VIZSLA VIEWS | ISSUE 2 | 2018 3 NOTE FROM THE EDITOR So, once again the issues of life interfere with volunteer contribution. Both Sissi and I have had life in the way. However, our aim is to put this newsletter out now and to complete a second with the left over items by Christmas. Wish us luck. The other thing that has been impacted is the 2019 calendar. After much deliberation, angst and discussion with the committee, the 2019 calendar will make it for 2020. It is a very special design with contributions from WA artist and Vizsla enthusiast John Butler. Sissi is reluctant to rush this concept through to meet late deadlines, so she will now work on the calendar to ensure it is ready for sale earlier in 2019 for 2020. The concept is beautiful. You won't be disappointed. And if you've submitted photos, they'll be on your wall for 2020. There are some really good things to bring you this newsletter - the Great Vizsla Walk 2018, conceived by Trish Robinson co-ordinated with a band of willing helpers in order to raise welfare funds for Vizsla. With Trish's blessing this total was shared equally with the Hungarian Vizsla Club of Victoria, with whom we work so closely for Vizsla welfare. The results of our Great Cave Bed Raffle - another extraordinary fund raiser for welfare funds. And of course - Abby - the poor girl who found herself in Dubbo pound after being advertised on Gumtree and whose truly remarkable story had many of us clearing things from our eyes. Fendi has given up the idea that the cave bed would go well on the lounge and will accept a blankie instead. Results and critique for our October champ show, Picnics held and imminent, new titles, info on our Tracking trial, and great news from Sue Turner that she has been able to procure some new grounds for our Club's tracking trial next year. Since losing access to Bullangalong in Wingello following its sale, we have struggled for quality grounds. Sue has managed to negotiate access to some extensive grounds with good cover for our future trials. We are excited and grateful to her for her efforts. So, if we've missed out some things this month due to space, etc, they'll be there next issue. 

HVCNSW DESIGNS & IMAGES The Hungarian Vizsla Club of NSW has very little in the way of tangible 'assets'. One thing we do have is a portfolio of image designs that have been purchased or donated to the Club for purposes of fund raising and product marketing. They are unique and they belong exclusively to the HVC NSW. We use those designs on items in our Cafe Press store, and on our car stickers, etc. We appreciate the value of those designs as part of our identity and also their value to the breed for raising funds for welfare, etc. We have not entered into any license agreement for their use outside the

Hungarian Vizsla Club of NSW. We will vigorously work to protect our TM copyright and intellectual property should we see those designs used other than by the Club for the Club. Hungarian Vizsla

10 ISSUE 2 | 2018 | VIZSLA VIEWS HEALTH & FITNESS MATTERS Food Recall Black Hawk Pet Care have temporarily ceased production of their Grain Free Salmon dry food and quarantined remaining stock following reports of gastrointestinal upset and cases of bloody diarrhoea in dogs that had eaten the food. As the salmon meal used in the food is suspected of being an issue, Prime100 have also quarantined and ceased production of their ZeroG Salmon Dry Food until the investigation is concluded. Below are statements from the companies posted on their Facebook pages: Black Hawk Pet Care Black Hawk take the care of our pets very seriously. Due to the popularity of Black Hawk Grain Free Salmon, we recently broadened our network of suppliers of salmon meal. As part of our commitment to the quality of our products, we undertook testing to ensure the additional supplier met our high quality standards. All results were compliant with the norms for the product. We have recently become aware of a small number of dogs suffering symptoms of an upset tummy. We take these reports very seriously. We have completed extensive testing of the product to ensure that it poses no harm. All tests to date have come back well within normal ranges. We are continuing to test to ensure we can identify the issue as soon as possible. Until we can guarantee the exact same level of consistency and quality that our pets are accustomed to, we have ceased production of the Grain Free Salmon product and quarantined all remaining stock. Please note that the broader Black Hawk range is not impacted by this and it relates only to the Grain Free Salmon product. We encourage breeders and pet owners to contact us with any questions at Telephone: 1300 654 279 Email: [email protected] I can also be contacted directly at [email protected] Prime100 Hello everyone, Due to the current quarantine of Black Hawk Salmon meal based dry food throughout Australia (news story in comments). We have decided to temporarily quarantine our ZeroG Salmon Dry Food from all stockists until further investigation. As there is only one Salmon meal supplier in Australia and it is not possible to import salmon meal, we have decided to cease all manufacturing of this variety until a clear understanding of what the potential issues with this salmon meal may be. As all of our ZeroG diets are single protein and very high meat based we have no alternative but to quarantine this line until further notice. We want to be very proactive with our response and not wait this investigation out until we have our findings. We would rather be ultra-cautious in this situation and quarantine the product first. Please note this DOES NOT affect any of our other Salmon products ie: Salmon & Tapioca Roll, as we use fresh salmon from a completely different supplier. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call or email me [email protected]. Kind Regards, Tzena Naarden What should you do? As with any pet illness, it’s essential that owners who are concerned about their pet’s health contact their veterinarian as soon as possible. If your veterinarian suspects a food-associated illness, he or she can log this information via the PetFAST system at: www.ava.com.au/petfast. This allows any trends related to food-associated illness in pets to be tracked and traced so that further action can be taken.

