Ah the Internet. Friend or Foe?

will be the first to admit the internet has done a lot to dogs. Notice I didn’t say for dogs.... The internet has certainly made the world a smaller place and connects us almost in an instant to people and places far away. Those connections have impacted breeders around the world and perhaps has improved our breed. As people in far away places view prospective stud dogs and puppies they hope to own, gene pools and families of dogs are now more readily available to virtually every-
one. This can be a good thing for breed type, health, etc. but what about the written history of our breed? Doesn’t anyone think about the written history, the documentation of our breed through time?

I had a very scary conversation with one of my peers the other day regarding breed books, magazines, club publications and good old fashion pedigree reading. We both agreed most of todays exhibitors probably
Our conversation came up because I am in the process of simplifying my life and am cleaning out the basement. It is a chore that will take many months to complete. I was amazed at the number of breed books,

structure books, training books and on and on that I have stored in the basement. I have books about breeds I never owned. I was sadden to realize that a great publisher of most of those books is long gone. I know things change and time marches on and all of that.... But do we realize what we are loosing? We are loosing history. Written documentation of our breed through the ages. Who will know the great winners of our day? Or will we be lost becaused no one cared enough to write it down. To immortalize it in photos and the printed word?
July/August/September, 2013
Are our breed books and magazines really being squeezed out due to the instant gratification of the internet. You went Winners Dog on Sunday and you snapped a photo with your phone (not so glamorous I might add) of your dog with his ribbons and posted it on Facebook? Is that how you want the world to remember your dog, your breeding, your breed? And will they remember? Will the page be available tomorrow or will it be lost in cyberland? I look at those books and I tenderly turn the pages and
look at the history they hold. The dogs that came before us. The dogs we trace our lineage, our history, our families back to... the golden years of dogs. What has the cyber world done to us and I wonder am I the only one that feels this way?

HistoryOfJuniorShowmanship
P
art of the mission of the American Kennel Club is to “Take whatever actions necessary to protect and assure the continuation of the sport of purebred dogs.” The AKC’s Junior Showmanship Program is just one example of the kennel club’s commitment to fulfilling this portion of its charter statement. In the late 1920s a group of dog show exhibitors led by Mr. Leonard Brumby, Sr., decided to develop a special competition for children. The purpose of the competition would be to introduce a new generation of fanciers to the sport and to give children the opportunity to measure their skills against those of their peers. The children would be judged by how well they presented their dogs with respect to the nuances of the breed being shown. The first Children’s Handling class was held at the Westbury Kennel Association show of 1932, and quickly became a popular feature at other AKC events. In 1949 the Professional Handlers Association donated a trophy in honor and memory of Mr. Brumby to the winner of the Children’s Handling Classes at the Westminster Kennel Club show. This trophy is still awarded to the winner of the Junior Handler competition at Westminster and is the most sought-after prize in the sport. Children’s Handling classes were very informal when the program began. The judging of the classes would normally 6
start whenever the first breed ring became available. The judges were usually professional handlers themselves, and the participants were allowed to use any dog that was available to them. In 1951 the name of the competition was changed from Children’s Handling to Junior Showmanship. Twenty years later, in 1971, the American Kennel Club recognized the virtues of Junior Handler competition and granted official recognition for these classes at AKC events. The Junior Showmanship program has grown and changed in dramatic fashion since its humble beginnings in 1932. The AKC now has guidelines for participation and adjudication of this event. For example, juniors must be between 10 and 18 years of age to participate. They must win three first placements in the Novice class before advancing to the Open class. Judges must be approved by the AKC to judge Junior classes, and the dogs that the junior handlers exhibit must be owned by them, a member of their family, or a relative. In 1999 the Junior Showmanship program was expanded to include performance events. Currently, a Junior Handler that handles a dog to a performance title will receive a certficate from the AKC acknowledging this accomplishment. The American Kennel Club
From the AKC
also awards Scholarships to deserving Junior Handlers to encourage them to continue on with their education. The AKC awarded 38 Junior Handler Scholarships in 2002. The Board of the American Kennel Club has just increased the Junior Scholarship Fund from $60,000 to $100,000. This can truly be seen as affirmation of the AKC’s commitment to the youth of our sport. Junior handlers become ineligible to compete in Junior Showmanship classes at the age of 18. In most cases, their participation in the sport of purebred dog does not cease once they have “aged out” of competition. From the ranks of Junior Handlers we find the future breeders, AKC Club Members, approved judges and Registered Handlers who will be the caretakers of our sport in the future. We see many of these kids go on to pursue careers as veterinarians. One former Junior is now the CEO of the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals; others have gone on to serve as Board Members of the American Kennel Club. Still others have gone onto make their contribution to the sport as AKC employees. While the Junior Showmanship program itself has gone through changes, the concept and reasons for its implementation have remained the same: to encourage participation in the sport by young purebred dog enthusiasts; to teach good sportsmanship, win or lose; and to educate the next gen continued on page 8 PUG TALK - The Stud/Black/Performance Issue

T
he American Kennel Club licenses dogs shows (competitive exhibitions in which dogs are judged in accordance with an established standard of perfection for each breed) that test and evaluate the form and function of purebred dogs. In addition, at some shows the AKC offers classes which evaluate the abilities of the participant on the other end of the lead, the young handler. AKC Junior Showmanship classes offer youngsters the opportunity to: 1. Develop their handling skills 2. Learn about good sportsmanship 3. Learn about dogs and dog shows. Join the world of AKC Junior Showmanship! Juniors are important to the future of the sport of dogs and responsible dog ownership, and the more they learn, the more valuable they become. The values, attitudes and responsibility learned through Junior Showmanship will serve youngsters well throughout their lives. By putting time and effort into learning about their dog and how to present it,
juniors are rewarded with a win.
ments according to their records.
Who may participate All participants in Junior Showmanship classes must have an AKC Junior Showmanship Handler Number. The three regular classes are as follows:
(C) Master. This class will be for boys and girls who are at least 9 years old and under 18 years on the day of the show, and who have won the 10 first place wins in an Open class with competition to be eligible to enter the Limited Class Competition. The calendar for this class will be consistent with the eligibility dates for the AKC Eukanuba National Championship. All Juniors meeting the criteria for this class are required to enter the Master Class and may change their entry the day of the show if entries have already closed. Once the eligibility time frame for that year has passed all participants return to the Open Class to complete for the following year.
(A) Novice. This shall be for boys and girls who are at least 9 years old and under 18 years old on the day of the show and who at the time entries close have not won three (3) first place awards, with competition present, in a Novice Class at a licensed or member show. (B) Open. This class shall be for boys and girls who are at least 9 years old and under 18 years old on the day of the show, and who have won three first place awards in a Novice Class in a licensed or member show, with competition present in the Novice class. Juniors which according to their records have completed the requirements to compete in the Open class but whose status is unconfirmed by the American Kennel Club are limited to competing in the Open Class for a period of 90 days from the date of the show where the Junior completed the require-

