CONFORMATION
CONFORMATION CORNER WR IT TE N BY: JASON MOOR E Hello and welcome to the first report for the Conformation Corner for 2019! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! I hope you were able to take some time off during the Christmas/New Year Period, spending it with friends and family. Whether this was at home, or away travelling, or even spent at one of the many shows held over that period. With 2019 being a new year upon, I wish everyone to have a happy and prosperous new year, and with that try and find a new year’s resolution for themselves. This could be dog or non-dog related, as long as you’re trying to achieve something positive is the main thing. My resolution is to try and finish my garden at my new house (I just need to find the time!). However, I think universally everyone should try and make dog shows a positive and pleasant experience. I still sadly see exhibitors be rude to each other (either in person or on social media), and be bad sports. I also still continue to see several exhibitors refuse to take their dog back in the ring because they didn’t win first place, a challenge, or even a best in group! Everyone notices this behaviour and it just spoils the day for everyone. If we can all try and make dog shows that slightly more positive – who knows we may be able to grow our hobby. Once again Dogs Victoria hosted the Dog’s Big Day Out on Sunday 9 December 2018, where all facets of Dogs Victoria are put on display for the public. This includes herding, obedience, agility and conformation. It’s a great day of educating and entertaining the public on how much fun we have in the dog world. As always it was a resounding success and it’s great to see more and more breed clubs holding their open shows on this day each year. It’s a great way of showcasing your breed to the public. I strongly encourage any member of Dogs Victoria to attend it in 2020. It was also excellent to see a new fundraising initiative organised by Dogs Victoria – a sausage sizzle stand at all breeds shows at KCC Park. With all proceeds raised going to the facilities of our great grounds. I saw this first done at the Summer Spectacular shows where I believe they raised over $1,400 across the weekend! I congratulate everyone involved and hopefully this will be a great fundraising tool that can be used by not 6
Dogs Victoria | January 2019
just Dogs Victoria, but also to dog clubs that may be struggling financially. Additionally, please take care of your dogs during these summer months as we must prepare for excessive heat waves and bush fire dangers. I don’t need to tell everyone what to do as we are all responsible dog owners. On a final note, I want to say thank you to those who read this column, you continue to approach me at shows and provide positive feedback. If you keep reading and enjoying this, then I will keep it writing it! Until next time.
OBEDEINCE, TRACKING & ENDURANCE
OTEC NOTES WR IT TE N BY: DAWN HOWAR D Happy New Year to all our triallers and friends. News from the end of 2018 includes that the spring season of Friends of Obedience (FOOs) went very smoothly despite some interesting weather patterns. One night there was a thunderstorm warning, sky black, looked ominous. The great and trusty set up crew, had the rings up and some helper’s dogs had gone through the ring, when the storm hit. Tables blown away. Chaos. Everyone was asked to come inside and wait it out. Didn’t take long. Thankfully, Sharon Sempel was able to lend us the Hound Club spot in the pavilion. Michael Hayes and Libby Hotchin set up for rally in there. Great courses, really enjoyed them. Then, once the front went through, business as usual. Ended up a great night for training. Guess that is Melbourne in spring. A huge thank you to all the FOOs helpers who work so hard to make this training opportunity possible. Then at the end of the Spring season the OTEC/FOOs trial occurred. Once again, ground crews excelled themselves. Everything looked great. Lots of passes. Heaps of titles. Well done to the many success stories. Among them were a fabulous round by Ann Mann and Rhythm. Beautiful to watch. Among the regular helpers, Marta McKenzie gained her hard-earned UD title, David Hutson and Thor gained the novice title and Lisa Sinclair and Coffee Creme got 98 in master. Great night. Thank you everyone. That is what FOOs is about. Helping each other. Early in November we look forward to the trials in Gippsland. This year due to some internal issues, the Bairnsdale trial was at one stage cancelled. Eventually, the Bairnsdale and District Obedience Dog Club trial was able to go ahead after a lot of negotiation between the old and new committee and the OTEC chair. Congratulations to all parties involved in getting the trials up and running. The trials went ahead and were an outstanding success. It was great to see the cooperation between the local clubs as well. The red T-shirts worn by the Sale crew were very visible around the rings. Even the weather was perfect. Rings were finished in good time, with no issues. Couldn’t find a fault. Lots of happy campers and the food was delicious. Also, there was some beautiful work from lovely dogs. Great to see. Height cards It has been brought to our attention that height cards 8
Dogs Victoria | January 2019
are used in some other states. At this stage Victoria has no intention of introducing them. If Victorians wish to enter trials in NSW, that state has agreed to make provision to measure their dogs at the trial. Other states have indicated that interstate competitors are not required to provide them. OTEC Extreme Weather Policy Has been accepted and adopted. The revised document has been sent to judges and affiliates and will be placed on the Dogs Victoria website. These changes are effective from October 2018. Tracking and Track and Search Rules Changes During December, meetings were held by OTEC, to inform judges and other interested people about the changes brought about by the rules review. One of the major changes is the separation between the two forms of tracking. Tracking will no longer be a prerequisite for track and search. These rules are available on the ANKC website. During the year, the Tracking Club of Victoria held two tracking theory workshops for its members, facilitated by Sonja Needs. They were very well attended and very professional and informative. Sonja emphasised her view that the more advanced tests for track and search will involve greater challenges, especially on the higherlevel tests. Happy training and trialling.
JUNIORS
NEWS AND VIEW OF JUNIORS WR IT TE N BY: E LISE E DWAR DS by Louise Weekes. Due to the amazing sponsors of this event Louise was awarded a travel voucher that will allow her to visit a prestigious dog show overseas such as Crufts, Westminster or the World Dog Show. In November the junior handlers braved the worst showing conditions I have ever seen at Sunbury. The senior section was won by Hollie Mann, the 10-u13 class was won by Cassidy Lee-Hartford and the 7-u10 class was won by Samantha Page. The Victorian junior handlers have had a busy couple of months. Firstly, I would like to congratulate Dee Hamilton on winning the Junior Handler National held in South Australia. Dee handled the Victorian Australian Shepherd ‘Jack’ and this win will take her to Crufts to represent Australia. We also had an exciting week in September for the Royal Melbourne Show competition which was won overall

