Special meeting please note the date change and location. TONI WOODS: LA SALLE, GARDENA UPCOMING SHOWS South Bay Kennel Club Aug 13-14, 2016 North High Torrance PROGRAM: SBKC Dog Show meeting. Pot Luck. PREZ SEZ Simi Valley Kennel Club Santa Barbara Kennel Club Los Encinos Kennel Club Aug 26-29, 2016 Earl Warren Showgrounds Gary is getting the newsletter out on time, so entries Santa Barbara won t be closing until this message is long completed and ed! We have our fingers crossed for a strong entry each day.there will be some changes at the school, the only thing certain there is that nothing is certain. I did go scope out the grounds just yesterday and it looks pretty good. I was supposed to meet with Ryan, but apparently our wires got crossed and no meeting of the minds has happened yet. It s certainly good news to me to see that the fields are green as of this week. All in all, the ground seemed is good condition I think they are actually watering there periodically, which would account for the greenness! As I say at this point pretty much every year, this is the time for everyone to pitch in and make our show as great as we possibly can, a terrific experience for everyone! A few changes in the works for this show a couple of our judges opted to come into Long Beach instead of Los Angeles and we are fortunate to have members who offered to make the trek to Long Beach to pick up on Friday. As anyone who has been to LAX lately can attest, Long Beach almost certainly has to be easier to get in and out of. Net time on the road will probably be the same! So thanks to Gary and Cheryl for volunteering for that! As was previously published, the meeting for this month will be ontuesday, August 9 th at my house, La Salle Ave, Gardena, CA at2:00pm. We ll do a range of pre-show tasks, including
2 judges hospitality bags, ring steward boxes and packaging trophies..lots to do, but it will be a fun time, I promise, remember to bring whatever kind of goodies you want for our pot luck make it snack like, lunch like or desert like. We ll try everything! As usual, set up will be on Friday at the school. Ryan and the Empire Staffing guys will be there, as well as my nephew, Tony, to set up rings, mow the grass and get everything set up for the big event. And Larry will be there working on getting hospitality set up. Thanks to everyone for all you are about to do! See you at my house on Tuesday, Aug 9 th at 2pm!

It was a wonderful Sunday morning at the Southern California Sporting Dog Fanciers Show on June 26 th where we showed under judge Richard Lopaschuk. My boy, Henrik, won Best of Winners and finished his Championship and is now CH FoxRun JavaHill Swedish Golf Boss CGC. Not to be left out, his sister, Inbee, won Winners Bitch to earn 2 points. She is now 4 points and 1 major away from earning her CH. It is hard to believe that these puppies that I co-bred will be two years old at the end of August!
4 Henrik also earned his first agility Q at the Agility Club of San Diego agility trial on Saturday, July 16 under judge Don Farage. It was a great trial and we had lots of fun! He loves agility! Lia Raitt Kelcie (Classic Affinity Keeping It Real) won Best of Breed at the Long Beach Kennel Club Show on June 25th. Marilyn Day IS IT SAFE FOR DOGS TO DRINK OUT OF COMMUNAL WATER BOWLS? Dr. Jerry Klein, Chief Veterinary Officer of AKC, AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB June 28, 2016
5 It is common these days to see bowls of water for dogs outside of shops or coffee houses. Fountains in parks are also commonly used for our dogs when they are out and about. There has been some concern lately regarding the safety of dogs drinking out of communal bowls or fountains. However, there are actually very few communicable diseases that are spread directly by mouth. Contagious diseases in dogs are more commonly spread in other ways. Many intestinal pathogens (such as parvovirus and roundworms) are spread through fecal-to-oral transmission. These organisms won t spread in a communal water bowl unless there is fecal contamination in the bowl. Many other infectious diseases are spread through the respiratory tract. For instance, the pathogens that cause kennel cough and canine influenza are passed during coughing or sneezing. But if an infected dog sneezes on or near the bowl, there is the potential for other dogs to be exposed to these respiratory pathogens. The canine papilloma virus (which causes a minor, selflimiting syndrome in dogs) can spread through saliva. If your dog has a healthy immune system it is not likely that he will contract a serious disease from a shared water bowl. PUPPY HEALTH CONCERNS AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB June 10, 2015 New dog owners should take the time