FROM THE PRESIDENT WAYNE FLEMING It’s a bit weird I am writing my second report in May and I still have not officially taken over as president. Another reason to address the way we communicate with members in a more timely fashion. More about that next month. We have had a number of changes to management committee following the recent elections. I would like to thank Cathy Camac and Pauline Ashton, our retiring management committee members, for their excellent contribution over the last four years. At the same time I would like to acknowledge Vaughan Ellis who has resigned. Not only was Vaughan a member of management committee but he was also a member of the facilities committee, and his knowledge and contribution to improvements at both facilities will be sadly missed. I wish all three all the best for the future. Alternatively I would like to welcome our newly elected management committee members. Lynne Harwood has been elected as vice president and Lou Howlett-Trahar, Wendy Johnson and Chris Moore have been elected onto management committee. Congratulations on being elected.
At the time of writing quotes had been obtained to repair the rings on the main exhibition area at KCC Park and hopefully by now work will have commenced. Our first regional member forum is being held this month in Shepparton on 4 July at the Shepparton Agricultural Society Rooms. Further visits will be held in Bendigo, Ballarat, Geelong, Traralgon, and at our two metropolitan facilities at Bulla and KCC Park. Advance notice will be given re venues and dates. Don’t forget if you have any particular issues you would like addressed at these forums, please send them to feedback@dogsvictoria.org.au. Finally, on behalf of management committee I would like to thank everyone, clubs, volunteers, staff, and promotions committee members for helping to promote all our wonderful breeds at the recent Dog Lovers Show. This year our chief executive, Tim Adams, was able to negotiate free of charge extra space to promote the Dogs Victoria brand. To be allocated so much space for Dogs Victoria was great to see.
We have decided to revert back to having two facilities committees, one for KCC Park and one for the Bulla Exhibition Centre. Chris Moore will chair the KCC Park committee and Peter Frost (Afghans) will chair the Bulla committee.

DOG LOVERS SHOW
DOG LOVERS SHOW Dogs Victoria attended the Dogs Lovers Show 3-5 May 2018 with a multitude of volunteers, clubs and staff all eager to showcase our beloved purebred dogs to the public. And what a fantastic event it was with over 37,000 attendees providing an exceptional platform to talk to the public about pedigree dogs and responsible dog ownership. The Dogs Lovers Show, now in its sixth year, was created as a tribute to the unconditional love we share with our dogs, this naturally lends itself to a perfect partnership

for Dogs Victoria. We hope to see an increase in participation and bigger and better things to come in future years – so please note in your diary 3-5 May 2019 as the next Dog Lovers Show in Melbourne. We cannot express our appreciation enough to our many volunteers, clubs, promotions committee who donated their time to this event. Thank you also to Dogs Victoria employees for the many hours in meeting, planning and working in making this event a success.
DOG LOVERS SHOW
CLASSIC DOG SHOW COMMITTEE SUB M IT TE D BY: C L ASSIC DOG SHOW COM M IT TE The Classic Dog Show Committee are extremely proud to announce that we have been able to arrange and finance the installation of ring lockers at each of the outside rings on the front lawn (exhibition area one) at KCC Park. The Classic Dog Show Committee runs the Classic Dog Show each February. Our committee raises money towards facilities for Dogs Victoria, usually relating to KCC Park. In the past we have raised well over $250,000 towards these facilities. Hopefully, exhibitors will support the Classic Dog Show, knowing that all monies raised are channelled into furthering Dogs Victoria facilities. The committee spent quite some time to ensure we developed a locker design that would allow sufficient equipment to be stored at each ring, thus promoting www.dogsvictoria.org.au
easy set up and running of events at KCC Park. The ring lockers have been strategically placed on the concrete pads at each ring, providing easy access but not affecting the use of the main area of the concrete pad. The Classic Dog Show Committee wish to recognise the outstanding efforts of Mr David Cartledge, husband of committee person Mrs Julie Cartledge, who was instrumental in the design of these ring lockers. David also arranged the manufacture of the lockers and was responsible for their installation. Overall, the committee are very happy with the final outcome – and hope these ring lockers will be well cared for and remain an asset to us all at KCC Park for many years to come.

