FROM THE PRESIDENT WAYNE FLEMING Happy New Year to all our members and I hope you have a happy, healthy and successful 2020!
Based on initial polling and survey results members have indicated customer service and visibility needs to improve and this is currently being addressed.
This year promises to be one of the most exciting and challenging years yet seen for Dogs Victoria and I cannot wait to see some of the new initiatives implemented.
We need to promote our brand and develop commercial opportunities which have not been explored. A number of revenue streams have been identified.
Over the last two months of 2019, the new Chief Executive and Management Committee spent nights working on a strategic plan and budget that will commence in 2020. Members, affiliates and staff were surveyed, not forgetting the regional forums held earlier in the year, to enable members to provide input into the plan. A record number of members responded to the surveys. For years now we have relied on members and affiliates to fund current member services as well as new initiatives, clearly we cannot continue this way. We need to retain and increase membership and increase revenue by other means. Our Chief Executive and Management Committee are working on a new business model centred around growth and ensuring Dogs Victoria has a strong and united voice on matters affecting our sport and membership. It is evident that we need to shift from an administrative focus to an organisation that supports and facilitates member services.
Dogs Victoria needs to become more influential, respected and visible to the general public and the government. All these areas will form the basis of the new strategic plan and each month members will be updated on its progress. It has come to our attention that there have been many concerns raised about the future of our Northern Exhibition Centre at Bulla. To alleviate any concerns I wish to confirm the following: • For a start Bulla has NOT been sold to the airport. It is not for sale now or in the foreseeable future. • The new North-South airport runway does not encroach onto the Bulla site, nor does its flight path. • Finally, the proposed Tullamarine Freeway extension does not run right through the Bulla site, it will if ever built run along an area closer to the airport. I hope this clarifies this issue.

CONFORMATION
CONFORMATION CORNER WR IT TE N BY: JASON MOOR E Hello and welcome to the first report for the Conformation Corner for 2020! 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. Conformation Corner Reflection Upon reflection, who can believe it’s already 2020? No doubt it will be 2021 before we know it! But, I just want to say, it has now been over five years since the first edition of Conformation Corner was published (early 2015). I must thank all my fellow members on the moral support you give me in writing this column, it is for you that I continue to do so. Over the time a lot of things have changed, and a lot of topics have been discussed, including the ‘Tail-gate’ fiasco of Crufts 2015, the risk and ongoing threats of the government’s breeding regulations (since 2016), the controversy of China hosting the World Dog Show in 2019. The list and topics goes on. Despite these issues and conflicts, we as a community endure and continue to push on. And whilst we will continue to face more issues and problems, we will get through it. We must stay resilient, and we must work together, we must do this because the benefits that the dog world offer us severely outshine the negative issues we face. New Year, New Beginnings With 2020 being a new year upon us, I wish everyone the best of luck with their dogs in the show ring, and hopefully you may try and have a new year’s resolution for the show ring. Whilst last year I wished everyone should try and make dog shows a positive and pleasant experience, I think in some ways this has improved – especially at dog shows themselves. Most of the time, I am seeing exhibitors congratulating each other and simply being polite and civil. Further to this, I do wish you all to have a great year with your dogs, this may be with new puppies that you’re training to become your new dogs to campaign, they could be dogs your trying to gain a new title with. Alternatively, you may have a breeding planned and hope to have a litter of healthy and sound puppies. No matter what it is, I wish you all the very best and hope your wishes come true. I know for me personally I have some young OES & 6
Dogs Victoria | January 2020
Gordon Setter youngsters that I’m still training but hope throughout 2020 they gain their championship title. Let’s see how we go and perhaps we can discuss in person at some shows! On a final note, I just want to help encourage and remind my fellow exhibitors of looking at things with a glass half full approach. We can change the dog world by our examples, instead of our opinions. Therefore before you criticise or pick out a problem of something, instead find a solution on how it could be fixed or improved. Anyhow, that’s all for this month, take care! Until next time, Jason Moore

JUNIORS
JUNIOR HANDLER STATE FINAL WR IT TE N BY: E LISE E DWAR DS Hi Juniors, Happy New Year! I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas. At the end of last year there were many exciting handler events. Starting with the Royal Melbourne Show, attracting many participants from around Australia due to its incredible prize, Victoria’s Kelsey Brown took top honours handling Wallis’ Weimaraner “Hank.” Paige Trotter won the middle age group and QLD’s Samantha Page won the youngest age group under International judge Mr Abbott (USA). Kelsey won herself a trip for 2 to one of the world’s biggest dog shows along with some spending money.
Handling competition. Hollie, handling the smart Jack Russell Terrier “Joe” competed against the best of the best, and won! Hollie, for the second time will represent Australia at Crufts in 2020. We are so proud of you Hollie. It was fantastic to see Victoria’s handlers consistently winning the prestigious events in 2019. Well done everyone and good luck this year.
The Melbourne Cup weekend is a highlight for November as it marks the date for Australia’s biggest one day dog show; Sunbury Canine Club. The Junior handler classes are some of the biggest for the year. The class winners were Louise Weekes, Chelsea Berlyn and Lucia Ackland, all of whom won under international judges. Lastly, our Victorian State representative Hollie Mann travelled to Hobart in October for the National Junior

