Vendor Sites at Durack Members please take note that the vendors sites are for Vendors use only. No member is permitted to park on or use the power from these sites. Non-compliance is a breach and will be acted upon accordingly. Show Managers, please be vigilant in this area and report any breaches. Clubs A few Clubs are experiencing various problems, mostly from lack of understanding and correct procedures not being followed. If there is a changeover of Executive (President, Secretary, Treasurer), previous Executives must ensure that all Club information and property is returned in a timely fashion in order to ensure that Club business can proceed with true and correct information at hand. Club Officals Incoming Committees should be sure of their respective duties that their position holds. All members, whether they be new or not, should have the Club procedures explained to them, e.g. National Show processes to ensure there is no misunderstandings and everyone is on the same footing. Breaches Members are reminded that under no circumstances should a Director be approached to engage in a conversation regarding a Breaches Hearing. Even though they’re aware of the complaint, the Board is not the Breaches Panel and always remain separate from these matters as per the Constitution. Please direct all enquiries regarding procedures, etc. through the office. Business Plans and Costings Members will be fully informed on all Major projects by the way of a full Business Plan and costings. Full disclosure will be vital to ensure that members can give fully informed feedback on these matters. Financial Stability The Financial Stability of Dogs Queensland must always be a priority, therefore members must realise that only one large project at a time can be put into practice. That is why we have a Budget that is annually put into play. Basically that means that our finances are protected and that any increase to membership and other fees will be managed at a reasonable rate. Although I am aware that members want a lot of things to happen yesterday, it is not the way things work in good business. Things will happen but in the correct manner, which will benefit all of Dogs Queensland. Expressions Of Interest – Dogs Queensland Committees Dogs Queensland is requesting in this magazine Expressions Of Interest for Committee positions because all Committees are refreshed every year. Hopefully, previous Committee members are not too burnt out and will reapply and many other members will show their interest. As Dogs Queensland is basically a volunteer based organisation, I can not emphasise enough how important and valuable our volunteers are in ensuring the future of the dog world. It would be fantastic to see more members wanting to get involved, rather than leaving it up to the same people to carry the load year in and year out. Offical Photographers Clubs have the choice of Offical Photographers for their Shows. It is a member’s choice as to whether or not they want their photos taken and released for publication. Members who take pictures of any other members or their dogs without written permission could be in breach of Privacy Laws. Without express permission, if you publish these photos on open forums, you could very well be putting some of your fellow members in dangerous positions. It also has been noted that some members have been placing photos on these open forums with derogatory remarks attached. There are Rules, Regulations and Laws to be followed in all walks of life, just remember for every choice that is made there are CONSEQUENCES.

Notice to advertisers Printed and distributed by: Printcraft (07) 3291 2415 www.printcraft.com.au www.dogsqueensland.org.au The Trade Practices Act came into force on 1st October 1974. Certain provisions of the act relating to consumer protection place a heavy burden upon advertisers, advertising agents and the publishers of advertisements. In view of the obvious impossibility of our ensuring that advertisements submitted for publication comply with the act, advertisers themselves need to ensure that the provisions of the act are strictly complied with. In cases of doubt, advertisers are advised to seek legal advice before submitting advertising material.

The dates for 2015 will be Sunday 10th May and Sunday 15th November. The Board has further agreed that all events will have a $1 per attendee levy or $40 whichever is the higher amount.

Monthly Data Reports in Dog World In response to the ever increasing cost of producing the Dog World, the Board has made the decision to no longer publish the monthly data reports in the Magazine. These reports, Litters Registered, Championship Titles Awarded, Other Titles Awarded, Export Pedigrees and New Prefix Listing, will continue to be published on the Dogs Queensland Website and will be available free in hard copy on request. Please contact the Office should you require a copy and we will post you one every month. Judges Books The Conformation Judges Committee notes that it is no longer mandatory for Open Show Judges to complete a Judge’s Book. However they may continue to do so for their own use purposes. It is their responsibility however, to ensure that any “no award”, non-entire or aggressive dog etc is noted on the Steward’s Sheet and if necessary on the Show Manager’s report.

The Board would like to remind all Members to be vigilant and the fact that the Grounds belong to everyone. The Grounds Manager will also be instructed that he is not to clean anything like this again, it is a Health and Safety issue and specialist cleaners will be engaged to clean up anything of this nature thus incurring extra costs.

Application forms may be obtained by e-mail from the ANKC Ltd Administrator at the following address: administrator@ankc.org.au Tracey Barry ANKC Ltd Administrator The RAFT Committee assists Dogs Queensland in supporting the Field and Retrieving trialling community (Clubs and individuals) in assuring field sports for working gundogs continue to thrive and individuals have the opportunity to participate in field events sanctioned by the ANKC. The Committee’s role may entail assisting clubs with their trial dates and judges’ induction development and elevation. It also participates in Rule Reviews for the different sports and manages the running of State and National Championships held in Queensland. Retrieving Ability Tests For Gundogs (R.A.T.G) Interested in putting your toe in the water to see what natural retrieving ability your gundog has? R.A.T.G. events offer a wonderful opportunity to get involved. The Retrieving Ability Tests for Gundogs are primarily undertaken at Obedience Trials or Show events to promote retrieving. It is a test of basic obedience and basic retrieving with the dog working off lead. The Tests provide a way for handlers to demonstrate that their Gundog has basic retrieving ability. Main and Limited Registered Gundogs (including de-sexed registered Gundogs) and Associate Dogs of a variety accepted by a Member Body as a Gundog are permitted to compete in Retrieving Ability Test for Gundogs in all States and/or Territories of Australia. At its most basic it includes showing: 1: That the dog: a. Is under control. b. Walks in a position where it is close to the handler, aware and responsive to any movement of the handler. c. Takes the pace of the handler. 2: That the dog: a. Remains steady when the handler walks away. b. Goes to the handler promptly when called. 3: That the dog: a. Remains steady when an item is cast. b. Marks the fall of the item. c. Does not retrieve until instructed. d. Does not need direction from the handler. e. Returns directly to the handler with the Game. 8 - March 2015 www.dogsqueensland.org.au Dogs Queensland Notices The Queensland Dog World Judges News Feature Event: Wide Bay Cup Retrieving Trial ‘The Wide Bay Working Gundog Club Inc. – Queen’s Birthday three day event.’ The Wide Bay Cup weekend has a long history and tradition with many of the best dogs and handlers of the last 30 years coming from all over Australia to compete.

The Rules are available on line at: http://www.ankc.org.au/rules.aspx Want to play? Many working gundog breeds never get the chance to do what genetically their whole being drives them to want to do. When given a chance they exhibit extraordinary excitement and enthusiasm. These outdoor experiences could be lots of fun for you and your dog.

This is a series of lectures designed to provide you with knowledge that will assist you to achieve the best possible outcome in the show ring and perhaps be a judge in the future. For all interested exhibitors, we hope that you will: • • • • • • Gain an insight on what judges look for when judging your dog Look at the structure of dogs and understand how this impacts on how they move and on their general appearance Improve your knowledge on how to groom your dog to maximise its chances in the show ring Learn to handle your dog as professionally as you can Attend a course on Basic Emergency First Aid for your dog See that good nutrition is crucial to having your dog looking in top condition. In addition there are lectures on Basic Genetics, Animal Husbandry, ‘The Human Animal Bond’ and an overview on Dogs Queensland operations. This series of lecture evenings has been especially designed to meet the needs of exhibitors and possible judges. If you are interested in becoming a judge, it is important that you attend the modules on Dogs Queensland operations, Canine Anatomy and Canine Movement. There will be a small cost involved to help cover costs of our interstate presenters. Further information can be found on the Dogs Queensland website at: www.dogsqueensland.org.au. Judges Training DVD’s: We have been fortunate to have been sent some American Kennel Club DVD’s. However, we still need more resources, and to buy one of each and every breed would be a massive cost. Does anyone have Breed DVD’s or articles by breed authorities that we might be able to borrow for breed lectures? If so, could you please email the Dogs Queensland Office with details? It would be much appreciated. Finally, Distance Education trainees are reminded that their local facilitator can arrange sweepstakes if there are no Open Shows held in their area. These would probably be best on a ‘Cluster’ weekend to maximise entries. Shaneen Bendixen Chairperson, Conformation Judges Committee March 2015 - 9 Dogs Queensland Notices The Queensland Dog World Peter Mitropoulos, one of Dogs Queensland’s major sponsors presenting a ribbon, 6th from the right A Big Thankyou I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to all those who helped me in one way or another when I became ill at the Durack Dog Complex on Sunday evening 25th of January 2015. Special thanks must go to Helen Bright who was kind enough to collect up my show gear and most importantly my lovely boy Toby to take them to stay at her home for the night. Next morning Helen brought them back to my home safe and sound, a round trip of over three hours on a very busy and extremely hot Australia Day. Helen your kindness will not be forgotten. Ann Reeves (Japanese Chins) Val Bonney presents a cheque to State Obedience Trials Treasurer Chris Pain on behalf of herself and Sid Lewis who were founding members of DOTA (Dog Obedience Trainers Assoc) along with Neville Jackson. DOTA is now no longer operational and funds have been generously donated to various non-profit Dog Sports. The funds are most appreciated and will be used to benefit State and National Obedience Trials. 10 - March 2015 www.dogsqueensland.org.au Dogs Queensland Notices The Queensland Dog World Proposed Camping and Caravan Ground at Durack Fig 2 Fig 2 shows an elevated plan of the proposed extra Caravan and Motor Home area (shaded in light green).