the AKC’s commitment to its mission statement and the future of our sport.
Junior Handlers who win a third Novice Class with competition present after the closing of entries for a show may transfer their entry from the Novice Class to the Open Class provided that this transfer is made by the Superintendent of Show Secretary at least onehalf hour prior to the scheduled start of Junior Showmanship judging at the show. No entry may be changed or cancelled unless notice of the change or cancellation is received in writing by the Superintendent or Show Secretary named in the premium list to receive entries, prior to the closing date and hour for entries, except that a correction may be made from one age PUG TALK - The Stud/Black/Performance Issue
division to another provided this transfer is made by the Superintendent or Show Secretary at least one half-hour prior to the scheduled start of any Junior Showmanship class at the show. (D) Junior, Intermediate and Senior Classes. Each of the three regular classes may be divided by age into Junior, Intermediate and Senior Classes, provided the division is specified in the premium list. A Junior Class shall be for boys and girls who are at least 9 years old and under 12 years old on the day of the show. The Intermediate Class shall be for boys and girls who are at least 12 years old and under 15 years old on the day of the show. The Senior Class shall be for boys and girls who are at least 15 years old and under 18 years old on the day of the show.
to develop their handling abilities, dress appropriately, conduct themselves in a proper manner, and present their dog in a well-groomed condition. What about the dog? Any dog entered must be eligible to compete in dog shows or obedience trials. The dog must be owned by the child, a member of the child’s family or member of his household. Many times junior showmanship classes are free (if the dog is entered in regular classes) or are offered at the reduced rate. How to get started The best way for prospective junior handlers to see what is involved in junior handling is to watch the Junior Showmanship classes at a dog show. They will see how children take part at all levels of competition,
how they have developed friendships and have learned to compete and accept their wins and losses in a gracious manner. Talk to these young participants in our sport. You will be impressed by their knowledge, attitudes and their willingness to share their experiences with someone new to the sport. Another way to learn the basics is at your local dog club. Many clubs offer weekly handling classes. These informal sessions are conducted in a relaxed atmosphere and afford both dog and handler an opportunity to practice in a setting similar to an actual show. In order to receive premium lists (which detail date, location and judges of all classes at a particular show) for shows in your area, visit the Superintendent’s office at any show.
(E) Best Junior Handler. A club offering Junior Showmanship may offer a prize for Best Junior Handler. The prize must be described in the premium list in accordance with Rules Applying to Dog Shows Chapter 5, Section 4. The Junior Handler placed first in each of the regular Junior Showmanship Classes, if undefeated in any other Junior Showmanship Class at that show, shall automatically be eligible to compete for this prize. Judging criteria Juniors are judged on their ability to present, or handle, their dogs within the same formats and guidelines as those who compete in the breed ring. The quality of their presentation, not the dog, is judged. Juniors are encouraged July/August/September, 2013

ChoosingAStudDog
by D. Caroline Coile, Ph.D.
Eleven Essential Steps leven tips to follow to choose a stud dog. Finding a stud dog is easy. Finding a good stud dog is a little more difficult. Finding the right stud dog for your bitch can be downright daunting. By following these guidelines, you can narrow your list to just a few contenders.
E
likely it is that he might carry a recessive gene. If an undesirable trait is inherited polygenically (by the combined action of several traits), then the stud may only be able to correct it part way, depending on how affected he is. You can get clues about what hidden polygenic genes the stud might carry by looking at his siblings.
1. Be objective about your bitch’s good and bad points, and prioritize which are most important. The chances of finding a stud that complements all of your bitch’s weak areas is low, but it makes sense to focus on dogs that don’t share many of her faults and, more importantly, don’t share her moresignificant faults. Even better, find a stud that has corrected the same weak points when bred to other bitches.
3. Open your eyes to dogs from other lines. Don’t just focus on big winners. Remember: handlers and advertising can make a top dog out of a mediocre one. At the same time, don’t get caught up in the “hidden treasure” syndrome, in which you think you’ve discovered an unknown, perhaps un-shown, dog that nobody else has noticed. Judge him as objectively as you would the big winner, without excuses. Just because a dog has lost a leg in an accident, for example, doesn’t mean he would have had perfect movement if he still had four legs. All else being equal, a dog with a better win record has a greater chance of attracting puppy buyers, so don’t totally neglect that aspect.
2. Learn as much as you can about the inheritance of the traits you need to change. If your bitch’s undesirable trait is inherited as a simple dominant, then the stud dog may not be able to correct it, even if he doesn’t have that trait. If your bitch’s undesirable trait is inherited as a simple recessive, then the stud can only correct it if he does not exhibit the same trait, and even then some puppies may still inherit the trait if he carries a recessive gene for it. By looking at the stud dog’s ancestors, you can gauge how July/August/September, 2013
4. Write out sample pedigrees of proposed litters. You can find programs (some on the Internet are free) that will calculate a coefficient of inbreeding (COI) for each proposed pedigree. The COI is an estimate of how inbred your puppies would be, which in turn, is an estimate of how
likely a recessive allele will double up in one of them. Give extra points to the pedigree with a smaller COI, particularly one under 10 percent. Because many hereditary health problems are inherited recessively, your chances of healthier puppies are greater with lower COIs. 5. Arrange to see prospective stud dogs in person. Pictures can be doctored, and videos can be carefully edited to disguise faults and temperament gaffes. The best place to see a lot of stud dogs is at your breed’s national specialty or, if you’re looking for a performance dog, at the premier event for that activity. 6. All else being equal, choose a less-used sire over a popular sire. For one thing, who wants what everyone else has? In addition, if you plan to breed subsequent generations, your dogs will be more valuable to the breed if they don’t carry the same genes that are swamping the breed’s gene pool. 7. All else being equal, choose a middle-aged or older sire over a young one. Young dogs may not have reached maturity, and also may be too young to be affected by age-related health problems. Very old dogs have shown they can live to old age. However, they may have problems with sperm quality. continued on page 14 11

Continued from page 11
8. Consider the location of the stud. Although location shouldn’t be your primary consideration, it may not be practical to choose a dog from far away if it’s too hot to ship your bitch by air, or if you can’t take a week or more off work to drive your bitch there. Although chilled semen is a good option, some dogs’ semen survives chilling better than others, and extra expenses are involved in collecting, chilling, shipping and inseminating.
It’s better to contact only real contenders; other owners won’t appreciate a shotgun approach, especially if they send you lots of information and you never get back to them. Be prepared to tell them about your bitch, and either show her to them or supply pictures. Explain what you hope to achieve with the litter and when you plan to breed. It’s bad manners to simply assume they will say yes. Instead, ask them if they would consider a breeding.
9. Once you’ve narrowed down your choices, contact the owners.
10. Ask to see the stud’s genetic test results.
You should already be familiar with the hereditary problems in your breed and any available tests for them. In fact, your bitch should have already had the same tests you require of the stud dog. Ask about the health and longevity of the stud’s siblings and ancestors. Give preference to a dog whose owner seems upfront about possible problems. 11. Ask about breeding terms. Most stud owners will ask for either a fee or a puppy, usually second pick. If your bitch is to stay with the stud owner, does boarding cost extra? Is there a fee if she must be picked up from the airport? If the stud owner is to get a puppy, at what age will it be chosen? Ask about what constitutes a litter, and what arrangements are made in case no litter results. What sort of pre-breeding tests are required? Both males and females should be tested for brucellosis. Remember, just as no dog is perfect, no stud choice is perfect. But doing the best research you can may raise your chances of perfect puppies.

In A Breeder Hostile World
A
t the Chicago International Show a couple of years ago I noticed a woman stopping at every set-up taking business cards. By the time she reached me, she had a fist full of them, all different handler, breeds and breeders. She never looked at any of the dogs or asked any questions of the handlers or breeders about their animals. I was suspicious. She was either collecting information to target advertising, a relatively benign assumption, or she could have been with an Animal Rights group, researching breeders for further harassment and possible targeting. Either way, I refused to let her take one of my cards. The increasing number of breeder raids by local Humane Officers fueled by the Animal Rights Agenda should have all of us on edge. In some cases, the abuse or neglect charges are made because dogs haven’t had yearly dental cleaning. While that is an extreme situation, it is happening. Any picture of the back yard of a multi dog household in Central Wisconsin after the first thaw in spring would look awful, and without explanation, very incriminating. My address is my post office box. I have done that for years as a small level of protection for myself and my family because of the work I used to do. It came in very handy when I represented a young boy in a reckless homicide case. The tragedy caused the victim’s July/August/September, 2013
family such grief they started expressing it at every turn. That included aiming their anger at the boy’s defense team, me and my co-counsel. The local sheriff came to my office and warned me to be careful due to death threats against us and offered police protection before and during the boy’s trial. A few years later we installed a new telephone line for a fax machine. Unfortunately the telephone company overlooked the memo not to publish my address in the phone book. It is now available in online searches but it does require a little effort. All of my dog show entries and AKC certificates list my Post Office box as my address. My business cards are
the same. A casual glance through a show catalogue or online entry wouldn’t result in my home address popping up. We all need to be careful and work together to protect our sport and our dogs. The first line of defense for the individual breeder is to protect your home. Don’t advertise where you live and make sure you carefully screen anyone you invite to your home to see a puppy. And by all means, use a Post Office Box for anything that is public. As the animal rights agenda has accelerated over the past number of years and is increasingly snaring small hobby breeders in their net, I am again happy my home address is a little more difficult to find.

