Disaster Planning Tips from AKC WoofipediaFour Fast Things Pet Owners Can Do to Save Their Dog in a Natural Disaster

Next Meeting — Awards Banquet, Monday, March 16, 2015 - location to be determined • Send Dog Daze contributions to Audrey Austin •

September marks the middle of hur-ricane season—as well as the one-

year anniversary of the AKC Pet Disas-ter Relief program. Your dog’s survival in a natural disaster, as well as your own, depends largely on whether or not you are prepared. Use the following tips to prepare for an evacuation in the event of a hurricane or natural disaster.

Keep your dog with you. Most evacua-tions only last a few days, but there may be instances where you’re unable to return to your home quickly. Your dog will be safest with you. Make sure you have a sturdy, safe, comfortable crate or carrier ready for transporting in the event of an emergency.

Coordinate shelter. If you plan on going to a hotel in the event of an emergency

evacuation, call ahead to make sure ani-mals are welcome. Most hotels tend to relax their pet policies during times of crises, but don’t assume that will hap-pen. Hotel pet policies are typically found on their websites. Also, animal- related businesses often offer shelter for people, family members, and animals in the event of an emergency.

Have documents and a bag packed. Keep copies of your dog license, vac-cination documents, and health records in a clean plastic bag or waterproof con-tainer. Ask your veterinarian for copies of all records of your pets so that you have them at the ready. Keep an emer-gency bag packed with your pet’s health records and medications, food and wa-ter bowls, food for one week, a gallon of

water, a portable kennel/crate, pet bed-ding and a leash.

Always have ID. Make sure your dog wears a collar with his rabies tag and identification at all times. The AKC also recommends a permanent identification, such as a microchip along with enroll-ment in a pet recovery service.

In the last year, the AKC Pet Disaster Relief program has donated ten trail-ers stocked with pet care and shelter-ing supplies to emergency management teams across the country, with ten more trailers heading out the door in the com-ing months. The life-saving equipment helps create a safe, temporary home-base for at least 65 pets immediately after a disaster is declared, allowing people to safely evacuate with their pets to emergency shelters.

Happy New Year! There were many successes in 2014, with a ton of

brags for this issue and a great show-ing of our club members at Top Dog. I wish you all success in all your goals for this year. For ABOCI, I wish for a year of more Monday night practices, more classes, and more fun.

Our Christmas party was lovely. We have to thank Louisa for sharing her beautiful home. The food was abundant and deli-cious as always and the gift exchange a fun success.

We have an election coming up this spring, so please think about volunteer-ing for an office or a board position. We have changed the constitution to make it easier for the members to participate. We have only a few scheduled meetings a year, with special meetings when there is a program. We have no board meetings in person. All the club business is done on email. It can’t get any easier than that. I really don’t want to be president for life. I have served for more years than I should and I would like to pass the gavel to someone else. I don’t mind serving the club; I just would like a break from this job. I only have continued as president because I wanted to keep the club going and nobody else stepped up. We have a nominating committee who did volun-teer. Please contact Kathy Horton and/or Penny McGirt. They will be looking to fill the board. If you can take any posi-tion, please do.

On another note, I hope we can continue with the Monday night ring practices. It

has been very helpful for those of you who are competing. I leave it up to those who use the ring to make the arrange-ments.

Too, we do not have any show and goes scheduled for this year, yet. This is the situation. If we want to hold future show and goes at Allied Gardens we have to buy more netting and fix it to make it easy to put up rings. We cannot use the tape any longer. We need someone to step up and organize a work party to get this done. If we don’t want to have a show and go at Allied, we can use the Hidden Valley facility. Joan McAdam has generously contacted Hidden Valley Obedience Club and they are willing to let us use their field. Hidden Valley has a show and go scheduled for January, so we should be thinking about February. Now, we need someone to organize the show and goes. And we have to use our own equipment. Someone has to take it up there. Also, we need to have our own ring help. This is our show and go, not Hidden Valley’s. There are so many of you who have stepped up in the past that are as tired as I am with the work. But, if nobody is willing to organize this, it won’t happen. No volunteers, no show and goes. Is it important for those of you who are competing? If so, how im-portant? Important enough to volunteer? After all of Joan’s hard work, let’s make this happen.

On a more positive note: our classes have been going very well. I am not sure what the schedules are right now, but we have the puppy class, the beginning obedience class, the rally class, a nose work class and possibly a competition obedience class. Good job instructors!

I’ll be out on most Monday nights, train-ing in the nose work class. You can ask me any questions about any job in the club and I can put you in touch with the person in charge.

Happy heeling and solid sit stays.

Health Report: Ebola and Our Dogs

by Dr. James Stewart from the Health Committee Report in the ACC Bulletin

In the environment of no information and misinforma-tion, I thought our membership should have as much

factual information as is available.

