Ch Legibach Impossible Dream at Waydack - Best In Show at our Championship show

 

 

 

  

 

NEWS

This will be the last edition of E-News for 2008 so Christmas and the holidays lie ahead. We wish dachshund owners everywhere a Very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

Our championship show was held on 11 October and despite the economic climate and pertol costs there was still a very good entry with only 2 dogs down on last years entry. We did miss some of the out of town exhibitors and appreciate the donations sent in lieu by some. The thought of starting the show at 7am actually worked out well and there were no clashes all day. The show finished by 1pm which meant that everyone could compete in the groups at TKC and get home early. Thanks to our judge Mrs Leigh Tarr and Henk Tjeesen who ably stewarded for her. Thanks also to exhibitors for their co-operation and we trust you enjoyed the show.

This ofcourse meant a very early start for the committee but with everyone working together the show was ready to start on time. The catering team of Daelene and her mother together with contributions from the committee provided enough food to feed everyone all day. Thanks also to our sponsors particularly Eukanuba who were very generous with their prizes. Best In Show was won by Bruce Jenkins Standard Smooth, Ch Legibach Impossible Dream to Waydack, Imp USA, Reserve BIS to the Standard Long  Chadamyle Paso Doble of Lightfoot owned by Tracey Dorrington, Best Veteran to  Ch Nibelheim Largamente, the Standard Long owned by Gerard Robinson and Best Puppy to Judy Bird with her Standard Long, Elveden Betty Blue. By all accounts a great day for Standard Longs.

Something I picked up in a UK paper where the falling entries in some varieties was discussed and it was suggested that breeders in the popular varieties each take one of the less popular variety, preferably a bitch, show it and breed a litter hopefully for show people to buy and in this way try and get more of that variety in the ring. Would something like this work here?

Below is an article on the first ever biliary vaccination. Costed at the vet the price is high but for owners with dogs at risk it probably is worth the cost.

Thanks to everyone who supported the annual raffle. The winners were  Nicoleen Maas, Wendy Davies and Helen Able(Tsouroulis)

On a lighter note for people who like to shop or sleep with their dogs, Mr Price has pyjama shorts for men with a dachshund design and the club has a very nice shopping bag with two dachshunds on it for sale and will make a great Christmas gift.

Vaccinate with Nobivac® Piro to further aid in beating biliary

Biliary (or as is casually referred to as “tickbite fever”) in dogs in South Africa is mostly caused by the parasite named Babesia canis rossi (or in short B. rossi) that are transmitted by infected yellow dog ticks.  B. rossi frequently results in fatal infections, even after treatment.  The classical signs of biliary in dogs include listlessness, loss of appetite, fever, pale gums and inner eyelids, jaundice (yellow discolouration of the gums and inner eyelids) and even red coloured urine.  However, during a survey approximately 26% of veterinary practitioners in South Africa regarded the atypical or complicated form of biliary in dogs as common.  This form includes multiple organ dysfunction and may involve any of the following organs:  kidneys, liver, lungs, brain, stomach and intestines, pancreas, muscle and immune system.  These complicated cases do not simply recover with initial biliary treatment.  These complicated cases need to be admitted and may need costly additional intensive care which may include long term hospitalisation.  Approximately 10 to 12% of admitted cases die and 2 to 3 % require euthanasia.

 

Historically rigid tick control was the only means of protecting dogs against biliary.  Fortunately we have entered a new era where vaccination is possible.  Nobivac® Piro (Reg No. G3755 Act 36/1947, N-SR 1368) is the first biliary vaccine in South Africa.  The vaccine contains soluble parasite antigens (SPAs) of B. rossi and B. canis.  The vaccine therefore does not contain the actual babesia parasites.  SPAs are toxic substances that are released by the babesia parasites, and these SPAs are responsible for the signs seen as well as the multiple organ dysfunction seen in the atypical or complicated form of biliary.  Multiple organ dysfunction results from the SPAs that induce the clumping together of red blood cells and therefore small blood clots, decreased blood pressure, decreased blood flow and oxygen supplementation to organs. By vaccinating with Nobivac® Piro, the vaccine induced immunity protects against the effects of SPAs following biliary infection in vaccinated dogs.  The vaccine is therefore indicated to reduce the severity of biliary signs.  In a local trial that was done, dogs were vaccinated and then infected with biliary parasites.  These vaccinated dogs showed a significant reduction in clinical signs, plasma SPA levels and number of parasites within the red blood cells and all recovered without treatment.  The control dogs that were not vaccinated, had to however be treated to prevent death.