Creating A Canine Disaster Survival Kit
O
ur dogs are an important part of our daily lives and many of us consider them members of the family. They are our cherished companions and the devoted playmates of our children. They depend on us for so very much. It is our responsibility to keep them safe and that includes during emergencies and natural disasters. In the event of an emergency such as a flood, hurricane, tornado, wildfire or other natural disaster, you may be forced to evacuate your home. Being prepared is often critical to survival. Assembling a canine disaster survival kit for your dogs today will give you some peace of mind and save precious minutes if or when an emergency does occur. To create a disaster survival kit for your dog, include the following items in a sturdy container. I have two dogs and prepared my kit using a Rubbermaid 18 gallon storage tote. • A leash and collar or harness.
• Bottles of fresh water, enough for three days. • A several day supply of dog food and treats, along with information on your dog’s eating habits and food allergies. • Any medications your dog is on, in a waterproof container plus information on dosage and frequency. • Clean bedding. • Grooming supplies. • Cleaning supplies including plastic bags, a roll of paper towels and a small bottle of disinfectant. • A canine first aid kit tailored to your breed and the number of dogs you own. In your kit, keep a file of important documents that may prove helpful in an emergency. Include copies of vaccination records and any treatment records on existing medical conditions, copies of registration papers, adoption papers, bills of sale or proofs of purchase, microchip or other identification information. It is especially important to remember that having your dogs
MAKE A PLAN! 16
microchipped is useless unless the chips are registered with the manufacturer and your contact information is stored in their database. Also include a few recent photographs of you and your dogs in case they become lost or separated due to the disaster. Write the breed, age, sex and color on the back. The photographs can also be used to help prove ownership of your dogs. It will be helpful to include a list of emergency contacts, such as friends and rea’tives, especially someone who lives outside of the affected area. Include your veterinarian’s name, address, and telephone number. It may also be helpful to include information on petfriendly motels that are a good driving distance from your home. Once you have placed all of your items in the box, if you have room, I recommend putting one or two duplicates of your dog’s favorite toys. They will help put your dogs more at ease in a time of heavy stress. Store the kit in an easy to access location next to or near their crates or kennels so that you can grab it quickly if you need to evacuate your home. Please make sure the crates are labeled with the dogs’ names and your name, address, and telephone number. We may not be able to prevent a disaster from occurring, be we can minimize the impact. A little planning can help reduce injuries, loss and suffering. PUG TALK - The Stud/Black/Performance Issue

Can Dogs and Cats Have Strokes?
D
ogs and cats just don’t have all the risk factors for strokes that humans do: the drinking, the smoking, the penchant for greasy snacks that clog up the arteries. Maybe that’s why it was generally believed that pets didn’t have strokes. But with the help of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), veterinarians have discovered quite the opposite: Dogs and cats can - and do - have strokes. In a recent presentation at the Western Veterinary Conference, Dr. Theresa E. Pancotto, a clinical assistant professor at the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine in Blacksburg, Virginia, shared some new findings about strokes in pets.
A Process Similar to Human Strokes A stroke is essentially a brain abnormality that results from a disruption in the blood supply to the area. The symptoms can vary, depending on the part of the brain that’s affected and the severity of the incident. As in people, there are two types of strokes in pets: ischemic (caused by insufficient blood supply) or hemorrhagic (caused by too much blood). July/August/September, 2013
An ischemic stroke happens when a blood clot or other material becomes lodged in a vessel, preventing blood flow. Since the brain cells in that area are deprived of the oxygen and glucose needed to function properly, they eventually die. A hemorrhagic stroke, which is much less common in pets, happens when a vessel ruptures, usually because of trauma or disease. Brain cells can be damaged when excess blood within the skull compresses the cells, or from too much hemoglobin, a component of red blood cells, which can be toxic to neurons.
Signs May Be More Subtle in Pets Than in People Pets undergoing strokes usually show sudden signs. The trouble is there’s no single symptom that is the hallmark of a stroke - signs can differ depending on the location and severity of the incident. Symptoms can be as vague as a head tilt and circling to difficulty walking and seizures, according to Dr. Pancotto. Still other pets may show the sudden onset of signs but recover from them in less than 24 hours. In these cases, the incident may be considered a transient ischemic attack (TIA), which generally does not involve any permanent brain damage.
Diagnosis: Finding the Underlying Cause To diagnose a stroke, veterinarians usually recommend that pets be sent to a special facility for MRI or CT scans, which can visualize the actual lesions in the brain. Once a lesion has been verified, additional tests may be required, such as bloodwork, X-rays and ultrasounds, to identify any underlying causes. In dogs, the most common underlying causes for ischemic strokes are Cushing’s disease (a condition associated with the adrenal glands), hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone levels), chronic kidney disease and high blood pressure.
Treatment and Prognosis Treatment usually focuses on managing the underlying cause. Pets with severe signs may need to be hospitalized and provided with supportive care, such as oxygen and fluid therapy. The prognosis depends on the severity of the incident, but many pets recover, at least partially, with supportive care and physical therapy, says Dr. Pancotto.

ThingsThatBite&Sting
S
ummertime means picnics and outdoor living… as well as bees, wasps, hornets, fire ants and other biting, stinging bugs that can make life miserable. Various members of the insect family can cause problems for not just us but also for our pets. Bees, wasps, yellow jackets and hornets are commonly encountered in both urban and rural landscapes. Some pets are fascinated with these flying insects and will endlessly try to catch them with occasionally painful results. Unfortunately, sometimes these insects’ activities or nests place them close to the ground where pet attention is almost guaranteed.
Bee Stings With most stings, you won’t know anything has occurred until you see your pet with a swollen face or notice him limping. Facial swelling (angioedema), eyelid swelling and hives are commonly seen after a pet is stung. In the case of a bee, if you can locate the stinger, use a credit card or fingernail to gently scrape it out. Many times, however, the stinger cannot be located. You can use a cool compress on the affected area to help reduce the swelling and pain. Do not use an ice pack as that can cause frost bite. Monitor your pet for a couple of hours to make sure signs are not worsening. Discuss with your veterinarian if there are any additional home remedies you can 18
use. Aloe Vera gel or a baking soda paste can be used, but you will need to keep the animal from licking the area. Antihistamines can be used in mild cases, but be sure to call your veterinarian to find out which product is safe for your pet and what the appropriate dose is. If your pet experiences a severe reaction (anaphylaxis), see the veterinarian immediately. Anaphylaxis is a shock type of reaction. Your pet may have difficulty breathing, trembling, diarrhea, pale gums, weakness or may even be unconscious. If any of these symptoms occur, take him immediately to your veterinarian - this is an emergency! Your veterinarian may need to administer antihistamines, steroids or other medications to help reverse the problems. In sensitive animals, a single sting can result in anaphylaxis. Many times, veterinarians will prescribe an epi-pen-type auto injector for animals with a history of anaphylaxis. Owners are then able to start treatment on the way to the veterinarian. Encounters with Africanized bees or animals that get more than 10 stings per pound can result in death. These animals can die from multiple organ failure. If your pet receives multiple stings, you must get your animal to the veterinarian immediately. You can help keep your pet safe by placing low fenced borders around flowering plants and by noticing and avoiding any insect nest sites.

