As you may have noticed the BC Branch is up and running again and I look for-

ward to hearing good things from this group led by Debra Love (formerly Long).

The North Western Ontario Branch is hosting the National Specialty in Thunder

Bay, Ontario on June 24th, 2010. There are 7 sets of points available as there are 6

All Breed Shows over the weekend. Cora Lee and her committee have planned an

awesome weekend for participants and I apologize in advance for being unable to

attend as I will be at the World Dog Show in Denmark.

Spring has arrived and the excitement of the show and trial season has begun for

many. Members are dreaming of big wins in the show ring for promising puppies

and stellar performances of highly trained athletes in obedience and agility. A lot

of this activity will see some fierce, but what I would like to see as friendly com-

petition. The owners and dogs that experience the highest percentage of wins will

be those who generally have worked the hardest, grooming and training their

dogs. I have always been a proponent of what I term "Creative Competition"

which sees exhibitors work hard in creative fashion rather than an unsports-

manlike or negative attitude. The old adage the 'cream rises to the top' is never

more evident when those who work the hardest in a sportsmanlike fashion are

successful. Those who constantly bicker about the success of others and behave

in an unsportsmanlike fashion will continue to squalor in their mediocrity and

never reach their true potential. Learning 'to accept our losses as graciously as we

do our wins' will go a long way to demonstrate some mutual respect for our fel-

low competitors and their efforts.

Looking forward to seeing you at the shows...

The trip to China was one we had both looked forward to for a long time as it

was somewhere neither of us had travelled to before and was the country of

origin of our breed, the Shih Tzu. I had looked for any information on the breed

at a Chinese museum in Taiwan the last time I judged there, but had found

nothing, not even a photograph of any type of dog. We would also be going to

Beijing to the Forbidden City to look for any history on Oriental breeds and also

to climb on the Great Wall of China.

We flew into the city of Shenzhen in southern China, where I would be judging

at the South China Kennel Club Show. We were met at the airport by our trans-

lator for the weekend, Stephanie and were quite pleased to discover that fellow

Canadian judge Jack Ireland was also on the panel.

Shenzhen was quite warm, 22 degrees C and the first day we did some sight-

seeing at a cultural village park, where the history of the various ethnic groups are exhibited in an out-

door setting which allows for displays of architecture and lifestyle. It was a beautiful setting and quite

educational.

That evening we were taken to an authentic Tibetan restaurant owned by our host and club President

Mr. Lee Kin Sun and other members of the show committee. The specialty served is Yak as well as many

other typical Tibetan dishes.....VERY DELICIOUS!!!!

The following day Jack was judging and we were taken to a shopping mall where anything you desired

was available in various qualities of knock-off. It was a jam-packed menagerie of stalls teeming with

products and everyone beckoning you to shop at their stall. Quite overwhelming at first but we soon got

the hang of it. Bartering is the way to go and with Stephanie’s guidance, we quickly understood the rou-

tine. Ask the price, then offer less than half, giving yourself room to go slightly up. We were amazed at

what we were able to purchase for little to nothing.

The dog show was held under the aupices of China National Kennel Club CNKC and was similar to CKC

or AKC format with Winners dog and Winners female being awarded. Jack selected for his Best In Show

winner a striking Siberian Husky owned by Guo Qiang.

The next day I was judging and the weather was slightly overcast. The venue was very well laid out with

covered rings and ample room for the judging and exhibitors. The show was well organized and ran like

clockwork. I found the dogs to be well presented and of good quality. There was only one Shih Tzu en-

tered called Ch Eastern Magic City Hunter owned by Wu Guang Qiang. He was quite a nice specimen of

the breed, showed well and had an awesome temperament.

My Best Puppy In Show winner was a precocious

Pekingese. Best In Show was a stunning Pomeranian

named Ch. Dynasty’s Star Gem the Sky and owned

by Wu Guang Qiang. Reserve Best In Show was a

handsome Chow.

We returned to the Tibetan restaurant for dinner that

evening and bid farewell to our hosts, including Mr.

Lee Kin Sun, club President, Stephanie, our translator

and new friend and Jack as we were leaving in the

morning to explore the city of Beijing in Northern

China.

It was quite a shock, temperature-wise once we ar-

rived, as we had left a balmy 20+ degrees to dis-

cover -9 degrees but we were excited to see the sites we

had been dreaming of visiting. Our hotel was a converted

Opera House and which still offered a traditional Chinese

Opera show. We bought tickets for that evening’s perform-

ance which gave you an opportunity of pre-show viewing of

the makeup application. The Chinese Opera is a mixture of

mime-like acting and acrobatics which we found quite spec-

tacular.

We had arranged to do an organized three day tour which

we felt was the easiest way to see everything in the time we

had allowed. We were picked up at our hotel in the morning and firstly taken to the Temple of Heaven.