In December Kelsey Brown won best junior handler overall at the Royal Canin Summer Spectacular judged Leanne Bateman (Canada). It is great to see so many handlers sharing these “big wins” and proving to be very competitive against the interstate handlers. Well done girls.

VALE NOTICE
VALE NOTES Janet (Jan) Hatton 6/10/1943 – 9/10/2018
There have been many championship titles gained by the Airedale Terriers bred under the Bushveldt prefix. Airedales either owned or bred by Jan and Peter have won many of the trophies offered by the Airedale Terrier Club of Victoria over the years, most more than once. Jan was always very proud of the fact that many of the pups they sold were successfully exhibited by their owners and some became foundation stock for successful breeders. However, Jan was not one to rest on her laurels and was always on the lookout for new lines to compliment their breeding program and hence several of their dogs were either imported from overseas or bought from local breeders.
Over the years and on behalf of the Airedale Terrier Club of Victoria, Jan and Peter hosted and entertained many Airedale Terrier enthusiasts from around the world. Jan loved this opportunity to talk about Airedales from different countries, exchange ideas and learn from people with many years of experience in the breed. While always ready to learn Jan was also willing to share her knowledge with fellow enthusiasts of the breed. Jan was a staunch supporter of the Airedale Terrier Club of Victoria and had served in various positions on the committee since she joined the club and as recently as last year, she also served on Sporting Terrier Club of Victoria committee for a time. Jan was delighted and greatly honoured when she was made an Honorary Life Member of the Airedale Terrier Club of Victoria in 2000. It was an honour neither given nor accepted lightly.
Jan was passionate about Airedale Terriers and her involvement with the breed began in 1969 when she and her husband Peter bought their first puppy, Rangeaire Rani. They soon joined the Airedale Terrier Club of Victoria and the KCC (as it was then) and Rani became their first show dog and first champion. This was the start of a great interest in showing and breeding Airedale Terriers, an interest in which Jan was still actively involved. 10
Dogs Victoria | January 2019
Jan fought many health battles over the years, and increasingly so in recent years, but like a true Airedale Terrier she never gave up and seemed to be able to defeat seemingly impossible odds to bounce back. However, this last battle was too much for her! RIP Jan, you will be sadly missed. Sue Henderson

Nina Bieberitz 22/12/1930 - 9/11/2018
She also owned one of the first Rhodesian Ridgebacks to come into this country and was successful in promoting the breed. Nina also owned Whippets, Cocker Spaniels, Japanese Spitz, and her first love – Pekingese. Moving into the judging ring – starting with her hound licence, then progressing through to all breeds status, Nina travelled extensively as a judge – throughout Australia and internationally. She also served on several dog clubs, including Yarra Valley Kennel Club and the Ladies’ Kennel Association. After living for many years in Ringwood, she moved to Carrum Downs, but in her mid eighties, made the brave decision to move to Kingaroy in Queensland. Passionate about her dogs, and not backward in voicing an opinion, Nina was also generous with her time and expertise. There are many in the dog world who will remember Nina with gratitude for her help through their journey with dogs and dog shows. RIP Nina Bieberitz!
On 9 November 2018, one of the personalities of the dog world left us. Born Anna May Forbes, she was called Nina by her big sister, and this name stuck. The youngest of six children, whose mother died at an early age, Nina grew up in difficult times, living in the Kew area. The family had a beach shack (not holiday house) in Sorrento, so living in that area, they consumed a lot of seafood, and Nina never lost the taste for lobster! She loved horses and would often bypass school to spend time riding the milk cart horses! Nina met and married Gerry Bieberitz and they had three children - Ann, Karin and Stephen. Her love of animals led to ownership and operation of various pet shops in Ringwood, Mitcham and Dandenong, and she also groomed dogs for many years. Her first dogs were Foxhounds, and then Beagles - which led her into the world of dog showing and breeding. www.dogsvictoria.org.au

