From The President David Barclay December 2012 As we end another year I recall my parents saying, Time goes faster as you get older. The club has certainly achieved much in the past 12 months, probably time to take a breather in the coming weeks. The festive season is here and an opportune time to reflect on the past 12 months of the club. The committee has met regularly and conducted several most successful events. In March we were privileged to meet Maureen Ward from the Midland Counties ATC in England, at a Fun day held at Keith & Trish Lovell s home in Gippsland. In June the club conducted two Championship Shows with international judges from Ireland followed by and an Open Show. The Bush day held at Anne & Ron Sorraghan s in St Andrews was well attended and the attendees enjoyed kind weather for the day. In the meantime the club magazine The Airedaler was produced and posted to the membership on four occasions. The addition of a colour front page is well worth the small additional cost. We imported consignments of books from Sweden that have been sought by eager buyers from around Australia. I wish to take this opportunity to thank Lars Gren (photographer and Airedale owner) for his support in arranging the shipping of the books from Sweden. If you missed purchasing this book The Airedale Terrier An Inspirational Journey into The Lives of Dogs and Their Owners orders can be placed with the club for the next consignment. A Year Book has just been completed after months of painstaking work in obtaining details from club members and the archives of Dogs Victoria container! Sue Wilson & Sue Henderson have persevered with this project and I am pleased to announce The Year Book 1991-2010 has been printed and is ready for distribution. At the realistic price of $25 plus $4 postage & packing Australia wide this is a collectors book for all Airedale and Terrier owners worldwide. Almost forgot to mention if you would like a good read over the festive season do purchase a copy of our latest book from The United Kingdom called Gasoline Gypsy A story about a young lady who rode 14,000 miles on her 125cc motorcycle across Canada, USA & into to Mexico with her Airedale on the back of her motorbike! A Great Price at just $20 plus $4 Postage & Packing Aust wide. The committee agreed we should copy all the club videos to DVD s some being over 20 years old. Recently I had a professional company copy one of the Championship shows to DVD and it was shown at the committee meeting. How we all change in 10 years! The tapes will be copied to DVD s and made available for purchase in the future. Perhaps a Theatre Nite would be the ideal way to release some of the DVD s. Watch for further details in the coming months. Social Media has come a long way with the club Facebook & Web Pages being utilised for notification of club updates and news. The club welcomes questions from current and potential Airedale Terrier owners but we are not qualified to offer assistance on health issues. By far the best advice is to go immediately to your vet and seek an expert opinion. In Australia our breed remains relatively healthy with around 27 breeders. The breed is not over popularised like many breeds. I see this week there are some Fifty Seven Litters of Staffordshire Bull Terriers listed on a web site! The SBTC Rescue people are overwhelmed with the number of their breed requiring re-homing. In the past year the club has successfully assisted just a handful of owners and or breeders with re-homing. The re-homing process introduced by the club earlier this year has worked well and we have several enquiries for mature Airedales. The AGM will be held in February 2013 and we will be seeking several committee to fill vacancies. A willingness to work with our long-term experienced committee will give you assistance to fit into the committee. The club is in a sound financial position and we will continue to focus on the Dedication, Welfare and Promotion of The Airedale Terrier. Another year is almost over and I wish to take this opportunity to extend A Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to One & All. Remember-Life is Merrier with An Airedale Terrier!

American Airedale Rescue Quilt - Fund Raiser Since 1999, members of the Airedale Internet community have gathered together in cyberspace to plan a handmade quilt made entirely by Airedalers in order to raise funds for National Airedale Rescue, an arm of the Airedale Terrier Club of America. A theme is decided upon by the group and individuals submit their design for blocks in keeping with that theme. After approval each block is then created by a quilter and when finished sent to the nominated member or members who assemble and finish the quilt. The quilt is advertised worldwide and anyone interested is able to buy tickets. The draw takes place at the Airedale Terrier Club of America National Specialty show each year. This takes place at Montgomery County Kennel Club Championship show, in Pennsylvania which is considered the Mecca of shows for terrier enthusiasts. The show is held in October each year, when breeders and enthusiasts of Airedale Terriers from all over the world make the trip to Pennsylvania to exhibit and watch the judging and take part in a multitude of activities and seminars over the weekend and share their knowledge of Airedale Terriers with like minded people. 2012 Bonus Quilts Each year in America there are many Airedales that need rescuing in the true sense of the word. A problem we are fortunate in Australia not to be facing. The majority of our rescued Airedales are in fact rehomed due to various circumstances but we rarely see one that is in need of rescue due to neglect or abuse. This year the proceeds of the pictured quilt and two others which were also raffled raised over $18,000 for Airedale Rescue in America. The lucky winner of the quilt was Sue Forrester who now has the quilt on display in The Burrow at Wombat Bend. The Committee of the Airedale Terrier Club of Victoria Inc. wish all members and their families a Very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year The Airedaler November 2012 Page 8

Maree & Geoff Carroll were the victims of an Airedale snatch & raid of the breadstick Maree had packed for their lunch at the Billabong. Maree rescued the bulk of this and tucked it safely away in her bag only to have the culprit come back and make short work of the rest.. Oh well there is always a Macca s on the way home!

