DOG WORLD November 2019

Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Message

ur dog world year is starting to wrap up and what a year it has been! A recent highlight was DOTY and POTY. For the many who were there a great night was had. Thanks to the DOTY Committee for putting on a fine event. Events like that only happen with lots of committee work behind the scenes and welcome sponsorship. November is another big month with conformation, obedience, lure coursing and herding events and some exciting club events. For example, on 12 November the Beagle Club is putting on an information session about their rehoming and rescue service. I encourage other breed clubs to send someone along to learn from their considerable experience. There may be some ambit for DQ to assist in the coordination of rescue activities and effective liaison with councils. On that note I met with BCC managers this week and see great opportunity for partnering with the Council on various initiatives, perhaps with some potential for funding to come our way. On the show front, we have the major Dogs Qld fundraiser on 23 November for the Kalbar Rural Fire Service relating to the recent fires. A big thank you to the energetic Beaudesert Kennel Club committee and Chris Woodrow for making the show arrangements and attracting a dozen major sponsors. They have contracted judges from Victoria, NSW, South Australia and New Zealand making it a charity event with a national flavour. A big thank you to the panel of judges who have covered their own travel costs and foregone judging fees. DQ has waived the usual fees to maximize revenue for this community cause. Do please support this charity event and its online ShowManager raffle. On the Dogs Qld finance front the finance report submitted to the Board on Monday 28 October revealed that income was down by $40,803. Although expenses were less than expected, we are still $27,000 behind budget projections. Less than projected income from Massey DNA testing has been a factor with many breeders continuing to use Orivet. And lesser dog show entries have been a contributing factor. Overall there is variance

DOG WORLD November 2019

of $88,842 in income between budget and actual figures. Expenses are being closely managed and are $55,000 less than projected but not enough to offset the reduction in income. It was a week of some sadness with the resignation of our CEO, Scott Wiseman. Scott has been a familiar, friendly face at our shows and events and will be missed. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours. And finally, the far end of the Durack grounds have been undergoing major renovation. By 9 and 10 November we are planning to have our topsoil delivered for rings 11 to 16 and the levelling and seeding activity starting shortly after that. We do ask that members donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walk on this area until the grass is fully established. We anticipate this will be a 2 to 3 month growth period depending on the weather. More fill is coming for the lure coursing area as I write and will be spread when needed. The rolling and levelling of the field will continue as time and worker availability permits but it is a large area. As the levels start to even out we will keep the combined lure coursing clubs notified of what we need to keep the momentum rolling. A big thank you to those clubs for their assistance and our band of wonderful volunteers led by Craig Drury. We have had a close encounter of the snake kind and he was a lovely big beautiful brown snake well into breeding age so all members, but especially those nice enough to be working in the field, please be on the lookout and give any snake a wide berth. They will head off down the back if we leave them alone. (Thanks to Duncan McAllister for this grounds report and his tireless dedication to improve our Durack grounds). Ulla Greenwood President

Breed Feature

The Finnish Lapphund History The original Finnish Lapphunds were the helper dogs of a tribe of semi-nomadic people, the Sami, in Lapland (the northern region of Finland, Sweden, Norway and in part, Russia). Archeological digs in Lapland have unearthed remains of Lapponian dogs estimated as old as 7000 BC. There is even the existence of old cave drawings depicting this type of dog. Over hundreds of years, the originally nomadic Sami culture evolved into a more sedentary existence, which revolved around the keeping of reindeer herds. At the same time, the dogs evolved from the hunter/protector dogs of a nomadic tribe, into the herding dogs needed to help maintain

DOG WORLD November 2019

the reindeer. Their job was to keep the herds together. With the arrival of the snowmobile, the use of dogs became less and less necessary. Now dogs are rarely used for reindeer herding but still accompany the Sami herders as companions and support with the herding.

Breed Recognition in Finland Around 1940 and after the Second World War, in Finland, interest in saving the breed began to grow. Dogs belonging to the original Sami people were collected with the intent of establishing a breeding program. The first breed standard was accepted by the Finnish Kennel Club in 1945, with the breed being called the Lapponian Shepherd

Dog. The original standard included both a shorter coated dog and a longer coated dog, which I have been told were often born in the same litters. In the 1960s, the various Finnish kennel associations were unified, and in 1966 the breeds were reassessed. This resulted in the formal definition of two breeds - the Lapponian herder with a shorter coat was defined in 1966 and the longer coated Finnish Lapphund in 1967. The Lapphund breed club in Finland was founded in 1970 for all Lapphunds – Swedish, Lapponian Herder and the Finnish Lapphund. The breed standard was submitted to the FCI (Federation Cynologique Internationale) in 1955. It was then revised in Finland in 1996 and an English translation was accepted by the FCI in 1999, with the most recent version in 2016.

