As you may have noticed the BC Branch is up and running again and I look forward to hearing good things from this group led by Debra Love (formerly Long). The North Western Ontario Branch is hosting the National Specialty in Thunder Bay, Ontario on June 24th, 2010. There are 7 sets of points available as there are 6 All Breed Shows over the weekend. Cora Lee and her committee have planned an awesome weekend for participants and I apologize in advance for being unable to attend as I will be at the World Dog Show in Denmark. Spring has arrived and the excitement of the show and trial season has begun for many. Members are dreaming of big wins in the show ring for promising puppies and stellar performances of highly trained athletes in obedience and agility. A lot of this activity will see some fierce, but what I would like to see as friendly competition. The owners and dogs that experience the highest percentage of wins will be those who generally have worked the hardest, grooming and training their dogs. I have always been a proponent of what I term "Creative Competition" which sees exhibitors work hard in creative fashion rather than an unsportsmanlike or negative attitude. The old adage the 'cream rises to the top' is never more evident when those who work the hardest in a sportsmanlike fashion are successful. Those who constantly bicker about the success of others and behave in an unsportsmanlike fashion will continue to squalor in their mediocrity and never reach their true potential. Learning 'to accept our losses as graciously as we do our wins' will go a long way to demonstrate some mutual respect for our fellow competitors and their efforts. Looking forward to seeing you at the shows... Richard Paquette, President CSTC wenrick@wenrick.ca On behalf of the CSTC Central Branch we are putting a 2011 calendar together.

Harfield Submitted by Richard Paquette The trip to China was one we had both looked forward to for a long time as it was somewhere neither of us had travelled to before and was the country of origin of our breed, the Shih Tzu. I had looked for any information on the breed at a Chinese museum in Taiwan the last time I judged there, but had found nothing, not even a photograph of any type of dog. We would also be going to Beijing to the Forbidden City to look for any history on Oriental breeds and also to climb on the Great Wall of China. We flew into the city of Shenzhen in southern China, where I would be judging at the South China Kennel Club Show. We were met at the airport by our translator for the weekend, Stephanie and were quite pleased to discover that fellow Canadian judge Jack Ireland was also on the panel. Shenzhen was quite warm, 22 degrees C and the first day we did some sightseeing at a cultural village park, where the history of the various ethnic groups are exhibited in an outdoor setting which allows for displays of architecture and lifestyle. It was a beautiful setting and quite educational. That evening we were taken to an authentic Tibetan restaurant owned by our host and club President Mr. Lee Kin Sun and other members of the show committee. The specialty served is Yak as well as many other typical Tibetan dishes.....VERY DELICIOUS!!!! The following day Jack was judging and we were taken to a shopping mall where anything you desired was available in various qualities of knock-off. It was a jam-packed menagerie of stalls teeming with products and everyone beckoning you to shop at their stall. Quite overwhelming at first but we soon got the hang of it. Bartering is the way to go and with Stephanie’s guidance, we quickly understood the routine. Ask the price, then offer less than half, giving yourself room to go slightly up. We were amazed at what we were able to purchase for little to nothing. The dog show was held under the aupices of China National Kennel Club CNKC and was similar to CKC or AKC format with Winners dog and Winners female being awarded. Jack selected for his Best In Show winner a striking Siberian Husky owned by Guo Qiang. The next day I was judging and the weather was slightly overcast. The venue was very well laid out with covered rings and ample room for the judging and exhibitors. The show was well organized and ran like clockwork. I found the dogs to be well presented and of good quality. There was only one Shih Tzu entered called Ch Eastern Magic City Hunter owned by Wu Guang Qiang. He was quite a nice specimen of the breed, showed well and had an awesome temperament. My Best Puppy In Show winner was a precocious Pekingese. Best In Show was a stunning Pomeranian named Ch. Dynasty’s Star Gem the Sky and owned by Wu Guang Qiang. Reserve Best In Show was a handsome Chow. We returned to the Tibetan restaurant for dinner that evening and bid farewell to our hosts, including Mr. Lee Kin Sun, club President, Stephanie, our translator and new friend and Jack as we were leaving in the morning to explore the city of Beijing in Northern China. It was quite a shock, temperature-wise once we arrived, as we had left a balmy 20+ degrees to dis- cover -9 degrees but we were excited to see the sites we had been dreaming of visiting. Our hotel was a converted