elcome to the first edition of the new quarterly publication of the Dog World. We are still receiving some feedback about the Dog World going quarterly and being published on a digital platform. As previously stated, the rationale behind this approach is due to the massive cost saving Dogs Queensland will make from these changes. The publication of our former monthly magazine was losing the organisation in excess of $110,000 per year. As the Dog World has now moved to a digital publication on a quarterly basis, not only will Dogs Queensland be reducing the magazine overheads significantly, but the overall content will be improved for members. After reading the new quarterly Dog World, we would welcome any feedback that you have around the magazine.

70th Anniversary of Dogs Queensland This year marks a significant event in our organisationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, as we prepare to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of Dogs Queensland. The anniversary will be celebrated at this years All Dogs Sports Spectacular on the 26th of August. As this event is fast becoming one of the most important on our show calendar, it seems only appropriate to celebrate our anniversary at this time. A range of clothing items are available to mark the 70th anniversary of Dogs Queensland. Polo shirts, jumpers and vests are just a few items that will be included for sale. A full range of apparel is available now.

Norma Zimmerle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Vale and award of Life membership At this years Anzac Day show, Mrs Norma Zimmerle was awarded life membership of Dogs Queensland. I think all would agree, that this award was well over due. Regretfully, I was unable to attend and present Norma with award myself, as I was recovering from shoulder surgery.

Watching the video of Brian Menke, Ainslie Carius and Duncan McAllister presenting Norma with the award, and seeing the pride and joy across her face was a truly touching moment. Her dedication and commitment to the dog world is second to none, and it has been an absolute privilege to work alongside her for the last 5 years on the board of Dogs Queensland.

Sadly on the 3rd of June 2018, Norma passed away surrounded by her family. There is much that can be said about this truly amazing lady, and her dedication to Dogs Queensland, but words can never truly convey just how big a part of the Dogs Queensland family she was. Norma was well respected amongst her peers, hard working, always focused on the needs of the membership, and would always put others before herself. She was one of the most selfless and passionate people that I have ever had the honour of knowing. Norma will forever be known as the ‘People’s President’. She was a constant presence at Dogs Queensland events including conformation and other dog sport activities. Norma set the benchmark incredibly high, not only as a President but as a member. She will forever be someone that I look up to and have the greatest respect for, and her presence and signature catch phrases will be sorely missed by us all. Our thoughts go out to Kevin, and all of Norma’s family at this incredibly difficult time. May you rest in peace Norma. Thank you for the moments and memories that we will all continue to treasure. Shane Thomas, President

Letter to the Editor Members Say

To The Editor, My letter is not so much a complaint but an observation on an opportunity for Dogs Queensland to improve its efficiency and relationship with members by being more responsive and more informative in relation to transactional processing. I often see commentary on social media and speak to members who have advised that they have submitted litter registrations and other paperwork such as title applications and hear nothing from the office. Often these members would just like to be assured that what they have submitted has been received so they are not left waiting and then be placed in an awkward situation if it happens that the documentation, for whatever reason, has not been received. I would suggest to Dogs Queensland that they establish some contact points in their processes involving members to keep all parties informed as this will help the office to track their progress in relation to processing as well as keep their members informed and potentially reduce the number of enquiries being received about such matters. As an example, a quick email or phone call after receiving the initial paperwork and reviewing it, to allow the members to know that their documentation has been received and to manage any issues with it immediately would be helpful.

Similarly, an advice when the transactional processing has been completed and documents are ready to be sent out would also allow our members to be kept informed and to plan their actions moving forward, especially where litter registrations are concerned. At present, it would be fair to say that the office is not responsive to general transactional services probably due to the fact that they are dealing with a lot of complaints about the level of those services. By being more proactive, this will allow the time that is normally allocated to sorting out complaints and issues, to be used more productively for processing activities. I do hope that Dogs Queensland takes these suggestions in the positive way that they are intended to improve services to members. Our members want to be able to work with the office, but as you can imagine, it is extremely frustrating to not be kept informed and this sometimes boils over into angry outbursts and stress. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t condone some of the behaviour and statements made in relation to complaints as some of these are extreme overreactions to say the least, but the situation could be easily avoided with a few simple steps.

Editors Reply: Thank you very much for your constructive feedback. We are currently in discussions with the software developer who manages the ANKC database. Litter registrations will be the first area that we automate which will enable a litter registration process time to reduce to literally days from when you complete the registration form online. We can add in automated responses to let Members know that the registration is being worked on and when it is submitted to the ANKC database, thus keeping you informed of the progress along the way. We can and will do the same with transfers, memberships, titles etc. By taking this approach our communication will improve to our membership without increasing any costs.