OBEDIENCE, TRACKING & ENDURANCE
OTEC NOTES WR IT TE N BY: DAWN HOWAR D Straight after Easter, Melbourne hosted the agility nationals. Now I know we do not represent agility, but it has to be said that the agility nationals were a wonderful example of organisation and cooperation. With a huge entry, everything was very well planned. When gale force winds struck and marquees blew away on the Saturday, the Boxhall pavilion was used to shelter the inhabitants of the marquees. The fact that the committee managed to move on and complete the event was a credit to all. OTEC held a structured workshop for judges training on that horrible Saturday. We were also glad to be able to come into the Boxhall pavilion. We provided some entertainment for the triallers who were sheltering from the storm. Thank you to Kim Houlden and Ross Carlson and all the handlers who helped us out.

Thankfully we have had some very successful trials during April and May. The Tracking Club of Victoria held a track and search trial in Ballarat, based at the Polocrosse grounds. Great venue, great weather and a very good pass rate. I had the pleasure of judging AG CH 400 T Ch Phineas Fogg and his loving owner Carole Denehey. This little dog is amazing. It was a warm day, but at one point we had to run after him. Why is he so special? He is a very fit, and very active 14-year-old beautiful old man, who still has so much living to do. Croydon and Berwick held successful trials. Berwick’s ground and rings were in peak condition but their entry was disappointingly low. One theory is that it was due to a lack of online entries that caught some people on the hop. In recent times we have become accustomed to the efficiency of online entries. I certainly had to search for the cheque book and a postage stamp. On the topic of online entries, many of our obedience clubs have had a very good experience with Show Manager, who are very helpful and friendly. Dogs Victoria has recently signed a two-year contract with Easy Dog Entries as their online provider. While Dogs Victoria requires their own events to use their preferred provider, clubs are free to use whichever provider gives them the service they require. Clubs who wish to book Dogs Victoria obedience equipment are asked to use the new form which is on the Dogs Victoria website.

LIFE MEMBERSHIP APPROVAL PANEL
C ANINE CONTRIBUTION WR IT TE N BY: GAE L WI LCOC K
Dogs are an important part of our lives and also in the general community. It is well documented that dogs have a positive impact on all aspects of people’s lives, especially those in less than favourable situations i.e. in nursing homes, aged care facilities etc. Many of our well credentialed show and action dogs spend time away from sanctioned events visiting those people who, for one reason or another, are unable to keep a loved family pet for company. Some years ago, I assisted a friend who was taking Corgis to visit an aged care facility, and the joy on the faces when the dogs interacted with the residents made the day a memorable one for me. This year, a Welsh Corgi (Pembroke), Neut Gr Ch Windyle Black Brocade CCD RN PT owned by Mrs Aileen Dibble, has been recognised with the Outstanding Canine Contribution Award. Benson is well known, both in the show ring and also the dog sports ring, with a multitude of titles to his credit, but his other activities in the general community, raising the profile of pedigree dogs, have made him a worthy recipient of this award. There would be many of our canine friends who would be eligible for this award. Please read the criteria published in the Gazette and contact Jacinta Baker at the Dogs Victoria office on 9788 2510 or jbaker@dogsvictoria.org.au for further information.

AGILITY
AGILITY ON THE MOVE SUB M IT TE D BY: C ASSI E C R EW help get her on the straight and narrow. She became my best friend for 14 years and we learnt to do obedience badly and we learnt to jump well. I love the look on the dogs’ faces when they fly, ears flapping and big grins. I love the technical aspect of the training and competition but mostly I love playing the games with the dogs.