Opera House and which still offered a traditional Chinese Opera show. We bought tickets for that evening’s performance which gave you an opportunity of pre-show viewing of the makeup application. The Chinese Opera is a mixture of mime-like acting and acrobatics which we found quite spectacular. We had arranged to do an organized three day tour which we felt was the easiest way to see everything in the time we had allowed. We were picked up at our hotel in the morning and firstly taken to the Temple of Heaven. The Temple was built in 1420 A.D. during the Ming Dynasty to offer sacrifice to Heaven. It is now a public park area where people gather to exercise, play games, meditate and listen to local musicians. Our next stop was Tiananmen Square, where you can visit Tiananmen Tower, Monument to the People’s Heroes, Great Hall of the People, Mao Zedong Memorial Hall and see the national flag raising ceremony. At the north end of the Square is Tiananmen Tower. Initially built in 1417 during the Ming Dynasty, the Square was the front door of the Forbidden City. The most important use of it in the past was to declare in a big ceremony to the common people who became the emperor and who became the empress. Until 1911 when the last feudal kingdom was over, no one could enter the Tower except for the royal family and aristocrats. As we walked into the Forbidden City, we were overwhelmed with the history. This was one of the main items on my “Bucket List” and I was in awe. There has been a lot of work done to restore the City and it is still continuing but it is amazing that, after all this time, rooms are preserved in the exact way they were last inhabited. Furniture, bedding, ornaments are as they were hundreds of years ago. Evidence of damage from feuds are evident and it was surreal to walk the courtyards where emperors and their dynasties had walked before us. As I had found no evidence of small, Shih Tzu-type breeds in any literature or art I had looked through in Asia before, I was determined and positive I would find something here, as the Shih Tzu had originated here and was royalty owned and controlled. We entered several book stores filled with artifacts and mementos but nowhere was any evidence of dogs. I enlisted the help of our translator as she would be able to read Chinese and may find something I could not. Finally in a little bookstore off to the side, she found a small book with an excerpt stating the Empress Dowager Cixi had a kennel of about 100 small dogs in the southwest section of the Forbidden City. Attached to the text was a photo of several people including the Empress and at her feet, was a small coated dog. It went on to further say, she was given a large breed dog and eventually emptied her kennel in favour of the new breed. Finally, I had found evidence of our breed and its origin. Our next stop was the Summer Palace. Constructed from 1115-1911, it had become a luxurious royal garden providing royal families with rest and entertainment. Containing examples of the ancient arts, it also has graceful landscapes and magnificent constructions. The Summer Palace is the archetypal Chinese garden, and is ranked amongst the most noted and classical gardens of the world. Here we travelled the longest corridor in the world and I found more evidence of dogs in the paintings that adorned the walls and ceilings, although these were all of a hound-type origin. The next day, we were off to the Great Wall of China, an- other “Bucket List” item and on the way, we stopped at a jade museum and factory. Jade is a very important part of Chinese culture and many women wear jade bangles for life on their left arm for luck. The Great Wall, one of “the New Seven Wonders of the World”, did not disappoint and was aweinspiring. It winds up and down across deserts, grasslands, mountains and plateaus, stretching approximately 8,851.8 kilometres from east to west of China. With a history of more than 2000 years, some of the sections are now in ruins or have disappeared. The thought of the hardship endured to build this magnificent structure was amazing and although warned of the difficulty, we walked along it for as far as we were allowed, with parts of it being very steep, taking 1 1/2 hours to complete. We next ventured to the Ming Tombs where the Emperors were buried. This covers a vast amount of land and which, interestingly, has been largely left alone. Several tombs have yet to be discovered and remain buried and unknown of their contents. A stop at a silk factory on the way back to our hotel was very interesting. The process was demonstrated with the opportunity to have a try and many products were available made on site of which Wendy purchased a silk duvet. The next day we were on our own and took a taxi to the site of the 2008 Beijing Olympics and later a functioning temple where Buddhist monks continue to worship and offer comfort to those seeking it. We participated in the ceremony of saying a prayer and burning incense which was easily purchased from stands on the streets. Our last day in Beijing was a leisurely walk in our hotel’s vicinity. We had a late afternoon flight and so used our morning to