The Board of Directors are committed to this development, however to keep members informed the potential cost for Brisbane City Council Fees alone to approve these proposed areas of 11,668 square metres is $28,983, smaller areas would obviously attract a smaller approval fee as per below: Area (m2) 5,000 7,500 10,000 11,668 Fee ($) 15,647 20,647 25,647 28,983 Fig 1 Fig 3 Fig 1 shows an overview of the proposed Caravan and Motor Home area (shaded in light green), the proposed extra Tent Camping Grounds (shaded in Pink) and existing Tent Camping Area (shaded in Blue).

Her father was a successful salesman and later a major manufacturer of numerous products supplied to supermarkets and pharmacies etc. Dux of her school and school captain, Cheryl always had amazing communication ability. She had inherited her father’s salesmanship skills. Cheryl had an eye for fashion and line and balance. As a young adult Cheryl modelled for Myer Melbourne and worked as a personal assistant in an accountant’s office. Her first marriage to a Melbourne Hairdresser attracted her to the hairdressing industry. At an adult age Cheryl did a hairdressing apprenticeship, qualifying in twelve months what normally took four years to complete. She soon became one of the most popular hairdressers in Melbourne. She operated a salon with a staff of twenty-four. Her quest to be the absolute best took her to London annually where she studied the latest techniques, looks and products. It was after one such trip that she returned to Melbourne with a product not then available in Australia. Cheryl asked her father to manufacture it for her. He replied “You want to put Rolls Royces in bottles which nobody will buy”. Cheryl set out to prove him wrong and started her product company Mayo International, now thirty-six years old. After her first marriage failed Cheryl moved to Brisbane and married hairdresser, Jon Le Court who operated some thirty-five salons. One day Cheryl and Jon answered an advert for Siberian Huskies for sale. They bought their first Siberian in 1987 and became involved in the Show Dog world. Cheryl’s drive to have only the best took her to the U.S.A. where she visited the famous Innisfree Siberian Husky Kennel. She purchased, a then big winning Siberian ‘Cowboy’ that became the foundation to her kennel Suthanlites Siberians. Cheryl purchased several other Siberians from the U.S.A. and grew a kennel of over sixty five dogs. Her success in the Show ring grew initially with her imports and in later years with her home bred stock. Cheryl won over 500 Best in Show. She has won all major Australian Royals and Australian Dog of The Year on several occasions but her biggest thrill was winning BIS and RUBIS at the Sydney Royal in the same year. Her experience at manufacturing hair care products made it easy for her to develop the famous Plush Puppy range of Grooming Products for Show Dogs. Cheryl saw the opportunity for such a range in the mid 1990s and now her Plush Puppy products are sold in over sixty five countries. Cheryl learned she had Ovarian Cancer in 2009. After major surgeries and regular Chemo, Cheryl lost her battle on the 6th of January 2015. Cheryl is known for her warmth, friendliness and willingness to help others with her vast knowledge. Her funeral is evident of this as over three hundred and fifty people from all over Australia and overseas attended. Probably her most well known advice to the dog world was “If you want the best coat – BATH – OIL – BLOW DRY” A beautiful woman, with a beautiful personality.. 14 - March 2015 www.dogsqueensland.org.au Club Interest The Queensland Dog World Queensland State Dances with Dogs Competition Sunday, the 14th of September was the Inaugural Queensland State Dances With Dogs Competition conducted at St Benedict’s School, Mango Hill, on the north side of Brisbane. This was a lovely venue with a non-slip surface and undercover. With the breeze blowing through conditions were perfect for the dogs and spectators. We were very fortunate to have two International judges – Mrs Carol Dodson and Ms Michelle Dodson from the UK. As well as judging, both these ladies are avid competitors back in the UK and have been successful many times at the famous Crufts Dog Show. Making up the panel was Mrs Deb Hyde from Western Australia, also a very successful competitor, not only in DWD but in the Obedience world. A very special Judges Panel for this inaugural event. Murfet, Trevor Telford and Coral Pethers, and the Toowoomba Dog Obedience Club Inc. Thanks also to Tina Dial from PawSnap Pet Photography who took some fantastic photos. This special day was a great precursor to the Inaugural Australian National Dances with Dogs competition scheduled for the last weekend in June 2015 at Durack. See you there! Coral Pethers There were over fourty entries with visiting competitors from as far afield as Sydney as well as Queensland country visitors and locals. It was great to see new competitors to the sport having a go, even a gentleman handler! Over the weekend Selby Wright and his Pomerian ‘Shamsky’ did a very good performance and gained their second leg towards their DWD Freestyle Starter title with a bit of Elvis Presley grooving to ‘Jailhouse Rock’. Other success stories were Loretta Rabbit and Toy Poodle ‘Jackson’ and Ros Smith and Australian Kelpie ‘Jedda’ with a 1st and 2nd in Freestyle Intermediate. In Freestyle Advanced – Gay Westmore and Australian Kelpie ‘Talli’, Lisa Williamson and Border Collie ‘Cass’, Sharon Clark and Border Collies ‘Cian’ and ‘Casey’ placed first to fourth and all on qualifying scores. Talli was awarded the Freestyle Champion trophy with the highest score in the Freestyle Division at the competition. In Heelwork to Music Starter, Karen Doenitz and Maltese x ‘Rylee’ took first.

At the business end of your lead stands your budding star performer… a fine example of her breed with a string of In-Group and IN-Show wins and an Australian Championship title to prove it. Then it happens… a club official making the usual encouraging overtures to all the newcomers confides… “We’ll be able to train you, Sir, but I’m not so sure about an Irish Setter”! As an Irish Setter owner, I can see two ways of taking a remark like that. The first is to join in the Beginners class muddling through “first night” frantically trying to listen to and follow the Instructor’s directions; attempting to keep your dog at heel while all she wants to do is play with these new-found friends; trying to remember which is your left and which is your right foot; keeping out of the way of the other handlers – none of who seem to have the same idea of walking a straight line as yourself. Chances are, if you succeed in all of the above, you will be too busy to notice that 90% of the others in your class are having as much trouble as yourself, despite the fact that none of their dogs are Irish Setters. It would then be an easy matter to convince yourself that the club official had been correct in his opinion of your chosen breed. You might return home vowing to leave your pride and joy firmly enclosed in the back yard where she would henceforth be admired for beauty alone. 18 - March 2015 The other way to treat this remark, of course, is as if it were a red rag and you, an angry bull. In short, get out there and prove them wrong! Thankfully for Irish Setter enthusiasts, on that night in late 1980 Norm Clarke chose for himself and Ch. Kelsherry Llanell the ‘rag and bull’ response. Kelly was three years old at the time and Obedience training had been chosen by Norm and his sister Mary as the ideal way of keeping Kelly mentally alert, physically fit and generally happy. By July 1981 she had proven the skeptics wrong by gaining her Companion Dog title and Norm Clarke had launched himself into a new pastime which snowballed. Well and truly bitten by the Obedience ‘bug’ (and perhaps to prove that the first title was not a fluke) Norm began simultaneous training with Kelly and their other dog Ch. Eileenja Elias. This determined effort resulted in a CD Title for Elias in 1982, a CDX for Kelly in 1983 and a CDX for Elias in 1984. Not content with training two at once, Norm had, by this time, been making ready with Kelly’s daughter, Ch. Kelsherry Danielle and Danny’s son, Rhuboda Aibial. Both gained their CD titles in 1984. www.dogsqueensland.org.au Feature Breed The Queensland Dog World By April, 1985 Aibial had gained his CDX title and unbounded enthusiasm for obedience work. In 1986, at the tender age of three years and three months, and after competing in only five trials at Utility level, Aibial delighted his owners by attaining his UD (Utility Dog) title. Norm also trained his brother, Ch. Rhuboda Adhamh and Ch. Rhuboda Corcair (S. E.Elias/D. K. Llanell) trialling them both to their CD titles. 1987 saw Danielle return to the obedience ring and Danny was joined by her grand-daughter, Ch. Rhuboda Dana and Norm trialled these two bitches to their CDX and CD titles respectively in that same year. The other string in Aibial’s bow was his participation in the PAL Super Dog Team. Norm and Aibail were foundation members of this display team and, together with Ch. Elieeja Elias CDX, enthusiastically represented the Irish Setter fraternity in this activity. My own Rhuboda Dogs, ‘Reny’ Ch. Rhuboda Gairiaid CD excelled in the obedience ring, gaining 191 in his first CD trial and won many places and was ‘Top Novice Dog of the Year’ at his home Club in Mackay apart from winning competitions at other clubs during the time he competed for his CD title.