FROM THE VET
STENOTIC NARCS WR IT TE N BY: D R M IC HAE L B E LL What are stenotic nares? Stenotic nares are part of the brachycephalic syndrome of short nosed dogs. The term stenotic nares refer to pinching or narrowing of the nostrils resulting in difficulty of breathing and snorting or snoring noises. The most effected breeds appear to be British Bulldogs, Pugs, Boston Terriers, Cavaliers and Pekingese. What does it cause? Dogs with stenotic nares have obliteration of the nerves due to deviation of the nasal cartilage and associated maceral and outer lining (i.e. deviation of the wing of the nostril). This results in significant obstructions of the upper airway and is thought to process lining about other components of the brachycephalic syndrome. Because of the obstruction of the stenotic nostrils a significant negative pressure needs to be treated in the larynx and lower airways to overcome the obstruction and allow enough air to reach the lungs for ventilation. This significant negative pressure in the lower airways results in stress on the laryngeal and tracheal linings and cartilage. This in turn quickly results in redraw of those tissues, collapse of the laryngeal cartilages and hence further airflow obstruction. In addition to deviation of the “wings” of the nostril intranasal contrition or obstructed airways from abnormal nasal colitis development may also play a role in airway obstruction associated with brachycephalic syndrome. How are they diagnosed? They can be diagnosed by scanning the nares, in particular the opening. Also assessing the breathing and the response of the nostrils to inhalation to assist in the diagnosis. What signs do affected dogs show? Normally dogs with stenotic nares show signs of difficulty breathing when stressed or excited. They will also often show some or all of the following: •
Gagging
•
Noisy Breathing
•
Panting
•
Vomiting
•
Exercise and heat intolerance
•
Mouth breathing
12
Dogs Victoria | January 2019
How are affected dogs treated? It is normally considered best to surgically operate on young affected dogs because otherwise other malformations of the respiratory tract can develop as outlined above. They are best corrected by surgically removing the part of the “wing” of the nostril that is obstructing the overall nostril opening. By doing this breathing is normally made easier.

FEE DING YOUR DOG FOR LIFE DIA N E M ORGA N
Canine nutrition is a very controversial topic! One thing we can all agree on, is that proper nutrition is very important if you want a long lived happy dog. This book begins with the dog’s digestive system, discusses food basics, the pet food industry and then goes into “Good Home Cooking”. The home cooking chapter covers recipes, raw food, vegetarian diets, supplementation and raw meat sources. The next six chapters are on feeding specific ages/conditions in dogs. The last section suggests diets to aid specific health problems. Well worth a read.

MELBOURNE FOR DOGS J U LI E M U N DY
This book is an excellent, well-researched guide to Melbourne’s dog-friendly parks, beaches and walking trails – a great resource for people looking for a variety of places to walk and exercise their dogs. The chapters in Melbourne for Dogs are divided into the city’s five metropolitan regions plus it includes the Mornington Peninsula and a listing of parks and reserves located in regional Victoria too – then within each chapter, Julie Mundy has further divided her book into local council areas for the reader to quickly and easily look up details of the various parks and beaches. Each of the parks and beaches information is listed in tables according to suburb – in particular, beaches are highlighted in yellow and also you will find some parks that are highlighted in green for which there is more in-depth detail about those parks on the pages following the table listing. The details of the walking trails located in Melbourne’s suburbs as well as other parts of Victoria are in the last chapter for which the book provides maps, walking route directions as well as “at a glance” quick reference tables showing the grade of the walk from easy through to medium as well as distance and how much time it takes to walk the particular trail. Melbourne for Dogs is now available for borrowing from the Dogs Victoria library and we take this opportunity to thank the publisher, Woodslane Press for their kind donation of this book to our collection.

POINTING THE BONE AT C ANCER IN DOGS C ATS AN D HUMANS DR IA N B I LLI N G H U RST
A history into Molecular Biology, this book goes into extensive history and explanations of all aspects of cancer in humans and companion animals. It elaborates on all the terminology use by veterinarians and oncologists. A ‘must read’ for anyone who is, or has been affected by cancer, either in their dogs/cats or humans. Every word that you may come across with this disease is explained in detail and simplified into a language for anyone to understand. Genetic codes are unravelled and clarified in full. The entire history of cancer is expanded. Factual – Cancer is a metabolic disease where the mitochondrial energy production is fundamentally altered or compromised. There is only one disease to attack, not hundreds. Environmental and nutritional habits are the root causes of the disease. Part Six – Two modern Pandemics and the modern Veterinary machine on nutrition make very interesting reading. TNT – Targeted Nutritional Therapy for both humans, dog and cats produces a compelling result for the eradication of cancer. Sugar is the villain. Cancer cells feed on sugar. TNT targets the species (human or companion animal) with the nutritional requirements that the species’ evolved to eat naturally. Our western diets are the problem for all groups. Towards the end of the book Dr Billinghurst explains how a Ketogenic diet works on all cancers and other diseases. He breaks down the reasons why vegetables, seaweed, fruits, natural fats will starve the cancer cells. Dr Billinghurst kindly donated this MUST READ book to our library and is now available for loan.