Temperament The Finnish Lapphund is a wonderful ‘all-around’ dog with its intelligence and eager to please disposition. They are a breed quick to learn and coupled with their non-aggressive attitude towards people, children and other dogs they are fast gaining popularity as a wonderful companion breed.

The Lapphund is an intelligent, gentle and friendly dog. They are amicable with other dogs and humans. Whilst some can be a little rambunctious, they are generally a calm dog that has periods of enthusiasm. A major appeal of the breed is their clownlike attitude and silly antics when playing. They fit readily into situations that are physically demanding as they will to the life of a couch potato. The most important part of the Lapphund is his trustful nature towards his family and humans. As a breed that tends to be naturally submissive with people (which should not be confused with shyness), they are gentle dogs and great for families with children. Lappies should be taught early the rules of household behaviour and children should be taught to be kind, gentle and to not to mistreat their dog/puppy. It is wise to remember that all children should be supervised by an adult when in the company of a dog, whether it is a puppy or adult.

Family Life The Finnish Lapphund has many great qualities they are smart and quick to learn, make great alert dogs, are wonderful family companions and are often referred to as a clown. However, not every dog is suited to every situation and environment and as with any other breed, the Lappie is not the dog for everyone. The Finnish Lapphund puppy is somewhat robust, quickly adjusts to the household situation and becomes less demanding over time. Some breeder’s lines are very active and do well with running type sports while others are less demanding and will settle into the gentle routine of a family. Lapphunds enjoy and demand the company of their humans and do not do well away from them on a constant basis. So being inside with the family, when possible, is the best way of managing a Lapphund in a family situation. The versatility of Finnish Lapphunds has also proved advantageous to families of all makeups. Owners can virtually try anything with their lappie and find some degree of success. Sports

undertaken are wide from Dancing with Dogs, Back Packing, Endurance Titles to Herding and Delta work. The Lapphund works with his owners to fit into their plans. Australian breed clubs are working with companion homes for inclusion. This has increased the awareness of the lure and versatility of the breed. Most states have â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lappie Get Togethersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; a couple of times a year. Lapphunds are friendly and make good alert dogs due to their tendency to bark at unfamiliar things. The breed were originally used to herd reindeer by droving, and barking helped them to be distinguished from wolves. They are not a watch dog but will alert you of situations that are not the norm. Lapphunds will bark if someone enters the property, drive into the driveway or knock on the door. After that they will lick the interloper as though they were a long, lost family member. If bored and left for long periods alone they will find something to bark at. This needs to be foremost in your mind if looking for a Finnish Lapphund. I have found that barking at intrusions is quickly quietened and they do not continue without a reason. It is important to remember that the Finnish Lapphund used their bark to perform their job of herding reindeer so barking during the excitement of play is to be expected. If your Lappy is a problem barker it is probably

DOG WORLD November 2019

because they are bored and looking for your attention. Lappies are ideal choice for a family with small children. The breed adapts well to family life, including being responsive to children. Finnish Lapphunds have a gentle nature with children, people with disabilities and the elderly. This is a very friendly breed and they normally avoid and flee from threatening situations. The breed is very curious, so some supervision is recommended. Lapphunds are quick to learn but will not do well with repeated training of the same trick on the same day. Being an active and intelligent dog, it

is best to introduce a variety of new experiences to your Lapphund over the course of a few weeks. Then quick short bursts of practise will cement the desired result. The breed makes the ideal outdoor companion. They are active, coldproof and waterproof, and will gladly accompany people on walking or running trips. A slight independent streak is common and with training, Finnish Lapphunds can have excellent recall and obedience skills. Part of the appeal of the Lapphund to companion homes is their huge range of colouring. It is the lure of the breed that attracts most owners. They are addictive and that one Lapphund is rarely enough and many owners get another within a year or two.

Life Span As a result of careful planning for litters, Lapphunds in Australia, generally live from 12 to 15 years of age (frequently more). They do slow up in their latter years but many remain somewhat active their entire lives. In Australia we have had dogs live to nearly 17 years of age.

DOG WORLD November 2019

Grooming Whilst the Lapphund looks as though they require lots of time brushing, I find that a good brush once a week for about 30 minutes is sufficient. The Finnish Lapphund has a straight and smooth outer coat and a soft and dense undercoat accompanied by fringes or ‘feathering’ on the back of their legs, underbelly and tail with males having a more profuse coat than females. As a puppy they usually have a soft texture to their coats which requires a bit more grooming but this is also the best time to establish good grooming habits which will make it easier on you when they become an adult. Once their adult coat comes in and the texture changes, grooming doesn’t take as long. But remember, as a double-coated breed they do require regular grooming.