The Kerry Blue Terrier is a game animal with great heart. He is loveable, loyal and intelligent. A fine watchdog and an excellent companion for children. The Kerry Blue Terrier is equally adapted to urban living. His great retrieving instinct allows him maximum exercise in a small area. Average size, weight and lifespan Dogs: 46-48 cms when standing (18-19 inches) Bitches: Slightly less Lifespan: Between 12 and 16 years of age Compatibility with other pets: The Kerry Blue Terrier will not back off in a confrontation. From their heritage they have acquired great stamina and will not back down. Ideal owners: Personality, characteristics and temperament: In conclusion: The Kerry is a watchdog by instinct and quick to learn right from wrong.

If you have decided this is the dog for you, or if you would like more information, please contact either the relevant registered breeders club or Dogs Queensland. The Kerry Blue is a dog of delightful temperament. He has a stubborn streak but is extremely intelligent. Once he learns what is required of him, he strives to please. Either will be able to give you information about available puppies and also suggest dog shows where you can see the breed and speak to a breeder. Families with children and active people. An outstanding characteristic of the Kerry Blue Terrier is beauty. With his properly groomed coat, his terrier vitality and expression, he always cuts a swath wherever he goes. Care requirements: The Kerry Blue Terrier’s coat must be brushed/combed daily. Because the coat is both profuse and virtually non-shedding, much care must be given and given often. The dog can be taken to a grooming salon to be trimmed if you are unable to take care of the coat yourself. It is suggested to have this done every three months or at least four times a year. 20 - March 2015 www.dogsqueensland.org.au Feature Breed The Queensland Dog World The Glen of Imaal Terrier The Glen of Imaal Terrier is an Irish dog of unknown origins. It is still fairly rare. He is named for the Glen of Imaal, in County Wicklow, Ireland. The Glen was first presented publicly at an Irish dog show in 1933. Like many similarly built low-to-theground, powerful terriers, he was bred to hunt and kill animals living in the ground such as foxes and badgers. The dog would go into the animal’s den to drag it out. Glen of Imaal Terriers were even pitted in timed trials against live badgers to test their gameness until such events were banned in 1966. Unlike Lakeland Terriers and Fox Terriers, the Glen of Imaal is supposed to work silently. It may also have been used for dog fighting entertainment and to turn spits cooking meats over a fire by trotting on a treadmill for hours at a time. This spunky little terrier serves mostly as a companion dog today, but he can still catch vermin. With little training it can still be used to successfully hunt foxes and badgers. Average size, weight and lifespan Dogs: 35.5-36.5 cms (14 inches) height at shoulder Weight: Dogs, 15.5-16.5 kgs (34-36 lbs) Lifespan: About 13 to 14 years Personality, characteristics and temperament: Ideal owners: Recommended for a first time owner if they are willing to and capable of establishing dominance. Glen of Imaal Terriers are suitable for an apartment or small home if the exercise requirements are met. Glen of Imaal Terriers have medium energy levels - usually active outside and calm inside the house. Weekly grooming - brushing or combing is required, with stripping twice yearly. A daily walk of about half an hour is recommended. Generally good with children, but the breed’s intelligence combined with its stubbornness can create problems if the dog is not disciplined. The Glen of Imaal is a spirited and cocky little dog. Tough and game when hunting, otherwise mild-mannered and calm indoors. They are intelligent, but also late bloomers. Very brave, stubborn and rambunctious. Patient and loyal. Peaceful and gentle with the family. These excessively devoted dogs like to be near their owners and make fine family pets. Care Requirements: Playful and excellent with children. This breed has a deep bark that makes the dog sound much bigger than he is. Glens like to dig and chase. They adapt well to changes of owner - so adopting an adult Glen will not be a problem. In conclusion: These dogs will bark if they detect danger but will rarely bark without a reason. They are sensitive to correction. Training should always be consistent with some play in every session. They respond well to obedience training and can be taught to retrieve. Glens are keen to learn, but they sometimes try to dominate and can be stubborn. www.dogsqueensland.org.au The Glen of Imaal Terrier will do okay in an apartment. They are moderately active indoors and will do okay without a yard. The Glen can sleep outdoors if the weather is not too extreme, but they would much rather be indoors with their owners Now you know a little about the Glen of Imaal Terrier. If you have decided this is the dog for you, or if you would like more information, please contact either the relevant registered breeders club or Dogs Queensland. Either will be able to give you information about available puppies and also suggest dog shows where you can see the breed and speak to a breeder. March 2015 - 21 Feature Breed The Queensland Dog World The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier is thought to be the traditional Irish farm dog. It was the poorer folk’s dog; large enough to enforce its presence but not so large that it was expensive to keep. It was bred as an all purpose dog to herd sheep and cattle, catch a range of vermin, keep watch around farm boundaries to repel intruders and be a family companion. They were also known to accompany their master on hunter or poaching outings. The breed gets its name from its coat which is a soft open coat, the colour of ripened wheat, that falls in waves ranging from shimmering silver to golden. Depending on taste of the owner they can be left shaggy or trimmed to a neat terrier outline. The breed is closely related to the two other breeds of long legged terriers from Ireland, the Irish Terrier and the Kerry Blue Terrier. The breed was officially recognised in Ireland on St Patrick’s day 1937. Average size, weight and lifespan Dogs: 47 to 49.5 cms (18 to 19 inches) height at shoulder Bitches: 44 to 47.5 cms (17 to 18 inches) height at shoulder Weight: Dogs 15.8 to 20.4 kgs (35 to 45 lbs) Bitches 13.0 to 18.0 kgs (30 to 40 lbs) Lifespan: Can live into its teens Personality, characteristics and temperament: The Soft Coaed Wheaten is an elegant long legged terrier, the ‘teddybear’ soft cuddly dog that is a delightful and faithful companion. They are a good family dog, orienting to the group rather than to one family member. They are generally good with children. They are sturdy and not easily injured. The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier has a compact body being agile and strong for its size. They have straight forelegs and powerful hind legs. The tail is usually docked. The ears are smallish, set at the top of the skull and drop forward. Eyes are clear, bright dark hazel and slightly almond shaped. The eyes are usually shaded by a curtain of fur that falls forward over them. It is happy and steady in temperament, carrying him/herself gaily with an air of self-confidence. They are an alert dog which shows interest in the environment. They are less aggressive than is encouraged in some of the other terrier breeds. 22 - March 2015 Compatibility with other pets: The coat of the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier sheds little and is a continuous growing coat. They require regular brushing and combing to remove dead hair and prevent matting. They also need to be trimmed or tidied up throughout the year. The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier is an active breed and needs regular exercise. A fenced yard is ideal. Daily walks are an advantage. They can be kept in apartments as long as they are regularly exercised. Ideal owners: Since the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier is good with children they are an ideal family pet. They love to be with people and are a loyal companion. In conclusion: Now you know a little about the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. If you have decided this is the dog for you, or if you would like more information, please contact either the relevant registered breeders club or Dogs Queensland. Either will be able to give you information about available puppies and also suggest dog shows where you can see the breed and speak to a breeder. www.dogsqueensland.org.au Feature Breed The Queensland Dog World The Irish Terrier The ancestry of the Irish Terrier goes back into the mists of time, long ago he was used by the Irish farmers as a worker, guard dog for the family and a wonderful companion. He is equally at home with children and adults. The Irish Terrier is perhaps the finest dog on earth. He does not throw away his priceless devotion and loyalty on every stranger who may chirp to him. But to the death, he is the comrade, protector, and exuberant playmate, and sympathising comforter of the human who has won his heart and respect. He is an Irish gentleman from the deathless old school, a fiery gentleman from the tips of his braced toes to the rough hatch of his crown. He is more. He has a heart three sizes too big for his shaggy body; a heart that is as white and clean as that of a knight- errant. He is no bully, but will flinch not one-hundredth of an inch from the fight that is forced on him, be the odds ever so impossible against him. There is a psychic side of the Irish Terrier too, found in almost no other dog, a tinge of the mysticism of the land of his ancestry. These very descriptive words were written by Albert Payson Terhttne (U.S.A.). Average size, weight and lifespan Dogs: (19 inches) 48 cms Bitches: (18 inches) 46 cms Colour: Coat colour ‘whole coloured’, red wheaten, red or yellow red Lifespan: Can live to 15 years Care Requirements: The Irish Terrier has a double coat - a soft undercoat and a harsh top coat. Daily brushing and a good comb will keep the coat in good condition but it does need regular ‘stripping’ or ‘clippering’. If not being shown, the coat can be clipped every 5 months but if they are a show dog, regular stripping is needed to keep them looking in excellent condition. Either way, keeping the Irish Terrier looking good can be done by the breeder who normally offers after sales service. Eyes, ears and mouth should be checked every week, or each day in the case of eyes. Please also remember