VIZSLA VIEWS | ISSUE 2 | 2018 11 Diary of a Rescue

Day 1 - Friday 13th Ad in Gumtree - FTGH 2 yr old female. Have a feeling this girl is probably not desexed. Rang owner, around 5pm - he has surrendered her to Dubbo pound this morning. Could you tell me where she's from? Sydney - I'm thinking it will be the Hungarian man in Wentworthville who has been responsible for breeding a number of unregistered litters over the years and we've rehomed a few through the club. ‘Can you tell me what she's like?' ‘Oh, she's no problem' - so why is she in the pound?!!! (I don't know what happened. My dad brought me to this place full of dogs who tell me they didn't have homes or that they escaped and couldn't find their way home. Others like me, were just brought here and left - but they tell me they've been here for days now. I was hoping dad was coming back in a couple of hours. I can't think what I've done wrong. I did eat that peach seed by mistake last month - and needed a big operation, but I didn't mean it.)

Day 2 or 3 - 14th or 15th Contacted by member willing to drive HOURS to collect her and deliver to either Sydney or Melbourne. Fantastic! Weekend is more convenient. We'll work on that. (It was cold last night. Some dogs kept barking all night. Will he come back for me today?)

Offers from a couple of people to foster if needed - one not a club member, which is of course more difficult.

Day 4 - Monday 16th Rang Dubbo pound - some suggestion owner will be back to collect her today. If not, HVC NSW name is on her. (the lady who gives me dinner said a lady rang from some kind of club to ask if they could take over my care. I wonder if dad knows)

Day 5 - Tuesday 17th Rang the pound back - ‘The sheila from Vizsla rescue is on the phone for you'. No, he didn't come to get her. Yes, she is listed as being taken by HVC NSW, will be vet checked and desexed, registered to club contact, etc. Her fees have been paid. It's official.

Day 6 - Wednesday 18th Will be vet checked Thursday.

(There has been a flurry of activity in the background over these days - lots of emails back and forth to committee - have found a qualified trainer in Dubbo who may be able to collect and board and assess her for a few days between desexing and collection and transportation by Chris. Foster care?? We really are limited in our experienced foster options. ....Approached Rosalind in Wingham who has previously fostered and boarded for us. Rate negotiated.)

Offers of help from another kind person in Dubbo who is involved in rescue for other breeds-. So much kindness.

12 ISSUE 2 | 2018 | VIZSLA VIEWS Diary of a Rescue continued...

Day 7 - Thursday 19th Expecting Abby to be vet checked and desexed today. Rang to check on that. Nope, she has a large fairly recent scar on her abdomen. Vet concerned the desexing may be more complicated. Pound rang her previous vet to ask if she'd been desexed at the time of previous surgery. Nope. Surgery was because she swallowed a peach seed. (aarhh, is she a serial pest about eating inappropriate items? Need to contact previous owner. Have his number from the ad). Vaccinated today. Abby will be desexed tomorrow. (got looked at today by some new people, and they gave me a needle. Said I'll be having a visit to a vet tomorrow and an operation. Oh, that's scary - I had one just a couple of months ago when I swallowed that pesky peach seed. Hope this operation is not as big as that one! It hurt!)