As an adult their dense undercoat provides insulation in both cold and hot weather and should never be shaved as this will reduce their ability to keep cool during the summer months. Regular brushing is required, particularly during the shedding season which usually occurs once or twice a year. The breed does not have the usual doggy odour that other breeds do therefore regular bathing is not required (once a month) unless needed due to weather conditions. Weekly brushing is recommended to keep them free of mats especially behind the ears, armpit areas and groin area. They will learn to enjoy this time as it allows you to give them the ‘once over’ checking for any bumps, lumps and abnormalities. Toenails do require regular weekly maintenance to ensure that owners do not create poor feet.

Health The Finnish Lapphund is generally a healthy breed although, as with all other breeds of dogs, they too are subject to genetic disorders. They can develop hip and/or elbow dysplasia and several types of eye disorders. While the occurrences of these is relatively rare they do occasionally happen. Finnish Lapphunds are a relatively healthy breed. There are some cases of allergies popping up along with a small handful of other screened issues. This though is tiny for the percentage of the breed. Most Australian breeders have an optomologist screen for potential eye diseases, screen for hip and elbows and have DNA testing for many additional diseases. This screening for disease and issues that may be present ensures breeders attempt to provide a healthy and happy pup to the new owner.

Volunteer Of The Year Award 2019 A world without volunteers, would be a much sadder place! A simple ‘Thank you’ never seems enough to recognise all the effort, energy and hard work freely given in helping to achieve amazing results. Volunteers are the lifeblood of organisations and our clubs and community could not become the vibrant and energetic hobby it is becoming today without the help of all our volunteers. 2016 was the inaugural year for Volunteer of the Year and the winner was Jeff Souter, President of the Beagle Club of Queensland. Jeff’s energy and drive has, over many years, made the Beagle Club one of Queensland’s most successful clubs. Jeff’s passion for his club, his members and the breed has been the driving force behind the successes the club has achieved. In 2017 the winner was Rod Vernon, a dedicated volunteer worker behind the scenes making a big difference for Dogs Queensland members. We are now in our third year of Volunteer of the Year and we’ve seen some incredibly heartfelt and sincere nominations come through by fellow members. Introduced by Dogs Queensland, the award sees each person nominated by fellow members. They are then judged independently by professionals that have a true understanding and appreciation of the value that volunteers have on the dog world. Both Dogs Queensland Board members and management have no input into the nomination or judging process. Congratulations to all the nominees in the 2019 Volunteer of the Year program. Each and every nominee was recognised by their fellow members and all are deserving of this award. The nominees were: • Robyn Hyman – Zone 1 • Kathryn Winton – Zone 1 • Peter McNamara – Zone 2 • Kerry Frame – Zone 3 • Julia Fenton – Zone 1 We would like to thank our judges who themselves volunteered their time and had the very difficult task of selecting three finalists and ultimately a winner. • Pamela Campbell, President, Dogs West • Lynne Harwood, Vice President, Dogs Victoria • Virginia Gagan-Wilson, Secretary, Dogs NSW

The finalists selected by the judges were: • Robyn Hyman – Zone 1 Robyn is a life member of the Beagle Club of Queensland. She is always working in the background to ensure the club runs efficiently and holds the current position of Treasurer. Robyn’s nominator wished for the quiet achievers to be considered for the award as Robyn is truly deserving. • Kerry Frame – Zone 3 Kerry is the long-term Secretary for the Cairns City Kennel Club and has for the past 15 years conducted weekly Show Handling classes for about 40 weeks each year to assist both new and existing members. She also boasts culinary talents, a ring steward and rallied a small band together to keep the Innisfail Kennel Club alive. • Julia Fenton – Zone 1 Julia was nominated more than once by different members, and each of the nominations gave detailed descriptions of how Julia’s redesigned training methods saw their club blossom into a thriving club with a great group of people competing in Obedience and Rally. At the Dog of Year dinner on Saturday 19th October 2019, Dogs Queensland announced Kerry Frame the winner for the 2019 Volunteer of the Year Award. Thank you to everybody who participated in the 2019 Volunteer of the Year Program. The program has been designed to allow all members to formally recognise their fellow members who give so much to the dog world all because of their love of Dogs.