to give your dog their daily or monthly heartworm treatment and a booster vaccination every twelve months. The Irish Terrier is a healthy dog and does not suffer with any major problems. Ideal owners: Single people, married couples, or families looking for a loving and devoted companion. www.dogsqueensland.org.au Personality, characteristics and temperament: As mentioned, they are a wonderful companion, intelligent, affectionate and a great family dog. They make a good show dog although most people who purchase an Irish Terrier want them solely for their happy and fun nature. They can be trained at an early age to be an obedience dog.ity and expression, he always cuts a swathe wherever he goes. Compatibility with other pets: They can be equally at home with cats, birds and other dogs, although if a male he does not take kindly to other outside males on his property. In conclusion: Now you know a little about the Irish Terrier. If you have decided this is the dog for you, or if you would like more information, please contact either the relevant registered breeders club or Dogs Queensland. Either will be able to give you information about available puppies and also suggest dog shows where you can see the breed and speak to a breeder. March 2015 - 23 Library News The Queensland Dog World Enjoy our great titles on the Irish Terrier, Glen Of Imaal Terrier, Kerry Blue Terrier, Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier and Irish Setter Last month we had the ’Big Guys’ and this month we feature ‘St Patrick’s Day Dogs’ which means Irish breeds – Irish Terrier, Glen of Imaal Terrier, Kerry Blue Terrier, Soft Coated Wheaten and Irish Setters. Fortunately books on all of these breeds are available in the Library. For the ‘Irish Terrier’ a book from The World of Dogs series by Lucy Jackson covers all aspect of the breed, contains many coloured photos and history of the breed. Mary Brytowski’s book on the ‘Glen of Imaal Terrier’ published by the American Kennel Club is (like all books published by the Kennel Club) full of so much detail. This is a Special Rare Breed Edition and would be helpful for judges and trainees. Nexton the list is the ‘Kerry Blue Terrier’ which is prominent now with this breed being showed with much success in Queensland. The only book available was first published in 1982 – author is Edith Izant and features breed history etc. ‘The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier’ by Maureen Holmes covers some very interesting facts on this very interesting dog (see Book Review). Among the many books in the Library on the Irish Setter, one book by Eve Gardner, simply titled ‘Irish Setters Today’ published in 1998 has so much information on the breed, that it must be on the reading list for all breed owners etc. All of the books mentioned here are available to be borrowed from the Dogs Queensland Library. Visiting the Library The Library will open again shortly, look out for new opening hours for 2015. However, should you wish to access books from the Library at any time, please contact me on 0407 961 025 to make alternate arrangements. I am only too happy to assist in any way I can. Helen Acworth Librarian 24 - March 2015 www.dogsqueensland.org.au Book Review The Queensland Dog World This month’s member review is: ‘The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier’ Written by Maureen Holmes Reviewed by Helen Acworth Library and Archives Committee When listing this book on the monthly feature breed, I became fascinated by this rare breed. The Author, Maureen Holmes, writes are very straight forward ‘Preface’ and sets out to detail in full the known history of the breed. In her ‘Preface’, Mrs Holmes writes: “It is a fact that all over Ireland the Wheaten was prostituted in the interests of fighting and badger drawing. It has always had enough courage and spirit to go it alone without introducing any other breed but this has happened and no other Irish breed has ever been so badly treated in its own country”. Reading through this book has been an eye-opener, the obscurity of the breed, its guarding instincts and the fact that it was not recognised by the English Kennel Club until 1943. Put this on the reading list for 2015! Helen Acworth Librarian www.dogsqueensland.org.au March 2015 - 25 Club Interest The Queensland Dog World An Interpretation of The Irish Setter Breed Standard Dogs Queensland Exclusive Supplied by Cheryl Gorey, Secretary, The Setter Club of Queensland The Irish Setter is racy in outline, strong yet full of quality, kind and wistful in expression which must show that wonderful character in which he excels. We must have bred a great number of Irish Setters during the last forty-odd years, yet each one was a character in his own right. He has been that typical Irish character of being generous to a degree, wayward yet never showing vice, tremendously active and always full of life, a great companion and the most handsome of dogs in looks and temperament. To give the newcomer to the breed a physical description beyond the Standard description laid down by the English Kennel Club is not easy but I will do my best. Starting with the head, this must be well balanced, as indeed he must be balanced throughout, without exaggeration. The head is relatively long and lean, the skull slightly broader than the foreface when viewed from above. A definite stop exists between the skull and foreface so that in profile the appearance is that of 2 bricks laying parallel, the fore face about an inch lower than the skull. The cheeks should be flat, not rounded, and the ears set fairly low towards the back of the skull. The foreface is equal in length with the skull, and should be fairly wide at the muzzle with nice depth, but tapering slightly from the back of the skull to the tip of the nose. The eyes should be dark brown but not so dark as to lose expression, which must be kind and lively. His throat should be clean and his neck fairly long and let into sloping shoulders with strong, straight bone in his front legs with small, compact feet, well padded. His chest is deep and his ribs wrell sprung, but the body shape is oval and not rounded as in the English Setter, his ribs being carried well back. He is not unduly short in the body, nor is he in loin, but balanced, with wide quarters, hindlegs with well bent stifles and short straight hocks, and again small compact feet. His tail is set on slightly below the level of his back but not as low as to give him the appearance of being goose rumped, which is 26 - March 2015 objectionable. The tail should be carried on a level or slightly below the level of his back, and should be lashed from side to side when he moves - a dead tail is lacking in character. His coat should be a good chestnut red and this can vary from an almost mahogany to a fighter red - as does a chestnut. His feathering should be profuse on ears, chest, brisket, and tail. White on the head, feet and chest is quite permissible (nearly all our Setters have a little white on the chest). His movement is active and sound, not as a hackney but keeping his feet straight - forward movement without turning feet in or out; slight deviation is almost inevitable at times but throwing his feet in or out is to be penalised and hind action which shows a cowhocked appearance is undesirable in the extreme. If your Setter is muscled in thighs and quarters this will rarely happen. It is always difficult to put into words a true picture, but if you always look for balance, quality and strength you won’t be far wrong. A guide to the length of the tail is that when extended it should reach to the hock joint and not beyond - slightly shorter gives a smart appearance. His coat should be flat but full of life; dead looking coat is untypical and I much prefer to see a slight wave than a flat dead coat. The coat should gleam in the sun when your Setter is in good health and full coat. When he is working and scents game he may use his tail very actively and in fact may lash it round like a windmill, but when moving in the show ring he should lash it from side to side and not above his back for preference. A young dog may tend to get his tail up somewhat and this is forgivable, provided it is set on correctly. The dog is usually slightly bigger than the bitch and shows a more dominant expression - it should always be possible to determine the sex by looking at the head - if when you get to the other end you find that your identification was wrong, then you have either a doggy bitch or a bitchy dog. Either is uncharacteristic. The feet should be small with strong toes close together and well padded. Feet are important and nothing looks worse than large, sloppy feet. They should be well feathered between the toes although it is common practice to trim the feathering for the show ring to emphasise the desirable small nature of the feet. Finally, and I repeat once more, balance with a nice slope from the withers, quality and refinement with strength - the whole dog must be balanced and often a dog with slight faults which is balanced is a better Setter than one which has fewer identifiable faults which is unbalanced. This is something which experience will enable you to find and understand. Source credits: The late Mr. L.C.L. James ‘Wendover’ UK www.dogsqueensland.org.au Club Interest The Queensland Dog World www.dogsqueensland.org.au March 2015 - 27 Club Interest The Queensland Dog World Facebook, a force for good or evil in the Dog World? Written by Craig Pettett Facebook and other social media provide a platform that enables information to be disseminated very broadly, but like most tools the success and quality of the outcomes of its use is determined by the skill of the operator. The issue is explored and comments from people in the Dog World who moderate Facebook pages and deal with the impacts of using Facebook have been sought, to provide an insight into the issue. From its humble beginnings and launch on February 4th, 2004 by then 19-year-old Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook has been recognised as a powerful and effective social media tool and has been involved in controversy right from the start, with some of Zuckerberg’s classmates claiming and filing a lawsuit that he stole their idea (this case was settled). Facebook is now probably the most widely used social media tool in the world and one of the most effective ways of sending a message or photo into the public domain. In the dog world, the majority of us utilise Facebook to maintain contact with our dog friends around Australia and around the world, we use it for discussion forums of which there are dozens just within Australia, we use it for dissemination of information about shows and results, and we even use it to buy and sell those half used bottles of shampoo that we no longer want, amongst many other purposes too numerous to list. Why is it then, that with such a powerful tool at our disposal to market our hobby and project a positive image of it to the public, who we perceivably want to encourage to become involved because we need to increase numbers, do we see so many public meltdowns and discussions degenerating into cringe-worthy train wrecks that would send even the most hardened prospective member running off into the distance? Let’s explore the issue. 