FROM THE ACTING PRESIDENT DARREN BOWEY The Dog Lovers Show is coming up in May and is a great opportunity for clubs to showcase their breeds to the public. This is a Dogs Victoria supported event, and we will be there this year engaging with the public and supporting the virtues of owning pedigreed dogs. If you haven’t thought about it for your breed, I encourage you to go along and engage with the public and attend this event. In 2016 expressions of interest were called for members to be on a new KCC Park Facilities Committee, unfortunately there was little interest from the members to join the new committee and management committee asked the Bulla Facilities Committee to assist in managing KCC Park facilities for an interim period. I’m pleased to advise a new KCC Park Facilities Committee has now been formed and will be chaired by Vaughan Ellis to concentrate on the maintenance and development plan for KCC Park. I thank Wayne Fleming and the hard working Bulla Facilities Committee for taking on the additional workload at KCC Park over the last 12 months. The management committee has approved the development of a Dogs Victoria App to download to smartphones. This will enhance members engagement with the organisation and provide information quickly in addition to our website and Facebook page. Dogs Victoria run events have been approved to have their own Facebook identity to quickly disseminate information to exhibitors.

A review has taken place of the judges training scheme and Cathy Camac has been appointed as the new Chairperson of the conformation judges committee together with some new group leader appointments. Glenys Alexander retired as Chairperson last year and we thank her for the dedication and many years of service to the conformation judges committee. The management committee approved a redesign of the judges training scheme this year to align it more fully to the requirements of the ANKC Judges Training Scheme. The previous lecture series provided breed lectures in each group over a 12-month period and was quite concentrated. The new lecture series will be conducted over a two-year period. By scheduling the breeds over two years instead of one, enables a more detailed lecture series to be introduced on every breed for trainee judges together with less breeds being covered at lectures. This benefits by spending more time on each breed at lectures and alleviates trainees and group leaders attending weekly lectures, as the lectures can be spread out over a longer period.

POZIERES SUB M IT TE D BY: MALCOLM KI R KL AN D VIPs. Brendan Nelson was the main man, next was Dr Harry Cooper, the TV vet. By this time we had quite a gathering of Australians and a lot of the towns people. As we waited, two Clydesdale horses pulling a car loaded with cages containing pigeons arrived, and the ceremony commenced with the release of a hundred pigeons. This was followed by Brendan Nelson and Dr Harry giving speeches, then the French Army dog squad arrived with dogs and lined up on each side of the memorial. In the meantime a squad of Lighthorse Men rode around us. Two donkeys and other horses also wandered around the area.
I recently returned from the small town Pozieres in France where I was privileged to assist Nigel Allsop, author of books about war dogs, in the construction of a memorial to commemorate all animals of any shape or size who where killed in any war, from the Boer war up until today.
Two pardres then went around the area and blessed all the plinths, ending at the statue of St Francis. Brendan and Dr Harry laid wreaths at the main memorial followed by me for the Dandy Dinmont Club and then anyone else that wished also laid wreaths. Everyone then retired to the town hall for refreshments. Gifts were also exchanged between Brendan, the town mayor and Ian Allsop who was the main organiser of the event. All in all it was a very good day for those involved.
The site chosen was about one kilometre from the town of Pozieres. During the First World War known as the windmill site, due to the fact that this was the highest point of land in the entire area, and on top of this ridge was a windmill. For history buffs, the town was in the heart of the Somme Valley, and it was the scene of one of the biggest battles of WW1, part of a 36 mile front where the allied armies lost over 38,000 men, killed, wounded or missing. On the opposite side of the road is the armoured tank memorial. The site for the animal memorial is about 30 metres long and five metres wide there are three plinths. The main one at the head of the site is dedicated to all animals killed in all wars, on the right hand side is the Australian memorial for all Australian dogs, and on the left is the New Zealand memorial for New Zealand dogs. At the head of the site is a statue of St Francis of Assisi, this is for all veterans of all allied forces who were involved in WW1. The day of the dedication dawned bright and fine, the ceremony commenced with the arrival of the www.dogsvictoria.org.au

