4 AGILITY THIS MONTH By Karen de wit Equipment & Dog height changes. Clubs can use the new jump heights that were recently passed by DogsNZ Agility Committee. Dogs will remain in their existing categories maxi, medium, small until the new year begins in April. Any changes need to be notified to Mike Butler please. ============================ Well, this article wasn t something I expected to see in 2019! NZ's pooch population rising faster than people (Jan ) They say a dog is man's best friend and that certainly seems to be the case in New Zealand. Dog ownership has soared over the past five years, outstripping the growth in people in all the main cities apart from Auckland. The country is home to more than 560,500 registered dogs enough for about one in nine to be a proud owner. That's a pooch for roughly every third household. But where can lay claim to the title of being New Zealand's canine capital? A number of cities can put a paw in the air to take the accolade. 4 Page

5 The title, based on dogs per person, belongs to Dunedin, where the 17,465 dogs registered by the end of June last year against a population of 130,700 means there is one mutt for roughly every seven people, according to council and government figures. Hamilton will also be howling its case as the country's dogfriendliest city. Registered numbers there rocketed from 6581 in 2012/13 to 11,783 in 2017/18 a 79 per cent rise. And while Aucklanders may be wagging their tails over the fact they have more dogs than anywhere else, they are all bark and no bite their 103,000 registered dogs is a rise of less than 2 per cent on five years ago, the lowest of any of the major centres. Christchurch's dog population has risen markedly in recent years, from 34,072 registered pets in 2013 to 38,527 last year. That 13 per cent increase is higher than the 9 per cent change in residents over the same period,up from 356,700 in 2013 to 388,500 in The trend is mirrored in the country's other big cities. Dunedin, Tauranga, Hamilton and Wellington have all seen the dog numbers grow faster than the human population since But the pattern is not the same across New Zealand as a whole the 560,511 dogs registered in 2018 is up just 4.57 per cent on the 535,987 of 2013, against a 10 per cent population rise in the same period, from 4.44 million to 4.88 million. While Auckland is home to the most registered dogs, it also has the naughtiest owners. In the 12 months to June, authorities issued 5817 infringement notices equating to one in 20 dogs for everything from failing to take dog obedience courses to not keeping pets under control. Owners in Wellington were the best behaved, with infringements issued for less than one per cent of dogs. Pets in the dog house most often appear to live in Tauranga, where there were 5228 complaints in the same period against a dog population of 12, P age

19 Dogs in Bags. In many cities around the world and even in NZ, dogs can travel on public transport if they are in a bag. I love these pictures of how people have ensured their large dogs can travel in a bag. Should fireworks be banned? Not all dogs are scared of loud noises fireworks, thunder but when they are it is a very upsetting things to behold. Its not so bad if you can predict when the noise when happen ie. Guy Fawkes night, but often people seem to sture their fireworks up for other reasons such as New years eve and birthdays. Should there be a ban on sales to the public? 19 P age