If you would like to submit your say and have a chance of seeing it included in the next Dog World issue, please address your email to 'Letter to the editor' care of info@dogsqueensland.org.au

Unique bonds with Dogs The Beagle Support

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Laraâ&#x20AC;? is a special Collie Rough, bred by Cecilie Kemp, and has been a constant companion with her veteran for the last three years. She is a very important part of his life, is very loving and with a great temperament. Lara is a point of interest at functions such as Anzac day.

IN MY DARKEST HOUR, I REACHED FOR A HAND & FOUND A PAW Written by Bob Richards

he recent ANZAC Day ceremony at Dogs Queensland Sports Grounds saw the trainers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) program present dogs involved in the training program. The PTSD dogs are specially selected and then trained by highly skilled trainers to perform a specific role with their individual handler. Dogs Queensland is pleased to be able to support this worthwhile and innovative program by providing facilities and hosting the program at the Durack venue. Post-traumatic stress disorder is a form of Anxiety / Depression disorder. Some people develop this condition after they have experienced a traumatic event. This event might be a serious accident, physical or sexual assault, war or torture, or a natural disaster such as a bushfire or a flood. Strong reactions such as fear, horror, anger, sadness and hopelessness are natural after these types of events. In most cases, these feelings will pass after the normal process of working-through emotions and talking things over in your own time with family, friends or colleagues. In the past PTSD was referred to as combat fatigue, shell shock, or in the early days cowardice, and mostly associated with those in the armed forces. In more recent years people have come to realise that those serving on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;front lineâ&#x20AC;? at home; in the police force, ambulance and fire service are also at increased risk of developing PTSD through what they face, almost daily.

Unique bonds with Dogs Support How Do Service Dogs Assist?

What assistance do the PTSD Service Dogs deliver?

There are many types of service/assistance dogs, and some even serve multiple purposes. Potential service dogs go through rigorous training programs before they can team up with a handler. Here are just a few types of service dogs:

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

• • • • • •

•

Guide Dogs for the blind Hearing Dogs for deaf or hearing-impaired persons Mobility Assistance Dogs for wheelchair-bound persons or those with mobility limitations Seizure Response Dogs to protect and help persons with seizure disorders when a seizure occurs Diabetes Assistance Dogs to detect blood sugar highs and lows (dogs are scent-trained) Mental Health Service Dogs or Psychiatric Service Dogs are task-trained to assist those with PTSD, panic disorders, anxiety disorders, major depression, Autism Spectrum Disorders and much more. New research conducted by the University of Queensland into scent training with service dogs for epilepsy veterans, is being trialled by Paws for Hope & Understanding in conjunction with the University.

For ex and current Defence personnel, PTSD is often triggered by being in combat or experiencing significant stress or trauma. For those in the emergency services, it is often triggered by life threatening experiences, such as being stuck in a burning building, being shot at, having to deal with a terrifying road side accident or domestic abuse situation. Basically, they are situations where people feel intense fear and or helplessness.

6. 7. 8. 9.

A Service/PTSD dog would become a full companion for an individual veteran. Delta Therapy dogs can be seen doing the rounds of hospitals, visiting the sick and elderly or staying with a person at work who is having trouble with day to day events after suffering a death in the family. By comparison, a PTSD Service dog fills a highly specific role and is trained to work with incapacitated defence personnel, or retired members now confined to a wheelchair or suffering with balance issues, or members who suffer with PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) or service personnel who require trained dogs that can respond to their needs.

What Is The Forest Lake RSL – Service / Ptsd Program? Forest Lake RSL – Service/PTSD dog program has been designed to take the training of service dogs concept to a new level. •

Within some groups of society, the incidence of PTSD is expected to be much higher than one per cent. According to David Kinchin, Author, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder., within the armed forces, the incidence of PTSD can be as high as 15%. and this does not include suicide statistics.

Provide Companionship Calm Their Handler Assist in Medical Crisis Provide treatment related assistance Assist in coping with emotional overload Perform security enhancement tasks Assist with episodes of stress/trauma(PTSD) Prevent people from crowding or rushing Guide veteran through crowds

• •

Training period for the dog is 12 weeks which, that period covers area such as discipline, obedience and the Public Asset Test in the community. Training period for the client is a further twelve weeks to enable the client and dog work as a team A further 6-12 weeks to reach the level of team with both handler and dog.

What is the PTSD Service Program? Less than 40% of veterans with PTSD will seek Treatment, of these 4 out of 5 veterans are prescribed medications and referred into therapy by their doctors. According to AAPP, Dept Veteran Affairs, PTSD Foundation USA, there are five options for treatment: Medication Therapy Sessions 3. Service Dogs 4. Assistance Dogs 5. Experimental 1. 2.