OBEDIENCE, TRACKING & ENDURANCE
OTEC NOTES WR IT TE N BY: DAWN HOWAR D October is a very busy month, where all our winter training has a chance to be tried out. Bendigo ODC ran a very well organised Track and Search Trial with absolutely perfect weather, great atmosphere, good success rate and lots of titles. That was the last Tracking event for the year and its back to training now. Obedience is now the main focus - there have been Obedience trials every weekend, with good entries in the main. It is always great to see an Obedience Champion title gained. Those who have been there know how hard it is! It is hard enough to gain a pass in the UD class let alone that elusive 185-point score. At the GSDCV restricted to group 5 trial, Marta McKenzie and her beautiful Border Collie, Khayoz Heavens Star UD RN, gained that final pass with a score of 191 and High in Trial, congratulations to a hard-working team. Now onto UDX. The very active Dogs Victoria Instructors assessment team, Sue Collier and Sue Murray and their helpers, have been very busy. The written examination was well attended with over 50 candidates registering in four locations. This is an ongoing and very important program where clubs will be asked to provide venues and handler/dog teams for the practical assessments. The first two nights of the Spring session of FOOs were a great success. At our request the grass was cut, the weather was perfect, and the lights worked. What more can we ask for? FOO helpers cannot be thanked enough. The set-up crews turn up at 3pm, turn up as judges and stewards and pull down around 9pm, they certainly do a great job. We are very sad to lose Barry Cotton and Graeme Eades this season due to relocating. I put out a request for assistance and we were very thankful to include Eddy Howden on our team, plus some lovely new stewards for most of the sessions. Hopefully the next two sessions go as well. Also, during October, OTEC organised a Presidents and Secretaries Conference and a Judges Forum. Both very well attended and lots of ideas were exchanged. Important comments from the Presidents and Secretaries Conference concerned the issue of a busy calendar. It was decided to extend the agreement to allow two Tracking Trials on the same day, to Obedience and Rally provided they were 300 kms apart.

Dogs Victoria | January 2020
The Judges Forum discussed the issue of competitors being ready to come to the ring when called. The feeling of the meeting was that it is unfair to all when judges have to chase competitors to come to the ring. Being in another ring is the only acceptable excuse. It is important to advise the judge or steward that you are in multiple rings and that you attend the first ring that you are called for. Otherwise, you run the risk of being excluded from the class that you didn’t attend when called. Also Rally signs must be performed within the vicinity of the sign, as per the rules. The Judges voted to institute a closed Facebook page so that issues such as these can be discussed as they occur.
RETRIEVING AND FIELD TRIALS
R AFT NOTES WR IT TE N BY: DIANN E MC ANN Water work for retrievers Most gundogs love water and witnessing the sheer joy of your dog romping through the shallows, leaping from the bank or swimming flat out to complete a retrieve is one of life’s pleasures. A group of dogs playing in the water always reminds me of excited children who just cannot contain their exuberance. I firmly believe that it is very much worth the effort to introduce young dogs to the water and to teach older more reluctant dogs to overcome their apprehension due to the years of pleasure that they will then be able to experience. Now and for the next few months we will have perfect weather for introducing your dog to the water and building their confidence as the water will be warm, just pick a spot clear of grass and shrubs and keep your eye out for snakes. There are many methods of introducing a dog to the water, and I certainly do not have all of the answers, but maybe some of these tips may be useful. I am going to talk about puppies, but this information should be relevant regardless of the age of the dog. If your dog has had a bad experience with water or is timid in nature then it may just take a little longer.
increase the distance and the depth until they have to swim a stride or two to pick it up. 5. Throw food onto the water’s surface, kibble or bread or something that will float. Start so that that the puppy has to wade in a little bit and gradually increase the distance. 6. Put a kids wading pool in the backyard full of water and let the puppy get used to standing and sitting in it, or as mine do lying down in it. Good for these hot days. 7. If your dog has become cold after water work then always towel them off thoroughly and get them out of the cool wind. Allowing your dog to get cold and stay cold will not make them look forward to their next water outing. Good luck and enjoy the summer safely. Retrieving trials recommence on the Australia day long weekend conducted by the German Shorthaired Pointer club of Victoria. For information on all things field and retrieving please visit the RAFT Facebook page.
1. Don’t make a fuss about water, if you act as though water is just like land then your puppy more than likely will too. Find some shallow water that does not have a steep slope so that you can walk comfortably without slipping, take off your shoes and socks and walk in it with your puppy on lead or running free. Have some treats in your hand and give them when the puppy puts its feet in the water to walk with you. Never drag your pup into deeper water. 2. Find a narrow piece of water that is not too deep like a stream, creek or drain. Walk across to the other side and encourage your pup to come over to you, when he does praise and treat and have some fun. It is preferable to do this off lead if it is a safe area as the decision to enter the water and cross over should be the puppy’s alone. 3. Let the puppy experience other happy water dogs having fun in the water. Again this is preferable off lead in a safe place. Be wary of boisterous dogs that may knock the pup under or not let it exit the water. 4. Does your dog like retrieving? This is one of the best ways to get them swimming. Play with the pup and excite it, throw a favourite fetch toy a little way into the water and if the pup is doing well then gradually www.dogsvictoria.org.au