2019 Queensland Saturday 19 October saw the return of the DQ’s premier event that recognises our top winning confirmation dogs and puppies. Throughout the year exhibits have qualified for either Puppy and/ or Dog of the Year at various all breeds and group shows held across Queensland. This year saw the event return to the ‘old school’ ways – the batons were back! Competitors were drawn into rounds of two and then competed to proceed through the rounds, with the officiating judges either raising the baton for the red or the blue dog. This year there was an entry of 108 puppies and 73 dogs. Our judges for the event were Mr Wei Yang (China), Mr Arne Foss (Norway), Mrs Patricia Taylor (Canada), Miss Pauline Suhr (Australia) and Mrs Marie Merchant (Australia). The committee decided on the return of marquees being set up ringside and also arranged for ringside tables for purchase. This included an extended ringside viewing area for those who just wanted to come along and watch the event from the grandstand or bench seats. Puppies started the day early at 8am so as to escape the midday heat. Judging ceased when the TOP 32 had been decided and at around 3.30pm our DOTY judging commenced - breaking for dinner at the TOP 32 also. President Ulla Greenwood officially welcomed all to the event, including our special guests from the Australian National Kennel Council who were attending their annual general meeting in Brisbane this year. Those who purchased ringside seats were treated to a wonderful dinner provided by Spits ‘N’ Pieces. After dinner it was time to finalise our top 32’s to a winner. Congratulations to our Puppy of the Year Sup Ch Almarjo Twist N Shout (Dachshund Miniature Smooth Haired), Runner Up Ch Upyrkilt Where There Is A Will (Scottish Terrier) and Dog of the Year Sup Ch Firezan Snow N Steel (Fox Terrier Smooth) and Runner Up Sup Ch Belljacks Just Foolin Around (Australian Kelpie).

Travelling With Dogs Mireia Magurean / Petplan Australasia

Taking a dog on holiday with you may sound like a good idea, but their welfare must be your primary concern. It is important to think about where you are going, and what the conditions will be like – both during the journey and when you get there. Most hotels do not accommodate dogs, so do some thorough research into appropriate places to stay that are dog-friendly. Long journeys can be stressful for all animals, so make sure you are well prepared for the trip and seek advice from your vet if you feel your dog may need travel sickness medication. Before you travel, research the climate of your destination (temperature and humidity). It could potentially be very different to what your dog is used to and unsuitable for the breed. Don’t forget that sudden changes in environment can cause your furry friend to become distressed or ill. Caring for your dog when you get to your destination may not be easy, so be prepared for it!

Please remember • If you feel that your dog may not be suitable for the trip, they may be much happier left in a good boarding kennel or in the care of responsible family and friends. • Dogs are not always welcome and you may find that your activities are restricted, limiting your ability to enjoy yourself.

• There may not be anywhere for your dog to stay when you get to your destination. • Older dogs with impaired vision and hearing may find the unexpected change in their routine stressful. • Long journeys and hot weather can be uncomfortable, distressing and sometimes dangerous for your dog.

Travel Checklist Stuff to bring • Supply of usual food and food bow. • Water bowl and plastic bottle of water for the journey. • Bed and blankets. • Favourite toys and treats. • Lead and waste bags. • Grooming tools, shampoo and towels (just in case your dog rolls in something smelly or gets dirty). Health Care • Are vaccinations up to date? • Pet first aid kit. • Parasite control. • Travel sickness pills (if required). • Adequate supply of any medication your pet may be receiving. • Vet phone number for emergencies.

Bringing the pet along? Have a holiday in mind, but nobody to look after your furry loved one? We’ve all been there. Finding pet-friendly accommodation can be tricky at times, but with the resources and links below, you’ll never have to worry about your furry companion’s lodgings ever again. • Holidaying With Dogs – holidayingwithdogs.com.au • Stayz – stayz.com.au • Wotif – wotif.com • Last Minute – lastminute.com.au

INAUGURAL TRICK DOG TEST – TRIPLE HEADER

AMBER DOING ‘STATIONARY HOLD’

MUTLEY DOING A ‘BOW’

As from 1st January 2020 the new discipline of Trick Dog will be available in Australia. This new sport is an opportunity for handlers (both experienced and new to the dog world) to display the bond between handler and dog and the result of fun training together. There are 4 classes – Starters, Novice, Intermediate and Advanced. To get a title in Starters (Trick Dog Starter TK.S) the dog has to pass 3 times. To gain a pass the dog has to do 6 tricks out of a list of 15 and must get at least 5 points out of 10 for each trick. The variety of tricks in the list ensures there is something there for all types and ages of dogs and their handlers. A dog must be 12 months of age to enter and both handler and dog must be registered with either Dogs Queensland or another State’s member body.