How did you feel when you realised you had got the points? Did you know during the run that it was one that would get you AGCH or did you realise later? We realised later, on the way home from Morwell, that Ri had probably achieved the title and confirmed things later that night when we checked her records. Did you have any struggles getting AGCH? Ri has been a really solid competitor and is a pleasure to run. Our main struggle is combining active competition/ keeping the dogs trained and fit with having a young family and our own careers.
Handler name Peter Clynes and Roslyn Atyeo. Owner name Roslyn Atyeo. Dog Name (Registered with all titles at the time of getting AGCH) AGCH (500) Yeoville Catch Me If You Can ADM JDM JDO SPDX SDX GDX. Dog call name (and nicknames) Rihanna, nicknames RiRi, Greasy.
Is this your first agility dog? Ri is the fourth agility champion in our household. She was trained and handled primarily by Roslyn (for the first half of her AGCH) until Ros stopped to have her second child, when Peter took over Ri’s handling and subsequently completed the title. Describe how you started doing agility Ros played some agility in Perth in the very old days (two heights, two rounds, one title), but after moving to Melbourne resumed agility in around 2004. Peter was new to the sport then. We enjoy getting out for the day as a family and competing.
Dog breed Border Collie.
Describe your dog’s personality Ri is attention demanding, knows what she wants, and is dedicated to the job at hand. She’s very smart, and great fun to train and compete with.
Age of dog at time of getting AGCH Five years.
Does your dog have any funny quirks? She’s a talker, and has a surprisingly deep voice.
Are you a member of any agility clubs? K9 Agility Club, Berwick Obedience Dog Club and the Border Collie Club of Victoria.
What is your dog’s favourite piece of agility equipment? Whichever one we point her at.
Name and date of trial where AGCH obtained Gippsland Obedience Dog Club, 12 June 2017.
What is your dog’s favourite toy or treat? Anything she can eat, tug or do both.

OBEDIENCE, TRACKING & ENDURANCE
OTEC NOTES WR IT TE N BY: DAWN HOWAR D Lots of important doggy things will happen in Victoria during 2018. In January and February Victoria has a lay off for trials, such a pity, and in March there is mainly just specialty events, effectively a three-month period with little trial activity. This month OTEC activities have started in earnest. Right now, the hard working team members are preparing for the OTEC Easter obedience and rally trials. The learner’s rings will be very interesting. Hopefully, clubs will continue with the idea. The autumn season of Foos, have also been run and were quite successful. The very important ANKC rule change conference for tracking and track and search is scheduled for 10 & 11 March in Adelaide. That committee consists of a delegate from each state and territory in Australia. They must agree on the rule changes brought forward from each state and territory. Believe me it is a very intensive two days. Dogs Victoria’s delegate and advocate is Lynn Klecka, and I will be there as an observer. You can rest assured that your wishes will be made clear. In the end, we can only hope for a set of rules that works for most states. Australia is a large country with events huge distances apart. It is very difficult to develop rules,
especially for tracking, that suit both tropical and very cold areas. I have been to tracking trials as far apart as Darwin and Hobart. Because we as a nation are adaptable, we adjust to suit the conditions. According to the ANKC rules, delegates and observers have to sign a confidentiality agreement. We won’t be able to tell you what the changes are until they are announced after the minutes are confirmed at the ANKC October Conference. Sorry, but they are the rules. OTEC Committee Chair: Mrs Lynn Klecka klecka@ncable.net.au / 0418 333 312 Deputy: Ms Melissa Ferabend melissaf@hotmail.com.au / 0414 640 402 Mrs Sue Collier collierpaulsue@gmail.com / 0431 270 214 Mrs Dawn Howard killarakennels@gmail.com / 0412 088 055 Mrs Linda Johnson giday000@gmail.com / 0468 375 147 Happy training and trialling.
Serious congratulations to Victoria’s recent tri champions and dual grand champions. One bitch is listed twice because she became a tri champion and then achieved the second of two grand champion titles. The ANKC is yet to decide on how dogs with two or more grand champion titles will be officially designated. These dogs are ahead of their time!