The Temple was built in 1420 A.D. during the Ming Dynasty to offer sacrifice to Heaven. It is now a public

park area where people gather to exercise, play games, meditate and listen to local musicians.

Our next stop was Tiananmen Square, where you can visit Tiananmen Tower, Monument to the People’s

Heroes, Great Hall of the People, Mao Zedong Memorial Hall and see the national flag raising ceremony.

At the north end of the Square is Tiananmen Tower. Initially built in 1417 during the Ming Dynasty, the

Square was the front door of the Forbidden City. The most important use of it in the past was to declare

in a big ceremony to the common people who became the emperor and who became the empress. Until

1911 when the last feudal kingdom was over, no one could enter the Tower except for the royal family

and aristocrats.

As we walked into the Forbidden City, we were overwhelmed with the history. This was one of the main

items on my “Bucket List” and I was in awe. There has been a lot of work done to restore the City and it

is still continuing but it is amazing that, after all this time, rooms are preserved in the exact way they

were last inhabited. Furniture, bedding, ornaments are as they were hundreds of years ago. Evidence of

damage from feuds are evident and it was surreal to walk the courtyards where emperors and their dy-

nasties had walked before us.

As I had found no evidence of small, Shih Tzu-type breeds in any literature or art I had looked through in

Asia before, I was determined and positive I would find something here, as the Shih Tzu had originated

here and was royalty owned and controlled. We entered several book stores filled with artifacts and me-

mentos but nowhere was any evidence of dogs. I enlisted the help of our translator as she would be able

to read Chinese and may find something I could not. Finally in a little bookstore off to the side, she

found a small book with an excerpt stating the Empress Dowager Cixi had a kennel of about 100 small

dogs in the southwest section of the Forbidden City. Attached to the text was a photo of several people

including the Empress and at her feet, was a small coated dog. It went on to further say, she was given a

large breed dog and eventually emptied her kennel in favour of the new breed. Finally, I had found evi-

dence of our breed and its origin.

Our next stop was the Summer Palace. Constructed from

1115-1911, it had become a luxurious royal garden provid-

ing royal families with rest and entertainment. Containing

examples of the ancient arts, it also has graceful land-

scapes and magnificent constructions. The Summer Palace

is the archetypal Chinese garden, and is ranked amongst

the most noted and classical gardens of the world. Here

we travelled the longest corridor in the world and I found

more evidence of dogs in the paintings that adorned the

walls and ceilings, although these were all of a hound-type

origin.

The next day, we were off to the Great Wall of China, an-

Page 14: Spring 2010 - Shih Tzucanadianshihtzuclub.ca/Orientalspubs/1spring2010.pdfSpring 2010 . Canadian Shih Tzu Club Board of Directors 2010-2011 President Richard Paquette wenrick@wenrick.ca

other “Bucket List” item and on the way, we

stopped at a jade museum and factory. Jade is a

very important part of Chinese culture and many

women wear jade bangles for life on their left arm

for luck.

The Great Wall, one of “the New Seven Wonders

of the World”, did not disappoint and was awe-

inspiring. It winds up and down across deserts,

grasslands, mountains and plateaus, stretching

approximately 8,851.8 kilometres from east to

west of China. With a history of more than 2000

years, some of the sections are now in ruins or

have disappeared. The thought of the hardship

endured to build this magnificent structure was amazing and although warned of the difficulty, we

walked along it for as far as we were allowed, with parts of it being very steep, taking 1 1/2 hours to

complete.

We next ventured to the Ming Tombs where the Emperors were buried. This covers a vast amount of

land and which, interestingly, has been largely left alone. Several tombs have yet to be discovered and

remain buried and unknown of their contents. A stop at a silk factory on the way back to our hotel was

very interesting. The process was demonstrated with the opportunity to have a try and many products

were available made on site of which Wendy purchased a silk duvet.

The next day we were on our own and took a taxi to the site of the 2008 Beijing Olympics and later a

functioning temple where Buddhist monks continue to worship and offer comfort to those seeking it. We

participated in the ceremony of saying a prayer and burning incense which was easily purchased from

stands on the streets.

Our last day in Beijing was a leisurely walk in our hotel’s vicinity. We had a late afternoon flight and so

used our morning to take in more of this amazing city’s heritage. It is a complete blend of the old and

the new. Several ancient areas remain enclosed in walled sections in the middle of a busy metropolis

area. We ventured into one of these areas and were transported into days gone by. Stands of produce,

nuts, meat and other wares teemed from storefronts. Narrow paths between buildings led to the un-

known. Everyone was very friendly and we wandered until we came out into a modern shopping area

Qianmen Dajie, which was full of boutique shopping, cobblestone streets and a Starbucks!

China was certainly a lifetime experience and one we would love to revisit. Thank you to our hosts for an

unforgettable trip.

Most often our first impression of dogs is their

eyes - "look how cute - oh he is so expressive!"