RAFAEL DOING A ‘NOSE TO HAND TOUCH’

TALLI DOING ‘SLEEPING BEAUTY’

The tricks are very simple and perfection is not expected (although we all like to see our dogs do things well) to gain a pass. Rewards (food or silent toy) may be given to the dog at the end of a trick as well as praise from the handler. To launch Trick Dog in Queensland the Dogs Qld DWD Subcommittee will be conducting a Triple Header (so a chance to gain a Starters Title) at Durack on Sunday Feb 16 commencing at 7.30am. The Trick Dog Tests Rules are available from the ANKC website and the schedule will be in the December Dog World. Any queries may be directed to: Coral Pethers – pethers@claremontresort.net.au

Dogs Queensland’s Fire Disaster Charity Dog Show

Chris Woodrow

Dogs Queensland, supported by the Beaudesert Kennel Club, are holding a Fire Disaster Charity Dog Show to raise funds for the Rural Fire Brigade for the work they’ve done in the Beaudesert fire disaster area and to further assist with their ongoing work. With a very dry summer forecast, this is a very worthy charity to donate to. Dogs Queensland acknowledges many of our members are volunteers in their own respective Rural Fire Brigade areas so in supporting this event we are helping our own members in their non-dog volunteer work. All show entry fees through Show Manager will go directly to the Rural Fire Brigade. Show Manager and Dogs Queensland will not be charging any fees so all money will be donated to this charity. The judges that have been contracted have all agreed to travel to Brisbane at their own expense – something they must all be commended for. Our NZ judge has also agreed to come at her own expense and we thank Lavinia very much.

The accommodation has been donated by Dogs Queensland clubs and we thank them as well. A full list of companies, clubs and members who have donated will be listed in the free online catalogue. The show, to be held on Saturday the 23rd of November 2019 at Kalbar Showgrounds in the Beaudesert Shire, is to help the devastated local community. Along with our event bringing money to the local area it shows the dog community cares for them. We are also asking the local charities to be involved as well. With media reporting, the feeling is this should be a high profile event. We need everybody in Australia to enter as your entry fee of $10 will be your donation and completely go to the charity. So please enter and donate – we are aiming at 1000 entries so $10,000 can be donated. Paper entries can be made to Joy Lanham. For ease in making donations, Show Manager has a dedicated donation only section. If you can donate, please do so by visiting https://showmanager.com.au/donate/9

snake bites and your dog SE Qld’s Venomous Snakes to look out for

• • • •

Eastern Brown Red Bellied Black Coastal Taipan Common Death Adder

All snakes get pretty mad if you prod or poke or accidently disturb them. 95% of snake bites occur when people try to catch or kill them1. The same goes for dogs too; dogs are known for disturbing a peacefully sleeping snake. Although the above four snakes are highly venomous, consider all snakes as potentially venomous unless you have a reliable identification.

poisoning Venomous snakes have special glands and teeth designed to inject venom into their prey. Snake venom is designed to stun, numb, or kill other animals. It is your job to slow down the flow of venom and the way this is done is to constrict by compression and immobilisation and then get to the Vet. Depending on the snake species one or more of the following toxins could be present in the snake’s venom: Myotoxin which can cause muscle damage. Anticoagulant which can stop the blood from clotting. Neurotoxins which affects the nervous system.

DOG WORLD November 2019

safety precautions • Contact your local snake catchers to find out what snakes are prevalent in your area. • Keep backyard clear of: equipment; stacked wood; piled leaves; and mowed. • Keep rats and mice conditions controlled but it you use a baiting method ensure they are dog tamper proof. • Don’t allow your dog to explore tunnels, drains or in dense bush. • Keep your dog on a leash when walking in parks and bush lands. • Inspect your backyard whenever you move your dog outside to play. • Keep doors closed to stop snakes entering the home. • Don’t try to catch or kill a snake. If you need to prove identification to your Vet, take a photo but only if safe to do so. If a highly venomous snake bites you or your dog, the consequence will be catastrophic if the antivenom isn’t administered urgently.

signs & symptoms Have a look at the following signs and symptoms; a sign will be e.g. the puncture wound and the symptom would be e.g. difficulty breathing. This list will assist you in diagnosing the dog’s condition as being bitten by a snake. The most common areas where a dog is bitten are head and face, chest and legs. Bear in mind

though that a dog may endure multiple bites, so treat any and all puncture sites regardless of location. • 2 puncture wounds would be present however on dogs with double coats it is not as easy to see the bite marks; it will be more likely that you will see the blood and swelling before a bite mark. • Profuse bleeding at bite site, although not fast flowing. • Dog may be trembling, shaking, twitching. • You may see your dog salivating, drooling, frothing at the mouth. • Legs become weak. • Pupils dilated, not responsive to light or slow to react. • Appears agitated. • Dyspnoea / Breathing difficulties or breathing becomes shallow. • Vomiting or urinating blood. • Gums have become pale or white. • Body is limp, unable to move (flaccid paralysis). • Respiratory failure; no longer breathing. • Collapse, unconscious, coma but still breathing. • Cardiac arrest; heart stops beating. Consider all snake bites life threatening if you are unsure whether it is of the venomous variety or not.