Day 8 - Friday 20th Abby's surgery postponed by vet at the last minute - feels that there might be a low grade infection in her wound so sent back to pound on antibiotics. Booked for Thursday 26th. Probably allows us more time to work out her future. Previous vaccination history unknown - unable to be boarded in commercial facility for two weeks, so unable to go to Rosalind as planned. Need new option for foster care!! Trainer and rescue person from Dubbo plans to visit pound to assess her on Monday. Went to see the vet - they had a good look at my tummy scar, prodded and poked it and said ‘not today Flabby Abby’. (They said something about me being a bit overweight? Rude!) Something about an infection, and I need some tablets for a week, and that they'll see me next week. The lady from the club thing had rung them to pay for a night stay there - and something about someone would pick me up and check me out. To see if I'm nice. But I'm back at the place with all the dogs tonight. Tablets in my dinner.

Day 9 & 10 - Weekend of 21st, 22nd Posted on Facebook page about foster dilemma. Pen steps up. She is such a great option - five rehomes of her own over the years, two or is it three fosters? Three I think?. Wow, we are so lucky.

Day 11 - Monday 23rd Try to get desexing booking changed to Wednesday 25th as Karen the trainer is driving to Sydney on Thursday 26th and she could meet Pen in Bathurst, probably saving her 5 hours of driving!! What a good option... but of course it doesn't work out. Sooo disappointing. Karen sick today - unable to make the assessment. The pound staff tell us that Abby's good with other dogs, and nice with people. Over the top. Well, she's bound to be very stressed at the moment. She's all paid for now - Council paperwork done.

Day 12 - Tuesday 24th Contacted owner again to try to find out more about her. At least we now know about the peach seed incident - his mate was throwing a ball in the yard, it landed near the fence and Abby saw the peach seed roll and picked it up and swallowed it. She normally doesn't go looking for this stuff! Phhew! Owner says he'd would like to visit her in the pound - um... no.... think that might make it much harder for her. Extra night at the vet's paid for, and an Elizabethan collar 'just in case'.

Day 13 - Wednesday 25th Still at the place where there are lots and lots of dogs who come and go.

We feel pretty confident we may have confirmed Abby's new home. Her new family adopted a club assisted rehome in 2015. Mika was two years old at that time. She is now very ill with a diagnosed brain tumour. Her family is devastated and have been told time is very limited, as this is an aggressive lesion.

Day 14 - Thursday 26th Taken from that place to the hospital again. This time they tell me I'm going to have an anaesthet...... continued »

VIZSLA VIEWS | ISSUE 2 | 2018 13 Diary of a Rescue continued...

Day 15 - Friday 27th WOW!! I had a significant accommodation upgrade after being picked up from the hospital by nice lady called Pen, who told the vet she was here on behalf of the Vizsla club. I'm not a member of that club... wonder how she knew about me? She has two nice Vizslas and cows and chooks and horses... it's a wonderland! Sooo warm... I've got a cut on my tummy, and get to have some tablets with my dinner.

Day 16/17 - Saturday and Sunday Spent the weekend with this lovely lady - got to do all sorts of things with her nice dogs. I didn't chase the cats (they do look scary!). I'm trying to be a really good girl so I find out how things work here. She says I'm a bit of a pig with my food, but... I haven't seen any other pig here so I'm not sure what she means?

Day 18 Monday 30th We are told of the sad news of Mika's passing yesterday. Her family are devastated.

Days 19, 20, 21, 22 - Tuesday 31st through to Friday3rd Abby continues to show Pen she is keen to learn, keen to please, and willing to be involved in anything. She has discovered her voice - one of the ‘seal' barks. Mika also had a seal bark. Mika also came from the Hungarian man in Sydney who breeds unregistered litters. On Friday afternoon, she became uncharacteristically quiet and quite clingy with Pen. A thorough check found a small cut at the back of her mouth. She had been playing with the other dogs and perhaps an illicit stick might have done a little damage.

Day 23 - Saturday 4th All good, back to normal happy self, eating without problem, completely normal. Phew!!

Day 24, 25 - Sunday, Monday 5th/6th Abby continues to flourish, arrangements are being firmed up for her new family - Todd, Ruth and Alice - to drive from Pambula to Oberon to meet and collect her next weekend. They see this as an unimaginable opportunity to have a little piece of Mika still with them. Some of us shed tears as we listened to talented Alice's song of tribute to her love for Mika.