ROYAL CANIN KNOWLEDGE HUB
COPROPHAGIA SUB M IT TE D BY: ROYAL C AN IN
Coprophagia describes a condition where a dog may ingest his or her own faeces, the faeces of another dog or even another animal. Coprophagia is usually more troublesome for pet owners, than it is harmful to the dog. Coprophagia can be a behavioural issue but may also occur with numerous medical problems. Medical problems must be first ruled out before a purely behavioural diagnosis can be made. Why is my dog consuming faeces? Coprophagia can be a normal behaviour especially in nursing bitches to keep the puppies and the den clean. Puppies may also ingest their own faeces, presumably to help establish gut flora. Outside of these two circumstances, coprophagia is not a normal behaviour and may be associated with a poor diet, a medical condition and/or a behavioural issue. As there can be numerous causes for coprophagia, it is important to consult your veterinarian. At a minimum your veterinarian may perform a physical and faecal examination on your dog. Faecal examinations are important to assess for parasites but may also provide 6
Dogs Victoria | April 2018
clues of a digestive issue in your dog (e.g. undigested nutrients such as fats, may be discovered on faecal examination). Any circumstance that alters the way food is digested and how nutrients are absorbed can lead to coprophagia. For example, internal parasites that reside in the bowel interfere with digestion and reduce nutrient absorption. Roundworms, hookworms, whipworms and Giardia are parasites frequently found in faecal examinations at kennels where coprophagia is confirmed. If multiple dogs are affected in a kennel environment, mixing faecal samples from several dogs will increase the probability of identifying the parasites involved. Medical issues relating to the pancreas or gastrointestinal tract can affect the digestion of food and have been associated with coprophagia. Your veterinarian may want to perform further tests to assess their function. Behavioural problems Coprophagia has been associated with many behavioural issues including but not limited to attention seeking behaviour, anxiety, lack of enrichment,
ROYAL CANIN KNOWLEDGE HUB environmental stress and as a learned behaviour from another dog in the household who is coprophagic. Feeding habits can play a role too. Heavily restricted food rations in dogs on weight loss programs may result in the consumption of a dog’s own faeces driven by hunger. On the other hand, over eating may also drive coprophagia. A good example is where several dogs are fed at the same time in a kennel environment. The competition at feeding time can speed up ingestion and in some dogs could result in the overconsumption of food. Too much food eaten quickly can accelerate the movement of food through the bowel, leading to the poor assimilation of nutrients. Consequently, undigested nutrients can be found in the faeces and may make the faecal matter more palatable to the dog. Stress, related to kennel conditions or an external stressful event (e.g. a thunderstorm) can also initiate this behavioural problem. What should I do if my dog is coprophagic? It is imperative that you consult your veterinarian. Medical causes should always be identified and treated. If a medical cause is ruled out, your veterinarian will be able to suggest some behavioural strategies to help and may prescribe products that can be applied to the faeces for example, to help with taste aversion.
www.dogsvictoria.org.au
The behavioural strategies your veterinarian may suggest could be based around avoiding the opportunity for your dog to ingest faeces, redirecting your dog’s attention or encourage teaching an alternate behaviour altogether. Your veterinarian will be able to advise what will work best for your dog. Ensure you speak to your veterinarian about ways to enrich your dogs environment to provide more stimulation throughout the day as this can be helpful. Take home messages Coprophagia is only considered a normal behaviour in nursing bitches and young puppies. Coprophagia has been associated with medical causes relating to the pancreas and gastrointestinal system (e.g. intestinal parasites). Numerous behavioural causes exist for coprophagia that are considered possible once a medical cause is ruled out. Your veterinarian should always be consulted in the case of coprophagia. They will be able to identify and treat any medical causes and provide appropriate behavioural advice for your dog where necessary.