action 1. Undertake Primary Assessment DRSABC. a. Check for Dangers – a danger may be that the snake is still around your dog. Do not try to catch or kill the snake as you may get bitten. 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 restrain your dog. d. Check the airway for blockages or foreign objects; remove if there is. It might sound

silly but your dog may have had something in their mouth at the time of being bitten. e. Check the breathing (respirations) e.g. count the rise and fall of the chest – start artificial respiration if not breathing. f. Check circulation (pulse) – start CPR if no pulse. 2. Keep your dog calm and quiet; restrict pet’s movement. 3. Bandage limb with snake compression bandage above and below elbow / knee (entire leg). 4. Use a permanent marker pen to make a mark on the bandage where bite wound is located. Don’t wash venom off wound. 5. Wrap dog in blanket and place in their bed or in a crate. 6. If your dog has been bitten on the body or head, place blanket around dog to immobilise. 7. Transport smaller dogs in crate or box. 8. If you have a driver, sit in the back with the dog stroking and speaking in a soothing manner on way to vet. 9. Get to vet. If you have a driver: • If your dog stops breathing, begin artificial respiration. • If your dog’s heart stops beating, begin CPR on the way to the vet surgery. FAMILIARISE YOURSELF with the snakes that are found in your area and where they live. NEVER WASH BITE SITE (leave for venom identification). NEVER SUCK OUT THE POISON. DON’T CUT SITE TO CAUSE BLEEDING. NEVER TRY TO CATCH THE SNAKE; if you can, take a photo.

Keeping your dog cool in summer Royal Canin

Did you know dogs can get sunburned? Or that short-nosed dog breeds have more trouble cooling down through panting? Or that shaving your dog’s fur coat may be more harmful than not? Summer heat and sunshine is a serious issue for our dogs, who depend on us to keep them protected. Here are a few tips to consider to keep your furry friend comfortable in the summer heat. Sunburn: Dogs need sun protection on their sensitive areas such as the tips of their ears, their noses and other areas exposed to sunlight. Those with pink skin or light-coloured coats can be vulnerable. Staffordshire Terriers, Boxers, Bull Terriers, German Shorthaired Pointers and Chinese Crested are among the breeds prone to sunburn. Apply pet-friendly sunscreen — not zinc oxide-based treatments, which are toxic — about half an hour before exposure. Panting is cooling: It’s well known that dogs don’t sweat. They eliminate heat through their respiration. Short-nosed dog such as Pugs and Bulldogs tend to be more vulnerable to heat stroke. Panting can mean that it’s incredibly important for your dog to stay hydrated in warm weather. If your dog overheats, there are a number of indicators to be aware of. Heat stroke signs include excessive or exaggerated panting, lethargy, weakness, drooling, high fever, dark red gums, rapid heartbeat, unresponsiveness to surroundings and vomiting.

DOG WORLD November 2019

Overheating cars: A Stanford University study showed that regardless of outside temperatures, the temperature inside a car can rise to be over 5°C in an hour. For this reason, you shouldn’t leave your dog in the car, even for a few minutes. Avoid hot surfaces: Hot pavements, beaches and other surfaces can severely injure your dog’s paw pads. You might be surprised how often vets diagnose this injury. The rule of thumb is simple: If the surface is too hot for you to handle barefoot, it’s too hot for your dog. No shaving: A dog’s coat insulates them from the heat, so shaving isn’t the best strategy. That being said, trimming a long-haired dog’s

Dogs Queensland Active with Council Contacts Over recent weeks and months Dogs Queensland has been meeting with many Councils throughout Queensland. The objective of reaching out to all Councils has been to further develop working relationships and communications with Councils so that when matters arise we already have communication channels in place and to promote Dogs Queensland. Many Councils have been very open and willing to work with Dogs Queensland. Many praising the behaviours of local DQ members who set exemplary standards and are never the problems for Councils. In discussions with Councils we have been notifying them of the DQ Community membership, the services offered through local Clubs especially with obedience training, looking to explore opportunities for shared communication to promote Dogs Queensland activities and services and overall more responsible dog ownership in the broader community. We are also exploring avenues and initiatives to collaborate on projects.

coat, particularly if it hangs around his legs, is acceptable. Vets suggest that owners should brush their dogs more often in the summertime as well, which can thin out the thick coat and get rid of hair that your dog is shedding. Avoid the heat: make sure not to exercise during the hottest parts of the day and be vigilant about finding shade to rest when the time comes. If you have any other concerns about caring for your dog during the hottest months, consult a vet who will be able to offer you expert help and advice best suited to your pet.