Megan Smith is Victoria’s newest agility judge – we thought we’d introduce her! Tell us a bit about yourself I’m a small animal veterinarian, with a special interest and international certification in veterinary acupuncture, for nearly 20 years now. I live with my husband Trevor and daughters Jasmine and Milly. My dogs are chocolate Labradors, Tahlia and Jindabyne, and Australian Cattle Dog Bluey. A Burmese called Smooch and six Isa Brown chickens.
Why did you decide to become an agility judge and how did you go about the process? I love the agility community and the family that it has created. As my dogs headed towards their well earnt retirement, I looked towards ways I could put back into the community and stay involved until the time is right to get another pup. The aspiring judges program has been a long road for me, stopping in the middle to have a child. There’s been many hours of course design, many local clubs backing me and letting me do their fun days. My mentor, James Browne deserves a special mention. He has been an inspiration to me since my teenage years and is really the reason I was able to complete the course. He is a super kind and supportive person and had faith in me when I was most challenged. Judging and creating the courses has been very different and you need to look at the course design from such a different perspective that it was a real challenge. On the practical testing day I was nervous but confident in my own ability to judge and I loved my courses so I was keen to watch them run with dogs of various skill levels.
My girls are all tracking champions, I’ve done a lot of rally, endurance, noseworks, therapy and education work and a scattering of obedience. I breed Labradors under the prefix Alanglen and am passionately behind pet rescue and therapy dogs. We love camping and the dogs are a big part of that.
Do you have any final comments? I would like to thank James Browne, as previously mentioned. He and his wife, Erica put in so much time and I will always be grateful. James was always there backing me, guiding me but never feeding me answers, a true teacher and a true inspiration. I would like to thank Nikki Janetzki for all of the work she did in the aspiring judges program. I’d also like to thank my husband Trevor, for tolerating and encouraging me with this obsession we call dogs sports and in particular agility. A special mention to my retired cheeky chocolate dogs that ran many courses for me in their testing stages. I’m very excited to be judging one of my favourite breeds at the Australian Shepherd Club specialty and later in the year I will be at Warnnambool for a big weekend.
How did you get into agility? I first started agility back in the days when the purebreds and the associates played the game in different rings, around 1990 from memory. As a family we had a naughty cattle dog pup and I was off to the local dog school to
I’ve spent my life dedicated and passionate about my dogs, and those around me. I’ve always had the dogs’ love for the game and the dogs’ welfare at the foremost of my mind and I look forward to building fast and flowing courses that we can all enjoy.
We recently said a very loving goodbye to my senior girl Maddie Rose at 15 ½ years of age, whilst she is gone, the many people who she loved and loved her will never forget her. She was certainly the most amazing dog I could have been blessed to know.

CONFORMATION
CONFORMATION CORNER SUB M IT TE D BY: JASON MOOR E Hello and welcome to the July edition of the Conformation Corner! Once again it’s another busy month of shows ahead, with many shows to be held at KCC Park and Bulla. I wish you all the best of luck and hope you have a pleasant time showing. A significant conformation event held during the year is the Dogs Victoria Junior Handler State Final, hosted by the Junior Kennel Club of Victoria on Saturday 7 July. The state final is the culmination and celebration of children participating at conformation shows in Victoria. Being a past President of the Junior Kennel Club, I know how hectic and frantic the day can be. Congratulations to all our winners, I am sure all of Victoria will join me in wishing the state final winner all the best at the national final later in the year. On a personal note, I just want to say big congratulations to all the participants in qualifying for the state final, it is no easy feat for a child to handle a dog and be assessed by an adult. I must also mention that the Junior Kennel Club runs the state final on behalf of Dogs Victoria, and that the committee members are always grateful of the financial support provided by our state body. Further to that I have heard some conflicting rumours by some members about the Junior Kennel Club and the national junior handler final. I’ve had members comment that it’s up to the Junior Kennel Club to solely cover the expenses of the state winner attending the national final. This is not true and it’s not in the club’s charter to actually do this. The club does what it can to raise money for the state winner each year. Now this can vary year to year. Pedigree used to do it in the past and now it’s based on donations or paying your own way. This is how it was when I was on Junior Kennel Club after Pedigree abolished the junior handler program. Therefore whilst I implore everyone and anyone to support the juniors where they can, it is up to all of us do what we can and not simply rely on one kennel club.