Fire Ants People living in the southern United States also have to contend with fire ants, an invasive species that was first accidentally imported into this country from Brazil in the early 1900s. Fire ants are extremely aggressive and will bite anyone or anything that they feel is threatening them or their mound. Fire ant bites are extremely painful. The ants inject an oily venom that produces a reddened, raised bump. With some species of fire ants, within 24 hours these reddened bumps will turn into a white pustule that can become infected. Do not allow your pet to scratch the bites. If fire ants have attacked your pet, remove the animal from the area to stop additional ants from attacking. Carefully brush off the fire ants that you see on your pet’s body; attempting to slap them can simply aggravate them more. Make sure that you are wearing gloves and protective clothing, as the fire ants will attack you during this process. Don’t spray water on your pet to remove the ants because it can increase the amount of bites. Cool compresses can be used on the affected area to help reduce pain and swelling. Antihistamines can be used in mild cases, but be sure to call your veterinarian to find out which products can be used on your pet and for an appropriate dose. Anaphylaxis can also occur secondary to fire ant bites. See your veterinarian for PUG TALK - The Stud/Black/Performance Issue

eady to grab that beach towel and head to the shore with your canine companion in tow? While a straw hat and a pulp-fiction novel may be at the top of your packing list, you also need to bring along a few things to help ensure your dog’s comfort and take the right precautions to keep him safe on land and in the water.
Water Safety Although some dogs seem to be natural swimmers, flatnosed and barrel-chested breeds, like Bulldogs, have a hard time staying afloat. When in doubt, make sure that your dog is wearing a life vest, and never leave your pup unsupervised in or even near the water. When it’s time to go for a swim, it’s always best to steer
your pet toward calmer waters, away from speedboats and rough surf. Scan the area for possible danger spots, or ask a lifeguard for advice on water conditions. Finally, try to keep your dog from guzzling too much salt water, which can lead to vomiting, diarrhea and dehydration. The water in lakes, ponds and streams can also be problematic and contain microorganisms that can lead to illness. Stagnant water that resembles pea soup may contain bluegreen algae, and drinking it can cause liver problems. Instead, bring plenty of fresh, clean water and a collapsible drinking bowl to quench your dog’s thirst.
Sun Safety With all that romping in the sun, it’s easy for canines to
by Dr. Mary Fuller overheat, particularly such flatnosed breeds as Pugs and Pekingese, which can succumb to the heat faster than others. So be sure to provide a cool place in the shade for them to rest or consider packing a portable, pop-up carrier that offers protection from the sun and plenty of ventilation. Canines with pink or lightcolored noses or thin, short coats are at a higher risk of developing sunburn and skin cancer. Dogs who have hair loss or who expose the bare skin of their bellies to the sun could use a little sunscreen too. Since human sunscreens can contain ingredients that shouldn’t be ingested by dogs, look for a fragrance-free pet sunscreen or a sunblock with continued on next page
continued from left treatment if your pet is having any difficulty breathing or if they seem painful. Treat fire ant mounds with pesticides to help protect your pets and children. Fire ants live in large societies, and their mounds can house anywhere from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of ants. Always follow label directions and make sure to keep your pets away from treated areas.
Venomous Walking Sticks While the ìstingî from these insects doesn’t come from their July/August/September, 2013
bite, it can be just as painful. While most species of walking stick insects are completely harmless, in the southeastern United States there are some species that have the ability to spray defensive venom when they think they are being threatened. These walking sticks can aim the spray into your pet’s eyes and mouth. When this venom gets in the eyes of a cat or a dog, it is very painful and stops the animal from hurting the walking stick. The venom can actually cause a chemically induced corneal ulcer (burn) and even temporary blindness. If your pet is
squinting or rubbing at his eyes, or his eyes look red and swollen, a trip to the veterinarian is in order. You may be directed to rinse the eyes with saline solution or tap water before your appointment. While not all bee stings or fire ant bites require medical attention, you do need to know when to contact your veterinarian if your pet is attacked by one of the many ubiquitous stinging and biting insects of summer.

Pug Crazy After All These Years Even though I’m the Queen of the World, things are very different these days. Because of my back problems, I walk funny, sit strangely, and stand awkwardly. At first, I found these changes extremely annoying. My body parts just won’t do what they used to, but my mind still keeps trying to tell those parts to do what they don’t want to do anymore. If you think that’s confusing to read, just imagine how I feel! But Mommy, Daddy, and Young One all still treat me the same as ever, though more gently. When I want to sit down, my legs slide under me, and I end up in the most ungraceful positions, like having my front feet behind my back feet, because the back ones seem to go where ever they want. Basically, I sit where I sit. When I stand for more than a few minutes, my back legs start slipping or bowing out, and I feel like a stuffed animal that’s been played with too much. My servants won’t allow me to jump on or off the couch, and they insist on carrying me up and down stairs, even those with only two steps! I guess that’s OK, since those things

from licking it off before it fully soaks in. For dogs with thin, white coats, a tee-shirt can also help further protect sun-vulnerable backs and tummies.

When you’re ready to call it a day, rinse your dog with clean water to remove any sand or salt from his coat. Use a towel to dry him off, paying particular attention to any moisture on the outside of his ears.

do hurt sometimes. But I still have feelings, and I do NOT like to be kept from the things I know are fun. One of the things I miss most is when Mommy used to take me on long walks in the woods. Sometimes when we go outside, I start up the trail that we used to take and look back at Mommy, expecting her to follow. She shakes her head at me and sighs, “No, Queenie, I’m afraid we can’t go on a walk today.” Somehow, she doesn’t remember that she is supposed to obey my every whim, so she keeps me from doing things that used to make me happy. The things I can’t do now that really bug me are jumping and running in the creek, chasing the cat and bowling him over, playing “kill the chicken” with my stuffies, and especially, taking those long walks in the woods. However, sometimes Mommy relents just a bit on taking walks, as she knows how much it means to me, and we do a short jaunt up the trail through the woods. Today was one of those days. We got to go up the trail for twenty minutes. Even though that’s nothing compared to the hour or two we used to go walking, it made me so very happy!
Today we passed lots of flowers, and even better, we found wild raspberries! Mommy picked a few to let me taste, which is one of my favorite things of all. I used to go both huckleberry and raspberry picking with Mommy and Daddy, and I would pick my own berries, pulling them off gently between my teeth and eating them up one by one. Now I can’t get into the deeper bushes anymore, so Mommy had to pick a few for me, but it was pure joy tasting those berries again! July/August/September, 2013
Another thing I enjoyed today was sniffing the wildflowers. The smells I find in the woods are so much better than those in the cabin, unless you count the time of day Mommy cooks dinner. Aside from dinner time, the woodsy fragrances are more sublime than any other. I love to stroll along the path, walk up to each flower I see, and sniff the blossoms, taking my time to stop and smell the forest. Some of my favorites are the nice smelly flowers, such as the ones Mommy calls “stink weed,” but the pretty smelling ones, like the little round circles called “tansy” are good, too. As we continued up the trail, I soaked in every smell, sound, and sight. Doggy joy hovered within my grasp as I discovered several smelly things to investigate. Mommy smiled to see me having such a great time, and she said, “My good old puggy baby, I guess we should try to come here a couple times a week. It’s good for your heart, isn’t it?” I snorted and bobbed my head in affirmative. There aren’t many better things in the world than a woodsy trail, forest smells, and being with your servant for a fine constitutional. Then Mommy sighed and said, “Queenie, I hope you stay healthy enough to take walks with me for a long, long time. You know, Daddy and I are still pug crazy after all these years!” The old sparkle jumped into my eyes, and I grinned happily. Never has an elderly pug felt as spry as I did strolling home down the forest continued on next page 21

path. Life isn’t easy for an old pug like me, but I must admit I’m glad to have pug-crazy humans. After all, I’m still a crazy pug after all these years, too, aren’t I?
I Had a Dream
T
omorrow I have to go to the vet. This is what I have to say about that: Grrrr. Any pug would think that the Queen of the World could say when she does or doesn’t want to have a vet visit. However, even though I HATE going to the vet, Mommy seems to make me appointments way more than she used to. I guess that’s what happens when a pug gets old. My back has something called “compacted disks,” I have lost more teeth than I care to admit, I must stay on a diet of goat milk, carrots, yogurt, and lamb & rice canned food to control the acid reflux (no more yummy fruit!), and all because of that horrible thing called “age.” I don’t mean to complain, of course. I know my servants, Mommy, Daddy, and Young One take the very best care of me that they can. But getting old is a pain.

