FROM THE PRESIDENT WAYNE FLEMING Welcome to the September issue of the Dogs Victoria magazine, the month of the Royals! Throughout this year we have been in constant discussion with the Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria in order to make this year’s Royal Melbourne Show an even better experience for all exhibitors as well as making it an excellent opportunity for Dogs Victoria to showcase our wonderful dogs to the public.
On another matter, I need to request members involved in a complaint lodged with Dogs Victoria not to approach members of the Management Committee for information relating to cases being handled through the discipline process. Once cases are approved by Management Committee for referral to the discipline process, Management Committee’s involvement ceases, and any involvement after this could jeopardise the outcome of the case. I would therefore request members to refrain from ringing Management Committee members or approaching them at shows or other events.
At lunchtime the benching area will be closed each day for 30 minutes for dogs to rest, relax and have a break from the general public. Please make sure you make use of this time to make sure your dogs are comfortable, give them fresh water etc. Dogs Victoria has negotiated a new location for our stand which will be more prominent to the public with heaps of Dogs Victoria signage throughout the benching and show ring areas. We will also be showcasing certain breeds to the public each day in the main show ring, and we look forward to your support if required. Another big feature will be child handling sessions involving children visiting the show.

This year the overall final was judged by the two judges who came to the decision to award the senior winner Hollie Mann as the overall Junior Handler Champion. Hollie did an incredible job with both her dogs the Jack Russel Terrier and Standard Poodle. Runner-up was Paige Trotter who put in an amazing effort for one so young. Hollie will now represent Victoria for a second time at the Junior Handler State Final to be held at Hobart Royal this year. We all have our fingers crossed that Australia will be represented at Crufts by a Victorian for the third year in a row! Well done to Junior Kennel Club for putting on a very smooth and well-run event. Thank you to the sponsors that continually support the Junior Handers.