How Do You Know When Service Dogs Are On The Job? •

• •

Service dogs can be easily identified. By Law, all wear special vests and/or harnesses. However, identification is required. Never assume -- always be sure to ask before petting a dog Service dogs should not be petted, fed or otherwise given attention while at work. Please be respectful and allow these dogs to do their jobs. They make a major difference in the lives of disabled persons.

The Way Forward… In the USA, the congress and UK government now recognise by Acts of Parliament, the benefits of specifically trained dogs as part of the treatment for PTSD, extensive research is also being carried out in Canada. Further research was carried out in the USA in 2014. Additional studies have also been conducted in to the relationship between a dog and veteran, the bond that develops and the result of that bond. Focus on this relationship proved that this bond released chemicals in the brain; oxytocin. “Oxytocin improves trust, the ability to interpret facial expressions, the overcoming of paranoia and other pro-social effects – the opposite of PTSD symptoms”. Meg Daley Olmert of Baltimore, who works for a program called Warrior Canine Connection, PTSD Socratic Seminar Journal (2012) It’s been proven however, that dogs can draw out even the most isolated people, and through engaging with a dog a veteran can overcome emotional numbness (a symptom of PTSD), through training a dog, veterans develop new ways to communicate without anger or paranoia. It has also been proven, through research that veterans were also able to sleep again knowing a dog was looking out for them. By bonding with a dog emotionally, veterans felt more able to engage themselves.

If you think you have a dog suitable for the PTSD program, and are prepared for the dog to be trained to become a service dog for a veteran, then ask yourself the following questions… 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Is the dog between the ages of 6 months and 3 years old? Is the dog neutered? Are the dog’s vaccinations up to date? Is the dog a registered Pure Bred Dog? Is the dog a pet? (unfortunately Pet dogs are ineligible for this program)

If you answered YES to the first 4 questions, and you have a dog you believe may be suitable, please contact Bob Richards, President Forest Lake RSL, Tel: 0412747529

A Focus on Dogs Sports A Natural Instinct?

RETRIEVING Written by Cathie Jackson o much of what we do with our dogs is based in the simple act of RETRIEVING. At the first level we throw balls and toys for them. They bring it back (hopefully) and we throw it again, right? It’s fun for the dog and for us. It’s exercise, and it’s bonding. But what if you have a GUNDOG BREED? For them, it’s more than just fun, it’s instinctual. Consider the possibilities of refining and training this natural instinct. Do you have just 20 minutes a day to train your dog? Unfulfilled Gundogs can be a handful at home but a welltrained Gundog is a devoted and happy companion. But be careful, once you start and you see how quickly and naturally your dog takes to Retrieving Training you’ll be hooked and this could lead to fun weekends away with likeminded people competing and having fun outdoors. Where to start: ASK QUESTIONS. Come along to one of the ‘Retrieving Ability Tests for Gundogs’ – RATG. Several clubs now hold these days and they are a great place to start. Chat to people there, everyone is willing to help. ‘Retrieving Trials’ are also held by The Labrador Retriever Club of Qld, Field and Retrieving Association and Wide Bay Club. A day at a Retrieving Trial will open your eyes as to the possibilities for your Gundog.

All the Retrievers, Pointers, Setters, Weimaraner’s, as well as various Spaniel breeds currently compete. Retrieving is open to all “Gundog” breeds and they seriously love it.

It’s more than just fun, it’s instinctual Gundog Breeders are encouraged to refer anyone purchasing puppies to seek out Retrieving Training opportunities for their pup to grow up fulfilled and well balanced. The Queensland State Retrieving Championships will be held in September at Lamington (Beaudesert Area) for an opportunity to see the top dogs from Queensland and interstate compete and you’re invited.

D Planning Is Well Underway For The All Dogs Sports Spectacular 2018! In 2018 the All Dogs Sports Spectacular celebrates Dogs Queensland 70th Anniversary, and it’s our birthday party. 2018 is particularly special. The ‘architect’ of one of our premium events was our much loved Norma Zimmerle. She had a vision, that Dogs Queensland could represent ALL dogs and ALL activities and ALL sports. That people could work together to create an exciting and inviting event that the public (families and children) would want to be involved. She succeeded! The All Dogs Sports Spectacular is a significant event on the canine calendar where families can enjoy a day out, bring their children, watch the sports, interact with pure bred dog Breeders, sports trainers, and if they want to bring their dogs they can, AND it’s free! No other canine event in Brisbane can rival our outdoor free event for families and dogs. This year will be truly spectacular, with the involvement of the BlackHawk Diving Dock Dogs and Farmer Dave. We will have the Sporting activities well represented with Agility, Dances with Dogs, Obedience, Herding, Lure Coursing, Weight Pull AND Fly Ball. Of course, the Conformation Shows will be ever present with the best of breeds on show.