Day 26 - Tuesday 7th Wow!! Just Wow!! Scout and Archie and I got to play in some amazing white stuff today. The whole place looked so strange. The cows and calves weren't happy, the horses had their warm coats on. We had a ball playing, and then back inside to keep warm with Pen. She's the BEST!! I'm so pleased the other guys let me share her. She keeps talking about my ‘new family’ coming this weekend? I'm not sure what she means again.

14 ISSUE 2 | 2018 | VIZSLA VIEWS Diary of a Rescue continued...

Day 27 - Wednesday 8th

Day 28 - Thursday 9th Wow, i think someone said it's a month since I went to that awful place. Goodness knows why he dumped me there. Something about moving house? Well, I've moved house haven't I? Bet he's not in a house as nice as this. Yeah, sure, the ladies were mostly nice, but it was so noisy and soooo cold at night! Food was awful. Here I get nice food - a big bag arrived in the mail from the Vizsla Club - whoever they are? It's yummy. Am I really a pig? I thought I was a dog....

Day 29 - Friday 10th

Day 30 - Saturday 11th Some nice people arrived to visit Pen (and us dogs) today. They are really nice... they seem especially excited to meet me. They brought some stuff that Pen was pretty excited about - yummy breads from their shop. They gave me a lot of attention, called me beautiful and said they were so pleased to meet me. I like them a lot. When they got ready to leave, they invited me into the car... I like the car. They said goodbye to Pen - and Pen said goodbye to me. Said I'd been a really good girl and was in for a better life. I'm not sure what she means? When the nice people left, they forgot to take me out of the car. But they seemed so excited to have me there, I just went with it... We rang some lady called Ros when we got to Goulburn, she seemed happy that they were happy. They told her that I was a ‘beautiful creature' - well, of course! It was a long drive to get to what they told me is my new home. Another one! Life's good - even after one day, I woke up in the girl's bed - Alice her name is. She was pretty pleased about that. They took me to the beach and I met lots of new friends and saw dolphins. Not sure why they keep forgetting and calling me Mika? Almost like I've been here before. That's ok, I don't mind when life is so sweet. You were right Pen - life is good! Thanks for the holiday at your place. I think I'm going to like it here!'

FOOTNOTE So, as you've seen, the extraordinary irony of this amazing story is that we know who bred Abby, and it is the same person who bred Mika. Abby is two years younger than Mika, but the same breeding. They are sisters. We all had a very spooky moment when we realised. No rehome has ever felt more like it was simply ‘meant to be'. As Todd said - ‘It's like Mika said, look I've got a bit of a problem with my health at the moment, but I've got a plan for you don't worry.'

Vale Mika - and thanks.

Due to the generosity of members, fundraising efforts including the cave bed raffle and the Great Vizsla Walk 2018, we have financial resources to ensure rescue dogs are taken into care, worked up to be the best they can be, assessed and rehomed appropriately. We can also support rehomes who might have a little more trouble settling into their new homes with professional support and/ or helpful specific books. THANK YOU.

Randy was rehomed by the Club in 2014 in WA when his family were relocating overseas. He was six and had been bred by an unregistered breeder in western NSW. He had some issues with 'dry eyes' and needed ongoing specialist monitoring. His new family said he 'fitted seamlessly' into their family and though he was starting to show some signs of aging, they were shocked at his sudden death from a ruptured splenic tumour Sinead & Kane miss him very much. Most importantly, he was our beautiful Randy and we miss him every single day. Though we are still grieving his passing, we think we'd like to find a puppy from a reputable breeder within the next year.' Fingers crossed they find a lovely puppy to remind them of Randy.