28 - March 2015 Facebook, The Tool What more can be said about the potential and power of Facebook as a tool and communication platform? We are able to convey messages that reach a wider audience than we could even hope to any alternative way. This in itself, makes Facebook an excellent marketing tool with which our organisation can promote itself to the wider public. We can further enhance our message by adding pictures, graphics, polls, monitor our exposure through ‘likes’ and ‘shares’ and also engage in a discussion on the topic through use of commenting functions. This transforms Facebook from simply a communication tool to an engagement tool which any marketing professional will tell you is the crux of a successful campaign – to actually engage with the audience rather than communicate. In an article in 2013, Miles Godfrey reported for the Sydney Morning Herald that the number of daily users of Facebook (including desktop PC and Mobile usage) was approximately 9 million and that there were approximately 12 million monthly users. I personally know that in writing some of the ‘Regional Members Say’ articles that Amanda Maynard and I have worked on periodically that there is nothing more encouraging than posting a discussion topic and seeing members get involved in the discussion, debating, agreeing and yes, having a few conflicts as well. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as the diversity of our organisation and the opinions of our members is one of the things that make us strong (even if a bit of a nightmare when trying to reach a consensus……). Overall, with the function and exposure that Facebook provides, it is inconceivable that it does not at least have the potential to open a wide range of promotional opportunities for the purebred dog fraternity. www.dogsqueensland.org.au Club Interest The Queensland Dog World Why Does Facebook Get A Bad Name? There are mixed reviews between individuals in the dog world as to whether Facebook is actually doing more harm than good, and this can be a changeable view depending on the context of what is being put on Facebook. Some of the complaints of Facebook range from accusations of over-promotion and blocking up of newsfeeds with pictures and brags through to general nastiness, personal vendettas and more serious instances of possible defamation and bullying. These things simply happen because we are all individuals, have our own individual opinions and perspectives which mean that what some people find acceptable, others will find objectionable. Perhaps the criticism is justified. According to a news report in August 2013, a report by the Australian Communications and Media Authority had revealed amongst other data, that Australia ranked number one in the world for cyber-bullying. In March 2014, Paul Farrell of The Guardian reported: “Everyone is a publisher…….Everyone who uses platforms such as Facebook and Twitter can have legal action taken against them if someone can show they have lowered their reputation in the eyes of others…………Be careful when tweeting rumours, half truths or innuendo about people – and don’t tweet in anger.” Could it be that Facebook should have a bad name because of the possible legal pitfalls it poses to users? It does appear though that rather than the platform being used, any issues, risks or impacts come about due to the users control of the platform and their actions in using it. So maybe we are giving Facebook a bad name by demonising it instead of perhaps focussing on the behaviour of the people using it. Our Behaviour When Using Facebook Scanning the Dogs Queensland Rules and Code of Ethics, there are certain behaviours required of members, but not a lot of reference to the use of social media. In fact the only reference in the Code of Ethics is briefly in point 3 of Section 2t(iii) which states: www.dogsqueensland.org.au “Respect the reputations of other members, including judges, at CCC(Q) approved events and in dealings in wider forums, including chat lists on the internet and in other communications;” This is mainly because people have the freedom to publish what they like on social media, whether it is counter-productive to objects of an organisation or creates a legal issue that could potentially be a by-product of that freedom and a consequence for it. Aside from that, Facebook is just a tool or an implement so isn’t inherently bad or good, just something to be used and implemented with the outcome dependent on the user. Probably the best piece of advice for users of social in any situation is from Paul Farrell (reported above) – ‘and don’t tweet in anger’. Ok, so we are talking Facebook but the concept is the same. We probably need to be more considered about the messages we are publishing and also considering whether Facebook is the best forum in which to have the discussion. If we are angry or unhappy, before hitting the ‘post’ button it is probably best to read our comments and modify if required to remove any personalising of our message which takes us into the territory of potential legal exposure. We also perhaps need to be mindful that we are trying to promote our hobby, so even if there are disagreements, a public forum (where the public and potential or existing members can see what is being said) may not be the most appropriate place to have it. It would be a sad situation indeed if a potential member were to see something unpleasant which discourages them from joining. But it would be a disastrous situation for existing members to become disenfranchised enough to not renew their memberships – this has happened! I quite recently saw a discussion on a club’s Facebook page between members of a committee. The words seemed relatively benign but for most people with knowledge of the parties involved, the words were dripping with venom and malice and it did not paint a very positive picture of the dog world. March 2015 - 29 Club Interest The Queensland Dog World Continued from page 29 There is no blame here. Every single one of us has probably been in a situation where we felt we could have communicated something better or differently – it is a very human fault and failing and completely natural to err. All we can do is attempt to learn from the experience and be considerate of the modality of our communications in future situations and discussions. Taking Control It is important to always recognise that there is little we can do on Facebook to control the behaviour of others, but we do have total control over our own actions. If everyone were to take personal accountability and maybe ‘count to ten’ before posting on a controversial topic to make sure what we are saying is not going to offend or cause disrepute to our hobby, there are major improvements that can be made and potential positive marketing outcomes which simply adds to the strength of our organisation. We should always try and hold ourselves to a standard becoming to our hobby. In fact, our Code of Ethics that we signed up to requires it of us. If we don’t like what we’re seeing on Facebook, we do also have choices using the functions of the tool to “hide, block, etc” to modify our newsfeed and what we see. We have choices to leave groups that we don’t feel are productive. So if you don’t like people promoting their wins, or the photos of their dogs that they block your newsfeed with, you can very simply and without fuss hide those posts so you don’t have to worry. Sometimes we need to sit back and maybe just observe rather than participate in a discussion where our participation will encourage and escalate poor behaviour (even if what we want to say is completely right). Viewing information and discussions can be a great strategy to learn a lot. I often enjoy reading comments by people who are very knowledgeable and can open my mind to new possibilities – at other times I simply enjoy reading some comments for the entertainment value. I am reminded of a comment from a friend of mine when we discussed the rather dramatic posts of a mutual friend “it’s like a car crash, you know you shouldn’t look, but you can’t help it….”. What Should Our Outlook Be? We are part of Dogs Queensland and our objective is to promote the hobby of owning purebred dogs and the activities that go 30 - March 2015 along with that. It is also quite healthy for us to enjoy our hobby and have fun too. Dogs Queensland through its membership has access to unparalleled expertise and knowledge which could truly make our organisation a well-respected, authority in relation to dogs in Queensland. In fact, we quite recently took a step in this direction with state opposition leader Annastacia Palaszczuk being pictured at our Durack grounds to announce Labor Party policy cracking down on puppy farms. The picture was circulated on Facebook and I noticed one of our members commented that ‘this is our Durack Showgrounds in Brisbane where we hold purebred Dogs Shows and Events’ – how positive and what great exposure. These simple actions are so effective on a medium like Facebook. Social media provides a marketing platform that we can use to spread the message far and wide of who we are and what we are about and therefore, we need to portray a positive and united message. Public displays of nastiness, defamation, disunity and malcontent should be minimised, however, this should never be confused or conflated with healthy, proactive discord and debate on issues. Facebook is neither a force for good nor evil in the dog world. There can be no doubt that it is definitely a force but we have the power to determine how it is used. Many members sometimes regard with cynicism statements that this is our Dogs Queensland but in instances such as the use of social media, this is so true. Our behaviour can make or break the reputation of the organisation (and us) in the eyes of one or more people when using a tool like Facebook, and it’s probably better if our commentary and behaviour is ‘making it’.