to learn the signs of potential health problems that might develop as a puppy matures into an adult dog. Here are some of the conditions to watch for: ALLERGIES In dogs, allergies often show up as skin conditions, itchy ears, head-shaking, scratching, or bald or raw spots, though they can also cause runny eyes and nose, sneezing, coughing, vomiting, and diarrhea. Dogs can be allergic to many of the same things people can: dust, pollen, grasses, mold, flea bites, and many foods. If you think your dog has an allergy, talk to your vet about how to determine what she s allergic to and what you can do. ANAL SAC CONDITIONS Anal sacs are tiny organs, on either side of the lower half of the dog s anus, which produce a liquid thought to help dogs mark their territory. The ducts that lead from the sacs to the anus can become blocked or infected. If your dog starts scooting his bottom along the ground and licking his anus, this may be the reason. Your vet can clear the ducts or show you how to squeeze the
6 glands yourself. BLOAT Gastric dilatation volvulus is a very serious condition that can rapidly kill an otherwise healthy dog. The stomach inflates (usually with gas or fluids) beyond its normal size, twists around, and can press on the major arteries of the torso, disrupting blood flow, and sending the dog into shock. It can be precipitated by exercise two or three hours after a large meal or drinking large amounts of water. Signs include distended abdomen, excessive drooling, dry retching, restlessness, and depression. Signs of shock are weak pulse, rapid heart rate, pale gums, or short, rapid breathing. If you suspect bloat or shock, take your dog to the vet immediately. Large breeds and breeds with deep chests tend to be susceptible. Feed your dog several small meals throughout the day and restrict water intake and exercise soon after eating. COLITIS Colitis is an inflammation of the colon or lower bowel and has many different causes, from bacterial infections to allergies. Since causes vary, so do symptoms and treatments. Generally, you might see feces with mucus or blood in it, bloody diarrhea, or unproductive straining after passing feces. Severe dehydration can kill a dog quickly, so immediate veterinary care is crucial. DIABETES When the body stops making insulin or stops responding to it, it can no longer process sugars in the blood efficiently. The kidneys will release sugar into the dog s urine, which makes her urinate more and have to drink more. The primary symptoms of diabetes are excessive drinking and urination, sometimes accompanied by weight loss despite increased appetite, or blindness or numb limbs. Treatment is available, and early detection is crucial. DYSPLASIA Usually in the hip or elbow, dysplasia is a deterioration of the joint. A loose or ill-fitting joint will cause damage and a resulting immune response within the joint. Stiff movement, pain or slowness getting up, or swollen joints are symptoms. Consult your breeder and vet about the possibility of dysplasia and what can be done to help. EPILEPSY Dogs can have seizures just like people, and the causes can be varied. There are several stages of a seizure, which in dogs are generally expressed (to varying degrees) in these ways: changes in mood or behavior, sometimes for several days before a seizure; the aura, which signals the start of the seizure, can include nervousness, whining, trembling, salivation, excessive affection, wandering, restlessness, hiding, and general apprehension; the seizure itself, lasting a few seconds to a few minutes, in which the dog may fall to the ground, lose consciousness, gnash teeth, thrash his limbs, bark, paddle his feet, and lose control of his bladder and bowels; and the anelean stage, after the seizure, in which the dog may pace, become temporarily blind or deaf, and eat or drink excessively. If you suspect your dog may have had or be having a seizure,
7 consult your vet. HEART DISEASE There are many types of heart disease, but symptoms to watch out for include coughing, weight loss, pale mucous membranes, palpable vibrations of the chest wall, exercise intolerance, episodes of passing out, accumulation of fluids anywhere in the body, and abnormal heart sounds such as a heart murmur. OBESITY Obesity is just as dangerous for dogs as it is for humans. Fat dogs are at higher risk in surgery, more prone to injury, as well as to metabolic disorders such as diabetes, and have more stress on their heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, stomach, intestines, and joints. Consult your vet about a reasonable diet for your dog LIST OF OFFICERS & DIRECTORS President: Toni Woods Vice President: Mike Lekov Secretary: Marilyn Day Treasurer: Larry Kittiver Show Chairman: Toni Woods Assist.