The Club recently purchased some agility equipment to be used at our fun days such as the Bush and Billabong Days. The equipment was used for the first time at the Billabong Day and we arranged for an experienced Agility trainer to come along and give us a few tips. Susan MacMillian the Agility Co-ordinator from Croydon & District Dog Obedience Club came along with her Agility champion Turbo a Kelpie - an Airedale by default.. well she is black and tan. A huge thanks to Susan and Turbo for their help. Susan has sent the information about Agility Training on the next page for anyone who is interested in following it up. Contact an obedience club such as Croydon if you would like to explore this fun activity further. Secretary Sue Wilson and our guest Agility Trainer Susan MacMillian discovered they have something in common. Both share the same full maiden name, both are primary teachers and of course both have an interest in dogs! There's an Airedale in there......agh, there she is.

About Agility by Susan MacMillian Croydon & District Dog Obedience Club Understandings you need before you try agility 1. No punishing the dog. No negative words or tone you will be DQ d in the ring for those. We want to encourage the dog to work with us and 99% of the time any fault will be ours. 2. The golden rules of agility training: FAST AND FUN Decide exactly what you are going to do then play with your dog before and after your practice, run to the practice area, make it exciting for your dog! LITTLE AND OFTEN 3 to 5 minutes training several times a day PRAISE AND REWARD Be lavish with your praise and let your dog know you are happy with him, it will make him want to please you again. 3. Dogs take more notice of your body language than your words so the body language must be consistent so the dog will understand that every time you do that action it means the same thing. 4. Black and white no shades of grey! Sometimes means every time to the dog. If you require the dog to for example, wait for permission to go out the door you cannot afford to let him out the door without that permission even one time or he will assume he can go out without permission every time. 5. Rewards food and / or toys and always verbal and physical praise. You would not go to work for no pay and it is unfair to ask your dog to do so. You need to reward him within a few seconds and within a metre of his good deed. How to train the obstacles All obstacles we want to train the dog to do the obstacle safely and exactly how and when we want him to do it. We train the dog to complete the obstacle with us, ahead of us, behind us and off to the side of us. Face the way the dog is going and use the dog-side arm to indicate where you want him to go. Jumps Start the dog jumping over a bar set at the lowest height and raise it slowly. Pups should not be jumping any height at all till they are 14 months old, so set the bar and keep it at the lowest height. Most adult Airedales should be jumping 600 which is the highest. There are 2 types of jumping-extended and collected. The dog will jump in an extended fashion when he is stretched out and going fast in a relatively straight line. If you want the dog to collect himself over a jump for a turn you need to decelerate and let him know. You can use the placement of the reward to train a tight turn. You should also practise taking the jumps at an angle. Tunnels Start with the tunnel scrunched up. Get someone to hold the dog. The owner should go to the other end and call the dog to her. As the dog gains confidence, you extend the tunnel more and more until it is full length. The owner will be able to tell the dog to go through the tunnel with a word and a good arm movement. Curved tunnels when the tunnel is curved, the dog is often presented with 2 entrances. You can tell him which one to use by using a threadle arm. This is achieved by holding the opposite arm across your body and when the dog comes to that arm, feed him. Every time he sees that movement he will want to come to your arm. Use that to pull him past the nearer end of the tunnel when you want him to enter the farther entrance. Tyre as for tunnels, start with the owner calling the dog through the tyre set at its lowest. Many dogs run around or underneath the tyre so be sure to reward a good performance. Weave poles Of all the agility equipment, this is the most un-natural for the dog and the hardest to teach. It is possible to teach wonderful weaves in 2 weeks of dedicated 3 times 5 minutes daily training, but most people take months. The correct way for the dog to complete the weaves is by going in with the first pole on