Facebook is an amazing tool that connects all of the dog world, nationally and further afield. What we need to remember is that Facebook isn’t “bad” or “good” – people either use the social media tool well or use the anonymity to push a negative agenda! www.dogsqueensland.org.au Club Interest The Queensland Dog World The communication Facebook enables is phenomenal – results are instantaneous. I know who has won at a specialty the minute it happens. I’ve made friends with people in my breed from around the world and been able to follow and support friends here in Australia. The issue only arises when people do not follow internet and human etiquette. Ethics and morals are the issue – not Facebook! The Setter Club of Queensland celebrates St. Patrick’s Day Keyboard warriors who slam people on Facebook but then aren’t brave enough to say peep at a show are what makes Facebook seem negative. The rule of thumb should be: if you can’t say it to someone’s face, then don’t hide behind a screen creating negative posts and threads.

Our conformation show season and activities for all disciplines are almost back into full rotation, so there is plenty to keep those members who are rested up after the break fully engaged. Upcoming Shows and Events In the month of March members have the following events and activities to look forward to: • • • • Conformation Championship and Open Shows at Gympie, Rockhampton, Mackay and Gladstone; Agricultural Championship Show at Proston; Obedience Events at Gladstone, Rockhampton, and Mackay; Retrieving Trials at Bundaberg Please check out the schedules on the Dogs Queensland website or in your copy of the dog world magazine to look at future events in your area. Date Claimer – Bundaberg Easter Eggstravaganza (April 3 – 6) This is probably your last, last, last chance to get your entries in for the Bundaberg Easter Eggstravaganza being held over the Easter Weekend. It will be a massive weekend of four championship and two open shows with a full international panel for the championship shows and a talented panel of our trainee judges for the open shows. But wait – it gets better – the shows are being held undercover at the Bundaberg Recreational Precinct which has amazing camping facilities at a very reasonable price. Bringing an event like this to regional Queensland doesn’t come without its costs and risks, so it is really important that members who have been calling out for these type of events in regional areas, throw their support behind the Bundaberg Club who have worked extremely hard to make this a possibility. The shows will also have a social aspect, with some competitions and events for exhibitors to celebrate Easter. Please check out the Bundaberg Canine Club Inc Facebook page where the club has included all the information that members 32 - March 2015 www.dogsqueensland.org.au Zone 2 Showcase The Queensland Dog World could possibly want about the weekend and continue to update this as the event draws closer. The conditions of entry are outlined under rule 148, which states: “It shall be a condition of entry that each exhibitor shall: It is pleasing that this weekend has the added bonus of being undercover to enhance the comfort and atmosphere for exhibitors and spectators. There are now two clubs in Zone 2 utilising undercover facilities for shows, the other being the Callide Valley Canine Club who have utilised the Robert Schwarten Outdoor Pavilion at the Rockhampton Showgrounds for several years. a. control his dog, when not kennelled, by means of a suitable collar and leash; b. secure his dog, when kennelled, in such a manner as to render it incapable of causing damage; c. hold the body and all its members blameless and indemnify it and them against any claim for damage so caused; d. entrust the handling of his dog to a responsible person who must be over the age of ten years and physically capable of controlling and handling the dog in the normal manner; e. ensure that no exhibit shall enter the ring with any form of identification displayed on any collar, coat, tag or other apparel. Identification includes but is not limited to the registered or call name of the exhibit. f. ensure that no exhibitor or handler shall wear or carry any form of identification, other than the approved exhibit number, which identifies an exhibit, exhibitor, breeder, kennel, official or other dogs apart from the exhibit. g. ensure that Soft Crates are not utilised within the assembly area at any Show.” Get those entries in and let’s all help to make this event massive! Rules in Action – looking after ourselves, our dogs and each other After attending a recent show, the rules in relation to controlling dogs entered into discussion. Not because there was an incident, but because a possible risk was identified where an exhibitor was not aware of the rules. This is in no way a reflection on the exhibitor because the current version of the Dogs Queensland Rules (as published on the website) is sixty-three pages long (not including amendments), so it is an unrealistic expectation for people to know and remember them all. www.dogsqueensland.org.au March 2015 - 33 Zone 2 Showcase The Queensland Dog World Continued from page 33 Many of these conditions are aimed at reducing risks or as a result of incidents which required the circumstances that brought them about to be addressed by the rules, and the overriding intention of them is to ensure the well-being and reduction of possible injury (physical or otherwise). Were you aware of all of these? It is what we sign up to when we enter a show and the section of the rules is involved with liability, so there is an important legal aspect and implication to our adherence of these rules. If a Steward, Show Manager or Club Member does ask you to take some action, it may well be that it is for the protection of yourself and others and to mitigate potential risks that could result in loss or injury. Most are quite willing to discuss the situation and provide information but as members, it is also good to educate ourselves. Judging Appointments Following in the footsteps of an initiative in Zone 3 to create a listing of shows and appointed judges, Robyn Nicholson (our Zone 2 representative) has been collecting similar information to create a listing for Zone 2. The purpose of this initiative is to assist Show Secretaries avoid doubling up on judges or repeat appointments which can sometimes impact on entries at shows. Whilst there is opportunity to discuss other appointments with judges when enquiring about contracts, a list such as this does provide a useful and consolidated resource for easy reference. One of the big challenges in Zone 2 and the regional areas of the state is that the pool of available judges is quite limited as the clubs really need to contract all breeds judges who have all groups and general specials to affordably stage their shows, so these parameters are somewhat limiting. This makes it more important that there is a resource that can be utilised to try and avoid possible clashes. Submissions I am always happy to receive submissions from members with photos of their dogs having fun, ideas for stories or discussion topics. Please feel free to email me at craig.pettett1@bigpond.com. Until next time. Attention Junior Handlers and Junior Handler Judges! The Junior Handler manual has received a yearly update. The changes weren’t made in a haphazard nature, and feedback was sought from all states to ensure that the Australian Junior Handler manual remains current for the sport. This is not the first time that significant changes have been made and it is imperative that judges and handlers stay abreast of the changes and ensure they stay up to date with the requirements as a handler and as a judge. The first aspect handlers and judges will notice is the addition of the Handlers Code of Conduct. This is something, I feel, should have been added in a long time ago. Pointscores, qualifying heats, social media and high stakes comps have a lot to answer for, and shout me down if you like, but I think there is a need for a shake up in regards to sportsmanship in regards to handler classes. I particularly like the addition of the social media guideline, as well as discouraging contacting judges before and event. The Sportsmanship Code of Conduct reads: “SPORTSMANSHIP CODE OF CONDUCT” FOR ALL JUNIOR HANDLER EVENTS. (Added 10/14, 6.11) “By competing in a JH event, competitors and their parents/ guardians and spectators agree to abide by a “Sportsmanship Code of Conduct.” All competitors AND their parents/guardians and supporters when competing in a JH event are required to; • • 34 - March 2015 Follow the rules and regulations of the ANKC and their State Controlling body. Show respect to fellow competitors, their parents, judges and club officials by accepting constructive criticism and the judge’s official decision as final, and by congratulating handlers who place above them. www.dogsqueensland.org.au Zone 2 Showcase The Queensland Dog World • • • • Never question the impartiality of any Junior Showmanship judge, nor contact judges prior or after JH events in a way that can be seen to be negative. Refrain from making negative comments on social media about any other handlers, their parents or a JH event. Welcome and encourage new handlers into junior showmanship. Judges must judge the handlers on their ability displayed on the day of competition and should not let anything else influence their decisions. without stopping. At the conclusion of the out and back the handler must return to the judge stopping approximately 2 meters (6 feet) from the Judge and present the dog as per the judge’s instructions. This has been a favourite of a lot of judges, and it is nice to see it finalised as an exercise. Quick View: • The establishment of a Junior Handler Code of Conduct that specifically mentions social media and not contacting judges Any breaches of this code of conduct should be referred to their State Controlling body for disciplinary action. In a move that perhaps will be controversial, is the removal