 

Nobivac Piro is a vaccine with an action entirely different to most commonly used vaccines (eg.Parvo and Distemper type vaccines).  It should therefore be clearly understood that dogs vaccinated with Nobivac® Piro might possibly still become infected with Babesia parasites and even show signs of biliary, but prior vaccination according to the recommended schedule, will allow time to treat; complicated cases may be prevented; the biliary signs will be less severe; and deaths may be prevented.    

 

Tick control remains essential in vaccinated dogs, as the yellow dog tick  spends approximately 94 to 97% of their life off-host, within the environment.  Therefore only approximately 5% of the yellow dog tick population occur on dogs.  An integrated control strategy is needed to beat biliary!  An integrated control strategy would involve the following:

§         Vaccination with Nobivac® Piro from 6 months of age.  To complete the basic vaccination protocol, a booster vaccination is required 3 to 6 weeks after the initial vaccination. Thereafter revaccination is required every 6 months.

§         Habitat control – seal off cracks and crevices in kennels; keep grass and weeds cut short; use tick control products in kennels; with regular washing of bedding

§         Effective tick control on the dog        

 

Ask your veterinarian for more information regarding the use of Nobivac® Piro in beating biliary in dogs!

I am a breeder.....

My food receipts for a
family of 7 and my dog food bills match
My water bill has doubled
My
electric has tripled
It is I, a breeder, who when my fridge quit, saved the
dog meds and
let the food go bad.
My feet find the way to the kennel
before I have even grabbed a cup
of coffee in the morning and the kennel is
my last stop before bed.
While my friends are on a cruise to the Bahamas and
my family meets
for Christmas I am home delivering puppies
I haven't had a
real vacation in 7 years, but maybe soon. All plans
are made around heat
dates, whelp dates and vet dates.
I shower and 10 minutes later my grand kids
say I smell like a dog
My clothes are all stained with fecal matter, urine,
afterbirth or
bleach
I have to remember to clean my shoes before
church

Most of my friends breed dogs
who else can you call at 3 am for
support?
Who else has the experience I sometimes need, the med I
sometimes
need, or just an uplifting word I sometimes need ? Who else
would
understand how it feels to have invested hours and hours and hours
in
a weak puppy to lose it? Or the joy in investing hours in one
that
lives?
I have slept on the floor beside a litter until the crucial 2
weeks
have passed. I have bottle fed a litter of 12..feeding every 2
hours
and it taking 90 minutes to do for weeks at a time.
I have learned
to be proficient at micro chipping, vaccinations, sub
q fluids, bottle
feeding and tube feeding.

my vet knows me by first name
the vet knows
my children
the vet now knows my grand children
my vet knows it was I who
added on the wing to the vet clinic
I am a breeder

It is to me that 63
days takes on new meaning still excited by every
new life
it is I who
delivers all my pups, towels and heat lamps on ready
happiness and sadness
sometimes intermingled
Even though it increases my work load, I look forward
to the 10 day
stage when eyes open, and puppies begin to emerge from
the
helplessness of newborns. Puppy breath, a first bark. and a heart
of
exploration.
I am not uneducated, unemployable, illiterate or lazy as
some Animal
Rights folks would imply of breeders. I am a conscientious lover
of
animals and I have found my niche.
I am a breeder.

And although
I feel no shame there is a part of me that feels the
need to hide from powers
that could come to invade my home and take
my dogs ..maybe for finding a
mild infraction, a leaf in the water
dish? A kennel not yet cleaned for the
day?
A rash I am home treating? I tell my children and grand children
to
hush, do not tell others we are dog breeders, and I wonder when
did
breeding puppies go into the same secret place as criminal activity?
I
am a breeder and I am not cruel, dumb, uncaring or criminal. I am
not raking
in money while sitting on my butt. Every penny I make I
earn through blood,
sweat and tears. My greatest joy is a healthy
puppy and a wonderful home. The
cards of thanks and the pictures of
my puppy with its new family is the
fringe benefits of my efforts. I
am an animal lover, nurse, midwife, heavy
laborer, customer service
representative, and marketer. AND I am a
breeder.

TROY THE BOY DACHSHUND HAS ARRIVED!

 

NEW LOCAL BOOK FOR YOU TO BUY

 

As part of an effort to raise funds for animals in need, Vanessa Seddon, has written her first children’s book, “Troy the Boy Dachshund”, to create awareness amongst young children about the need to respect and care for animals. The book is self published and is currently being promoted by two animal welfare organisations, CHARM – Caring Hearts Animal Rescue Mission and Wolfhaven to name a few. The book is also being distributed amongst selected vets and pet shops.