his left shoulder and winding through 12 poles and exiting with the last pole on his right shoulder. He should be fast and accurate and the owner should be able to be on his left or his right and get him to enter from any angle. The easiest way to teach your dog to weave is the push me-pull you method where you lure the dog towards you and then get him to move away from you through the next poles, then lure him etc. The disadvantage to this is that usually the owner is only coordinated well enough to do it on one side and it encourages the dog to be very very slow. The other way is the 2x2 method where you start with 2 poles and encourage the dog to seek them out, then add 2 poles at a time. This is a more effective method but can be difficult for an owner without a deep understanding of the does and dont s. Whichever method you use, start with 2 poles and progress to 4 where you should stay till your dog is entering from any angle and has an accurate entry. Then progress by 2s through 6, 8 etc till you reach 12. You need success at 4 before you attempt more. You are aiming at 70% success rate before you progress. Aiming higher is boring for the dog. Agility is complex and demanding but very rewarding for both owner and dog. The Airedaler November 2012 Page 17
Ever wondered why or how breeders chose their Prefix? Ros Padfield recently contacted me and suggested I include something in the Airedaler on how and why breeders chose their prefix. The following responses have been received. Tjuringa Keith & Trish Lovell Tjuringa was our first choice but I do seem to remember sending in a list a mile long as I did not want VCA to choose for me. At the time 1967 or 1968, we were living among Aboriginals and I was very involved in everything Aboriginal. We were both teaching in a Special School for Victorian Aboriginals at Lake Tyers where we lived for two years. It was from here that we started showing dogs and bred our first litter. Tjuringa is an aboriginal word meaning... very precious, to be worshipped, it involved ownership or possessiveness and has strong religious overtones. Seems absolutely perfect for such wonderful Terriers as we breed at Tjuringa Oldiron Ron & Anne Sorraghan Our prefix is easy. We really stole the idea from the Beswick Airedale model Cast Iron Monach but didn t want exactly the same. It brings up all those ideas of strength and endurance as well as the lovely greys and rusts of old iron. We breed a lot of pups called Rusty! Ingot - Wendy Prentis Our first Airedale was Old Iron Destiny (Bindi), born in December 1974, and bred by Anne and Ron Sorraghan. When registering a prefix, I wanted something that reflected Bindi s own prefix (Old Iron) and the fact that she was worth her weight in gold, as she was a great dog and marked the beginning of a long association with Airedales for us. So INGOT reflected the metallic nature of Oldiron, and the golden value of Bindi! Airewood Lyn & Colin Duff We did not have a great deal of input into selecting our prefix, the `Aire was from Airedale, and the `Wood was chosen due to were we live, there is a pine plantation close to us where we rode our horses, as our prefix for showing and breeding the horses was `Jubilee we came up with `Airewood for the dogs. Diagumsan Kellie & Clinton Miller When it came time to choose our prefix, we wanted a name that reflected the area where we grew up and now live, the central Victorian gold fields. We finally decided on Dai Gum San - this name means a lot to us as a family and also to the broader community here in Bendigo. The name originated in the gold rush of the 1850's when the Chinese miners walked from Robe in SA to what is now known as Bendigo. When they arrived the Cantonese name given to this place of riches was 'Dai Gum San' or in English 'Big Gold Mountain'. Whilst our family has no known genetic connection to the Chinese of this era, we are heavily involved in the Bendigo Chinese Association, continuing the Chinese traditions established in Bendigo's early days. We wanted to bring our two passions together and therefore we became 'DaiGumSan Airedales.' We started our breeding journey this year with our first litter in July. We have tried to continue the Chinese/ Goldfields theme through the pedigree names of the pups - DAIGUMSAN ORIENTAL CLAIM- is our bitch from this litter who has recently debuted in the show ring. Kingaire - Sue & Lindsay Henderson As Airedales are the King of Terriers something that reflected this was to us, an obvious choice. Hence Kingaire. The VCA then KCC required us to submit a list of eight choices. Kingaire was our first choice and from memory that was most fortunate. I cannot remember all of the other choices we submitted, Kinterrier was one among them. The others we felt reflected the character of the breed and I do remember Herodiamus was one choice and I m sure the others were as equally awful. They seemed OK at the time though. We bred our first litter in 1975 and the last in 2005. In all there have been 20 Kingaire litters. Belltirna - Ken & Renee Campbell Renee came up with Belltirna which is a combination of CampBELL and WantIRNA which is where we lived at the time. This prefix has recently been transferred to Sue Jolly in NSW. The Airedaler November 2012 Page 18