Pet Ownership The Beagle

Life, Love & Beagles Written by Jeff Souter

sk most people who have had a Beagle and they will say â&#x20AC;&#x153;once a Beagle owner, always a Beagle ownerâ&#x20AC;?. This loveable, playful and laid-back breed will often work their way into your heart and home for life. The Beagle is often called the eternal puppy, as they are playful and fun loving their entire life. While this can sometimes make them a little naughty, it can also make them an adorable companion for the fourteen or fifteen years they average for their life. Beagles are excellent family pets, are very tolerant to young children and will play with kids for as long as the kids want to play. As the Beagle is a pack animal, it will basically do whatever you are doing. If you are out and about, walking, exercising or working, your Beagle will be right beside you. If you are sitting back and relaxing, your Beagle will often be found curled up under your chair, or on your lap.

The Origins of the Beagle

Colouring of Beagles

With the breed being around for centuries, there is speculation about its origin. Its actual origin is obscure and there are many theories on how the breed first came to be. Some theories date back to pre-Christian days where small hounds hunted by scent and were followed on foot. Others speak of the Beagle type existing in the British Isles for many centuries. King Canute who reigned in the 10th Century introduced laws to stop certain dogs entering Crown forests, except for the Veltever as it was too small to harm the deer. This English hound was also called "Langehren" which meant long-eared. It is thought that this reference was to the Beagle.

There are many variations of colour of the Beagle and any hound colour is acceptable in the breed. The colour that most people relate to a Beagle is the “blanket” tricolour. This is a blending of black, tan and white, usually with a saddle of black on the back, tan legs and head, and a white blaze in the middle of their face. More and more in Australia, people are seeing tan and white Beagles, with no black colouring. This is a perfectly acceptable variation to the Beagle colouring and is often a stunning and beautiful colour for the breed.

Other theories have Beagles originating in Greece, with their descendants brought to Britain during the Roman occupation. In the middle ages in England, there were large numbers of hunting hounds for trailing hare. It is presumed that the smaller ones were Beagles. In the 14th Century, Edward II was a keen hunting enthusiast and hare hunting became a popular sport.

Regardless of the colour, which has no impact on the nature of the Beagle itself, there is one mandatory colouring on any Beagle. The tip of their tail must always be white. This is known as their “flag” or stern and is used to locate the Beagle in tall grass. When a Beagle is on the move, they will have their nose down, their tail up and the white tip of their tail waving in the wind.

King Henry VIII kept both Beagles and Buckhounds, while Queen Elizabeth I, in the 16th Century took great interest in sporting events. She had her own pack of pocket Beagles called "The Singing Beagles". Other Royals to own Beagles included James I, William of Orange, George IV and Prince Albert who had a muchprized strain of rabbit Beagles.

ANKC Breed Std of the Beagle (2009)

Did you know? The collective term for a group of Beagles is a “Cry”. It may also be known in some circles as a “Bruhaha”.

Pet Ownership The Beagle

The Beagle doing what it was bred for Beagles have always been renowned for their scenting ability, their incredible tenacity and great stamina. The hare is certainly a very clever and cunning opponent. Each hare has a set of tricks to escape the persistent Beagle. The hare runs straight, then weaves, then lays a set of criss-cross tracks, similar to a footballer. She will even spring sideways and let the pack run past her. As Beagles hunt their quarry in a pack, ideally, every dog should be able to carry out the functions of locating and staying on the scent. They should possess the skills of “jump” (jump on their quarry and secure it); “scent” (track the movement of the quarry using their sense of smell); “tongue” (make the distinctive sound or bark when they have a strong scent); and “speed” (being able to hunt at speed while staying on the scent). More often than not, each dog will have traits that support one or more specific

The behaviours and traits bred in the Beagle for hunting carry over into the nature of the Beagle in their general lives and in sports they may undertake. Those Beagles considered as good jump Beagles, would typically excel at visual pursuits and sports such as lure coursing. Beagles who have a strong sense of instinct to scent and sound will always want to put their noses on the ground. This can make the traditional form of visual training more challenging and may contribute to some views the Beagle is a breed difficult to train using methods consistent with training other breeds. Those who own Beagles will often talk about their Beagle “never getting their nose off the ground”, “barking when they are just sniffing” or “never walking in a straight line”. It is important to remember that these are desirable traits for the purpose of the breed and that the Beagle is happiest when they have their nose down, searching for a scent, their tails high.