of the reverse triangle. This is an exercise I saw as unnecessary as it is not an exercise that is ever used in the all breeds ring. I would have liked to see the ‘T’ exercise be removed as well, as this also not an exercise that is seen in the regular ring. • The Reverse Triangle is no longer an exercise in ANKC junior handler classes • The addition of the exercise ‘Half way out and show your dog’ • The addition of ‘Around the ring and straight up and back’ as a combined exercise. However, the ‘T’ lives to fight another day! It is important to note here, that there was an addition to the rules and advice to handlers of the phrase: If a Junior Handler is requested to do an exercise that is NOT in the manual then they can politely advise the judge that it is not a recognised exercise. This has always been a bug bear of handlers, and they were never sure on how to speak to a judge when asked to do an exercise that is not in the manual. Clarification of this was necessary and a great move by the ANKC Committee. Addition to the rules and advice to handlers with the phrase: If a Junior Handler is requested to do an exercise that is NOT in the manual then they can politely advise the judge that it is not a recognised exercise. I was very pleased to see the addition of the exercise ‘half way out and show your dog’. In this exercise, the handler is to go half way out and present their dog by either free standing or setting it up as per the judge’s request. Once completed, the handler must either move back to the judge or to the end of the line as per the judge’s instruction. This enables the judge to make an individual assessment of the handler’s skills. The purpose of this exercise is for the handler to demonstrate how smoothly and efficiently they can either free stand or stack their dog with the judge watching you closely. Another addition to the manual and one that has been used by many judges is the combined exercise of around the ring and straight up and back as one exercise. The purpose of this exercise is for the handler to demonstrate their ability and control of the dog and ringcraft of the handler. The handler must always ensure that they move their exhibit at the correct pace for both side gait and front and rear movement. The handler must use the whole ring unless instructed otherwise by the judge. This exercise is to be completed in one fluid movement www.dogsqueensland.org.au March 2015 - 35 Club Interest The Queensland Dog World W. J. Rasbridge The Breed Standard Dogs Queensland Exclusive Supplied by Rita Biyden I decided to share this chapter, titled The Breed Standard from the manuscript written in the early seventies by W. J. Rasbridge. Sadly he did not complete the book dedicated to the breed nevertheless he has left a valuable legacy. He quietly contributed, on request, to books written by others about the Irish Setter and other breeds. The author’s appreciation for his encouragement and unquestionable knowledge was written on the flyleaf page of the copy sent to him on publication. This chapter is offered for publication in the hope that all interested and involved in the breed will read, absorb what is written and this will assist both judges and breeders to firstly assess their stock, acknowledge good points, criticise shortcomings and give them the motivation to address and put right faults, prevalent in the breed today. Unsound movement for example resulting from faulty conformation. Hopefully, many will agree that this explicit understanding of the breed and the standard from the pen of W. J. Rasbridge is a treasure. Would it not be a fitting tribute to his lifelong devotion and the huge contribution he made to the well being of the breed that all, officially, adopt Bill Rasbridge’s elaboration of The Irish Setter Breed Standard. The official standard is not, and is not meant to be, a detailed description of an ideal Irish Setter. It merely sets out the essential and main characteristics. The first breed standard was drawn up by a committee of the Irish Red Setter Club, Dublin and was published in April 1886. The present day standard varies very little from that of 1886. The men who drew up that standard were nearly all practical shooting men and, when preparing it, had in their minds the configuration of a dog which experience had taught them was 36 - March 2015 required to do the job of bird finding under the conditions to be met with on an Irish shoot. In passing it may also be mentioned that they were also clearly concerned, from personal motives, to boost the all red to the detriment of the parti-coloured. This idea of function must always be kept in mind in assessing an Irish Setter, even one that is intended simply as a pet. Only if it is can the requirement “must be racy” be correctly interpreted. Shooting in Ireland where conditions can be rough, weather inclement and birds scarce requires a dog which can combine stamina with speed, which is not cumbersome but can turn quickly into to its birds, which does not get discouraged by rain and wind and which keeps on the job with zest even when there appears to be no game. A whippety dog with the build of a sprinter is hardly likely to fulfil these requirements, neither is a heavily built cloddy dog. An Irish Setter is sometimes described as being “cobby”. If it is it is not racy and therefore not typical. Quality is a difficult thing to describe. All that can be said of it is that a dog of quality has an air which does not come just from sleekness of coat and a well groomed appearance. Its carriage and general appearance at once proclaim it a well bred animal. Expression is again difficult to describe but once seen the true Irish Setter expression is unforgettable. It is at once wistful and alert. Nothing is more untypical than a flat deadpan look in an Irish Setter or a hard harsh look. The eyes should always give the impression that there is life in the brain behind them. Expression is not how the dog appears to you but how it looks at you. It is dependent not only on the alertness and mind of the dog but on the shape of the eyes, their spacing and how they are set in the head. A small beady eye is wrong, as is a large round one. Expression must suffer if the eyes are placed too close together or too far round the side of the skull. www.dogsqueensland.org.au Club Interest The Queensland Dog World They should be on a line at right angle to the dog’s long axis. Nothing helps more to ensure correct expression than a well marked stop, an almost perpendicular step-up from the top of the foreface to the top of the skull and prominent sharply cut brows below which the eyes look straight out along parallel lines. The next section of the Standard, that dealing with the head and skull, is the one most frequently misinterpreted. Because the head is required to be “long and lean” there is a tendency to think that the longer and leaner the better. Nothing could be further from the truth. There is one essential requirement in any dog, that there should be a harmonious relationship between its parts typical of the breed. That is what is meant when a dog is said to be “well balanced” or “proportionate”. This applies to the head as much as to any other part of an Irish Setter’s anatomy, from which it follows that a head may be too long or too narrow relative to the dog as a whole or may be too narrow for its length. To put the same thing another way, it may be too long for its width An Irish Setter’s head, broadly speaking, should fit into a system of parallel lines. Looked at in profile when the dog is standing normally on a level surface the top of the foreface should be horizontal, with the top of the skull parallel to it on a higher plane. It is entirely wrong for these two lines to converge towards one another. Setters in which that occurs usually lack stop and have blunt brows lacking chiselling. A Roman nose, that is to say a downward curve to the end of the foreface, is entirely untypical, ugly and undesirable. The stop should come midway between the point of the nose and the occiput, the honey protuberance at the rear of the skull, when the Standard says this should be well marked it does not mean that it should be exaggerated at the back of the head. The skull pan should be elliptical, in al horizontal plane and should not be broken up by bony ridges running down its long axis, or from that axis at an angle towards the eye. The other requirements of this section, as of that headed “eyes”, are self-explanatory and call for no elucidation. The positioning of the ears is important and can affect expression. A keen dog will often lift its ears. That can be excused whereas misplacement cannot. As a rough guide, the top of the ear should be on a line somewhere near half-way between that of the eye and the bottom of the zygomatic arch. A fault which has recently tended to increase is that of the overlong ear. Such an ear is one which when stretched forward reaches well beyond half way between the eye and the nose. It was not until the K.C. assumed responsibility for all breed standards and set itself the task of fitting all of them into a uniform frame that the standard of this breed made any mention of “mouth”. Pre-war it was rare for any specialist judge to examine mouths. In other countries however “mouth” has always had much attention paid to it and in some of them malformation there or faulty dentition is a disqualifying fault. That is something to be borne in mind when exporting. A slight upward tilt to the foreface such as a Pointer should have was more common at one time than today. It is not desirable but is more excusable than a Roman nose. The underline of the jaw should be clean cut and parallel to the top line of the foreface. There should be an absence of throatiness looked at from above the sides of the skull and of the foreface should be in parallel to one another and to the head tail axis of the dog. Any coarseness in a Setter’s head usually occurs not in the skull pan itself but in the zygomatic arches, the bony structure at the side of the head just behind the eyes. The