There have been at least 2 major outbreaks in West Africa with large surrounding dog populations that have had sub-stantive scientific surveys of the canine populations.

In 2001-2002 there was a major outbreak of Ebola in Ga-bon. Blood tests showed 25% of the tested dog popula-tion had antibodies to Ebola. This shows exposure to the disease. None had the virus present, none showed signs of disease, and none had died. This shows complete resis-tance to the disease and no ability to pass on the disease.

In 2005 a survey was taken in African villages having a history of Ebola outbreaks. They all had a feral dog popu-lation. Once again, a high number of dogs had antibody to the disease. None had the presence of the virus, none had signs of the disease, and none died.

In short, it seems the canine immune system intercepts the virus, stops canine cells from being penetrated and stops the virus from replicating in the dog. In short, the dogs do not carry the disease.

This is very reassuring to dog owners. The problem lies with two mammalian species that do form reservoirs (res-ervoir is a host for the disease that carries the virus, is as-ymptomatic –shows no sign of the disease and transmits the disease to humans or other animals). They are fruit bats (not present in North America) and certain primates including monkeys and apes. The fact that these mammals are susceptible raises the fear that at some point the virus could mutate (change itself) enough to penetrate the ca-nine immune system.

The obvious conclusion is to watch for mutation of the vi-rus and react accordingly. There is no history that suggests that dogs that have been tested in the heart of the greatest exposure represent any present danger to man. F

Brags, Brags & More Brags

It has been awhile since we had a Dog Daze, so our brags have been stacking

up. I do hope I don’t miss anyone, if I do, please let me know and I’ll add you in next time. Even if it has been a long time since you bragged, we still want to hear and cheer.

I’ll start with Top Dog Competition. Top Dog is held once a year around South-ern California where the obedience clubs send their best performance dogs to com-pete as teams and individuals. This is a very prestigious event.

Our own JOANNE GRIFFIN with her fabulous Sheltie LYRIC had this super brag.

Lyric won the Top Dog Open Division on Saturday 11-8-14 at the S.C.D.O.C. Top Dog Competition. She got a 196 ½ and a 199 and won both classes beating out the Open teams from 15 other Obe-dience Clubs from all over the Southern California area. I was especially proud of her as she had to show first in both

rings and in the afternoon had to do out of sight sit and down stay groups for 8+ minutes in the high heat and blazing sun and then immediately go into the ring to do the individual Open exercises. She was enthusiastic and ran out and back for her retrieves and got every single front and finish straight to earn her 199. What a good girl!

JoAnne also bragged about Lyric’s High-est Scoring Sheltie for her first Open leg at the Shetland Sheepdog Club of Great-er San Diego

At Top Dog, SUSAN NIKKEL with GOLDIE...

Every year 15 of the So Cal Obedience clubs fields teams of up to 8 dogs and owners for an obedience competition. Goldie and I went as alternates last year in Norco.

This year the trial was held at our HVOC field. Goldie and and a friends’ dog, Ri-ley were the Novice competitors.

We showed in Ring 1 under a judge from Colorado with a total of 15 entries. The 4 top scorers were sent to compete in Ring 2 in the afternoon (and Vice versa). We did not know our scores so we just waited for results.

Goldie and I went sent to Ring 2 along with an excellent German Shepherd, another German Shepherd and a funny little Border Terrier (she decided to lay down on each finish--we expect the dog

to come to a sit at the owners side).

There was a Run-off (two dogs had the same score) in Ring 2 after we complet-ed our second competition. Again, we didn’t know our scores or placements. The really good German Shepherd and a small golden competed. One of my team said they are probably competing for 3rd and 4th. In the end they were competing for 4th.

So—the brag! Goldie finished with 2nd place in Novice. That means that we beat 28 dogs to win this. Our time finished 5th out of 15.

The lady that I train with won 1st place in Open (where they jump and retrieve dumbbells).

At the Hidden Valley trial October 20, Susan and Goldie earned a 2nd in Novice B with a 192.5 on 10-18 and a 1st on 10-19 with a score of 194.5. She also earned 2 Novice Rally B legs and 4th place on 10-19. Susan’s DUDE earned a 1st place in Pre-Novice with a 192.5

At Hidden Valley trial, DAX & CATHERINE ZINSKY...won HIgH IN TRIAL and HIgH CoMbINED.

RACHEL AMADO’S SHOOTERCh. Borderfame Maverick Gunslinger earned his UDX and OM2.

Brags, Brags & More BragsJEANETTE POLLING’S super star, Golden Retriever COOPER, PACH...

All-Starr’s Cooperstown Bound VCD2, CDX, RE, TDX, MXPS, MJPB, WC, CGC jumped for joy earning his Pre-ferred Agility Championship.