While it is ideal to keep the pack close and uniform (be able to throw a blanket over the pack), each Beagle may display more of one trait than another and focus on the tasks that support those traits. The “jump” Beagles are those in the pack that typically visually locate the quarry. They will usually be at the front of the pack, using their sight to locate the quarry when it is near. They may also be the dogs in the pack that will jump on the prey if they have the chance. Often these Beagles may lose the scent and be called back to the scent by others in the pack. This is known as “going to cry”. The cry being the collective term for a group of Beagles. The jump Beagles will also be likely to display more speed than the rest of the pack. The utility Beagle will provide a combination of traits for the hunt, keeping on the scent while also keeping an eye out for the quarry. Those Beagles that tongue and scent keep the pack together. When they have a strong scent, they will sound to the others. The sound they make when they give tongue changes with the strength of the scent. Anyone who has had a Beagle on a strong scent will know, they become frantic, produce the characteristic high-pitched song and increase their sniff to locate the quarry. This is one of the most enjoyable moments for a Beagle, as it is what they have been bred to do.

Beagles at work

Health Issues

Beagles are one of today’s most worked breed, carrying a range of functions. Beagles can be found in roles such including:

Apart from overeating, Beagles have very few health issues and are considered to be a very sound breed.

• • • • • • •

Quarantine detection Drug detection Termite detection Locating rare and endangered animals Detecting imminent seizures in people who suffer from epilepsy Health work including therapy dogs in schools and hospitals Media and entertainment (everyone has seen a movie, TV show or advertisement with a Beagle in it)

Unfortunately, due to their sound physical condition and gentle temperament, they are also one of the breeds most used in laboratory testing, with thousands of Beagles each year being used to test a wide range of products around the world, including within Australia.

The most common health issues with Beagles relate to their eyes and ears. They can have a condition known as “dry eye” which is a relatively slow production of tears which can require the application of eye drops. Beagles can also get a condition called “cherry eye” which occurs when a gland around their eye pops out from under their eyelid. This can be corrected with surgery and neither condition is life threatening. As with any soft-eared breed, their ears need regular care. The ear canal on any soft-eared dog is like a little greenhouse and can be a haven for bacteria and yeast infections. A regular cleaning is important to keep the ear canal dry and healthy. Like all mammals Beagles are susceptible to mammalian diseases and conditions such as epilepsy and cancer which can occur in later life.

Pet Ownership The Beagle

Be Aware

All breeds have certain needs to ensure they will suit their home and the Beagle is no exception. It is important that before you get a Beagle you are aware of their needs and that these needs can be met. A Beagle is not a dog that is well suited to life on their own. The Beagle was originally bred to hunt in a pack and as a result, they long for companionship. Being left on their own for long periods of time may make for an unhappy and often bored Beagle. A happy Beagle is one that has company for much of the day. Beagle owners often find problems they have with one Beagle cease with the introduction of another Beagle or dog, or if the owners are home during the day.

In days gone by, when Beagles were in a pack hunt, they were often away from home for long periods of time without being fed. As a result, their instinct now is to try and eat anything and everything whenever they can. Obesity in the breed is common as a Beagle will appear to be hungry even after a big meal. Many owners will tell you of stories of their Beagle eating whole roasts, working their way through a bag of dog food or even eating wedding cakes, only to turn around half an hour later looking for their dinner. A controlled balanced diet, along with regular exercise is most important for a Beagle. The rule of thumb is donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for your Beagle to tell you when they are full because they will never tell you.

The most powerful trait of the Beagle is their inquisitive mind and strong sense of smell. This is what made the breed such a useful hunting dog and what makes it such a useful working breed today. Beagles will want to smell anything and everything and always want to know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the other side of the fence. Beagles will wander if they are able to and will love roaming the streets, seeking out new smells. A good high fence, secured at the bottom, is a must for a Beagle, as well as supporting responsible dog ownership. The fence should be at least 1.5 metres tall, as many Beagles will climb or jump a low fence.

Their hunting instincts require them to be active and persistent on the hunt. As a result, they are an active dog that does require exercise, preferably out of their environment where they can exercise their nose as well as their body. Small back yards or townhouses are not the ideal environment for a Beagle, particularly if they do not get regular exercise. A good sized back yard and a regular walk will keep your Beagle healthy and happy.