As members would already know many Councils offer discounts to dog registration for DQ members, we are working with those Councils who don’t yet offer this. We are continuing to meet with Councils and would encourage Clubs to also maintain effective communication with their local Council. Councils Dogs Queensland has met with recently. • North Burnett • Logan • Maranoa • Redlands • Moreton Bay • Ipswich • Burdekin • Somerset • Whitsunday’s • Scenic Rim • Atherton • Lockyer Valley • Brisbane City • Toowoomba • Dalby There are many more meetings being arranged at the present with Councils throughout the State.

High praise for Logan’s new dog laws Logan City Council’s proposed new laws for the keeping of dogs have been praised by leading pet experts. The proposed amendments to Subordinate Local Law No.4.1, adopted by Council today, were introduced to better address changing property sizes across the city. The proposals also support responsible pet ownership. They include new requirements for the effective control of dogs in public places and clear guidelines on managing barking dogs. The proposed laws were shaped after an eight-month review under the City of Logan Animal Care Strategy 2018-2022. The review included more than 3000 responses from Logan residents in two rounds of community engagement – a record level of feedback for a Council initiative. Veterinarian and Bondi Vet TV star Dr Alex Hynes, of Underwood’s Animal Emergency Service, described the proposed new direction as “a responsible action by Council and the community”. “What we have got to recognise is that the face of Logan is changing in terms of property sizes,” Dr Hynes said. “So the governance around pet ownership needs to change in combination with that.” Dogs Queensland Senior Vice-President, Bill Smith, said Logan had set a benchmark for other Councils to learn and follow “for the benefit of the animal community”.

BONDI VET TV STAR AND VETERINARIAN DR ALEX HYNES, AT UNDERWOOD’S ANIMAL EMERGENCY HOSPITAL The proposed new laws also include: • If a dog is subject to a control issue on a property of 500m2 or less, no part of the dog’s body can cross the enclosure or fence. • Training and management plans for dogs that are confirmed as a barking nuisance. • The 10kg weight restriction on companion dogs in retirement villages and aged care centres has been removed. A third round of community engagement will be undertaken before the new laws take effect early next year. Know the proposed new dog laws The property criteria for general keeping of dogs under an amendment to Subordinate Local Law No. 4.1 (Animal Management) are:

“More families are choosing to have less children and getting a dog instead,” Mr Smith said. “But with both parents often working, it is important the welfare of the dog is looked after when unattended.

Property Type/Size (m2)

Allowable Number without Council Approval

Allowable Number with Council Approval

“Adequate fencing and the right number of dogs for the size of the property are a must.

Units, Townhouses, Multi-Dwelling Premises including retirement/ mature age villages

“And that’s where these new laws are excellent.”

PUMP UP THE VOLUME Coat-Wise that is! Debra LeCourt and Simon Briggs

If your dogs are like most, they seem to know just when a really important show is coming up and decide to blow coat and it comes out, in handfuls! There you are, faced with your previously glamorous Sheltie, your once magnificent Malamute or your severely out-of-coat Samoyed. You’ve got the picture. Lots of breeds blow coat and it seems to take forever to get them back to show bloom despite every coat growing supplement known to man. What to do? Well don’t wait for nature to take its course and instead resort to human intervention. There are ways and means to get that out-of-coat-look to look fairly passable. Firstly, get rid of the old coat as quickly as possible. Strip it, wash it, blow it out - whatever! The best and easiest way is whilst you still have shampoo on the dog to brush and comb it. The extra drag caused will help loosen the coat and help get it out quicker. The same can be done with conditioner. To help remedy the out-of-coat look and make the very best of what you have is to bath the dog with a Building shampoo. Apply and allow the ingredients to work for a minute or two and rinse. The aim is to boof this coat up and bodify it without making it stiff and unnatural. Next step is not to use conditioner. Conditioner will flatten and lay down whatever coat is there. We want it standing up and looking at us! If you must have some moisturising product in the coat then use something that disentangles and moisturises

yet doesn’t soften or flatten. Use a very light leave-in conditioner but rinse it out. Now here is the true magic of the whole thing to maximize what we can. Use a volumising spray. Apply all over the dog and sponge right into the coat. Do not rinse!!! The coat will have a similar look to having forgotten to rinse the conditioner out so don’t panic, that’s the look you want. Then use a force dryer - there are various cool air, forceful air type dryers around - and literally blast the coat to stand up on end. Blow the coat from the rear end forwards to the head and against the growth of the hair. You will want to achieve as much root lift as possible as once the coat is dry and the dog has a good shake, it will settle down into its rightful place and amazingly, with a lot more oomph and volume. Due to the magic properties in this, it may take a little longer to dry but the extra effort is so worth the result. Brush dry using a good quality pin brush. Then go through the coat with a wide toothed comb. Work every hair through that comb, ensuring every hair counts and combing it from skin to end. Look at the silhouette of your dog. It may not have as much hair as it should but with judicious balancing of the dogs’ body weight leading up to the show just stack a touch extra on him - he will most likely cut a rather nice figure. The judge will see he doesn’t have as much coat as he would perhaps like but if the shape and silhouette is there you have a fighting chance - when up till then you had none. For areas needing more lift you can use a mousse that has an excellent hold factor to make the coat appear much fuller and thicker. Apply a golf ball sized amount to an area, massage in, then dry and repeat to the needed areas. We truly hope you get to win a few more awards than you might previously have done. After all, what would our weekends be without going to a dog show?