take in more of this amazing city’s heritage. It is a complete blend of the old and the new. Several ancient areas remain enclosed in walled sections in the middle of a busy metropolis area. We ventured into one of these areas and were transported into days gone by. Stands of produce, nuts, meat and other wares teemed from storefronts. Narrow paths between buildings led to the unknown. Everyone was very friendly and we wandered until we came out into a modern shopping area Qianmen Dajie, which was full of boutique shopping, cobblestone streets and a Starbucks! China was certainly a lifetime experience and one we would love to revisit. Thank you to our hosts for an unforgettable trip. Richard Paquette & Wendy Anderson Additional photos and text can be found at www.winterholmeunlimited.com Author Dr. Sheena McKeegan DVM Most often our first impression of dogs is their eyes - "look how cute - oh he is so expressive!" Eyes are the window to the soul and can tell us so much about our pets - are they happy or sad; excited or depressed, healthy or sick or in pain. One of the most common comments when a pet is presented at the hospital is "Doc I don't know what's wrong - he's just not right and his eyes are all goopy!" I would like to give a quick overview of the many problems we can see with eyes and their surrounding structures and go into more depth on specific subjects in future articles if requested. The most visible problems we see with eyes are traumatic and can be caused by external forces or be genetic in origin. Presenting signs are usually blepharospasm (excessive blinking) or eyelids tightly closed and matted with excessive greenish mucus or excessive tears wetting and staining the face. In all instances obtain veterinary advice ASAP to avoid severe secondary consequences. The most important first aid is to keep the eyelids clean of all mucus and apply a mild lubricating eye cream (no steroid) recommended by your veterinarian and in your first aid kit. (we'll talk about a first aid kit in a future article). Generally foreign bodies such as dust, grass awns or garden bushes cause the majority of scratch injuries with the potential to cause pain and ulceration or even rupture of eyeball. Other cause of eye irritation include eyelashes that grow in the wrong direction (dictiiadid), long hairs that grow from the corners of the eyelids and lay across the eyes as well as just rubbing the eyes (self excoriation due to allergies). Tear production can also cause problem - too much causes continual wetness of the face and wet eczema and infection whereas too little tear production causes 'dry eye' and damaged corneas due to lack of proper lubrication when blinkinga very painful condition. Sometimes tear production is normal but the tear ducts become blocked and have to be flushed open to allow proper drainage into the sinus cavities. When eyes are irritated over a long period of time there is a small gland in the third eyelid that can become inflamed, swollen and pops up to be a little red lump at the inside corner of the eye giving rise to the term 'cherry eye'. Generally, this needs surgical correction. Another consequence of long term irritation is a condition called pannus - an infiltration of dark pigment into the layers of the cornea that unless checked quickly can cause permanent irreversible blindness. Because glaucoma (increased pressure) and cataracts (opacity of the lens) occur frequently in humans also, usually we recognize these conditions in our pets too. Early onset of juvenile cataracts or glaucoma in our pets can indicate more serious health problems such as kidney or heart failure or diabetes or even some infectious disease such as hepatitis. One of the most devastating and painful injuries that can occur due to head trauma (such as a dog fight or being picked up by the scruff) is the expulsion of the eyeball. Immediate emergency veterinary action must be take to replace the eyeball into the socket if vision is to be saved. Keep eyeball moist with wet gauze on the drive to the hospital. To summarize, the most important consideration for ocular health of your pet is check the eyes daily. Make sure they are kept clean by removing any mucus (normal morning 'sleeps') with a clean cloth. Keep the face dry and free of debris and hair. Don't let them hang their head out the car window, be careful with shampoos. Act immediately if anything appears out of the ordinary. Remember you are their first caretaker and they depend and trust you to do what is right. Charles Seigle Long 1929 - 2010 Charles Seigle Long, passed away on February 21, 2010, due to complications of major surgery performed in November 2009. He was 80 years old.

The esteemed breeder-judge, philanthropist, and patron of the arts was 81. He was born in New York, the son of L. Stanley Kahn and Janet Annenberg Hooker. His uncle was publishing magnate Ambassador Walter H. Annenberg. Beginning in the 1950s Kahn worked for one his family’s publications, TV Guide, which for decades was among America’s most successful magazines. He retired to devote himself to his philanthropic work and to indulge his passion for the sport of purebred dogs.