Yeloman - Suzanne Tennant Below is the history of my prefix which I shortened from Yellowman to Yeloman for administration purposes. At the Ould Lammas Fair boys were you ever there Were you ever at the Fair In Ballycastle-O? Did you treat your Mary Ann To some Dulse and Yellow Man At the Ould Lammas Fair in Ballycastle-O! The Ould Lammas Fair takes place in Ballycastle, Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland, (Where I was born and bred and had my first Airedale Terrier, Seamus) on the last Monday and Tuesday in August. It's one of the oldest fairs in Ireland and has been held without interruption for more than three centuries. At this fair Dulse and Yellowman have been sold for as long as the fair has been held. Dulse is a purple edible seaweed which is eaten dried. Which may I say I adore! It can also be stewed for a couple of hours and eaten as a vegetable or with oatcakes, ugh. It is not known much outside Northern Ireland Yellowman is a different matter all together. This toothsome, honeycombed, sticky toffee is traditionally sold at the Auld Lammas Fair Find below the recipe for the good old YELLOWMAN 1 lb/ 1/2 kg/ 1 1/2 cups golden or corn syrup 8oz/ 250g/ 1 cup brown sugar 1 tbsp butter (heaped) 2 tbsp vinegar 1 tbsp baking soda In a large saucepan slowly melt together all the ingredients except the baking soda. Do not stir. Boil until a drop hardens in cold water (240 F, 190 C on a sugar thermometer). Stir in the baking soda. The toffee will immediately foam up as the vinegar releases the gas from the baking soda. Pour out onto a greased slab and while just cool enough to handle fold the edges towards the centre and pull repeatedly until the whole is a pale yellow colour. Allow to cool and harden in a greased tin and break into chunks with a toffee hammer - or anything else that comes to hand! Moylarg - Pauline Lewis The Kingdom of Moylarg (Moylurg) is an area in North West Ireland where Pauline s husband Bob came from. Bushveldt Peter & Jan Hatton Our prefix became a reality in the early 1970 s. In those days we exhibited under J & P Hatton. At our first Royal Melbourne Show with Ch. Rangeaire Rani, each exhibit was benched in exhibitor alphabetical order. We, being as green as grass remained in that order from 7am to 9pm. At that stage we had become friends with Enid and Don Watkins who exhibited under their prefix, Braceland Kennels. Enid had been taught grooming by the late Jock McKay and in turn taught Jan the finer points of grooming. Back to the Royal, we decided on a prefix starting with B so we could be benched next to Enid and Don at the next Royal. Being a carpenter I wanted our prefix to be timber orientated beginning with the letter B. Blackwood, Beech, Black Butt, Brigalow (Queensland scrub) were all taken so we then came up with Bushveldt a combination of the African veldt (plains) and bush. As a result of this prefix many South African expats when making enquiries for puppies conclude Jan and I are South African. The Bushveldt prefix is still active in the show ring today. Yuile/Trumps - Sue Wilson My parents bred Wire Haired Fox Terriers in the 50's and their prefix was a combination of their christian names - Margaret and Alan for Maralan. I thought long and hard but could not come up with anything using my name - or anybody else's for that matter. So, after quite a few attempts submitting prefixes to the powers that be and being rejected I was driving along looking at street names and decided on 'Yuile' thinking a prefix starting with a letter near the end of the alphabet would be the way to go. A few years later, along with Wendy Prentis, we started a partnership breeding Smooth Fox Terriers and we quite quickly settled on 'Trumps" which seemed to go well with our top of the pack Fox Terrier Bitch. Once the dalliance with Fox Terriers had passed I transferred the Trumps prefix into my name and let the 'Yuile' prefix depart. So Trumps it is!! Cont. next page The Airedaler November 2012 Page 19