Your dog and cane toad poisoning safety precautions

cane toad (rhinella marinus) The cane toad is a large heavily built amphibian with dry warty skin, up to 15cm long; the largest recorded female in Qld was 24cm long and weighed 1.3kg!!. The cane toad was introduced to Australia in 1935. They are native to South and Central America. There is thought to be well over 1.5 billion toads in Australia today. One toad can lay up to 35,000 eggs in a clutch which certainly increases the risk of dogs encountering multiple toads and/or being poisoned this season.

poisoning Toad venom is located in the upper surface of the skin in glands. When a toad is provoked or picked up by a dog, the toad releases a toxic slime which covers and sticks to the dog’s gums and tongue and is quickly absorbed. The risk of death is increased if the dog eats the toad. Toads have a tendency to eat dog faeces; they have been known to transmit disease such as salmonella1.

DOG WORLD November 2019

• Keep dogs inside at night. However young toads can be seen during the day; so ensure you check your back yard before leaving your dog out there for periods of time; • Keep back yards clean of faeces; • When you take your dog outside to go to the toilet at night keep them on a leash and stay close; and • If it is your plan to kill a cane toad in your backyard, ensure that you do so humanely. Do not use products or methods which cause suffering to the animal. There are products at produce and hardware stores which sell an aerosol, designed for humanely killing cane toads. It is important to follow manufacturing instructions and dispose of the toad as per recommendations.

signs & symptoms Signs and symptoms may vary from one poisoning to another, this is because: 1. You won’t know how much venom has been ingested or absorbed; 2. How long the dog has been exposed to the venom; 3. You won’t know if the dog has eaten all or any part of the toad; and 4. The size of the dog may play a part in the individual reaction to the toxicity.

Use the following list to see what to look out for; just bear in mind that your dog may have several signs and symptoms or only one. If in doubt; call your Vet. • If conscious, your dog may excessively salivate, drool or begin frothing at the mouth. • You will see clearly a thick, slimy and bright red fluid stuck to the dogs gums and tongue. • Your dog may paw at the mouth showing discomfort. • They may appear disorientated, making turns to the right and then the left but going nowhere. • You may notice the dog’s body shivering / trembling or experience severe tremors to convulsions or seizures.

2. W hether breathing or not: Lay dog on the right hand side, in case you need to commence CPR; 3. I nspect dog’s mouth. If there red or bright pink slime, hold dog’s mouth down toward the ground and using a paper towel wipe inside of mouth. If you can place something under body so the head bends toward ground. horoughly wash the mouth out for 10–15 4. T minutes using slow trickling hose or tap; direct the water flow from the side of the back teeth to drain out through the front of the mouth. Avoid water going down the throat or into lungs.

• If not treated: quickly vomiting will commence, heart rate will increase and / or become irregular and muscles in the body may have spasms or become rigid.

5. I f you are using a soaked wet cloth; keep head down as with hose; gently and thoroughly wipe the gums, tongue and roof of the mouth for 1015 minutes, rinsing and ringing cloth out after each wipe. It is best to not press down on the tongue or gums to reduce the risk of absorption of toxins.

• Cardiac arrest.

I f your dog has had minimal exposure; once your dog is settled, keep confined for a few hours with you and monitor closely and wrap in warm blanket.

I f your dog is unconscious or having seizures, take to the vet immediately after removal of venom.

Action 1. Undertake Primary Assessment DRSABC. a. Check for Dangers – a danger may be that the toad is in the dog’s mouth. Do not try to drag the toad out of the dogs mouth in case part of the body is swallowed or experiences additional toxin elimination; ensure you wear gloves if you touch the toad or venom as toad venom is hazardous to humans. 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 grab hose or undertake any other tasks. d. Check the airway for blockages or foreign objects; are there toad body parts? Remove if there is. e. Check the breathing (respirations) e.g. count the rise and fall of the chest – start artificial respiration if not breathing. f. Check circulation (pulse) – start CPR if no pulse.

On the way to the Vet; (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.

Remember Cane toads are toxic to dogs and humans!