Training The Beagle is one of the most worked breeds today, using their keen sense of smell and their inquisitive nature to carry out many modern-day support roles. They can be trained to carry many tasks that take advantage of their temperament and instincts. This does, however, mean the strategies used to train a Beagle may need to be modified to those of used for other breeds and needs to be taken into consideration when training a Beagle. The Beagleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sense of smell is their most acute sense and they rely on this as much as a human relies on their sight or hearing. When a Beagle is in a training program, often their instinct is to put their nose on the ground, find out what smells are around, and then pay attention to their trainer. To successfully train a Beagle it is most important for the Beagle to focus on the trainer. This can take a lot of work but must happen before any form of training can take place. One big advantage with a Beagle is that they are almost always very motivated by food. A Beagle will focus on their owner when they have food, so you can use food as a reward when training your Beagle. Beagles love to go for walks and it is probably one of their greatest joys in their day (apart from eating). They can sniff all the new smells around the neighbourhood, in dog parks, along beaches or wherever you take them. They are never happier than with their nose down and their tail in the air. As the nature of the Beagle is to keep their nose on the ground and to sniff everything in their path, it can be frustrating at times when you are wanting a nice leisurely walk yourself. Training will assist to alleviate this but keep in mind that this is what a Beagle is bred to do and is happiest doing. Dog off leash areas are ideal for a Beagle, as it gives them the opportunity to run, smell and sniff as they wish. Owners will often train their Beagle to walk with their nose up getting to and from the off-leash park, then they can have their play time when they are in the off leash area.

Pet Ownership The Beagle

About the Beagle Club of Queensland Inc. The Beagle Club of Queensland Inc. is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2018. Originally formed in 1993, the club has evolved into one of the strongest and most active breed clubs in Queensland. The Club prides itself on being truly an active, state-wide club, supporting and promoting the Beagle breed across Queensland. The Club’s mission is to “support the development and welfare, and undertake the promotion of the purebred Beagle within Queensland”. It has six strategic areas of focus around which to deliver its mission and has a strong membership to coordinate activities for the club across Queensland. This includes supporting regional areas, embracing the regions of Ipswich, Toowoomba, Sunshine Coast, Townsville, Gladstone, Cairns, Hervey Bay and Mackay, as well as Brisbane. Club regional contacts in these areas allow local members to enjoy the support of the club and for the club to provide the same assistance, information and services to the breed across the state. This enables the club to live up to its name of being a Beagle Club of Queensland. As the club strongly advocates for the promotion of the purebred pedigree Beagle, it undertakes to display the club and the breed across Queensland. One of the best opportunities for the club to promote the breed and to provide information on the values of the club and Dogs Queensland is through regular social activities. This mostly is through social walks, where Beagles and their owners get together to enjoy the company of other Beagle owners. Each year the Club conducts over 25 walks across Queensland, with walks in south-east Queensland regularly attended by more than 100 Beagles and their owners. In December 2015, the club broke the world record for the biggest Beagle pack, with 403 Beagles in attendance. This was a wonderful promotion for the breed and for purebred dogs. The club also participates in expos such as the Dog Lovers Expo, All Dogs Sport Spectacular, the Gold Coast pet and Animal Expo and conducts displays at each year’s Brisbane Royal “Ekka” exhibition.

The Club participates in the annual Beagle Over The World event (known as BOW-WOW!), where people and their Beagles across the globe take one special day out to enjoy the breed. In 2018, over 20 locations worldwide participated in this event, with over 1000 Beagles enjoying the day.

The club conducts an active rehoming service, focusing on fostering and rehoming purebred Beagles. This is a significant service provided by the club and has allowed many Beagles to be placed into a new home in a healthy and happy state. This includes Beagles that have unfortunately been abandoned or have been used in animal testing programs. The club also uses their activities to raise awareness about animal testing and activities such as puppy farming. The Beagle Club of Queensland is passionate about fostering the quality of the breed in Queensland and ensuring a high standard to the breeding and availability of purebred pedigree Beagles in Queensland is maintained. This includes supporting Dogs Queensland in their judge’s training program and conducting regular shows for breeders across the state and Australia. As the Beagle Club of Queensland celebrates its twentyfifth year, it recognises the contributions of many members and Beagle owners who have taken a small club focused on supporting the showing of purebred Beagles, to a multidimensional, truly state-wide club, focused on promoting and supporting the purebred pedigree Beagle across Queensland. The health of the Club is without doubt due to the many members across the state who have taken it upon themselves to support the breed we love so much.

Some of the 124 Beagles that participated in the Beagle Club of Queenslandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Twilight Walk at Southbank. The walk was held in conjunction with World Day for Laboratory Animals.

Did you know? Among the traditional English hunting packs, the Foxhound hunt was always conducted from horseback, with the Huntsman wearing the traditional clothing of a red coat. Beagle packs were conducted from foot with the Huntsman in the traditional green coat colour. The coats would be trimmed with colours distinct to that pack.