Yorkpark - David & Dianne Barclay Ever wondered why breeders chose their Prefix? cont. David & Dianne Barclay commenced breeding Airedale Terriers in the mid 1980 s. Our first female was called Nosey Parker who lived with us at a secluded bush property in Mount Evelyn. We operated a small wholesale nursery on the home property until we purchased 10 acres on York Road Mount Evelyn where we expanded the nursery. The new site was set up only for the business as we entered new agreements with major retailers. We called the property York House where our Airedales would often enjoy their time along the Olinda Creek and romping with Danny The Shetland Pony on our neighbour s farm. Macduff our office Airedale was highly popular with the buyers. He often appeared in The Herald advertisements for plants attracting many comments over several years. As we became more interested or should we say hooked in the breed we subsequently had our first litter from Nosey Parker under the now registered prefix Yorkpark. The prefix was very appropriate at the time and our Airedales were a feature at the property for many years. The prefix combined our property name and our first Airedale bitch s name- Nosey Parker. A short story about one of our Airedales who lived at the property. Teddie one of the females from the Nosey Parker litter was on guard and noticed some intruder s one evening cutting a hole in the security fence. Once the intruders were inside the property she suddenly surprised them without fear. The intruders made a run for the fence with Teddie at their heels. No plant stock was taken but we received a present of quality cutting tools left by the fence as they made their escape! Teddie greeted us the next morning with a BIG smile and much enthusiasm so it was not so difficult to know she had a busy night! Teddie was well rewarded for her efforts and remained a talking point for many years. Our first two litters came from Nosey Parker producing Teddy Bear & Ch Yorkpark Clancy Bear. Our second and third litters were bred as Yorkpark Pinto because our new Swedish import Ch.Pinto Wish Upon a Star whelped a litter of l0 in quarantine. Russin was bred to Swedish Ch.Malmangen Stranger in Paradise with many of these puppies going on to become champions and certainly the backbone to our breeding program. Ch.Pinto Wish Upon a Star second litter was just as exciting for us when she delivered l0 puppies from frozen semen insemination in l992 by the American, International Champion M.J. StroneRidge Chosen One. This dog was a multi BIS and winner of A.T.C.A. Bowl. Once again many of this litter became champions with two puppies sent back to Sweden. Both these exports had exemplary show careers and were great producers in Sweden. A combination of these breedings produced Aust & USA CH.YORKPARK TZARAH who is currently in the USA and took us to great heights in the USA show ring. David & Dianne continue to enjoy the breed after some 35 years since purchasing our first Airedale from one of the clubs most dedicated members, namely Lorna Schuster of Hillmere Kennels who was located in Heathmont. How time flies! Blessings. Great and small There will be plenty of horsing around at the animal blessing service in Eltham this weekend. The Rev. Clem Taplin said St. Margaret s Anglican Church had held the event for more than 20 years. Unusual animals she has blessed include dingoes, a diamond python and a mouse. although not at the same time. The snake stayed in his box at the back, Ms Taplin said. I ve never had any real trouble, the animals seem to settle once they re inside. From the Diamond Valley Leader October 10th 2012.

Remember. With both the festive season and the summer upon us it is time to be on the look out for seasonal hazards to your Airedales. Christmas decorations, rich and fatty food, cooked bones, chocolate and some nuts and fruits can all be an issue if your dog eats them. No one should need reminding that with the warm weather arriving we need to ensure our dogs always have shade, cool fresh water available and should not be left in cars even with the windows down. Fireworks and thunder storms are not uncommon at this time of the year and these too may cause your Airedale a considerable amount of distress. You need to take precautions to ensure the dog is safe if your area is affected. Flies are starting to make their presence known. There are many preparations you can use to help keep these away from your dogs. According to my Vet one of the best preparations to repel flies is Advantix if you don t mind using this type of treatment. Keep an eye on the dog s ears, they seem to be a favourite place for flies.