‘Wilbur’ 9 September, 2006 - 31 July, 2018

We were very fortunate to have Wilbur join us when he was 8 years old, bringing with him the joy of having another Vizsla in our lives - all thanks to Ros. He was such a gentle soul and enjoyed a wonderful retirement where he had constant love and companionship and wanted for nothing. He was almost 12 years old when he became desperately unwell with cancer and we had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to him. When you give your heart to a dog you have to give your whole heart and that's what we did for Wilbur. I'm sure he knows that he will always be remembered. With great sadness Cheryl and Trevor Leisk

VIZSLA VIEWS | ISSUE 2 | 2018 19 When member Saskia Lawrence told us her dogs wouldn't use the Snoozer Cave Bed she bought them, we thought things were a bit odd. She offered an unused cave bed for Club Welfare in some way. With Sissi's IT skills we set up a raffle via our website shop and started to spread the word. The response was amazing, and we felt maybe one bed was not enough and looked to perhaps purchase another....when we approached Kate from the Australian company, Henley & Co to see how long their discount offer would be available, she immediately offered to donate a second bed to us and included freight to our winner. We were overwhelmed by the generosity of Saskia and Kate, and blown away by the interest in our raffle. So - after selling 579 tickets at $5 each we raised a total of $2,935 - ALL directly destined for Welfare funds. We wanted to make it all as completely transparent as possible so on a sunny morning with Fendi supervising, Wayne drew out the two winning tickets on a live stream to the Club's Facebook page. First drawn was Saskia's for Ziva in Brisbane. Things worked out perfectly there too - as Saskia had to come down to Brisbane and was able to drop the bed off to Kathryn Wittkopp & Ziva, so no freight costs involved their either! Second ticket out of the tin was for Emily Flood, and Hank in Mudgee, which seemed so appropriate. Hank was one of our young rehomes last year. He was not easy, and had a brief stay with an older couple who had previously owned Vizslas. But he was a bit too energetic for them, and so went to Emily, whose family had previously had a rehome through the club called Murray. Both dogs are clearly not related to Saskia's - they have the instant cave bed understanding gene and we didn't wait long to get photos of them demonstrating their prizes. It's just amazing when things like this happen and are so immediately successful. Raffles are something we've not enjoyed in the past - selling tickets in person is not a fun job, but this... well this is easy to manage thanks to Sissi, and easy for people everywhere to access. I think we'll do another one sometime next year... just thinking what other Vizsla necessities can be raffled. Huge thank you to everyone who helped, and to everyone who purchased tickets. Rescues like Miss Abby are able to have a smooth and appropriate transition to their new homes thanks to our available funds.

20 ISSUE 2 | 2018 | VIZSLA VIEWS The Great Vizsla Walk A HUGE thank you to all of those who attended the first 'Great Vizsla Walk' on Sunday September 9th in Brisbane. It was a glorious day and around 80 Vs attended - a few even made the road trip from interstate! Thanks to your generosity, our little Vizsla community managed to raise...

**drumroll please**

$1,790 for the HVC NSW welfare program!

The HVCNSW is very grateful for the support for their rescue/rehoming programme. Funds are used in a variety of ways. If dogs are in shelters, we purchase them, foster them and find the very best new home for them. We ensure they are as fit and healthy as possible, have funded important surgery for those that need it, etc. If the dog is safe in their current home, we put appropriate new home options in touch to find out more, give back up and support, and if the dog has some tricky issues we will offer the support of a behavioural vet, initial consultations sponsored by the club’s welfare funds.

Financial resources allow us to do the best job we can.

Thank you to Trish for this concept, thanks to Vivian, Lisa, Rhondda and Haylee for all of their help in the organisation of the walk, and to the sponsors. And thank you to all those ditsy owners who give up a Sunday morning to drive miles just to walk with other ditsy owners and all their beautiful dogs!

22 ISSUE 2 | 2018 | VIZSLA VIEWS BAYVIEW PICNIC We had the customary fair winter weather for Bayview - not quite as warm as we have sometimes enjoyed, but not to cool for the Vizslas to enjoy swimming and retrieving. It was too hard to do a head count. Probably more than 40 Vizslas brought their people along. it's always a fun get together. I guess it would be wonderful if even more of those attending were club members but it's a public venue and we can't restrict attendance. Hopefully all will gain from knowing that there is an organisation where good advice, support and breed expertise is freely available. Always wonderful to see those familiar faces and dogs. Thanks to everyone for knowing how good it is for the soul to stand and watch the russets rumble. Many thanks to those who gave permission for their photos to be used. See you next June.