dog shows are used as an escape from everyday life. I personally enjoy going to dog shows as I get to spend time with my close friends and my dogs too, although I am busy grooming most of the day I do find it relaxing and enjoyable. I am sure this case for most of us; therefore it really irritates me when I see other exhibitors simply being bad sports because their dogs didn’t win. Over the last few months I have seen several exhibitors refuse to take their dog back in the ring because they didn’t win first place, or a challenge, or even a best in group! I find this to be extremely sour grapes, and let’s face it. If our dogs win a prize that’s fantastic but does the dog actually change? Does the dog actually know that it won? Of course it doesn’t, all the dog wants is make you happy and show its best. Therefore, next time you’re at a show and your dog doesn’t win, instead of storming out of the ring in a puff, why don’t you congratulate the other exhibitor and move on? It doesn’t take much, and perhaps the next time you win, they may do the same. If everyone acts like good sports it will make everyone’s day that much more enjoyable, giving us that much more of a break from our ‘real’ lives. Anyway, have a think and see how you go. I know personally I’ll try and be the best sport I can be, as I want to treat others how I want to be treated. Thanks once again for reading this month’s article, if you have any similar stories or views to share with me, then I would be more than happy to cover it. Until next time.
On a different note, I do apologise for the irregularity of my conformation corner for this year, I have recently moved house and the aspects of ‘real life’ have taken over. I’ve needed to chop trees down, replace fences, build carports, and fix the kitchen, the list goes on. We all get caught up with our own everyday lives and upon reflection I realised how important our lives are, and how www.dogsvictoria.org.au

FROM THE VET
ORTHOTIC & PROSETHETIC DEVICES WR IT TE N BY: D R M IC HAE L B E LL Which orthotics are used for what injuries? Strains Grade one strains are caused by overstretching of a ligament without a tear or loss of function. They are usually supported with a soft neoprene wrap or splint that applies mild pressure around the whole area and stabilises the surrounding soft tissue hence reducing ligament movement and allowing healing to occur more quickly.
Classification of orthosis There are two classifications of orthosis, static and dynamic. Static braces keep the joint in a fixed position and are used where rigid support is required for factures, ligament and tendon injuries. Soft tissue injuries, nerve injuries and post-operative support. These orthosis maintain the joint at a particular angle hence providing support and proper functioning. They do not articulate. They are different to splints, made from materials such as fiberglass, because they can be easily removed and replaced because they contain a hook loop fastening stops or other attachment methods, they are made from a lightweight long lasting strong material such as the complast or carbon fiber and can be easily cleaned. Dynamic braces contain a hinge system which can allow normal range of motion of a joint whilst preventing abnormal motion, or they can limit the range of motion. The hinges are made of either metal or composite rubber. The metal hinges have the advantage of allowing multidirectional movement and a variable range of motion, but they do not absorb the forces of ambulation as well as those made from composite rubber, which not only absorb but store and return the stress and force pronounced during treatment. This in turn improves patient comfort. The dynamic braces are commonly used to stabilise joints with ligament instability and during recovery from Achilles tendon injury.