I have to go to the vet because of another ear infection. Imagine that! In my youth, I never had to worry about stuff like that. I only had to go to the vet for normal things like shots and worming (though I would gladly have done without those, too!). I had the strength of a pit bull, the heart of a tiger, and the intelligence of a...well, a pug. In other words, I was perfect in every way back in the good old days. I had a dream last night about when I was just a pup. In my dream, I was a little wisp of a black pug, sitting in the lap of Young One, who is Mommy and Daddy’s child. I felt so happy and secure then, as though nothing could ever go wrong. I could eat fruit like strawberries, apples, and grapefruit, plus bits of raw beef and crunchy dog food to my heart’s content back then. My servant, Brandy the old mastiff dog, bowed to my wishes in all things. I guess she thought I was cute...sigh, I miss her. As I dreamed about all the fun things I used to do, I saw my old friends, Sergeant Bruiser Pickles, the bad cats, and even my old favorite chew toy, a foo-foo poodle. Ah, those times were real fun, when I used to do the bullet run in circles around anything that moved, pug roar mightily at anything menacing (like a garbage truck or a bus, and it was a good thing for them Mommy used to keep me on a leash)! I could also eat like a mastiff whenever I wanted. As I dreamed, I rolled over in my sleep more than once, trying to bullet run like I used to. I also remembered when I was young-just a whippersnapper of a pug, and I knew everyPUG TALK - The Stud/Black/Performance Issue
silly birds, whose noises tell me they want to tease but won’t come face me when I challenge them. Now barking at them is real fun! Come to think of it, there are a few things about being older that aren’t so bad. Mommy snuggles with me ever so much more now, and tells me what a beautiful pug I am. Daddy helps me up and down the stairs to make sure it doesn’t hurt my back, and he always gives me lots of tummy rubs. Young One practically falls at my feet when she sees me, telling me how cute I am, no matter what I’m doing. These things are all great to have in my life. Maybe it’s not so very bad to have lost some of my youth. I do have three servants who adore me even more than they did when I was a darling little pup or a smart young whippersnapper. And they never let me go without love, warmth, and enough food to keep me happy (OK, even steamed carrots are tasty). So instead of complaining, I’m going to have a new dream. It’s going to be a dream where Mommy and Daddy are with me for a long, long time, holding me in their arms and never letting go. They’ll keep me safe and warm, happy and secure, just like when I was a puglet. And if I’m extra lucky, maybe they’ll even forget to take me to the vet! Hey, I can dream, can’t I? thing. At least I thought I did. I used to be in 4H with Young One, and I won reserve Grand Champion at the 4-H dog show when I was only a year old. Now that was a day to remember! I recall the sharp pang of excitement in the air as all the dogs at the fair grounds competed to show who knew what their servants wanted them to do the best. I still woof a few laughs now and then when I remember how my collar fell off over my head when we were in fitting and showing: two times! I just stopped and stood perfectly still both times for Young One to put it back on so we could continue, and followed all her instructions perfectly. The judges were pretty impressed that a one-year-old pug could do that! Now, though, I can only hope for somehow avoiding unpleasant things tomorrow when we go to the vet. No competitions, no tasty fruit to gobble down, no bullet run around Mommy and Daddy’s feet, no pug roaring at monsters. I must disclose some secrets, though. For one, I do get to walk outside off leash now, since we live in the woods, and Mommy stands by me as I get to bark my tail off at those pesky squirrels and the July/August/September, 2013

s our Pugs get older, you may want to think about what you can do that is fun for both of you. You have retired him from the show ring but you still want to have some activity and not allow him to become a couch potato. There are several things you can do but the one I want to talk about this month is going to a Pug Fest or join a Pug Meetup Group. There’s a Pug Fest in Milwaukee, which was named “Best Festival” contest by a local television station. Milwaukee Pug Fest is the largest Pug event in the United States, with attendees coming from all over the U.S. and Canada according to their spokesperson. They have this event in May so you have missed it for this year but you may want to mark your calendar for next year, May 18, 2014. It’s a fundraiser that benefits Pug Rescue! Most will have their Pugs dressed in their favorite duds! Check in your state to see if there are any Pug Fests that you can attend. Some of the Meetups the Pugs only wear cute hats or scarfs. You don’t have dress your Pug. Next, we have a Pug Meetup. Unlike the annual Pug Fest, the Meetups usually meet once a month. There is one in Richmond, Virginia that was established in 2005. They meet the first Saturday of each month. 24
There are also Pug Meetups in Sacramento and San Jose, California as well as other cities in the United States. Check to see if there is one in your area. If not, why not start one. You get a chance to spend time with Pugs, their owners and have fun dressing up your puggies, as well as sharing a meal or snack. You
There’s a Pug Meetup Group in Raleigh, North Carolina. They charge $1.00 to cover supplies for name tags, etc. It’s a small price to pay for all the snorts and laughs you get to enjoy! It is also called For the Love of Pugs and they have a F.L.O.P. party. They are also working on having a summer BBQ Meetup at a member’s house which will be advertised as BYOB (Bring Your Own Pug). In New York City, the New York City Pug Meetup has a pug-centric indoor meetup which are fundraisers to benefit the entire animal community. This event is held at Animal Haven Soho. NYC has one the second Sunday each month and Hells Kitchen has one the thirrd
can have them inside or outside. That’s the beauty of having a toy breed. It’s a good way to have some fun once a month of being around lots of Pugs in between going to the Pug National especially for those who do not show every week/month or have a retired Pug. When you attend a Pug Meetup you get to enjoy the finest pugs snorting, sniffing and playing with old and new friends. It’s also a good way to celebrate your dog’s birthday!

Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome I’m not a vet nor do I plan one on television but I am concerned about this disease often referred to as Dog Alzheimer’s or Dog Dementia. I am interested in this subject because it involves behavior. Dogs in their twilight years present a true diagnostic challenge. Not only are senior dogs more likely to develop health problems, but they are inclined to develop multiple health problems and greater variability in their responses to stress, drugs and environmental factors. A very fine line exists between “normal” and “abnormal” for a particular age of dog. In general the definition of Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (CDS) is geriatric onset behavioral changes (usually gradual) which are not entirely attributable to (other) general medical conditions. Historically, geriatric behavior problems have fallen into diagnostic categories similar to those in younger dogs. Based on two studies, those include: separation anxiety; breakdown of housetraining; aggression toward dogs; aggression toward people or dogs; excessive vocalization; phobia; and, night time waking where often no motivation is noted. Let’s go now to the most important part of the history ensuring that the pet does have the clinical signs consistent with CDS. Very seldom will a dog have an observable CDS problem during a visit to the veterinary hospital. Veterinarians must know all of the details about: • what the problem is • when it started July/August/September, 2013
• its trend • any secondary problems To get this depth of information goes beyond simply asking how the dog is doing. You, as owners need to tell your vet about behavioral problems that have arisen and/or need changing. Without your help, the signs of CDS may be passed over because you mistakenly assume behavioral changes associated with CDS are “normal aging,” and not signs of a disease or condition. The history is seldom volunteered in an appointment. As owners, I suggest you carefully record what clinical signs are present and this is done best by a questionnaire. A questionnaire called Senior Dog Behavior History Form such as the one done by Lance Animal Hospital in Georgia can be found at the link below or ask your vet if they have such a form you can pick up. Print the form, keep your records on it and give it to your vet when you visit next. An addition you may want to make is to rate each occurrence of the abnormal behavior as 1 through 10, with 1 being very mild and 10 being very severe. Write this on the form and explain it to your vet. You can get a form at the following link: http://www.lanceah.com/ files/SENIOR-DOG-BEHAVIOR-HISTORY.pdf The Senior Dog Behavior History Form categorizes clinical signs into the following: • Disorientation (confusion, wandering aimlessly, going to wrong side of doors; appearing to forget previously learned tasks getting “stuck” in corners and behind furniture);
• Activity/sleep behavior (Dogs often sleep more during the day, and much more deeply; they often are awake at times they “should” be sleeping, e.g. during the night. They may act restless and pace or wander inappropriately - hence we often state that they have an increase in purposeless activity, and a decrease in purposeful activity); • Housetraining (inappropriate elimination in dogs previously well housetrained, or increased accidents in dogs that had occasional ones. These dogs are often disoriented and will, for example, signal to go outdoors, stand in the yard for a while and reenter the house to urinate, often right in front of the owners); and, • Interaction with family members (walking away from being petted, greeting owners less (or not at all) at the door; no longer initiating play or petting). Under each subheading it lists typical examples (not exhaustive however) of each category, about which you can document behavior changes over time. Disorientation: This would include getting lost in places where your pet should be familiar, wandering aimlessly, not being able to find entry/ exit doors and staring into space. Activity and Sleep: It’s not necessarily that these dogs are less active remember that the CHARACTER of the activity itself may be changed, i.e. increased pacing or wandering purposeless activity and sleep is increased, often very DEEP, and often at times the dog was continued on next page 25

