FROM THE PRESIDENT WAYNE FLEMING Recently the ANKC was asked to decide whether to recognise the Australian Bosdog on the development register for a period of 10 years. I can now advise that this resolution was denied.
Welcome to the November report, Melbourne Cup Carnival time! By the time you read this report the Melbourne Cup would have been run and won, and Dogs Victoria’s affiliated clubs will have hosted in excess of 50 events making it one of the most exciting five days for dog exhibitors. Just think of the organising that went on with numerous breed specialities, group specialities, all breeds shows, open shows, agility trials and obedience trials. On behalf on the Management Committee of Dogs Victoria, I wish to offer a hearty congratulations to all those members who made this weekend possible. This month we celebrate a couple of special milestones. I would like to send belated best wishes to Jane Harvey who recently celebrated her 80th birthday and to Bob Harvey who turned 85 recently. On behalf of the management committee and members I wish you both all the best.
Last month management committee completed an initial application to the Yarra Trams Community Partnership Program which comprised preparing a video at short notice on how Dogs Victoria meets the criteria of Inclusion and Diversity. For a sneak preview of the clip go to our website in the Members Area, go to Promotion Materials, then Media page. Our regional forums continue this month with our visit to Traralgon on 14 November 2018 at the Traralgon RSL commencing at 7pm. I would just like to conclude with some reminders, don’t forget the Royal Canin Summer Spectacular commences on Friday 30 November, the management committee elections close on Tuesday 4 December at 4pm and the Big Day Out will be held on Sunday 9 December 2018.
Another milestone was reached recently when Sandra Mashford celebrated 60 years as a Dogs Victoria member. Well done Sandra. On a further note congratulations goes to Dee Hamilton on being placed third in the World Dog Show Junior Handler Final 2018.

RETRIEVING AND FIELD TRIALS
R AFT NOTES WR IT TE N BY: NOE L E LTR IN G HAM
National Retrieving Trial Championship – Alexandra Victoria Dogs Victoria RAFT Committee conducted the 2018 National Retrieving Trial Championship over three days on two properties close to Alexandra, Victoria on 14, 15 & 16 September. A total of 51 dogs were entered with competitors coming from all states in Australia.
The trial was conducted over eight runs, two runs on the first day, four runs on the second day and finished with two runs on the third day. The judges for the event were Kate and Noel Eltringham from Victoria.
From a total of 51 entries, 49 dogs made it to the start line to commence the trial. The first run was a double mark and blind find retrieve and second was a triple mark retrieve. A total of 33 of the 49 dogs starting the event completed the two runs on day one. The weather for day two took a turn for the worse with strong winds and sleet coming down at times. Run three was a double mark and a blind retrieve. A total of three dogs failed to complete run three. Run four consisted of another triple mark retrieve. This run contained a lot 4
Dogs Victoria | November 2018
of reeds around a partially dry wetland area with the handlers having small windows of opportunity to help their dogs should they get into trouble. A total of ten dogs failed to complete run four. Run five consisted of a mark and two bird retrieve (bird is cast when the dog is returning with the first item of game). A total of seven dogs failed to complete run five. Run six was a double blind and a mark retrieve. The blinds were to be retrieved first and could be retrieved in any order prior to the mark being retrieved. A total of two dogs failed to complete run six.
After day two a total of 11 dogs were left to come to the starting line to commence day three. Run seven consisted of a double fall (a bird is cast when the dog is going to retrieve a mark retrieve) and a blind retrieve. Dogs that squared the line up to swim straight across a lagoon had difficulty seeing the cast of the double fall bird. All dogs completed run seven. Run eight consisted of a mark and double blind retrieve. All legs of the run were across water with the mark at 80 metres straight across a lagoon. Unfortunately, one dog was lost on this run after the handler failed to prepare and fire at the mark retrieve and sent his dog off for the blind without the mark being cast. This left a total of ten dogs to complete the 2018 National Retrieving Trial Championship.
RETRIEVING AND FIELD TRIALS
The trialling fraternity is indebted to the owners of the land, Bev and John Reece and Val and Andrew Armstrong for making their properties available for the conduct of the trial. Up to 200 spectators were in attendance to view some of the trial. The organising committee is also indebted to the Trial Manager Wayne Poholke and local Dogs Victoria members, Lyn Wise, Julie Cramond, Jean Roberts and Bronwyn McFadden without whose assistance the trial would not have been such a success.