12
Dogs Victoria | July 2018
Grade two strains occur where the ligament is intact but has a partial tear and hence a loss of strength. A neoprene wrap can be used to provide some support to the injured area but it is often useful to add a low temperature theopoetic device to enhance stability and reduce the range of movement stress to the affected area. An alternative is to use lower density high temperature theopoetic braces that are more flexible and allow some motion. In cases of more chronic grade two strains in dogs with a higher activity level or in overweight dogs high temperature custom made theopoetic orthotics are more useful because they provide the greatest support. Where needed complete immobilisation of the joint can be attained. Grade three strains occur where there is complete disruption or tearing of the ligament and there is joint instability. Hence semi rapid and rigid orthosis can be used to provide joint support as an alternative to surgical arthrodesis in cases where the dog is not a surgical candidate. Stifle injuries There are three categories of stifle braces. Prophylactic braces to prevent or reduce the severity of stifle injury; rehabilitation braces designed to protect the range of motion of an injured stifle, and functorially designed braces that allow mobilisation of an unstable stifle whilst still providing support. Functorially hinged braces have become the preferred support for dogs with injuries such as cranial cruciate damage or collateral ligament damage that are not good surgical candidates. These braces take away the stress on the cranial cruciate ligament hence allowing the stifle to function normally and assist the dog in continuing its daily exercise and living. These braces are also useful to support the stifle prior to surgical repair. They do
FROM THE VET not assist in speeding healing but do provide adequate support and prevent further surgery. The brace used for this purpose is a custom fabricated brace derived from vacuum formable plasters. It contains a uniaxial hinge that allows full range of movement of the stifle joint whilst preventing excessive forward and backward movements of the stifle. Constructive /assist type braces Joint constructive occurs due to shortening of the connective tissue and muscles around the joint in question. This commonly occurs with prolonged immobility postoperatively but can also occur where excessive scar tissue forms after injury. When the joint contracture affects movement, compensating stress is placed on other parts of the body and there are three methody bent joint contractures, these being assist casting, static progressive of being used to strain and dynamic strain. Over the years assist casting/splinting has more commonly been used and relies on static progressive stretching, hence the joint is taken slightly past its end range and held in this position for a few days to a week. A new cast or splint is then applied, its again taken the joint past its new end range. The hindrance to this technique is the expense involved in constantly rebandaging/splinting the affected area.
The thermoplastic materials used are either high or low temperature types based on the temperature they become pliable. The high temperature thermoplastic materials are molded at approximately 177 degrees celsius. They need to be molded over a plastic model of the body part because contact of this material with the skin would burn the skin. Their benefit is that they stay as strong and more durable than the low temperature thermoplastics, and hence are used where they will undergo a lot of stress or be used for a long time. Forelimb orthotics can also be made from low temperature thermoplastics. These materials become pliable at 60 degrees celsius and can be molded directly over the extremity. Low temperature orthotics are commonly used in low stress areas or where required for temporary use. Both high and low temperature orthotics need to be stretched to the body. This is achieved using straps constructed of hook and loop tape. The orthotics can include padding to cushion over sensitive areas and often include respite interface to absorb moisture that forms under the orthotic and protects the skin.
Static progressive braces are applied 30 minutes 2 - 3 times daily and are to hold the tendon at a constant length. During each 30 minute session the force applied is increased each 5 - 10 minutes to increase the range of motion during brace application. Dynamic braces contain a component that provides tension to a contracted joint. This component can be such things as rubber bands, springs or “ultra-flex joints�. The ultra-flex joints whilst being more expensive allow for an adjustable torque in flexion or extension over a prolonged period. Also, the tension they provide is continuous throughout the full range of motion, something that does not occur with rubber bands and springs because they stretch with use. These dynamic braces can be worn up to eight hours at a time without adjustment making their compliance greater. What are orthotics constructed from? There are ready made orthotics available that are nonrigid, but most are custom made to fit the specific needs of the patient. These are made from lightweight thermoplastic materials, i.e. plastics that become pliable when heated and retain their shape once cooled. These sheets can be molded to exactly fit body parts and can repeatedly be reshaped as the treated body area changes shape. This resulting orthotic part is lightweight and easy to maintain. www.dogsvictoria.org.au