VIZSLA VIEWS | ISSUE 2 | 2018 23 Workshop Report by Julie Holden A freezing winter morning greeted a small but keen group of Vizslas and their owners, as we embarked on the Club’s Introduction to K9 Nosework course with instructor Peta Clarke. The ‘game’ is pretty simple, find the target scent and show me where it is. Training for nose work looks a lot like the carnage on Christmas morning - boxes everywhere! It's easy, the dog needs to sniff out the treat somewhere in all the boxes. You find it, you get to eat it. Pairing the treat with the target scent comes later, then working to find a target scent. It was so great to see dogs being dogs, each in their own way. For some it was hard to decide what to do, with eyes darting back to their owner pleading with them to “help me out here human, you always know what to do”. For some it was game on and those treats were tracked dog and gobbled up, even if they were on the big scary ‘tower of terror’ of boxes which was guaranteed to fall. The dogs had to use their dog brains and solve the problems - it was a delight to watch as every dog learned from each run and approached new challenges with their own balance of excitement (“those boxes have delicious BBQ chicken in them, I know it!”) and caution (“oh oh, that box fell on my head last time").

Peta’s insights into the individual dog personalities, based on her amazing ability to observe and read the dogs, was extraordinary and we all learned a lot about our dogs, and ourselves. It was a fabulous day, Nose Work is certainly a powerful and satisfying activity for Vizsla families. It works their brains, and that's exhausting stuff, resulting in tired and happy dogs at the end of the day. I'm sure that all the participants now have a ridiculous collection of cardboard boxes decorating their houses! Huge thanks to the club members who did all the hard work arranging the day, including the most fabulous lunch. And thanks to Peta for showing us how much fun it can been finding chicken in a box!

24 ISSUE 2 | 2018 | VIZSLA VIEWS D VERS SH W 2018 This is our third year of responsibly representing the breed to the general public at this event. It's a couple of big days and a reasonable amount of 'set up' organisation - done the past two years by Cass. Thanks Cass! We are fortunate to have members who support us by bringing along dogs for the public to see and who pass on information regarding the breed, it's suitability, and how to contact registered breeders via the HVC NSW. Thanks to Robyn with Marvin and Sterling plus Swan, Caesar and Beaucoup who were on the stand Saturday morning with Ros, Cass and Val. Jenna and Jessie drove 5 hours from Wagga to be part of the team on Saturday afternoon with Cass & Val - and crazily drove home that evening! What an effort. And apparently they are up for it again next year! Hey guys, Just wanted to say thanks for the opportunity for being a part of the breed stand. We loved being able to show how much Vizslas mean to us, particularly our little girl! It was great to meet members of the club face to face, as living in Wagga we don’t get these opportunities often! We had a wonderful day and hope to be able to help out again in the future. Have attached some photos of Addy enjoying herself, although we didn’t take many as it was a very busy stand! Cheers, Jessie Addy was really enthusiastic about her 'job' too.

Sunday morning saw Steve with Ezsther, Geoff & Jennifer with Millie, Adrian & Dale with Ianto. Julie & Marcelle brought Csaba and Rufus, making a full house in the morning. Melinda came in for the 'PM & pack up' committee 'shift' and Pauline, Charlotte and Lilac had a horror arrival getting stuck in the carpark lift for about 15 minutes. When the doors wouldn't open on the ground floor, people kept hopping in at the upper levels, crowding poor Charlotte, Pauline and Lilac into the rear of the lift with their crate and bags. Fortunately, Lilac had studied the maps before they left home and was able to save the day once they escaped the lift so that they could find the stand and deal with the big crowds on Sunday. A big thanks to everyone for their time and assistance. Next year the event moves from Moore Park to Homebush, where there will be a lot more room. Hopefully it will be as well organised and we'll have a great team again.

VIZSLA VIEWS | ISSUE 2 | 2018 25 VALE ‘Shiloh' 29 May, 2005 - 4 September, 2018 Loved and missed by Stephen, Raina, Sophie & Sam