A year of living hilariously!! I have always wanted an Airedale. It was the haircut, the strut and the slightly cheeky air about them that drew me in. Only I had also heard that they are notoriously difficult to train and not for the inexperienced dog handler. So I waited. I did a bit of research. Internet sources provided a host of rather alarming, charming and hilarious stories to thrill the would-be owner. One story has come to resonate strongly with my experience of an Airedale. That story, the details I forget now, ended with a cautious note that most normal people think that the fun an Airedale owner has is actually pretty crazy I thought the story was hilarious so I figured I was probably making the right choice in getting an Airedale. by Meg Surmon wagged his tail, looked pleased as punch about the shenanigans and hopped lightly from the table top. Then I found them both investigating the kitchen sink which got them both into a lot of trouble. Only a couple of days later I heard Chewie whimpering outside the kitchen only to find he was dobbing on the cat for being in the sink again! His other fetish is for toilet paper. Not exclusively Labrador territory it would seem. So he cannot be trusted with an open toilet door, which happens at work occasionally. Chewie comes to work with me and has on many occasions been found From the Airedale Club of Vic website I visited Di and David Barclay. Having met Di and her dogs the decision was made and eventually Chewie made his way home with me. He was named after one of my favourite movie characters, Star Wars Chewbacca (really showing my age!). It somehow seemed fitting. The Chewbacca character has a great sense of humour, he is loyal and courageous in his devotion to his family, he is clever and has a tan coat! What I didn t realise at the time was just how fitting this description would be. What I hadn t figured on was that calling him Chewie has come to be a self fulfilling prophesy he loves to chew EVERYTHING!!!! There are two sisters at home with Chewie. A moggy, Meti and a Maine Coon called Pip. I was warned that a terrier would chase and molest the cats. Well, he does and he has come off second best every time with Pip who is large and just a tad scary for a cat. However, he and Meti are great mates although the play can be a bit rough for her at times. However they make mischief together. I get up very early for work and Chewie is usually a morning person, so when he is quiet I start getting worried. When a stunning silence fell very early one morning I went hunting for him, expecting him to be up to no good. I crept around the door jamb to check the dining room after a sweep of the rest of the house. SPRUNG!!!! I caught him and his sister, standing on the dining room table!! My first reaction was to muffle my laughter. Really, it was hard to be angry at them when she would have encouraged him up and he is just in love with her and would do whatever she was doing. I had to growl at them but he flinging (and I mean flipping them in the air again and again) a 12 pack of toilet rolls around the courtyard with playful abandon. There is no way anyone could be mad at him if they saw the fun he was having with a simple toilet roll or two or ten. His other fetish is a broom or anything resembling a broom, vacuum cleaners and FOOD. Training has been tough but not impossible. I was told that you cannot train an Airedale with force and that has rung so true with Chewie. Although he has to be told everything three times, he does get it and he won t be pushed around, it The Airedaler November 2012 Page 22
just seems to tick him off and he digs his heels in. But, adopting a harsh tone and a serious manner seems to be enough, it seems as though I have to give him the impression I believe he will do the right thing and I am waiting for him to respond. However, this has to be repeated many times before we have a response that makes us both happy. I have been reading a book about the development of the domestic dog and it suggests that dogs make decisions based on how much they really want something and how much you (owner) really want something too. So they don t want a conflict, they just really want the toilet roll and believe they want it more than you don t want them to have it. I see this in Chewie all the time, sometimes he seems to give up on things really quickly, it just isn t worth the fight and he does not want an argument, at other times he thinks it is worth the tussle until it isn t and he gives up (and you think you have won!!!). I have noticed he is intensely curious about everything and I worry one day curiosity will do him harm! A leaf blowing along the footpath, a child sneezing, your socks, your bag, your ears, an open cupboard, a hairbrush, a stick are all endlessly interesting to him, which I just love because it means he is up for anything! All games are fun, he is happy to be doing just what you are (help digging in the garden is fabulous ), there is potential for fun everywhere. I have noticed he investigates things with him mouth and feet. Chewie s dexterity is amazing and he often paws things over and around to get an idea of what they are. He will also pick up things in his mouth to understand it and then drops it without biting into it or breaking it. I wonder if these are common Airedale traits. Chewie has proven himself to be quite a hit with the older members of my neighbourhood and around work. I would love to know if other Airedale owners hear a senior in the street exclaim Oh it s an Airedale, I haven t seen an Airedale in years. We grew up with one Quite lovely to have had so many opportunities to chat with seniors about the Airedale memories they have. Many get quite misty eyed about the lovely dogs they shared a childhood with. is absolutely gorgeous, the leader of mischief if any is to be found and a great companion. Thanks to the Club for being so supportive and welcoming to a novice owner. Club members Guv Roberson, his BFF (Best Fur Friend), and Guv s humans Jan and Greg, have proven to be great friends, offering much advice and support in this first year and Chewie and I are looking forward to many more years. Happy toilet roll hunting!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So my expectations of owing an Airedale have been met and exceeded in this first year. Chewie The Airedaler November 2012 Page 23