CONFORMATION
CONFORMATION CORNER WR IT TE N BY: JASON MOOR E Hello and welcome to the November edition of the Conformation Corner! November is always a milestone month for us as it brings one of the best conformation dog show weekends that Victoria has to offer – Melbourne Cup weekend. With over 35 breed specialty shows, four group specialty shows and two all breeds shows held over five days, it attracts many in the dog fraternity from interstate and overseas! It is great that we attract so many exhibitors to this event and share this wonderful weekend with. I hope you all do well, catch up with old friends, make new friends, place a bet on a winning horse, and most of all – enjoy yourselves! It does not matter if you win or lose, your dogs will love you regardless, and you’ll still have a great day out with your friends. I always enjoy it when I get great feedback from my fellow members who read my column, it is you who drive me to continue to do so. Over the years, I’ve covered news about numerous member’s dogs and this month was no different. Jane Harvey, advised me a few weeks ago that history was made amongst the Tenterfield Terriers, with Teddy – Gr Ch Rangeaire John Farnham has become the first ever supreme champion Tenterfield Terrier. Jane was able to provide me with this extract: History was made on August 19 at the Tenterfield Terrier Club of NSW’s championship show when Gr Ch Rangeaire John Farnham, was awarded best exhibit in show. Combine this with his SA speciality win and eight best exhibit in groups; he is now a supreme champion. Having known a ‘Mini Foxie’ in my childhood days, I enjoyed being involved with the development of the Tenterfield Terrier as a purebred. This was accepted in 2002. Having bred 86 champion Airedales, I am thrilled that my 100th champion has become Tenterfield Terrier’s first ‘supreme’. Congratulations to Teddy’s owners Bob and Ruth Murdoch who campaigned him to this milestone.
Thank you Jane for sharing this wonderful news, it’s always exciting when history can be made amongst any breed. For anyone else who are campaigning their dogs to this title – keep at it, its hard work but the reward will be worth it. I was fortunate enough to attend the 2018 Royal Adelaide Show back in September (I had not been for 6
Dogs Victoria | November 2018
over four years), and it actually coincided with the 2018 Australian Junior Handler National Finals on Sunday 9 September. And Victoria should be extremely proud, as our very own Dee Hamilton was crowned the winner (with Taylah Rattray from NSW being runner up). Congratulations Dee, you’ve done a fantastic job and deserve this win; you’ll make us proud at Crufts in 2019. This is actually the second year in a row where a Victorian represents Australia at Crufts (Hollie Mann was crowned Australia’s representative in 2017). This just once again shows that Victoria has some exceptional young handlers and we all should be honoured that our next generation of handlers look extremely promising. At the time of writing this article, I got wind of a lovely little story that emerged at the 2018 Royal Melbourne Show, it too is focused on junior handlers. A boy named Jay I believe attended the Royal and competed in junior handlers for the very first time showing an Australian Shepherd. Jay then unexpectedly was awarded first in his class and then got to compete in the Royal on general specials day. Jay also had his photograph taken with Dogs Victoria Patron, Peter Hitchener. Whilst I do not know Jay personally, I just want to say well done. It’s not easy showing at the Royal Melbourne Show, to do it for the first time and win is just remarkable. I hope to see Jay attend more shows so I can see him myself! Additionally, it’s always a positive to have more boys involved in junior handlers too! Congratulations Jay, I hope you had a great time at the Royal Melbourne Show. Anyway, 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.
DANCES WITH DOGS
NEWS FROM DANCES WITH DOGS WR IT TE N BY: JAN ET TE WI LSON of positive training, be sure to come along and join in the fun of the day. Spectators are made very welcome. Huge thanks to our state committee and to everyone who went through the massive task of the DWD Rule Review. It’s not an easy task to get a consensus both within Victoria and then with the other states, before taking the recommendations to the ANKC. The new rules will be in place from 1 January 2019, and are posted on the ANKC website.
Thank you also to everyone who has had an input into the proposed trick dog competitions. Although there is more work required to see this new sport come to fruition, we are excited with the progress so far.
As we move rapidly towards the end of 2018, it’s great to reminisce about a wonderful year for dances with dogs. In 2018, 11 competitions were held over six days. Thanks to the Dances with Dogs Club Victoria, the Melbourne & District DWD Club, and the Dogs Victoria State Dances with Dogs Committee for running these competitions. We welcomed an unprecedented number of new competitors to the sport, and we are thrilled that some of our senior teams achieved their champion status. To become a champion in either freestyle or heelwork to music, you must first achieve the advanced title and then another seven advanced scores over 160/180 with at least three different routines. It’s a huge achievement. We are proud of the high standard of our competitors, and we know how hard it is to achieve the highest levels of our sport.
We will be ending our year with another competition in late November followed by a Dances with Dogs demonstration at the Big Day Out at KCC Park, so be sure to come along to watch and find out how to get involved.