I am over the moon with pride that my Cooper was awarded his Preferred Agil-ity Championship on September 27th. Cooper is the first from his litter, and the first for their late sire, CH Bailey, and the second off-spring for their proud dam, CH MACH5 Loretta, to have achieved the spectacular title of Agility Cham-pion. Cooper is so amazing: what an extraordinary companion and exception-ally versatile Golden he is. We have so much fun together. He has an incredible “joie de vivre” and is always ready to try any game. I am looking forward to many more years of exciting adventures with Cooper as my partner. Thank you to his breeder, Bobbie Sevier, and to CH Bailey and CH MACH5 Loretta for my wonder-ful Cooper Perfect!

Jeanette’s Collie, GABI...

I am so proud of my ³Little Sparkler² the last weekend in October Gabi earned TWO new agility titles! She completed her Excellent Standard title (AX) with a 2nd place, and she completed her Open Jumpers With Weaves title OAJ) with a 1st place! Gabi is now formally known as Chelsea Twilight time, VCD1 CD TD AX OAJ . I am so proud to be her part-ner! Gabi is beautiful, smart, and talent-ed, and always gives whatever game we are playing her all! We have lots more fun planned for the future.

BOBBIE SEVIER’S GIBSON...All-Starr’s Going the Distance VCD1, BN, RE, TDX, AX, AXJ, WC, CGC showed his retriever breeding by earning a Working Certificate. He had to retrieve a double retrieve on land. This retrieve requires the dog to mark two ducks shot one after the other. He must retrieve one and remember where to find the second one and retrieve it. Then he must retrieve two single shot ducks from the water. What a dog!

And ABOCI has had a spectacular tracking

season so far!

JEANETTE POLING writes, “Jan-uary 4th was a spectacular day for my Collie, GABI and her wonderful friend Linda Sanders, who is her tracking trainer and handler. My three year old GABI earned her Tracking Dog Excel-lent title (TDX) under clear sunny skies on the federal wild lands right next to the Mexican border at the Agility Club of San Diego TDX test. Gabi’s track was 925 yards long, with 5 turns and she crossed a dirt road 3 times. Gabi completed her track, finding her ar-ticles, a scarf, a pot holder, a hat and the final glove in NINE minutes. Gabi was flying and Linda was running over the uneven grassy fields at the end of her line! At the end of the track Gabi walked back with her head high and that sparkle in her eye, as if to say, “Well, that was easy!” What an amazing day – what fun Linda and I have had training our dogs! What a beautiful intelligent and capable girl my Gabi is and she is now known as CHELSEA TWILIGHT TIME, VCD1, CD, TDX, AX, OAJ.

Brags, Brags & More BragsSCOTTY MALONEY’S German Shepherd, JOSEPH, passed his ASCA TD, completing the 450 yards with 3 turns in 8 minutes.

Her German Shepherd, BEAMER passed her TDX at the Gold-en Retriever S.D.C test. She is now GCH Nike Clayfield Pala-din Be My Darling HT,HSAd,TDX,RN,BN. This finished her requirement for the GSDClub of America’s PAM, Performance Award of Merit.

AUDREY AUSTIN’S amazing tracking Chesapeake Bay Retriever puppy, FLYING D’S SMASH HIT completed his TD at nine months of age, dragging Audrey behind him. “He nearly killed me.” Then one month later, he passed his TDX at 10 months of age. This time he had his good friend and strong handler, Steve Nytko on the end of the line. He finished the 800 yd. track in 8 minutes, leaping over rock obstacles, and finding all his articles. Thank you Steve.

MARIL SUESS’ RHODESIAN RIDGEBACK, SPIRIT, earned her TDX title on 12/17/14 under very un-hospitable conditions. Tracking is what Spirit enjoys most (ex-cept perhaps lure coursing!) and she made the course look like Dorothy’s Yellow Brick Road---very obvious.

Spirit was handled by Robin Sellers, who did a fabulous job keeping up (lol). Both Robin and Maril are exceedingly proud of Spirit’s enthusiasm and achievement. Now on to that elu-sive title, the VST!

Nose Work is a new sport to both the dog world and to ABOCI. Our instructor Christy Hill has been teaching for ABOCI since last June. In that time, Audrey Austin with her Chessie, ZAZZY and JOY GILMORE with her Flatcoat Re-triever, FINN both passed their Odor Recognition Test (ORT) for Birch. An ORT is a requirement for the dog to compete in Nose Work Level 1 trials and NW L 1 Elements tests.

CHRISTY HILL and MICKEY passed the NW3 test, the highest level of competition. This is the equivalent of earn-ing a UD in obedience. Mickey is the 2nd. Belgian Malinois to complete this level of nose work. . Way to go. On to more odor finds.

Nose Work brags. Christy Hill has been teaching this new nose work class since the summer and already Joy Gilmore with her lovely Finn and Audrey Austin with Zazzy passed their odor recognition test on the first try. This test is a certifying class in order to enter the level classes.

Our talented instructor Christy and her wonderful Terv passed their very difficult Level 3 test. They just passed their nose work UD.
