3 Presidents Report Hello Members, Firstly, here is hoping you and your family enjoy the festive season and don t over indulge. Looking forward to catching up in 2018 at the various events the club has organised. Its been a big year the BTCV, and I thank the committee for their hard work over the past 12 months at all the various events, from Specialty Show weekends, to Bully Walks, and the various Expos the Bull Terriers have been promoted at, thank you and keep it going into As members are aware the club ran a point score competition to encourage members to show their dogs not only at Specialty level, but at All Breeds level. The results are printed in the newsletter. Congratulations to Adam Combes and his dog, Ch Wakatang River Boy, Thor for taking out Best Dog. And to Donna Hansen and her bitch Braxstar Harlem Back Girl, Scarlett, for taking out the best Bitch. Thank you to the members who participated in this venture. Yours in sport, Lance Stephenson Secretary Report Hi Members, Thanks to all who supported our club with sponsorship of sashes and trophies for our November shows, and the raffle was a huge success! Thanks to all who bought tickets. Our recent shows went smoothly and our judges had a great time. Thanks to all who helped look after them after their appointments. Please note that our Annual General Meeting has been rescheduled to the 7 th January A reminder in the hotter weather to be careful to keep our dogs out of the sun, I still hear lots of people tell me they once had a bull terrier back in the 80 s/90 s but that it died of skin cancer. I think the incidence of these types of diseases should be reduced in today s era with a much higher awareness of the damage the UV rays cause. Also, there are some fantastic sunblock products on the market for dogs now. Have a great Christmas and new year break, and see you in Cheers Deb.

10 Vale Dear Secretary It is with regret that I inform Clubs that Mr Michael Plane "Xipheres Bull Terriers" recently passed away. Mike first showed Bull Terriers in Over the years he imported a number of dogs and bitches and made regular trips overseas to both the UK and USA either judging or visiting Bull Terrier Kennels. Mike was one of the group who initiated the Australian Bull Terrier Trophy Show in 1979 and was also instrumental in the ROM Award system. He was also the first Chairman of the National Bull Terrier Council (Australia). Whilst he hasn't judged or owned a Bull Terrier for some time, his passion for the breed never waned. I am sure that the older members of the Bull Terrier fraternity in Australia will remember Mike with great fondness, his forthright manner and his passion for the breed. Neil McCracken nomination for life membership Neil McCracken is a familiar face in the Bull Terrier world, and many have memories of Kaye and Neil over the years. A brief history: Having purchased his first Bull Terrier in the early 1980 s, Neil with help from fellow members, decided to start showing their Bully, Girvine Glacier Lass, becoming his first Australian Champion. Prior to this, Neil had bred and shown Labradors since Becoming involved in the Bull Terrier Club of Victoria, firstly on committee, and then Neil took on the role of President in Neil worked tirelessly over the years for the club, coming up with some great initiatives for members to be involved with. Promoting the breed in the media and also around the show ring. Passion for the breed is something Neil has plenty of, and has and will defend the breed to no end. Donating time, trophies and of course hospitality over the years, Both Neil and Kayes efforts are very much appreciated. They have hosted a number of judges, local and overseas, over the time, not only opening their homes up, but also showing them the sights that Victoria has to offer. The club is looking forward to welcoming Neil McCracken as a life member, and we thank you once again for all your thankless work over the years.

11 Natural Solutions for Worms in dogs and cats Greenpet has a range of natural non-toxic worming solutions for dogs, cats, horses, people and other animals. Intestinal worms are relatively common in all animals and it is necessary to control them as a heavy worm burden can cause a variety of health issues. Worming medications that can kill off parasites with one application are strong and do have side effects. Administering some of these drugs/chemicals on a regular basis such as monthly puts your pet at further risk long term, especially when you may be using some drugs that aren t even necessary. Most heartworm preventatives are chemical insecticides which also have the potential to damage your dog s health. There are safer alternatives and one of the most important preventative measures is a healthy immune system, and the best way to ensure a healthy immune system is to feed a balanced fresh raw food diet. Healthy dogs and cats have natural defences against parasites and recent studies have shown that having a small number of parasites actually reduced the risk of developing allergies and that animals kept free of all parasites had an increase in allergies. The most common worms affecting dogs and cats are: roundworms, hookworm, whipworms, tapeworm and heartworm. In most cases it is difficult to know if your animals have worms because they will not always show any obvious symptoms unless they have a large infestation. Some of the symptoms may include diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, poor coat condition, distended abdomen, lethargy, anal scooting or changes in appetite (poor appetite or ravenous). Roundworms Roundworms are large spaghetti-like in appearance and absorb nutrients from the infected animal. They live and reproduce in the small intestine. Whipworms Whipworms are threadlike and are also more common in dogs than cats. Animals may become infected by ingesting whipworm eggs from soil or other substances containing eggs. Tapeworms Tapeworms are long and flat in appearance and break off into segments. They can grow quite long in length and live in the small intestine. Dogs and cats may acquire tapeworms by ingesting an intermediate host, like an infected flea or rodent.

12 Hookworms Hookworms are short blood sucking parasites that attach to the intestinal wall and suck blood and nutrients from their host. Hookworms are more common in dogs than in cats and can cause anemia if left untreated. Heartworms Heartworm is a type of roundworm spread by mosquitoes when they bite a dog and inject immature worms, called microfilaria, into the body. The microfilaria then circulates through the body tissue taking approximately six months to reach the right side of the dog s heart where they develop into adult heartworm. Symptoms of heartworm disease may include: Coughing, intolerance to exercise, shortness of breath, weight loss, poor appetite and listlessness. Only certain mosquitoes can transmit heartworm, so by reducing your dog or cat s exposure to mosquitoes will reduce the risk significantly. It is important however to use preventative measures if you live in a high-risk heartworm area. Heartworms live in the animal s bloodstream, not the gastrointestinal tract so keeping their immune system strong is also important in reducing the risk of heartworm. Some foods that help to fight worms include: Raw grated carrot, watercress, pumpkin & pumpkin seeds, coconut, papaya, greens, fennel and apple cider vinegar. Good quality Canine/Feline Probiotics and digestive enzyme supplements also provide additional support by ensuring the gastrointestinal tract has a good balance of healthy intestinal flora to help flush out intestinal worms. Homeopathy and herbs are safe natural alternatives that may be used to help control worms in dogs and cats as well as horses, poultry, birds and people! If you do need to use a conventional wormer or heartworm medication, then it is a good idea to follow up with liver detox remedies to reduce the risk of side effects.

13 Bull Terrier Parties are more fun!

14 Christmas Bully Walk Jells Park December 17 th After having to postpone the walk due to weather, the clubs Christmas walk took place on a very hot & at a very busy Jells Park. Once again it was very well received, around 35 Bullies turned up on what was going to be a hot day, this was a fabulous effort. The committee was a bit lite on for the walk and many thanks must go to the club members who stood up and helped out. Standing in the sun cooking a BBQ, isn t anyone s idea of fun, so thanks. These walks give a fantastic outlet for members whos Bullies on limited register or who aren t interested in showing, as they know they have the prettiest Bully on Earth. The club is looking forward to new destinations for our walks next year & thank the members who come out, rain, hail or shine.

Note to Members and Breeders: Thanks to our 2017 Sponsors The Bull Terrier Club have DNA swab kits available for all breeders or owners of Pedigree bull True terriers Addiction wishing Tattoos to submit (see DNA full samples page from ad in their this animals newsletter) to Animal Health Trust. The sample kits include a contact details form and five DNA swabs. A copy of pedigree and any health information is required with DNA submission.