Continued from previous page
previously awake. So you may think that your dog is MORE active than in the past (for example: my dog is now sleeping 21 hours a day, and pacing the other three). Housetraining: these dogs may soil the home but may also signal, go out and not eliminate, fail to signal or go out, not eliminate and then come in and eliminate indoors. Change in Family Interactions: Dog social behavior changes. They tend to walk away while being petted, and generally initiate petting and play less (or none at all). Greeting behavior is decreased or gone. If you think about it these are qualities that people value in their dogs as members of the family. Hearing Loss vs. the Signs of CDS “Naturally” occurring hearing loss (that is, changes we expect to see as our dog, AND OURSELVES, for that matter, gets older) is gradual and dog’s usually compensate in their actions and response to stimuli. With CDS the hearing loss can be present but there are elements of confusion, so that perhaps if you clap your hands to wake your dog, he may alert to the sound if he hears a little. If he does have CDS, he will be confused and not respond appropriately. Other Possibilities They can be divided into behavioral and medical. Another way of thinking of these is to consider primary behavior problems and those 26
secondary to medical problems which may mimic signs of CDS. Your vet will need to rule out medical conditions. The physical examination and neurological examination would be a key here as with any diagnostic dilemma, since your vet would see changes in the neuro exam similar to most neurological diseases. Remember that for the most part CDS is a “diagnosis of exclusion” - it cannot be confirmed in patients until after death, so it is important to determine other possible causes. Medical diseases that are similar to cognitive dysfunction include: • Any Central Nervous System disease, such as a tumor; • Any disease that indirectly affects the Central Nervous System, such as end stage organ dysfunction like renal (kidney) or hepatic (liver) disease; • Endocrine disorders, such as diabetes • Conditions that affect circulation or blood supply (especially to the brain). Therefore anemia, hypertension cardiac disease, respiratory disease (and their causes) must be examined; • Painful conditions can affect the pet’s response to stimuli or increase irritability and perhaps aggression; • Deafness - and blindness technically fall into the “secondary” behavioral problem category. Dogs with sensory impairment though — if they do not have CDS — are very
good at compensating for the impairment. Deaf dogs learn to recognize other signals; blind dogs find their way around fine, and learn (for example) by bumping into things, if it’s gradual onset impairment. Often in real life, of course, we see dogs with both sensory failing and CDS. • Any condition that affects the pet’s mobility (arthritis, degenerative joint disease, etc.), or the pet’s senses could also directly or indirectly affect behavior; and, • If we are dealing with house soiling we have all of the rule outs from a medical standpoint, for polyuria, incontinence, increased frequency, etc. (such as urinary tract infection, kidney disease, etc.). In fact between the neuro exam, the physical exam, the acute onset, and laboratory tests (Blood Chemistry, Complete Blood Count and Urinalysis, as a minimum), it should be possible to rule out cognitive dysfunction in many cases. With a slower onset, a progressive condition and no laboratory tests or physical findings on exam that would indicate a medical problem that might contribute to the clinical signs (behavioral), then your vet could consider CDS a diagnosis. Stepping back to the five “signs” is one sign enough to make diagnosis or do we need 3 of 5, or 5 of 5? In very general terms, this is a diagnosis based on MULTIPLE signs that could be within one category or in more than one. If a dog is showing just one (say, inappropriate PUG TALK - The Stud/Black/Performance Issue
elimination) CDS should certainly be part of the possibilities (in an old dog with a problem that’s gradual in onset) but CDS is typically a syndrome with multiple signs. In general it is unlikely that, with a good behavioral history, you’d find aggression to be the sole sign of CDS. To answer more vaguely :) aggression is a very broad, very nonspecific sign, of anything from metabolic disease to osteoarthritis to intensified dominance aggression due to impaired vision and hearing. But aggression/ irritability can occur (and does) as part of this syndrome in some dogs. Also, we can have concurrent medical problems AND CDS. In addition, there are other behavioral considerations. Primary behavior problems in dogs - those not secondary to a medical condition may be either new or chronic. If an old dog exhibits behavior changes in one category (for example inappropriate elimination) but lacks any other signs of CDS, it is important to consider non-CDS related problems in your vet’s behavior differential. Some important primary behavior differentials include: • Obsessive/compulsive disorders • Separation anxiety • Separation anxiety with destruction of property • Fear biting • Environmental phobia (e.g. noise/thunder) • Inadequate housetraining (or breakdown of housetraining) • Urine marking July/August/September, 2013
• Aggression of assorted varieties (dominance, fear, territorial). It must be determined whether or not these dogs are chronically predisposed to aggressiveness. Aggression is not particularly pathognomonic for CDS however. • Confusion • Less responsive • Getting lost in corners or staring at a door in anticipation of it being opened • Not responding to name being called • Having indoor accidents • Forgetfulness • Personality changes • Not as social as before • Not recognizing familiar people or places • Wandering through the house • Barking for no apparent reason A point about separation anxiety since it may come up quite frequently as a possible diagnosis. In old dogs as in young, separation anxiety (without CDS) is classically a problem that occurs in the absence of owners and shortly after they depart (not six hours later) in direct response to departure, and at exit points (doors). Most important, signs of disorientation are absent. As you look at the clinical categories of CDS you may notice that all four categories involve disorientation to some degree (even inappropriate elimination in which dogs eliminate at their owners’ feet). Your vet will also consider drug side effects when looking at symptoms and responses to therapy when diagnosing CDS. Your vet may first try
therapy and wait for a response if you diagnose or suspect a medical problem. Sometimes the vet may even do drug trials before making the CDS diagnosis. If a pet is on drugs, one will also consider the side effect of those drugs. And even if a diagnosis of CDS is made, you will have to remember that these are older dogs and that other medical problems may soon develop. In fact, other medical problems are LIKELY to develop, in approximately 50% of older dogs. Moreover, another medical disorder (other than CDS) is likely to occur within the same year. Be aware that these signs are not necessarily those of normal aging. Consider also that controlling the signs of CDS can significantly improve quality of life for your dog and indirectly for the human family (and the relationship). Supportive care of your dog for other (concurrent) problems is also important in that you must have realistic expectations for management of a progressive disorder. Is it known if primary CDS dogs have a shorter life span than other geriatric dogs, in other words can it be considered a cause of death? Indirectly the answer appears to be yes - because untreated or unresponsive CDS appears to accelerate the decision to euthanize. For those who also own cats you may be interested to know if CDS occurs in cats. It’s not known for sure but so far there have been some of the physical changes characcontinued on next page 27