 

This is the first in a series of short stories about a little black dachshund, called Troy. His home in suburbia South Africa is the setting for most of his adventures. The short stories that follow take the reader on a journey as little Troy grows up and becomes a valuable member of the family.

The ongoing tale of Troy’s life and how he gains confidence in his abilities, the challenges he faces and the many lessons he must learn, creates a bond between the young reader and this lovable pet. The aim of these stories will be to encourage a child to explore their understanding of themselves and their relationship to others, and provide the chills with opportunities to solve a variety of problems; the scenarios also promotes abstract thinking and critical reasoning. This skills can be applied to meaningful life activities and help express their feelings about the social world.

 

Vanessa will be donating 15% of the proceeds of the book series to her chosen charities in an effort to assist them in the good work that they perform in the community.

 

Should you want to purchase the book you can place your order by emailing the following email address:

Nutrition and the Pregnant Bitch

Changing Nutritional Needs
Pregnancy and nursing are not only responsible for many changes in a dog’s body, but for changes in her lifestyle as well. Therefore special attention should be paid to her changing nutritional needs throughout the entire reproduction process.

Before the Pregnancy: Planning is Important
If you are planning to breed your female, it is important to assess her body condition well in advance of breeding. Because of the physical demands of pregnancy and nursing, starting off with less-than-ideal health can cause problems.

An underweight bitch often has difficulty consuming enough food to support her and her fetus’ nutritional needs. Overweight bitches may experience abnormal or difficult labor because of large fetuses.

Feeding a complete and balanced diet at amounts that support a healthy weight and body condition before breeding helps the bitch maintain her health and that of her offspring throughout pregnancy and lactation.

Pregnancy
The gestation period for dogs is 9 weeks. Pregnant bitches gain weight only slightly until about the sixth week and then gain weight rapidly.

The energy requirements of pregnant bitches are reflected in the pattern of weight gain. Pregnant bitches will need to consume 25-50% more than normal maintenance energy amounts by the end of pregnancy, but energy requirements do not increase until about the sixth week.

Nursing
Pregnant bitches lose weight after giving birth. However, their nutritional needs increase dramatically—energy needs can be 2 to 3 times their normal adult maintenance requirement, depending on litter size—in order to produce the milk supply that will support the growth and nourishment of the offspring. Adequate water intake is also important for sufficient milk volume.

To ensure the nursing bitch is receiving enough nutrition, feed a nutrient-dense diet such as a performance diet or puppy food. Without increasing the amount of food offered at a meal, increase the number of meals throughout the day. Free-choice feed her, offering unlimited access to dry food throughout the day.

Weaning
By five weeks after birth, most puppies are showing an interest in their mother’s food. Gradually, the puppies will begin eating more solid food and nursing less. At the same time, the nursing bitch will usually reduce the amount of food she is eating. Most puppies are completely weaned around 8 weeks after birth. By this time, the mother’s energy requirement is back at the maintenance level, and she should be eating her normal pre-pregnancy diet.

Eukanuba Food for the Pregnant Dog
The best diet for pregnant and nursing bitches is a high-quality, nutrient-dense, commercial pet food that is formulated for all life stages or for growth. Although puppy diets are generally recommended for pregnant or nursing dogs, Eukanuba large-breed puppy formulas are not appropriate for this use due to their energy and mineral content.

Our recommended products are:- Eukanuba High Activity (Performance) Eukanuba Puppy & Junior  Small or Eukanuba Puppy & Junior Medium Breed.

Subject: dachsies

Hi Pat,  I was wondering whether any of the SADC members might have any books on dachsies, preferably mini smooth but otherwise on all the sizes & coats, which they may like to sell and for which I would also pay p&p.   As a newcomer to the breed, I have been disappointed to be able to get only one book (The contemporary Dachshund by Eileen Falconer-Douglas) from Pets Publications, and  Amazon doesn't seem to have any, even secondhand ones.    Any newsletters from any of the English Dachs clubs would be appreciated.   I was particularly trying to locate the book by Elizabeth Howell (Heesom?).   There are plenty of books on training etc., but I specifically wanted books giving backgrounds of the great dogs, pedigrees, photos etc.    Hope I may be lucky!   If you would like to put this is as an advert, please do so, you can edit as you wish, and let me know cost.  Betty Swift sunjon@telkomsa.net