The journey of an Editor! Sue Henderson Like many other people, when the matter of producing another Year Book was raised my eyes too glazed over. This matter kept coming up year after year over the past ten years or so and always ended up in the too hard basket. It was blindingly obvious that no-one wanted to take on the task and of course every year we delayed the task became bigger. Eventually I put my hand up to be Editor of our fourth book, I figured someone had to take the plunge. While I did, to a degree, know what I was taking on as I was involved in producing the first two Year Books we did, there was a steep learning curve to follow. A decision was made to include the details up to the end of 2010 which does leave our record two years out of date but that is far better than 20 years out of date. We also decided that we would not include articles or advertisements in this book. The reason being that there was so much information to be included and we needed to look at this book as a link between the last book and the next. It was important for the Club records to be brought up to date or nearly up to date. As far as not including advertisements it was felt that there was no one who had the expertise to do these at this time and past experience also told those who had worked on pervious books that the advertising was the most time consuming section and created the most contention. On previous occasions a Sub committee had been formed to work on the books, this time it was just Me and whoever I could coerce into assisting. So, having committed myself to the task my first move was to ask breeders and owners to forward me information about their dogs that had gained titles or won awards. Not a lot was forthcoming and so I needed to set to and find it myself. Fortunately over the past several years I had built up my own data base of Victorian Airedale Terrier titles and show catalogues from ATCV shows and at sometime I was able to purchase a copy of the ANKC breed data base which has been a valuable source. Unfortunately I believe this is no longer available as a breeder from another state and breed objected to these records being available to anyone who wished to purchase them. Having this information to hand I revisited breeders and owners and put to them a list of their dogs that I had a record of gaining titles and requested verification. This produced slightly better results than my first attempt. I m sure people simply did not quite know how to find much of the information requested as the time frame was so long. Of course this was only scratching the surface as many owners and breeders were no longer contactable for many reasons. Then there was the matter of finding photos for the book. Fortunately we live in an electronic world and this did make things much easier. Ron Sorraghan was able to source many photos of not only his own dogs but of many others through his time as Airedaler Editor. Di Barclay and Ken Campbell were also sources of many useful photos together with photos of their own dogs and to each of these people I give my thanks. Old catalogues and past copies of The Airedaler proved a valuable source for our show results and most of these I either had or could find someone who would lend me one. For the few I could not source through other means I contacted the VCA for their assistance. The response was that the catalogues would be in the VCA archives and if I liked to go and see them I could look through the archives myself. Well, what an experience that was. Rather than the well organised room of material that I expected to find Sue Wilson and I were directed to a shipping container behind the car park at KCC Park. Even this did not prepare us for what we were to see when the doors were opened. Boxes upon boxes of broken boxes from floor to ceiling in no order albeit each was labelled. I guess one must be grateful for small mercies. Miraculously we did find the missing catalogues and replaced them so they will be there for anyone else who wants them, although I was sorely tempted to bring them home. Having exhausted my resources and still having many gaps the next stop was the VCA Library. Sue Wilson and I spend a few sessions there going through old Canine Association Gazettes from all the States in order to verify and find titles that were to be included. I think Sue was glad when the school holidays were over and she had an excuse not to continue multi weekly visits to the library. I lost count of how many hours I spent over many weeks at the library, which is a very useful resource, but was sometimes there three times in a week. One thing that I was unable to source anywhere was marked Royal Melbourne Show catalogues. Please, someone attending the Royal take the time to mark a catalogue or at least record and report the results of the Airedale Terrier judging. The Airedaler November 2012 Page 24
Eventually it seemed as though the collection of data was complete, or as complete as I could make it and the next task was to actually put it all together. That was where I came to a halt. The last time I was involved in publishing a Year Book we collected the material and put it in the order it was to be printed and took it all to the printer who did everything else. Our next task was to check it over before printing and then collect the finished book. In this day of technology, it no longer works like that and here was my problem. Fortunately I was able to discuss the project with the people at Snap where I have The Airedaler printed and ask them how to proceed. The answer was just do what you are doing with the Airedaler. While it was not quite that simple it did give me a starting point and from that I was able to put together the book we have today. With things well on the way it was time to find a printer to print the book. Again decisions needed to be made. I knew the size the book would be but what sort of paper would be used? Would it be printed in black and white or colour, or even a combination of both? What binding should be used? How many copies