teristic of CDS found in cats are virtually identical to those seen in dogs, and these cats (3 in the study) had cognitive dysfunction type signs such as wandering and vocalizing. In another study of older cats (about 50 cats in the study), about 60% have been identified with at least one of the signs as seen in dogs. Treatment Information Although there is no cure, your vet can help prolong the quality of your dog’s life, and preserve his/her role in the family, by decreasing the behavioral problems resulting from the syndrome. There are some relatively simple steps to ease your dog’s clinical signs. For example, environmental changes (in the home or yard) can help. Examples include placing baby gates in the house to prevent injury (stairs); also using leads and fences outdoors. Old dogs with CDS wander away from home and appear lost. In the home removing clutter can ease the dog’s mobility. Dogs can also be restricted to areas easily cleaned if they are inappropriately eliminating. It is important, however, not to socially isolate the dog. We can use house soiling as an example. Even if we were to treat control or perhaps resolve an underlying medical condition such as diabetes, a urinary tract infection or CDS, the problem may persist. For these dogs we may have to alter the environment, such as taking the pet out more frequently or confinement training but be28
havior modification in the form of reinforcing the appropriate behavior (with food and praise) and supervision and interruption of any indoor elimination. Although supervision and interruption with perhaps a lead and harness (not collar) is important if the dog begins to eliminate indoors, punishment has no place. It causes fear, anxiety, and in these older dogs perhaps even injury.
The checklist below should help you to determine whether there is sufficient symptoms that you have observed with your senior to warrant a trip to the vet. This is a shorter list than the one mentioned earlier but one that includes some of the most obvious behaviors that you would probably notice first. You should watch for some of the other behaviors if you observe any of the behaviors on the checklist below. As always, when in doubt consult your vet.
CANINE COGNATIVE DYSFUNCTION CHECKLIST • Does your dog become lost in places that were once familiar to him? • Have you found him stuck behind pieces of furniture, unable to find a way of escape? • Does he have new nighttime habits, such as wakefulness or pacing? • Does he forget to signal you that he needs to go out for his bathroom break? • Is he lethargic, inattentive, or does he stare into space? • Do familiar faces startle him? • Is he indifferent to human attention? • Are there changes in his eating and drinking habits? Observable behavior is the key to an early diagnosis with this disease. PUG TALK - The Stud/Black/Performance Issue
I hope you will join me this year for the 2013 Pug National and CGC testing. Let’s get those new pups certified.
Canine Good Citizen By Cher Grindle McCoy Once again we will have CGC testing at the National. It will be on Wednesday, September 18, 2013 at 5:30 p.m. The CGC Program provides an excellent foundation for performance sports such as Obedience, Agility, Rally and Freestyle. Since more insurance companies are requiring CGC certification as a prerequisite for renting apartments and houses, some of you may want to think about getting your CGC this year. It will be more fun to do it at the National where there are only pugs. The following is a list of the AKC CGC test which consists of 10 skills needed by all wellmannered dogs. All exercises are done on lead. #1 - Accepting a friendly stranger - The dog will allow a friendly stranger to approach it and speak to the handler in a natural, everyday situation. July/August/September, 2013
#2 - Sitting politely for petting - The dog will allow a friendly stranger to pet it while it is out with its handler. #3 - Appearance and grooming - The dog will welcome being groomed and examined and will permit someone, such as a veterinarian, groomer or friend of the owner, to do so. #4 - Out for a walk (walking on a loose lead) - The handler/dog team will take a short “walk” to show that the dog is in control while walking on a lead. #5 - Walking through a crowd - The dog and handler walk around and pass close to several people (at least three) to demonstrate that the dog can move about politely in pedestrian traffic and is under control in public places. #6 - Sit and down on command and Staying in place - The dog will respond to the handler’s commands to 1) sit, 2) down and will 3) remain in the place commanded by the handler (sit or down position, whichever the handler prefers).
#7 Coming when called The dog will come when called by the handler. The handler will walk 10 feet from the dog, turn to face the dog, and call the dog. #8 - Reaction to another dog - To demonstrate that the dog can behave politely around other dogs, two handlers and their dogs approach each other from a distance of about 20 feet, stop, shake hands and exchange pleasantries, and continue on for about 10 feet. #9 - Reaction to distraction - To demonstrate the dog is confident when faced with common distracting situations, the evaluator will select and present two distractions. #10 - Supervised separation - This test demonstrates that a dog can be left with a trusted person, if necessary, and will maintain training and good manners. The owner will go out of sight for three minutes. Equipment needed to take the test: 1. Dog brush or comb 2. Buckle collar or slip collar If you have any questions or need help between now and the National, please contact me and I will be happy to answer any questions and/or help you with any exercise you might be having problems with.

PUG TALK - The Stud/Black/Performance Issue
FREESTYLE I’ve talked in the past about the use in backchaining complex or chain behaviors in dog training, such as a retrieve or in music, such as learning the piano. In back chaining, the last part of the chained behavior is taught first, the 2nd to the last is taught 2nd, and so forth. The idea being that the student and/or dog goes from a part they don’t know as well to the part they know best thereby giving more confidence as they go through the entire chain of behaviors. Teaching the turn and back up toward you using backchaining:
Amy & Wonka
1. Start with making sure your dog is comfortable standing between your legs. Use mats at first for better traction on floor without carpet. 2. Dog backs with you when you take a step back. 3. Next, start standing 1/2 a step back and cue back. 4. Add the spin (turn) before backing toward you. Legs July/August/September, 2013
should be wide apart at first as well as help him by guiding him or use a verbal cue to get him to go with you until he can aim better. His aim will get better with practice. 5. Add more steps backward after the spin (turn). 6. Increase the distance between your dog and you. Remove mats. Make sure you are at 50% success rate before going any further. 7. Take it on the road. Go to a new location and start from the beginning. Repeat until the behavior is rock solid. Note: It is also useful to use exaggerated hand signals in the beginning but remember to fade them early. When teaching the turn, you can use a circle cue and then change the cue to turn or another cue (if that is already being used) for the turn which is actually a 1/2 turn. Choose another behavior that has several parts to it and see if backchaining works well for you and your dog. If backchaining works well for you try backchaining ‘chunks’ of a routine. Another chained behavior to try with backchaining that is great for Freestyle is “jump into your arms.” The great thing about backchaining is that the dog learns the routine really well. Also remember when backchaining that the last trick/move is one your dog should know best or one he really likes best. Like us when we either know something well or it’s one of our favorites, it will be done with exuberance
which always will be noticed by the audience. Catch the train to Choo Choo.......or you’ll miss the action in Agility!

MarkAndHumpfrey “
W
ith my heart set on getting a Pug, I looked on the Internet and was very lucky for, quite quickly, I found someone nearby whose own Pug had recently had puppies. She had had six, but only two brothers survived.”
“For some reason, the very day after meeting that tugging puppy, the name Humphrey came to me, and I knew then that that was what I was going to call him.”
Mark Wood, already one of Britain’s most published cartoonists, was recalling the way the little puppy who was to inspire his most famous character had entered his life.
Mark’s whimsical captioned drawings of his Pug have received international attention. With almost 20,000 followers on Humphrey’s Facebook page and now a popular paperback book, Humphrey the Lovable Little Pug, fanciers of the breed as well as scores of others have taken notice.
“I arranged to go and see the litter. When I arrived, both puppies immediately came to see me, so I sat on the floor with them and they climbed all over me. Then one of the puppies, the one who was to be mine, decided to bite the back of my pullover and kept tugging it. I arranged to pick him up the following week for his new life.” This falling in love at first sight is a familiar story to most of us whose lives have been taken over by our dogs.

