if you can help it. If the break is in the femur and you decide to splint, ensure the splint covers the entire leg, it will help reduce pain when moving your dog.

Secure the splint in place. b. Makeshift splints: piece of wood; ruler; flattened box; cardboard or folded tea towel are all good for stabilising fractures. c.

DON’T FORGET TO VOTE!

Put a cone on the dog if you have one. You could use a towel wrapped around the neck and secure closed with a rolled bandage, belt etc.

5.

For an open fracture where the bone protrudes out of the skin, put a donut bandage in place.

(Alternatively use 2 rolled bandages, one either side of exposed bone); wrap with bandage to ensure the bone is covered and protected (ensure the donut / rolled bandages sit higher than the exposed bone), then splint opposite side.

6. Place dog in carrier, crate or open box to transport to vet. Do not lie the dog on the injured side.

Small dogs Carry in arms making sure the injured side is not against your body. Support head and hips, or place into carrier before taking to car.

Large dogs Place on blanket and get someone else to help ‘stretcher’ dog or if dog can walk despite one injured leg, support with a sling, e.g., use a towel and place under hips to secure when walking to car or to lift into vehicle.

7. Wrap in warm blanket.

8. Monitor during transport to the vet to make sure the dog is staying still and not resting on injured limb.

If you have a driver:

• If your dog stops breathing, begin artificial respiration on the way to the vet surgery.

• If your dog’s heart stops beating, begin CPR on the way to the vet surgery.

Keeping your dog entertained

during a coronavirus lockdown – Royal Canin Providing mental stimulation for dogs in the coronavirus lockdown not only helps to alleviate boredom, but may ease the anxiety caused by changes to their routine.

The COVID-19 pandemic has altered day-to-day life everywhere, and your dog’s usual routine has probably been impacted too. They may be napping, eating, and walking at different times or spending more time indoors due to a local lockdown. These changes can cause stress and boredom, so it’s important to establish new routines and use mentally stimulating dog toys to keep them entertained and ease any anxiety they may feel.

WHY DOES MY DOG NEED MENTAL STIMULATION? Dogs were originally bred for jobs that made use of their intelligence, like herding or retrieving.

Toys, games and training sessions help your dog to express these natural behaviours and exercise

38

DOG WORLD February 2021

their brains by challenging their initiative. These mental workouts are just as important to your dog as physical activity and are similarly exhausting for them. They play a key role in your dog’s welfare, confidence, and happiness.

SIGNS YOUR DOG NEEDS FURTHER MENTAL STIMULATION A dog with insufficient mental stimulation will become frustrated and look for outlets to burn their energy, which can lead to perceived problem behaviours such as excessive barking, digging, jumping, restlessness, attention-seeking, and destruction.

If your dog displays one or more of these traits, it may be a sign that they’re bored and need more mental exercise.

HOW TO KEEP YOUR DOG ENTERTAINED While the pandemic presents new challenges, there are still lots of entertainment activities you can play at home with your dog – everything from

DON’T FORGET TO VOTE!

scent games and training sessions, to dog puzzle toys. These not only stimulate and tire out your dog but also strengthen the bond between you.

GIVE THEM A DOG FOOD PUZZLE Dogs are motivated by food, so any activities that challenge them to work for meals or treats will be very satisfying for them.

An easy way to introduce food toys is with a dog food puzzle bowl. These encourage your dog to forage through ridges, shapes, and patterns and are particularly good at slowing down dogs that eat their meals too quickly or gulp at their food.

Once they’ve mastered the bowl, you can move onto more intricate dog food puzzle toys that require greater problem-solving skills.

Dog toys that you fill with food are another way of keeping them occupied for extended periods – just remember to increase the difficulty slowly as you don’t want your dog to become frustrated and give up.

TEACH THEM A NEW SKILL Training is certain to provide your dog with a mental challenge. Initially, you could work on simple commands and basic obedience lessons, before progressing on to more complex skills.

Be sure to work to their level and keep your sessions brief – perhaps two or three five-minute sessions per day. If your dog finds the training too challenging, they may lose interest.

closed during the pandemic, you can still play and practice at home.

A DIY dog agility course that challenges them to jump, crawl and weave through various household obstacles will be fun and mentally stimulating for your dog. Even something simple like playing a game of frisbee in the garden can be extremely rewarding. Make sure any potential hazards are removed before setting up a course, control the length and intensity of the sessions and always provide access to clean water to avoid pet exhaustion.

PLAY A SCENT GAME A dog’s nose plays a fundamental role in their understanding of the world. They constantly use their sense of smell to gather up information about their surroundings and assess their food.

Nose work games play upon this by teaching dogs to show or tell you what they smell – which is incredibly stimulating for them. The simplest scent games for dogs involve scattering their food and encouraging them to forage around for it. You can play these games indoors on a hard, wipeable

Regardless of how successful the training is, stay enthusiastic and reward them with their favourite toy or a small treat. Make sure any treats are taken out of their daily ration. Once they’ve learnt a new skill, you can ask your dog to use the trick in different ways to add variety to your sessions – like retrieving items from around the home.

Playing sports together is a useful and exciting way to build your partnership and strengthen the bond you share. Exercise is also one of the most efficient ways to help reduce the risks of obesity, respiratory problems and heart disease. While many of the usual outdoor sporting activities and dog training classes have been disrupted or

floor surface or outside in your yard or garden.

More complex activities may involve searching for hidden toys or concealing treats within paper bags or boxes and directing them to choose the right one. Make sure your dog does not ingest any of the objects used to hide treats.

A popular brain game for dogs is to take a muffin tin, put some treats in a few of the tin holes, and then place a tennis ball on top of each hole. The dog then moves the balls to solve the puzzle and find the treats within. Always remember any treats must be taken from your pets daily feeding ration to help prevent excess calorie intake.

ROTATE THEIR TOYS Even the best dog puzzle toys become less exciting over time, so try to swap them out frequently to keep your dog entertained. Even old toys will seem like new after a few days away.

GIVE THEM ALONE TIME TOO Keeping your dog active and mentally stimulated is important, but they may also need time for themselves. If they’re not accustomed to you being at home all of the time, they may now require extra space away from you.

Your dog may take itself off to another room or become irritable when you’re near. Signs to watch

out for are yawning, licking their lips, turning away, or growling.

If your dog displays these behaviours let them come to you for petting. We’d also suggest talking to your veterinarian in case there’s another underlying cause.

STAY ACTIVE Depending upon where you live, you may find there are coronavirus lockdown restrictions regarding where, how and when you walk your dog. We understand this can be difficult, but if possible, try to schedule set times for your outdoor activities and maintain a recognisable routine for your dog.

Every walk should be interesting, so allow your dog time to sniff around and find safe places where they can wander and run freely. This will help to keep their walks both physically and mentally stimulating. During the pandemic, you may want to restrain yourself from petting other dogs and the same for your dog being pet by others.

Whatever games, training, or activities you play with your dog, remember to supervise them at all times and stay positive. If you feel they’d benefit from more help, make sure you seek the advice of your veterinarian.