less these arches bulge the better. There should be no falling away before the eyes. As regards the foreface its width which should be maintained throughout its length should not be much less than that of the skull pan. It should finish in a square muzzle making an angle of near 90 degrees with the topline. An over jutting nose with a muzzle cut away and devoid of lip is abominable. On the other hand too much lip is undesirable. Here I refer the reader to the photograph on the facing page, of the late Mrs. M. Hempel’s Danny o’Moy (a litter brother of Ch Noma) and Flair of Bowland. Note the cut away muzzle of the bitch and the rather overdone lip of the dog, the downward slope behind the eye of the bitch’s skull and her too low-set ears. Above all note how the topline of her foreface begins to slope up to the topline of the skull instead of being carried without change of direction to between the eyes. www.dogsqueensland.org.au March 2015 - 37 Club Interest The Queensland Dog World Continued from page 37 How a British judge rates a faulty mouth depends on his general attitude to the fault and the degree in which it is manifest. Personally one would not be greatly concerned if a tooth was missing or if a dog was slightly over or undershot because teeth were misplaced or growing at the wrong angle. If however the jaws themselves were of unequal length one would take a more serious view but how serious would depend on the extent of the inequality. Coming now to the Neck section, it is again necessary to give a warning against exaggeration. An overlong neck is just as faulty as a short one. It is often found that such a neck emerges from the body quite wrongly and results in what is described as “a ewe neck”. The proper neckline is tied in with correct shoulder placement. It should emerge in a smooth running line from the shoulders so as to appear of a piece with, and not stuck on to, the body. Shoulder placement is all important. The shoulder blade must slope both backwards and inwards towards the spine and it must be fairly long and proportionate to the humerus, the bone which makes an angle of just over 90° with it and links up with the foreleg, at the elbow. If the shoulder blade is too upright or too short and out of proportion with the humerus the elbow will be misplaced and front movement will suffer. If the area of the blade is small relative to the amount of muscle that is 38 - March 2015 attached to it the latter will be haunched and the dog will appear “loaded in shoulder”. When the Standard says “rather narrow in front” that does not mean “as narrow as possible”. If the dog is to have any capacity for sustained galloping there must be some width of chest, all that is required is that that width should not be excessive so that the dog appears broad chested and heavy. It is a bigger fault for a setter to give the impression, when looked at from the front, of “two legs coming out of one hole” particularly if as so often happens, with this formation the front legs are splayed with the distance between them less at the top than at the bottom. Again the over narrow front is usually accompanied by lightness of bone which accentuates the impression of weakness, which is one an Irish Setter should never convey. It is equally important that the dog should not he too short or too long in the leg. The latter with the “up in the air”- appearance is creates even in a deep chested dog is the worse fault. If the length from elbow to ground is much more than from elbow to withers (it may be rather less) the dog is hardly likely to be typical. The requirement that the “body should be proportionate” is so vague and meaningless as to constitute a serious blot on the standard. For what it is worth my view is that the right set of proportions is one where the height at withers is slightly less than the horizontal distance between withers and set-on of tail. www.dogsqueensland.org.au Club Interest The Queensland Dog World The body should reach to or only slightly short of the point of elbow. If an imaginary perpendicular dividing line is dropped through the point where the fly rib leaves the spine the impression conveyed by the portion of the dog in front of that line and by the portion behind it should match and be of a single dog. If the front section suggests a substantial solidly built dog and the rear a light whippety one the setter is unbalanced. An over long loin, particularly when it lacks muscle and gives a “waspwaisted” impression, is functionally wrong and therefore a bad fault. The spine must be straight, neither dipped nor arched nor forming an arc, with the withers as its highest point. It sometimes happens that an irregular vertebrae placement occurs between the dorsal and the lumbar regions I think this fault is hereditary and I have found it usually results in the dog’s having a lean, unthrifty appearance. Whether the straight topline should be in a horizontal plane or sloped very slightly from withers to tail is a matter of opinion. I, basing myself on those at whose feet I sat to leam about the breed, have a preference for the slightly sloping topline. A dog gets its propulsion from its back legs. In one which was evolved to gallop effortlessly and for long periods over heavy and rough ground it is essential therefore that there should be great strength in the hindquarters and therefore width and that the action should be smooth. An Irish Setter should not taper away towards the rear but should be at least as wide in the pelvis as at the ribs. While there should be a gentle rounding off at the rump any sharp falling away is a sign of weakness and a fault, colloquially described as “goose rumped”. The second thighs should show plenty of muscle. The line from hip joint to stifle should he nearly vertical and that from stifle to hock making an angle of about 45° with the ground, while the distances from hock to stifle and stifle to hip should be roughly equal. Since the War there has been a tendency, in some strains, for the former length greatly to exceed the latter. This may result in what passes for a “nice bent stifle” but it is faulty and a source of weakness. When it is accompanied by a hock set too high, the hock to stifle line becomes almost parallel to the ground, the dog leaves his behind him when moving and consequently lacks propulsion. A low set hock is a very desirable characteristic. When the dog is looked from the rear the hind legs should not incline either inwards or outwards at the hock and when moving should go in parallel lines. Faults in hind movement are failure to flex the hocks, a dragging moving of one or both legs and their moving too closely together. The forelegs should be parallel when viewed from the front or side. The dog is “back at the elbow” if its foot is in advance of its body. This spoils the profile view. The two final sections of the standard require little elucidation or comment. Today, unfortunately, there is a tendency to over trim the ears, the feet and the back of the hind legs between hock and heel and so to take away from the dog characteristics the standard requires it to display. The removing of dead hair and trimming to show the outline of the ear is one thing, the shaving of it almost down to the ear produces a pointer ear which is quite wrong. Similarly the removal of all hair from between the toes tends to defeat its object of making the foot appear small, for it produces gaps between the toes and gives the foot a spread appearance. Two faults are now to be seen in the breed, thin coats deficient in furnishings (“Pointer coats”) and wavy coats. I regard the former as much the more serious simply because a “pointer coated” Irish Setter not only fails in appearance but also functionally. I have seen such dogs shivering in a wind, something no Irish Setter should ever do. The breed does not show the same wide range of coat colour that it used to do, say 30/40 years ago. The yellow and ultra dark liver coats are now seldom seen and taking the breed as a whole coat colour has never been so uniform as it now is. The colour of a newly shelled horse chestnut remains the ideal. Light feathering and linty ears detract from an Irish Setter’s appearance. How a judge regards thin coats, wavy coats and light “breechings”, if he objects to them at all is a matter of individual taste. Discussion of the Standard must close with a warning. Although the Standard considers the Irish Setter feature by feature no dog should, or can’t be judged bit by bit. It must be seen as a whole and assessed in the light of the overall impression it makes. More important than any individual point is whether there is that harmonious relationship between the various parts which should characterise the typical specimen, what is usually referred to as balance or symmetry. To reason thus is, in a sense, to argue in a circle hut the dilemma is inescapable. In the final analysis knowledge of what constitutes a true and typical Irish Setter will come not from repeated reading of the Standard but from careful and objectively detached study of the best specimens in the light of the Standard. Equally a dog cannot be judged with a ruler and protractor. The only measure to apply is the eye and that must have behind it a mind backed by experience and knowledge of the breed and free from all preconceptions and irrelevant prejudices. The tip of the tail should not extend beyond the hock and when moving the dog should display animation by moving its tail briskly from side to side. The tail should be of a fair circumference and strong at the root. A good indication of substance in a puppy is provided by the root of its tail. It adds greatly to an Irish Setter’s appearance if it carries its tail naturally straight out behind it even when standing still. On the other hand a tail carried above the back like a hound’s detracts from an Irish Setter’s appearance. www.dogsqueensland.org.au March 2015 - 39 Show Schedules The Queensland Dog World February amendments and notes Atherton Tablelands Kennel Club: Championship Shows 7 th and 8 th of March 2015 Mrs J.