THE LAW AND YOU
VICTORIAN GOVERNMENT TO OVERHAUL ANIMAL WELFARE WITH NEW AC TION PLAN SUB M IT TE D BY: TE R R I MAC DONALD The Victorian Government has kicked off what is an election year with the release of its new animal welfare policy, outlined in the Animal Welfare Action Plan – Improving the Welfare of Animals in Victoria. The release of the Action Plan follows consultation in 2017 with stakeholders (which included Dogs Victoria) and the community by the Department and was developed with assistance from the Victorian Government’s Animal Welfare Advisory Committee. In the media release announcing the release of the action plan, Minister for Agriculture, Jaala Pulford, states that the plan builds on the Government’s Puppy Farm Bill and “… takes a shared approach to improving animal welfare, encouraging a proactive approach across all Victorians in caring for the welfare of animals”.
The Government has stated that consultation with community and industry will commence later this year on the review of the Act. It has also stated that it will work with animal industries and sector representatives, enforcement agencies and the community on the implementation of the Action Plan. Dogs Victoria will ensure that the interests of our members and the future of pedigree dogs are central in our discussions with the government as we work through these reviews and consultations. We will also ensure that members are kept informed of developments through our regular communications and publications. The Animal Welfare Action Plan can be read at the Department’s website at http://agriculture.vic.gov.au/ agriculture/animal-health-and-welfare/animal-welfare.
Importantly, unlike other legislation that focuses on specific groups (e.g. Domestic Animals Act), all animals are covered by the Action Plan, including pets, livestock, native animals, aquatic animals, and animals used for research, teaching, tourism and recreation (such as hunting and rodeos). As a fundamental principle, the Action Plan recognises that all animals are sentient and experience feelings and emotions such as pleasure, comfort, fear and pain. This principle will underpin the Victorian Government’s approach to animal welfare matters as it reviews and amends existing legislation, regulations and guidelines. The Action Plan sets four priority areas: •
a policy and legal framework intended to safeguard and improve animal welfare in Victoria
•
collaboration that advances and promotes investment in animal welfare
•
education and communication that improves attitudes, knowledge, skills and compliance
•
compliance and enforcement that is efficient and effective
The Action Plan also establishes the Department’s new Bureau of Animal Welfare Victoria and, as one of its first tasks, commits to a public review and overhaul of Victoria’s current Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. www.dogsvictoria.org.au

RICKETS A NUTRITION RELEASED SKELETAL DISORDER WR IT TE N BY: D R M IC HAE L B E LL
What is rickets?
Because dogs are not able to synthesize vitamin D they require a vitamin D source in their diet. Vitamin D is absorbed from the small intestine via passive diffuson and is dependent on the bite salts from here it is transported to the liver where it is hydroxylated (hydroxyl group is added to it). A second hydroxylation then recurs in the kidney resulting in the formation of the metabolite calcitriol. This calcitriol is the metabolite that stimulates the absorption of calcium and phosphorous from the intestine and kidney. Both calcium and phosphorus are needed for mineralisation of both cartilage and unmineralised bone (called physeal). Rickets is a result of defective mineralisation of newly formed bone and cartilage as well as thickening of the metaphyseal part of the bone (i.e. the bone surrounding and including the growth plate). It is the term used to describe vitamin D deficiency in young animals, in adults it is known as osteopenia deficiency of the bone. Vitamin D deficiency is most commonly the result of inadequate vitamin D intake or internal “production� of vitamin D. However, rickets can also occur secondarily to reduce phosphorus intake, or can increase the abnormal calcium phosphorus ratio. Rickets can also occur with normal vitamin D intake at any age (approximately three weeks of age), where the calcium intake is excessive this causes hypocalcemia, secondary hyperparathyroidism and tertiary reduced calcitriol formation.
12
Dogs Victoria | April 2018
How are cases diagnosed?
Where a dog is suspected of having rickets a thorough examination of the diet needs to be undertaken. These days commercial dog foods contain 2-10 times the minimum recommended amount of vitamin D, hence rickets is normally only seen in animals feed improperly constructed homemade foods such as un-supplemented dried vegetables in foods. Radiographs of affected dogs show a thinness of the arteries of the long bone, (outer section) and very thickened growth plates. This widening of the growth plate is not directly associated with low calcium / high phosphorus diets but is a strong indicator of rickets. Vitamin D deficiency can be diagnosed by measuring circulating levels of vitamin D metabolites. Where rickets is present lack of the metabolite calcitriol will be reduced.
How are affected dogs treated?
Normally transitioning the affected dogs to a nutritionally balanced commercial diet will reduce rickets within three weeks. In cases where dogs fail to respond to balanced diet vitamin D supplementations may be required.