CONFORMATION
CONFORMATION CORNER WR IT TE N BY: JASON MOOR E Hello and welcome to the September edition of the Conformation Corner! September brings the tidings of spring, and hopefully we can see the back of those winter months. Although, whilst the weather has frozen most of us, I do hope you’ve enjoyed showing regardless. Royal Melbourne Show September is always a marquee month for conformation exhibitors, with the Royal Melbourne Show being held from Saturday 21st September to Saturday 28th September. With over 3,500 entries across 200 breeds, the Royal Melbourne Show is one of the largest and prestigious of its kind in the Country. With International judges, the Royal Show attracts many Victorians & Interstate visitors that exhibit. To win a Royal Melbourne Show blue ribbon is a very prestigious reward, and I wish everyone the best of luck, but above all enjoy your day out. This is a great opportunity where we bring the Conformation Show to the public, we all need to act as responsible ambassadors of the dog community and engage and educate the public accordingly. Ring Allocations at Bulla Recently, as we’re all aware that Dogs Victoria is looking at a 12 month trial a new ring allocation at Bulla. Whereby, a different group will be allocated the indoor ring, or alternatively all groups will be judged outdoors each week. I have seen several exhibitors comment on social media how they disagree with this new policy, but I have also seen an influx of exhibitors that are willing to give it a go. Whilst I prefer showing my dogs outdoors, I’ll be more than happy to have my dogs show inside their, and likewise it’s also good for the toy dogs to be shown outdoors. Despite the fact that this policy hasn’t even commenced yet, there has been an intense debate about it social media. However, I have been informed that Dogs Victoria has retracted this policy due to member feedback, which I find disappointing, as there were more members welcoming the idea than opposing it. Personally, instead of complaining or commenting, give it a chance and see how it goes, where it will be reviewed in 12 months. And if that doesn’t satisfy the interest of some exhibitors, then it’s quite simple – don’t enter those particular shows. No one is forcing you to do so! Criticising Judges and Top Winners on Social Media As I am writing this, I once again have sadly seen more 6
Dogs Victoria | September 2019
Facebook posts across various judging groups where exhibitors are criticising and complaining about the quality of Judges and their ability to judge ethically and with integrity. This also includes the notion that they only put up certain exhibitors AKA ‘faces’. I know I cannot put a stop to this as I am only one person; however I just want to remind all exhibitors of the following. Before you make a comment or jump on board the discussion can you ask yourself a few things? Have you ever considered why the same people go up week in and week out? Have you ever considered how long these people have exhibited dogs in their chosen breed? Have you considered the hours that these people have put in learning about their chosen breed, learning how to groom, handle and present these dogs to perfection? A lot of the time, these people have spent a lot of time training their dogs, looking over the world at their breed. They don’t worry about a ribbon; their main focus is looking at a dog for breeding stock so that they can improve their lines. These people all started off in the dog world like the rest of us. It’s much easier to criticise than to learn about how these “faces” became successful. These people who you determine to be faces had to start somewhere too, and I can guarantee you that if you were to hear their stories you may be surprised! A lot of the time these “faces” that you refer to are well respected in their chosen breed and yet some of these people the newer and even less successful exhibitors refuse to even use their dogs. And whilst I’m fortunate of the success I’ve had with my Old English Sheepdogs, I have my parents and grandmother to thank who started off this in breed 48 years ago. It has taken them a long time to get there with a lot of setbacks and challenges along the way (it took my father 6 years of exhibiting to even win his first CC). And I am now experiencing this journey with my own breeds. Alternatively, I also see exhibitors comment on the judge’s ability to judge with ethics and integrity. If you don’t like what the judges are doing then either make an effort to help train these judges or become one yourself. That’s a big reason I became a judge, knowing when I step out into that ring I do the best and honest job that I can do.
CONFORMATION CORNER At the end of the day, the only person it reflects badly on is the one doing this criticising on social media. So get off the keyboard and become more involved with the dog world, who knows, your contribution may help you become more successful. Your fellow exhibitor Lastly, I just want to remind exhibitors that we all come out to have a nice day with our friends and beloved dogs. And that everyone needs to be courteous of others around them. Recently I’ve seen exhibitors in the ring that are too focused on themselves and not respecting others around them. This includes exhibitors not making spaces in a line, standing your dog out in
line to obscure the judge’s view of another dog, running up or cutting the corner of the exhibitor running in front of you, standing you or dog too close to another in a ring. You wouldn’t want that done to you so don’t do it another, be aware of your surroundings and treat your fellow exhibitors with respect. We all want to come and enjoy our day and not ruined by each other. 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.
OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTION Joining Robert Harper his immediate manager was Cam Milward, a councillor and life member of the then KCC. Max was convinced it was Cam who saw him given then responsibility of setting up a new division following the company being bought out by Ralston Purina (Dog Chow). The company sponsored the sweepstakes held each evening during the Royal as in those days exhibitors were not permitted to leave the showgrounds until 9pm and breed judging would conclude around 5pm. Already a member of Sunshine Kennel Club he became Secretary for many years before becoming Treasurer in 1991, a position he still holds today, along with life membership. He convinced the president Bob Mashford to join Robert Harper and with his help secured the services of Don Watkins, Guy Spagnolo and Lyn Schelling (Watson). This formidable team became redundant following the parent company selling up in Australia due to the world wide stock market crash. OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTION AWARD Max Morris Max arrived in Australia in 1954 following his father’s appointment on loan to the Royal Australian Navy before completing his education at Melbourne Grammar School. Embarking on a career in Sales & Marketing he secured an appointment with Union Carbide, a company he spent ten years with, the highlight being the launch of Glad Wrap in Australia. www.dogsvictoria.org.au
A foundation member of Lyndhurst Canine Country Club he has been treasurer for 29 years and is a life member of the club. He was also treasurer of Dandenong Poultry and Kennel Club for 10 years, a member of the Dog Stewards Association for over 40 years and he was awarded life membership in 2016. Currently he al serves on Conformation (8 years), Classic Committee (30 years), a Royal Steward (31 years) and Town & Country (6 years). Dogs Victoria would like to congratulate Max Morris on receiving the Outstanding Contribution Award! Dogs Victoria | September 2019

OBEDIENCE, TRACKING & ENDURANCE
OTEC NOTES WR IT TE N BY: DAWN HOWAR D The Tracking Club of Victoria held a Tracking trial at Inverleigh at the beginning of July. The weather was mostly good, and the club coped well with an entry of nearly 100 dogs. Winter is tracking season and the weather has been wonderful this year, until Gippsland where it was a bit ordinary. Set up crews faced weather issues of frost and rain. Saturday and Sunday were difficult, and Monday was better. The dogs didn’t mind, easier to track in the wet they thought. At both these trials the pass rate was excellent.
One of the most important tasks that the OTEC has had to address recently is updating the Dogs Victoria Instructors Assessment Scheme. The original Instructors Scheme, developed some years ago, has had to be updated due to Victorian Government requirements. There are two levels of accreditation; Dogs Victoria Instructor Certificate and Dogs Victoria Master Instructor Certificate. There will be lectures, workshops and assessments which will be advertised over the next few months - look out for them! Currently the members of the Assessment panel are: Sue Collier and Sue Murray (co-ordinators), Lea Cogley, Lorna Piper, Rob Butler and Greg Bobbin. The GSDCV Endurance Test was held at a new venue for 2019. Previously held in Altona at Cherry Lake for many years, then in Sale in 2018, the decision was made to bring the test back closer to Melbourne and with a later start time set to avoid the need for competitors finding accommodation. Churchill’s Mathison Park was selected as the venue and the organisers even provided a video on the Endurance Facebook page (before entry closing date) so that competitors could get a view of the course - great idea! The Test had 16 dogs complete the test under the watchful eye of Judge Dawn Ayton. The weather was perfect for such an event along with a very scenic location. Well done to all involved.