And the rest, as is often claimed, is history.
“I have always loved animals,” Mark explains, “and growing up we had cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, fish, and even lizards, and then a yellow Labrador called Mikey. It was after Mikey passed away that I found myself reading a lot about Pugs, a breed I had always liked. So much of what was written about their unique qualities and their sense of fun drew me to them. And when
Humphrey himself came into my life I found that Pugs had all the qualities that had been written about as well as a great deal more. “I love everything about the breed and am convinced you could not find a better friend or companion. From their character to their expressions and their attitude, there is nothing quite like a Pug.” Having had my own life enriched by Mame, Jicky, and continued on page 42

MarkAndHumpfrey now Jane, three of these formidable creatures in succession, I couldn’t agree more. The artist continues: “Humphrey enjoys car rides where we go to many places for his walks, out in the woodlands, and even the seaside (although he is not keen on getting his feet wet). We’ve also gone further afield on holidays and he enjoys walking through town centers and meeting people.” Mark Wood was born in Tunbridge Wells in 1977 and continues to live there. This large town in Kent, about an hour outside of London, had at one time the reputation of being the archetypal conservative stronghold and achieved worldwide comic attention through a fictitious complaineró”Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells”ówho wrote dramatic letters to the press bemoaning the collapse of traditional values. Nonetheless, it was and is a very pleasant

place in which to live and to nurture a Pug. Mark had no formal art training, but delighted in drawingóparticularly cartoonsósince he was quite young. “Growing up,” he explains, “I really enjoyed reading UK comic magazines like The Beano and loved comic strips like Garfield, The Wizard of Id, and a UK comic strip called Beau Peep. I would have to say my favorite cartoon back then, and still to this day, is Calvin and Hobbes. I admire both the writing and fantastic artwork of Bill Watterson. As to other artists, I especially enjoy the work of David Shrigley. He works in many fieldsódrawing, photography, and sculptureóand incorporates humor into much of what he does. “I myself started sending cartoons to newspapers while I was still at school and had my
first work published in The Sun newspaper, a national publication at the age of fourteen. Once out of school, in 1993, I started drawing cartoons full time. Since then more than 4,000 of my cartoons have appeared in dozens of publications around the world.” An overview of Mark’s output can be seen on one of his websites, www.markwoodcartoonist.co.uk, but it is apparent that his creation of Humphrey catapulted his career. And it has brought him particular joy. “Drawing Humphrey’s cartoons is very special. It combines my love for Humphrey and my love for drawing all at the same time.” And with those words he has joined a select and prestigious group of artists who have immortalized Pugs in their work. There is, of course, William Hogarth and his famous selfportrait The Painter and His Pug (1745). That dog, Trump, has been said to have features resembling Hogarth’s own and that he serves, according to the Tate, “as an emblem of the artist’s own pugnacious character.” Pug fans can also name other artists of more recent vintage who have celebrated the breed: the supremely gifted Hilary Knight who gave life and a sense of humor to Kay Thompson’s Eloise and to Eloise’s Pug Weenie, the dog who looked like a cat…the

ttached you’ll find two photos of my dear Penny. In these photos, she’s “helping” Uncle Rich at the grill. Some help! She’s certainly attentive and hoping, no doubt, that one of brats on the grill might just come her way. Not! No potato salad either. She’ll have to resign herself to kibble. I have to be pretty vigilant about what she eats and how often. You know pugs - she’d keep eating as long as you shoveled the kibble in her dish. Penny is eight years old and neither a foster or a rescue. She needed a home. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to bring her into my home and love her. Wasn’t it Willa Cather (or am I hopelessly confused?) who described her dog as the little heartbeat at her feet? That’s Penny. I couldn’t bear the house without her. She’s so vital, has so much personality and heart. And she’s a talker! Oh my, does she ever give me an earful! I certainly look forward to every issue of Pug Talk. It’s thoroughly enjoyable magazine. Laurie Kunze and Penny 60
Enclosed is our renewal for another wonderful year of Pug Talk. Your articles on pug health and well bring are always excellent. We also love reading about the adventures of Queenie in Suzanne Endres column, “In A Pug’s Eye”. We see so much of our Princess Sophie in Queenie’s view of the world! They do differ on the toweling dry after a bath. as the picture shows, our Sophie enjoys her once a week spa day at home, complete with warm towel. We love our pug and we love Pug Talk. Robert & Ruth Ann Meehan Scottsdale, Arizona
Ricky & Sammy Please renew our Pug Talk. It’s always great to read about what everyone is up to and to learn more about pugs. PUG TALK - The Stud/Black/Performance Issue
Ricky, our eldest is 12 years old now. He’s still going on visits to local hospitals, assisted living facilities and juvenile detention on a regular basis. He still loves all the people, but sometimes prefers to be carried, especially down a long empty hallway. He is our love, and I feel so blessed to have him with us all these years, especially since he was born with a cleft palate. Sammy is one and a half years old now. He’s so much fun, and he makes us laugh every day. He and I are working on obedience and calm and settled. Sammy doesn’t believe in calm and settled quite yet. He loves people and spins and twirls with delight every time someone approaches. We’ll keep working on it. Sammy is looking forward to Pug Nationals this year. He is certain he will have lots of fun in the Rally ring. Ina Dunlap Eugene, Oregon ••••••••• Please renew my subscription to the wonderful Pug Talk magazine. I have included a photo of my 15 year old girl, Franki. You know,
sometimes when you get older you don’t have the best posture. But she is still a very happy and active dog. She loves everyone and is a joy to be with. M. Cooper Des Moines, Iowa
Murray & Milo
We are sad to announce the passing of our dear pug Murray in January. Murray and his older adopted brother pug, Milo were our dear boys and will be in our hearts forever. As the circle of life revolves, however, we are pleased to announce the adoption of our new pug, Mikki, who was adopted from Ohio Pug rescue in February. Mikki’s thrilling adventures are just beginning! Adriana, Brett and Mikki Columbus, Ohio

vet on June 13, 2013. We were with him until the end. It was like a ceremony. Shadow was treated with respect, and we were treated with respect. Shadow was 16 years old. Shadow]s one knee cap would go out of place many times a day and he would be in extreme pain. Shadow was “our baby”. We loved him very much and miss him every day. I hope one day soon a new pug puppy will join us. Jody and Ron Geier Hatley, Wisconsin

E
nclose is my renewal for Pug Talk and a picture of Abby and Parker, ages six and five. Please continue to include articles on pug health and natural solutions to health issues. It is so important that pug owners are aware of natural alternatives. Abby suffered with a skin issue for four months. Inflames skin, black pigment spots, severe scratching. severe hair loss, sores, etc. We tried diet change, antibiotics, antihistamines, medicated shampoos, a short dose of prednisone, among other things. My sister alerted me to a holistic animal care company in Tucson, Arizona and sent me an allergy kit. My veterinarian fully backed this trial. Within one month, the inflammation, black pigment, sores, and scratching disappeared. The hair is filling in beautifully. She is now on a maintenance dose of vitamins. Obviously this wouldn’t work for every dog/cat, but I was so thankful this option was available before I was forced to start Abby on lifelong prednisone. Please provide more articles on natural care for a variety of conditions we may face with our beloved pugs. hanks for your great magazine. Joanne Jackson Northwood, New Hampshire •••••••••• And...yet another year of Pug Talk. Our subscription will never lapse in this household! M. Schwartz Milwaukee, Wisconsin ••••••••• Please renew our subscription to Pug Talk. We have some sad news. We had to have our beloved black pug, Shadow, put to rest at the July/August/September, 2013

If you require special art, illustrations, logos, text, etc. please arrange with your own artist and send the art with your ad. PHOTOGRAPHS: We cannot guarantee printed quality of poor photos submitted. Extreme enlargements and jpeg photos generally do not reproduce well. We generally crop to judge, handler and dog—please state if you want an entire picture placed in your ad. Mark a photocopy of the picture if you want a specific crop. Send the original, uncut photo with your layout. All ad photos must be clearly marked to be returned. Address labels work better that hand writing, which leave impressions on photos and may bleed to other photos. It is assumed that all photos submitted have been properly released by the photographer for publication in this magazine for general public viewing. PUG TALK is Mac based, produced, and sent to the printer electronically. Electronic ads must composed and exported as PDF or high quality jpeg (PageMaker, Quark Xpress or PhotoShop). Ads submitted to PUG TALK in printed form (hard copies) as finished ads (camera ready) will be scanned for electronic placement. Any grayscale artwork on your printed page will reproduce better if replaced in-house from files submitted separately. Make sure art is saved in high quality jpeg or TIFF format. Scan at 300dpi.