Eyes are the window to the soul and can tell us so

much about our pets - are they happy or sad; ex-

cited or depressed, healthy or sick or in pain. One

of the most common comments when a pet is pre-

sented at the hospital is "Doc I don't know what's

wrong - he's just not right and his eyes are all

goopy!" I would like to give a quick overview of the many problems we can see with eyes and

their surrounding structures and go into more depth on specific subjects in future articles if re-

quested.

The most visible problems we see with eyes are traumatic and can be caused by external forces

or be genetic in origin. Presenting signs are usually blepharospasm (excessive blinking) or

eyelids tightly closed and matted with excessive greenish mucus or excessive tears wetting and

staining the face. In all instances obtain veterinary advice ASAP to avoid severe secondary

consequences. The most important first aid is to keep the eyelids clean of all mucus and apply a

mild lubricating eye cream (no steroid) recommended by your veterinarian and in your first aid

kit. (we'll talk about a first aid kit in a future article).

Generally foreign bodies such as dust, grass awns or garden bushes cause the majority of

scratch injuries with the potential to cause pain and ulceration or even rupture of eyeball. Other

cause of eye irritation include eyelashes that grow in the wrong direction (dictiiadid), long hairs

that grow from the corners of the eyelids and lay across the eyes as well as just rubbing the

eyes (self excoriation due to allergies). Tear production can also cause problem - too much

causes continual wetness of the face and wet eczema and infection whereas too little tear pro-

duction causes 'dry eye' and damaged corneas due to lack of proper lubrication when blinking-

a very painful condition. Sometimes tear production is normal but the tear ducts become

blocked and have to be flushed open to allow proper drainage into the sinus cavities. When

eyes are irritated over a long period of time there is a small gland in the third eyelid that can

become inflamed, swollen and pops up to be a little red lump at the inside corner of the eye

giving rise to the term 'cherry eye'. Generally, this needs surgical correction. Another conse-

quence of long term irritation is a condition called pannus - an infiltration of dark pigment into

the layers of the cornea that unless checked quickly can cause permanent irreversible blindness.

Because glaucoma (increased pressure) and cataracts (opacity of the lens) occur frequently in

humans also, usually we recognize these conditions in our pets too. Early onset of juvenile

cataracts or glaucoma in our pets can indicate more serious health problems such as kidney or

heart failure or diabetes or even some infectious disease such as hepatitis.

One of the most devastating and painful injuries that can occur due to head trauma (such as a

dog fight or being picked up by the scruff) is the expulsion of the eyeball. Immediate emer-

gency veterinary action must be take to replace the eyeball into the socket if vision is to be

saved. Keep eyeball moist with wet gauze on the drive to the hospital.

To summarize, the most important consideration for ocular health of your pet is check the eyes

daily. Make sure they are kept clean by removing any mucus (normal morning 'sleeps') with a

clean cloth. Keep the face dry and free of debris and hair. Don't let them hang their head out the

car window, be careful with shampoos. Act immediately if anything appears out of the ordi-

nary. Remember you are their first caretaker and they depend and trust you to do what is right.

Gilbert S. Kahn

1928–2010

Gilbert Stanley Kahn, of Palm Beach, Florida; Newport, Rhode Island; and New York City died February 22 at his Palm Beach home. The esteemed breeder-judge, philanthropist, and patron of the arts was 81. He was born in New York, the son of L. Stanley Kahn and Janet Annenberg Hooker. His uncle was publishing magnate Ambas-sador Walter H. Annenberg. Beginning in the 1950s Kahn worked for one his family’s publications, TV Guide, which for dec-ades was among America’s most successful magazines. He retired to devote himself to his philanthropic work and to indulge his passion for the sport of purebred dogs. Kahn was a trustee of the AKC Museum of the Dog, serving as Chairman for the past several years, a director of the Metropolitan Opera, a board member of the Newport Museum of Art and the Preservation

Society of Newport County, and a member of the board of overseers for the University Of Pennsylvania School Of Veterinary Medicine. Mr. Kahn spent more than 50 years in the sport of dogs. A Norwich Terrier breeder-exhibitor during the first phase of his ca-reer, he became famously associated with his influential Shih Tzu breeding program. Among his many triumphs in the sport are Toy Group wins at Westminster in 2000 and 2001; five consecutive Nature’s Recipe Awards, beginning in 1998; and five consecutive American Shih Tzu Club national specialty wins, achieved with three different

dogs. Highlights of Kahn’s judging career included the 1997 Westminster Toy Group; judging Shih Tzu at the AKC Centennial Show in 1984; and two assignments at Crufts. Kahn served the American Shih Tzu Club as a board member, president, and AKC Delegate. He was president of the Shih Tzu Fanciers of Greater Miami for 25 years and a trustee of the Take the Lead foundation.

Kahn is survived by his son, John Noffo Kahn, his brother Donald Paul Kahn, two nieces, three nephews, and several grand-nieces and -nephews.