should be printed? And so on. I was fortunate to have ex member Paul Clarke agree to design a cover for the book and Paul was able to liaise directly with the printer to provide the material in the professional format required which I would not have been able to do. I visited six printers seeking quotes for the job and within 24 hours I had three quotes each of which I was pleasantly surprised with. Another quote arrived a week later and I never did hear from the other two. After discussion in a committee meeting David Barclay and I visited one of the printers (whose quote was significantly less than the others) to discuss the matter and were happy to be able to accept the quote after seeing samples of the work they do and discussing our requirements. Having accepted the quote it was just a matter of me finishing off the book and transferring the file to an acceptable format for the printer (no one likes Microsoft Publisher). The day after I took the completed file to the printer I had the book back in proof form for a final proof reading before the print run went ahead. How many times can one read something and still find mistakes the next time it is read? I m sure I and other proof readers have missed many mistakes and omissions but hopefully they will be minor ones. There is nothing quite like the satisfaction of seeing the final, professionally printed, result of one s labours. With the book now complete I have noted many things that could be done better or would make things easier for the next book. The most obvious and important one of these is that material MUST be collected as we go. Breeders and owners must take responsibility for notifying and providing relevant details to the Secretary. The Secretary or nominated member MUST ensure this happens. Timelines are also important. Very few of the deadlines I set were met and this in effect means this book is about eight weeks later being released than I had planned. When one has waited over 20 years this is probably not significant, however, the task has impacted hugely on my life for a large part of this year and those extra eight weeks are significant to my own commitments. I now feel a little like someone who has just lost their job, going from spending working hours or more week in and week out for months on the project to now that it is all finished having all that time on my hands. I guess I could start on the next one! My sincere thanks go to: Sue Wilson - who assisted me in many ways, shared my enthusiasm and found many photos Ron Sorraghan, Dianne Barclay and Ken Campbell for providing many photos and information Paul Clarke for the cover design Wendy Prentis for proof reading the book The Committee for their confidence in allowing me a free hand in producing the book.

Science Daily Pain Of Dysplasia In Dogs Relieved With Gold Treatment, Study Shows ScienceDaily (June 29, 2009) Many animals and people experience chronic joint pain. In dogs, a common source of joint pain is hip dysplasia, a developmental defect of the hip joint. Implantation of gold into the soft tissues around the hip joints of dogs with dysplasia can relieve pain and lessen stiffness for several years Joint pain in animals and man may be due to injury, wear or deformity. Hip dysplasia of dogs is a congenital defect that makes itself known during the growth phase, leading to varying degrees of pain and loss of function as the dogs age. Dog owners will as a rule notice that their dogs are reluctant to jump, that they lag behind on longer walks, or that they are stiff and sore when standing after resting. Some dogs also become lame after longer walks. Early in the 1970's, an American veterinary surgeon and acupuncturist described a form of pain relief in dogs that involved implanting small grains of pure gold into acupuncture points round painful joints in dogs. The theory behind the treatment was that the gold grains implanted into the acupuncture points would provide chronic stimulation of the points. The method has been used both on dogs and people in the USA and Europe, although no scientific documentation of the pain-relieving affect of gold-implants existed. Gry Tove Jæger has in her doctorate investigated whether grains of metallic gold implanted around painful joints could reduce pain and improve function in patients, using dogs as a model. Family dogs with pain and loss of function due to hip dysplasia were chosen as experimental animals. The dogs were divided randomly into two groups, one of which received gold transplants, while the other acted as control. Neither the owner nor the veterinarian assessing the affect of the gold treatment knew which group an individual dog belonged to. This is called double-blind experimentation. The study was designed to provide an answer to whether gold implantation had an effect or not, and any possible acupuncture effect was not considered. After six months the effect of the treatment was considered. Statistically-significant differences were shown to exist between the two groups. The dogs with implanted gold had less pain and loss of function compared to those that had not received gold. As was expected, the dogs in the control group also improved, but the effect was greater in those that had received gold. The dogs were followed for a further year and a half. After two years, 80% of the dogs still showed a positive effect of treatment. The hip dysplasia had not improved, and many dogs showed in fact an increased degree of calcification round the affected hip joints, but they lived better after the gold treatment. An inflammatory response was shown to have developed around the grains of gold, which may possibly explain in part the pain-relieving effect. Implantation of gold is an effective treatment for chronic degenerative joint disease and the method has few serious side-effects. This study could not uncover if part of the effect was due to acupuncture, to the gold lying in the soft tissue, or to a combination of the two. Cand. med. vet. Gry Jæger defended her Ph. D. thesis, entitled "The effect of gold bead implantation in a dog model with chronic joint arthritis - a method of pain control", at the Norwegian School of Veterinary Science, on May 29, 2009.