Dogs Victoria | September 2019
On the same weekend as Gippsland’s Tracking Trial, the GSDCV Open Obedience and Rally Trial was held in what could only be described as typical Melbourne winter weather. While there was a good entry for both the morning and afternoon competitions, weather conditions on the day caused more than one competitor to decide that home in front of a fire was the place to stay. Yes, there were several long-lasting showers, even some hail, but everything was packed up in sunshine! Go figure Melbourne weather. But in between the rain showers the conditions for dog trialling were great and the Exhibition Area 2 was good underfoot. The same couldn’t be said for the footpath out to the car park which was under water! Several titles were achieved on the day so well done to those competitors. The Rally judges had created some interesting new courses for their competitors to navigate and they were enjoyed by all. Sad news during the month was that Jean Holbrook has passed after a long illness. She used to be an Obedience and Tracking judge and was a member of the OTEC some years ago. Victoria’s submission for the ANKC Rule changes for Obedience and Rally Obedience has been prepared by Lynn Klecka and is on the Noticeboard of the Dogs Victoria website. Happy training and trialling.

FROM THE VET
GASTRIC DILATATION AND TORSION (VOLVULUS) WR IT TE N BY: D R M IC HAE L B E LL
What is this condition? Gastric dilatation is characterised by a large distension of the stomach with air. In the case of torsion, the dilated stomach twists about its axis. Both dilatation and torsion cause abstraction to the caudal vena valve and hence impede return of blood to the heart, hence leading to shock. When the stomach dilatates or twists there is also compression to the circulation to the stomach wall resulting in debilitation of the stomach wall. What causes dilatation and torsion of the stomach? Large breed and deep chested dogs are more likely to be affected such as Great Dane, Irish Setter and Wolfhounds, but no single cause has been identified. However, in the large and giant breeds there are several factors that are significantly associated with an increased risk of the dilatation or torsion, these include: 1. having a first degree relative that has sustained a gastric dilatation or torsion in the past 2. fast eating 3. once daily feeding 4. increasing age 5. swallowing of excessive air 6. the dog’s personality What we do know is that the swallowing of excessive air, and the inability to evacuate this air from the mouth, 10
Dogs Victoria | September 2019
or to empty it into the intestine leads to dilatation of the stomach. From here the relationship between this stomach dilatation and twisting is unknown. What signs do affected dogs show? Affected dogs often have a distended abdomen (due to the dilatated stomach), show nonproductive retching and salivation and are weak or collapse. If these signs are seen in a large breed or a deep chested dog the suspicion is increased. When examined in a veterinary clinic we usually detect a dilated gas filled stomach, which is confirmed on x-ray, a high heart rate and pale gum colour and hypothermia (collapse due to the compromised contractions). What are the dog’s chances of survival? Approximately 15 percent of dogs with dilatation / torsion of the stomach do not survive. Dogs that have a partially dead stomach lining (which can be predicted by measuring the blood heart rate level and having a reading above six normal fl.) have a lower survival rate than those with an uncompromised stomach lining. Can gastric dilatation /torsion be prevented? Surgically attaching the stomach to the abdominal wall with the aim of preventing the stomach rotating has been known to reduce the chances of the stomach twisting. This is a procedure that can be considered in large breed deep chested dogs like the Weimaraner, Great Dane and Irish Setter.

Noel Butler
14/7/1924 - 18/06/2019 It is with great sadness we advise the passing of Noel Butler. After the end of the Second World War where he served as a fighter pilot with the RAAF, Noel bred and showed English Setters and Great Danes and handled Dobermanns for Bebe Forest of Koning Kennels fame. Noel became involved in stewarding which naturally led to judging and he became the youngest All Breeds Judge at that time. He was appointed a Life Member of the KCC in 1970. His greatest love was the Melbourne Dog Club where he served as President for many years. His idea was to offer a show with a difference and that, with the help of his forward-thinking committee, was certainly achieved.

judging of General Specials on a Monday evening with the Breed and Group judging held on the Saturday at the Olympic Park Greyhound Racing Track and many other similar events. He was the first Life Member appointed by the Melbourne Dog Club Committee and received this award from Sir Henry Winneke, Governor of Victoria in 1975. Noel was transferred to Sydney by TNT where he continued his interest in judging with appointments overseas, and at both Melbourne Royal and Canberra Royal Shows. On retiring in 1989, he and Desleigh moved to the Gold Coast where he decided to have a change of interest. He retired from judging ten years later, acquired a standard Poodle named Rhett Butler, and took up competitive ten pin bowling, then golf and finally lawn bowls. During that time, Noel travelled extensively overseas discovering new places and new interests. He is survived by his wife, Desleigh, four children, six grandchildren and six great grandchildren. RIP.