Sophie’s story: When we went to pick you up from Brian and Jenny Neaves’ house in 2005 you were one face in a litter of wriggly puppies. When I knelt down to coo at you and your siblings, you jumped up and somehow managed to get your needle-puppy teeth on my bottom lip and pull me down. So, from the beginning, I think a part of me knew you were gonna be a bit of a troublemaker. You were an anxious little fella who didn’t like it if we wandered far, or changed routine, and got bossy if your food wasn’t just right. In other words, you fit right in to our family. You kinda liked to snuggle when you were a puppy. I think it was only because you were tired enough to just flop on us, and small enough to be carried and not do much about it. Puppyhood meant you had a lot of energy, so you basically crashed each night provided we took you on long walks and ran you ragged. But it was also evident from early on that you were a little… sassy. And tushy. You knew the tricks. But it was less about pleasing us, and more about what was in it for you. Sure, you could sit. Yeah, you could lie down, roll over, shake. You would tolerate hugs. But you’d note if there was no treat in our hands, or if your food didn’t have just a little bit of cheese on it, or if we didn’t have one of your toys at the ready. You knew what we wanted, but you mostly knew what you wanted. That made things a little difficult- especially as you got much older, and change became harder, and being alone in the house was frightening. You had your own way of doing things. You also had your own ways of showing affection, and showing happiness. You still didn’t like being snuggled as you got older, but you did still like your ear-rubs and chin scratches. You were maybe a little catlike in that regard. But you were not calm until my folks settled down in the living room for the evening, with you curled up on your bed next to them. Sometimes, if I sat down next to your bed, you would rest your head on my knee. And I wouldn’t want to move. Even in your old age, you were sneaky and still kinda sassy. If we’d just finished making a meal with meat, you’d wait until we’d left the kitchen, then reach up and lick the countertop (‘technically, it’s not counter surfing’). You weren’t as energetic these past few years. We knew you were getting old, and we kinda thought you knew, too. You didn’t run around that much, or need long walks, or anything like that. You were happy to go outside, do your business, and come back in. You were happy to do a short little run around with one of your toys, crying ‘roo-roo-roo!’ So when you played really hard with a bunch of other dogs on your morning walk the other day, Dad commented that you played like a puppy. You had an amazing morning running around, out in the rain with a bunch of other Vizslas. I kind of wonder if you had some idea that you weren’t going to be around for much longer. I called you 'a bit of a troublemaker’, earlier. I’d like to apologise for that, but here's what I meant: You were tushy, and bossy, and sassy, and you were just you. Beautiful, wonderful you. You were a good boy. You were a very good boy and we loved you. We all loved you very much. The vet today was patient with us. She told us to take our time, after you'd left us. So, we gave your head a few more lasting pats. You were never big on snuggles, after all.

26 ISSUE 2 | 2018 | VIZSLA VIEWS VETVaccination ofTALK dogs & cats Australian Veterinary Association Vaccination guidelines aim to vaccinate every animal with 'core' vaccines. This relates to 'herd' immunity, where a large proportion of a herd of animals (the dogs in your area) are vaccinated, protecting the herd from an outbreak of infectious disease. The AVA (Australian Veterinary Association) updated its policy on vaccination of dogs and cats in June 2009, and in August this year, re-ratified it as a position statement.

AVA Policy Every dog and cat should be appropriately immunised, and each individual animal should be vaccinated as frequently as considered necessary by their veterinarian to provide protection. The vaccination protocol to be followed and the vaccines to be used should be determined within a veterinarian–client–patient relationship. The decision should be determined by factors such as the individual animal’s health status, the animal’s age and likely effects of maternally derived antibodies (MDA), the particular disease and environmental risks to the animal, and the duration of immunity (DOI) of available vaccines.