ROYAL CANIN KNOWLEDGE HUB
KEEPING YOUR DOG COOL IN SUMMER R E PUB LISH E D WITH PE R M ISSION FROM TH E ROYAL C AN IN KNOWLE DG E H UB Did you know dogs and cats can get sunburned? Or that short-nosed dog breeds have more trouble cooling down through panting? Or that shaving your dog’s fur coat may be more harmful than not? Summer heat and sunshine are serious issues for our dogs and cats, which depend on us to keep them protected.
No shaving: A dog’s coat insulates them from the heat, so shaving isn’t the best strategy. That being said, trimming a long-haired dog’s coat, particularly if it hangs around his legs, is acceptable. Vets suggest that owners should brush their dogs more often in the summertime as well, which can thin out the thick coat and get rid of hair that your pet is shedding.
For example, did you know dogs and cats can get sunburned? Or that short-nosed dog breeds have more trouble cooling down through panting? Or that shaving your dog’s coat may be more harmful than not? Here are a few tips to consider to keep your pet comfortable in the summer heat.
Avoid the heat: make sure not to exercise during the hottest parts of the day, and be vigilant about finding shade to rest when the time comes.
Sunburn: Animals need sun protection on their sensitive areas such as the tips of their ears, their noses and other areas exposed to sunlight. Pets with pink skin or light-colored coats can be vulnerable. Staffordshire Terriers, Boxers, Bull Terriers, German Shorthaired Pointers, and Chinese Crested are among the breeds prone to sunburn. Apply pet-friendly sunscreen—not zinc oxide-based treatments, which are toxic—about half an hour before exposure. Panting is cooling: It’s well known that dogs and cats don’t sweat. They eliminate heat through their respiration. Short-nosed dog such as Pugs and English Bulldogs tend to be more vulnerable to heat stroke. Panting can mean that it’s incredibly important for your dog to stay hydrated in warm weather. If your dog overheats, there are a number of indicators to be aware of. Heat stroke signs include excessive or exaggerated panting, lethargy, weakness, drooling, high fever, dark red gums, rapid heartbeat, unresponsiveness to surroundings and vomiting. Overheating cars: A Stanford University study showed that regardless of outside temperatures, the temperature inside a car can rise over 9 °F per hour. For this reason, you shouldn’t leave your pet in the car, even for a few minutes. Avoid hot surfaces: Hot sidewalks, beaches and other surfaces can severely injure your pet’s paw pads. You might be surprised how often vets diagnose this injury. The rule of thumb is simple: If the surface is too hot for you to handle barefoot, it’s too hot for your dog. 10

If you have any other concerns about caring for your dog during the hottest months, consult a vet who will be able to offer you expert help and advice best suited to your pet.

FROM THE VET
VAGINAL FOLD PROL APSE WR IT TE N BY: D R M IC HAE L B E LL What is this Condition? It is a fold of vaginal tissue that protrudes from the vulvar opening. This occurs under the influence of oestrogen where affected bitches develop an edematous (ie fluidly swelling) lower fold in the vaginal mucosa just forward to the rostral opening. What signs are seen? Typically there is swollen protruding tissue extending from the vaginal opening. This is due to fluidly swelling of the vaginal tissue. When does this condition occur? The prolapse of the vaginal tissue occurs almost exclusively when the bitch is under the influence of oestrogen. It can occur at the time of the first oestrus cycle or occur during later oestrus cycles. Once the condition has occurred it has the tendency to reoccur during subsequent cycles. How can affected cases be treated? The condition normally resolves on it own accord at the onset of diesters (ie. The period just after oestrus when the bitch no longer accepts the male for mating).
12
Dogs Victoria | January 2020
Desexing (full ovarhysterectomy) is the treatment of choice when the bitch is not going to be needed for breeding and provides a permanent resolution for the condition. Simple removal of the prolapsed tissue can be performed and can also permanently resolve the condition in some dogs. It should as be noted that artificial insemination can be performed on affected. Bitches with resolution being expected when diesters begins. It has occasionally been seen that the prolific of the vaginal fold fails to resolve after estrous or reoccurs at the end of pregnancy when the oestrogen levels rise slightly. It should be noted that the condition is thought not to be hereditary, although there is suspicion in some family lines and breeds that this may be a hereditary predisposition.