Getting involved in Dances with Dogs: There are two affiliated clubs running lessons and competitions in Victoria. Dances with Dogs Club Victoria: Secretary 9782 1404. Melbourne and District Freestyle & HTM (DWD) Club: Secretary 0419 899 119. Happy dancing, everyone.
Our sport held its inaugural Dogs Victoria Dances with Dogs Top Dog competition this year, awarding top dog status in freestyle and also in heelwork to music. Already our experienced teams are working towards Top Dog 2019 to be held in July. For anyone who would like to see these exciting routines which culminate from many hours www.dogsvictoria.org.au

OBEDEINCE, TRACKING & ENDURANCE
OTEC NOTES WR IT TE N BY: DAWN HOWAR D The Royal Melbourne Show is always a highlight of the obedience trial calendar. This year was no exception. Even the weather co-operated, with the first bright sunny day for ages. Rebecca McGroarty’s beautiful Labrador Retreiver, provided the best entertainment for the day. After starting a great seek back, she left the ring, rushed straight behind the official marquee, and returned with her box of treats. Clever girl. After all she is a retriever. This dog later redeemed herself by winning the open class. The novice class was won by Tania Schumann and her German Shepherd (Long Coat) Ch Bronacre Murrumbidgee Murphy AZ BSC1 CCD RA. The run off for best in trial was won by Rebecca McGroarty and Adderslot Midnight Charmer CDX RE. Other great work was demonstrated, especially by the Croydon team and by Ross Carlson and TJ. Overall a very good look to the public. Once again the RAS show excelled, in being what must be the most organised obedience event that I have ever witnessed, anywhere. Congratulations to Heather Tilley and the RAS committee, who work tirelessly behind the scenes for months before and after the event. The German Shepherd Dog Club of Victoria also held a successful double trial in October. The weather was perfect, but unfortunately some of the dogs thought that, as it was a lovely spring day, they could relax and many of them did. Big news was that Annette Slavin and her Rottweiler Ch Ubersein Domination (AI) UD achieved the obedience champion title. Another very well organised trial. We are just about to start the Spring season of FOOs, and I look forward to catching up with the FOOs dogs and helpers in the lovely spring evenings. Thank goodness for daylight saving. There are several trials in the coming months, so lots of training happening out there. For those that train at KCC Park during the week there has been some crowded times, since the front lawn has been out of bounds due to the grass renovations. Good to see how good the cooperation has been in sharing the remaining space. Well done triallers. Happy training and trialling. 8

FROM THE VET
CLEFT PAL ATE WR IT TE N BY: D R M IC HAE L B E LL
What are cleft palates? Cleft palate defects can involve both the soft and hard palates. Hard palate clefts pretty much always occur in the midline and are normally associated with a soft palate cleft. Soft palate clefts can occur without hard palate clefts and are either located in the middle of the palate or to one side of midline. 12
Dogs Victoria | November 2018
The cause of the cleft is either hereditary or as a segued of intrauterine trauma or stress. Those occurring due to intrauterine insult occur at a very specific time of foetal development, that being between the 25 & 28 days of pregnancy. Intrauterine insults that can cause clefts include trauma, stress, administration of cortisone, nutritional, hormonal, viral and toxic factors.
FROM THE VET What signs are seen?
How are affected pups treated?
Cleft palates are normally visible as a defect in the palate (the roof of the mouth). This defect extends into the nasal cavity, because of this defect when the pup attempts to suckle there is a failure of the pup to create negative pressure when nursing, and milk drains from the nostrils during or after nursing. As a result of the milk reaching the nostrils affected pups will often cough, gag and sneeze and often will suffer from respiratory infections.
What aftercare is needed after surgery? Nerve blocks are sometimes used during after surgery to reduce local pain. Postoperative pain is also controlled with the use of antiinflammatories. Food should be withheld for a few hours after surgery and then soft food should be fed for the next two weeks. Management of pups with palate defects usually require nursing care by the owners which include tube feeding to avoid aspiration pneumonia. Ideally the palate defect needs to be surgically repaired. Most surgical correction occur between 3-4 months of age. If surgery is performed earlier than this there is a chance of wound backdown due to the tissue being fairly delicate and pliable, if surgery is done at five months the cleft may be too wide to successfully repair. The aim of surgical repair is to close the cleft between the oral and nasal passages without putting too much tension on the closing tissue and maintaining adequate blood supply to the area the surgical repair is normally achieved by harvesting a tissue flap from oral, pharyngeal or nasal muses (i.e. lining tissue) with the choice of tissue depending on the location, size and shape of the defect. This flap is then pulled over the wound and sutured. Owners should be warned that some of these wound closures may require multiple procedures to completely close the defect. An alternative to closing the defect with the use of a tissue flap is to use a temporary or permanent prosthesis made of metal alloy, elastomeric impressions material or synthesis.