Promotion has commenced for the 2018 Dog Lovers Show to be held at the Brisbane Showgrounds on Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th November. Invitations have been sent out for Clubs and interested groups to register for a stand at the show. The 2017 show was the first in Brisbane and from all accounts a successful event. Many of the Breed clubs have already registered and are planning their stands. The Dog Lovers Show, is a major event which attracted over 20,000 visitors in 2017 all people and families who love their dogs. What an opportunity for Dogs Queensland Breed Clubs and Groups to create a display and talk about their passion for their breed. What an array of activities! • • • • • •

Pregnancy Fertility

Ever wondered why some single puppy pregnancies happen? Or why a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Singletonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; litter can fail to initiate Labour (parturition)? BIT BLM (Hons), BVSc (Hons)

Singleton Syndrome In Dogs XJ Schneider1, F Hollinshead2, PGA Thomas1 Queensland Veterinary Specialists, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Glenbred: Advanced Small Animal Reproduction, Matamata Veterinary Services Ltd, Matamata, New Zealand

t has been a long-standing notion that single-foetus (and even twin-foetus in large/giant breeds) pregnancies often fail to begin or complete Stage I or Stage II labour and it has been argued that this is due solely to mechanical factors relating to inadequacy of uterine stimulation because of its limited degree of distension (Jones and Joshua, 1982). It is also postulated that cases of foetal oversize can also result in uterine overstretching, and cause uterine inertia (Bennett, 1974). It is evident that there is an influence on parturition in the bitch. First observations of the singleton pregnancy in the canid was reported in 1962 by Marion J. Freak. She noted that the commonest single cause for primary inertia in the bitch was low fertility which resulted in slow initiation of labour. This was reported in a case with a singleton foetus and was thought to be hormonal in origin. Further review of the literature gives little insight into the science behind why singleton litters fail to initiate parturition.

Normal parturition occurs as a result of a rapid decline in progesterone from the 4 to 10 ng/mL in the preceding days, to <2 ng/mL over a 12–24-h interval, beginning 1–2 days before parturition. The decline in progesterone occurs in response to an increase in prostaglandin to luteolytic concentrations, which in turn occurs in response to maturation of the foetal pituitaryadrenal axis and elevations in foetal glucocorticoid concentrations. Prostaglandin F2-alpha, together with endocrine and paracrine actions of oxytocin, stimulate uterine contractility, soften the cervix and relax the birth canal (Verstegen-Onclin and Verstegen, 2008). It is largely unknown why the singleton littler fails to initiate the onset of parturition. McLean, 2012 postulates that this failure could to be due to the concentration of cortisol secreted by one pup being insufficient to adequately initiate luteolysis via prostaglandin release. As a result, gestation is prolonged. It may be that the placentae of small litters are able to provide adequate nutritional support for longer than those in larger litters so the ‘stress’ that stimulates cortisol release is less marked initially or occurs later in the case of single pups or small litters. Davidson, 2011 also argued that failure of luteolysis is not the only mechanism involved in prolonged gestation and primary uterine inertia can play a role. It is important to distinguish failure of luteolysis from primary uterine inertia as both will present as a failure to whelp on the predicted due date. With primary uterine inertia luteolysis has transpired, placental separation is occurring, and foetal distress and death will occur without prompt recognition and treatment. In cases of failure of luteolysis, however there is no foetal distress as placental support of the foetus continues prolonging gestation. With a single, large foetus, and potentially prolonged gestation, there is an increased risk of dystocia as reported by Gaudet. Having this lack of understanding, we sought to identify unique characteristics of singleton litters in bitches. Objective: To identify unique characteristics of singleton litters in bitches.

Methods: Medical records of 28 bitches mated by fresh-extended or chilled trans-vaginal artificial insemination, frozen-thawed surgical insemination or by natural mating at an animal referral hospital from 2005 to 2017 were reviewed. Associations between age, parity, type of mating, semen concentration, progesterone and luteinizing hormone (LH) timing, semen concentration, stage of presentation at whelping and gestation length evaluated.

Results: A mix of dog breeds were represented (n=28) • • • • • • • • •

Beagle n=1 French Bulldog n=5 Toy Poodle n=1 Golden Retriever n=2 Cocker Spaniel n=1 Border Collie n=1 Staffordshire Bull Terrier n=2 Labrador n=2 Black Russian Terrier n=1

• Basenji n=1 • Hungarian Vizsla n=1 • Chow Chow n=4 • Highland White Terrier n=1 • Griffon n=1 • Bull Mastif n=1 • Mini Schnauzer n=1 • Standard Schnauzer n=1 • Greyhound n=1

The mean age at mating was 3y 1m old with a range from 11 months to 9 years old. 12 bitches were nulliparous, 7 were uniparous and 9 were pluriparous. Twenty-one matings had progesterone timing (19 sufficient to identify a progesterone rise determining LH=0), seven had no progesterone timing (which were all natural matings). Thirteen singleton pregnancies occurred from natural matings (of which six had progesterone timing, and of those six cases, three cases LH=0 was identified), 11 singleton pregnancies occurred from surgical inseminations using frozen semen and three singleton pregnancies occurred from fresh transvaginal insemination which both had progesterone timing and subsequent LH=0 identified respectively. Fifty-percent of the semen used for the inseminations had semen concentrations evaluated with a mean of 247.6 million per ml, with a range of 31-900 million per ml. Within this, two of the 14 matings were trans-vaginal inseminations with a mean semen concentration of 850 million per ml.

Study Design: Retrospective Study. Study Population: Twenty-eight Mixed breed bitches.

The remaining 12 matings were performed with frozen-thawed semen using the surgical insemination technique with a mean semen concentration of 147.2 million per ml.

Pregnancy Fertility

The mean motility of the semen used for the inseminations combined was 65% with a range of 35-90%. The mean percent normal sperm evaluated under 1000x for both fresh and frozen inseminations combined was 82% with a range of 70-98%. Overall 22 of 28 (78.5%) bitches required a caesarean section (CS). Of these requiring CS, six of 22 (27.3%) had an elective CS, the remaining 16 (72.7%) has emergency CS. Of the remaining six of 28 bitches, two whelped naturally, and four whelped elsewhere and their method of delivery was unknown. Foetal ultrasonography before surgical intervention revealed a mean foetal heart rate of 181bpm, and those with heart rates <=180 failed to begin or complete Stage I labour. Mean (SD) gestation length calculated from LH surge (calculated from pre-ovulatory progesterone rise) was 64 (2.68) days (n=15). Gestation length was defined from date of delivery (CS or natural whelping) minus LH surge date as predicted by progesterone rise. MIN gestation length was 58 days (n=1) and MAX was 68 days (n=3) • 58 days n=1 • 61 days n=1 • 62 days n=1

• 63 days n=2 • 64 days n=5 • 65 days n=2

It is important to distinguish failure of luteolysis from primary uterine inertia as both will present as a failure to whelp on the predicted due date.

Table 1: Parturition date was predicted to occur 65 days after the initial rise in preovulatory progesterone (P4) concentrations. Actual gestation length was defined as the interval from the initial rise in P4 to birth of the first pup. (Kutzler et al. 2003)

Twenty-one of the 28 bitches had CS, and of the 21, 11 were eCS and 10 were due to foetal distress or failure to progress to stage 2 labour. 2 bitches gave birth naturally and 3 bitches delivery was unknown having their delivery managed elsewhere. Eleven of the 21 bitches having CS had progesterone data recorded at time of surgery with a mean progesterone concentration of 11.7 ng/ml (36.76 nmol/L) with a range of 1.1735.63 ng/ml (3.7-111.9 nmol/L). Of the progesterone recorded at surgery, only one bitch had a low progesterone <2 ng/ml (6.28 nmol/L) and initiated stage 1 labour. Conclusions: In this case series, 78% of bitches failed to progress through the stages of labour, requiring surgical intervention. Interestingly, high progesterone levels recorded at the time of surgery (mean: 11.7 ng/ml) suggest that the bitch may fail to recognize the end of gestation (the bitch and uterus may fail to respond to foetal signals) and initiate parturition. These results support previous hypothesis of Davidson and others that failure of adequate luteolysis occurs with very small litters as foetal crowding does not occur, resulting in a diminished stress signal and the cascade of hormonal events leading to luteolysis and labour fails to occur. Johnson theorized that prolonged gestation contributes to maternal, foetal and perinatal morbidity and mortality and true prolonged gestation occurs in singleton litters. It was mentioned that it is possible that apparent prolonged gestation is that stage I of labour is not recognized, however in this case series only one case returned a progesterone result of <6.28 nmol/L and was recognized and failed to progress to stage II. Davidson reported using 4 cases of primary uterine inertia in 4 Labrador bitches (one which were singleton and two which contained very small litters) that failure of luteolysis is not the only mechanism involved in prolonged gestation, rather using tocodynamometery that primary uterine inertia can occur even with appropriate term gestation, which could be occurring in some of these cases. Further use of tocodynamometery would be beneficial to differentiate uterine inertia vs. failure of luteolysis.

Gaudet, reported foetal oversize was claimed to be the primary aetiology if it was the only obvious cause for the dystocia, and most were single puppy litters with foetus determined to be larger than the breed standard. One future data point to gather is the weight on the singleton foetus as anecdotally we have seen foetuses determined to be larger than the breed standard, however not reported today or included in this study. This initial retrospective study was conducted to allow the identification of unique characteristics of singleton litters in bitches and develop a future study of singleton cases which present to the referral hospital. Further investigation is required into what events fail to initiate parturition and why the singleton syndrome occurs in the bitch. References: Freak, M.J.