Background Vaccination is one of the most common veterinary procedures undertaken in small animal practice. Over the past 5 decades, vaccines have demonstrated proven life-saving benefits with minimal associated risks. Vaccination programs have not only played an important role in preventing infectious diseases, they have helped foster early detection and treatment of other diseases through promoting regular clinical examinations during the life of the animal.1 Vaccination recommendations in the past were considered a simple part of animal care, but they are now considered a complex and controversial issue.1 While vaccination in general is considered very safe, vaccine associated adverse events are possible, and therefore when considering an appropriate protocol for a patient, veterinarians should aim to reduce the vaccine load on individual animals2 provided this does not increase the risk of disease. Adverse vaccine experiences are defined as any side effect, unintended consequence or lack of protection associated with the administration of a vaccine product.3 This includes any injury, toxicity or hypersensitivity reaction associated with the vaccination. The majority of adverse reactions are transient and self-limiting. The severest forms of adverse reactions, such as injection site sarcoma development in cats, are very rare. Serological (or titre) testing is a method of assessing immunity prior to vaccination and it has for some time been used in published studies as a method of determining DOI.4-8 Serological testing cannot determine true protective immunity when a patient is challenged, as it does not account for any cell-mediated immunity present, virulence of the virus strain or dose of viral challenge; however, none of these are easily measured or predicted, so serological titres are used in lieu of more accurate determinations. Scientific information suggests that the DOI delivered by many of the available vaccines (based on either serological titres or challenge experiments) is variable, but in most animals DOI for the core vaccine components is significantly longer than 12 months (and often greater than 3 years) and for non-core vaccine components is often 12 months or less. This information has been refined in the 2015 World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA) guidelines suggesting a triennial core vaccination schedule and personalised non-core vaccination schedule. It is worth noting that extended DOI (> 12 months) for the core vaccine components may not persist for all vaccinated patients, with scientific evidence showing that 1.3–5% of animals at least 1–3 years from last vaccination do not carry sufficient antibody titres to suggest protection against canine parvovirus5,6,14,15 and 0.4–3.5% of dogs being non-serological responders to one of the core vaccine components.5,6 These facts should be taken into consideration when tailoring a vaccination protocol, particularly in high-risk disease locations. With the incidence of some of the life-threatening infectious diseases becoming very low in some regions in Australia, the need to adhere to strict vaccination protocols has been questioned. However, disease outbreaks and epidemics still occur, and risk may vary considerably depending on region. Canine parvovirus risk in Australia, for example, has been shown to be significantly higher in rural than urban areas16 and is associated with areas of relative socioeconomic disadvantage,17 which may necessitate greater precaution with vaccination in these regions. continued 

VIZSLA VIEWS | ISSUE 2 | 2018 27 Guidelines The Vaccination Guideline Group (VGG) of the WSAVA recommends that vaccines be defined as core, non-core or not recommended.2 Core vaccines should be administered to all animals to protect them against severe, life-threatening diseases that have a global distribution. Non-core vaccines are required only by those animals whose geographic location, local environment or lifestyle places them at risk of contracting specific infections. Not recommended vaccines are those that have insufficient scientific evidence to justify their use. Table 1. WSAVA VGG 2015 vaccination groupings*

Dogs Canine distemper virus (CDV) Parainfluenza virus (PI) Coronavirus Canine adenovirus (CAV) Bordetella bronchiseptica (Bb) Canine parvovirus (CPV-2) Leptospira interrogans

* Vaccines unavailable in Australia are not displayed The AVA supports vaccination schedules that recognise that requirements for vaccination will differ based on the individual patient, situation and veterinarian–client–patient relationship. As such, it is not possible to give prescriptive guidelines for vaccinating dogs. The AVA supports administration of core vaccines to all companion animals to protect them against severe, life-threatening diseases that have a global distribution. Vaccines with extended DOI (e.g. triennial) may be used for core vaccination in adult dogs where risk of disease does not necessitate more frequent revaccination; however, local animal and environmental factors, including but not limited to increased risk of infection (e.g. increased incidence in the population, upcoming boarding) and acknowledged lack of sterile immunity with some core vaccines (e.g. feline herpesvirus 1 and feline calicivirus) may dictate a more traditional annual core vaccination schedule in some situations. Serological (titre) testing can be considered as a method of evaluating immunity, but as noted above it does not fully reflect protective immunity because it does not account for any cell-mediated immunity present, virulence of the virus strain or dose of viral challenge. Also interpretation of these serological (antibody) tests varies depending on the test methodology (reference laboratory vs in-clinic), how the result is to be used (e.g. determining vaccination status, determining seroconversion post- initial vaccination schedule, determining need for revaccination, shelter management) and the particular infectious agent being assessed in terms of antibody response (e.g. canine parvovirus vs feline herpesvirus). Hence prescriptive recommendations are not part of this policy. The following references provide further useful information when deciding on appropriate patient management.4,5,8,18,19 Puppy and kitten core vaccinations are vitally important in preventing disease. Because of the variability in the level and duration of MDA among individual animals, core vaccines must be administered to puppies and kittens, from 6 to 8 weeks of age, then every 2–4 weeks with timing of the final dose being not earlier than the age of 16 weeks.2,10 Although some canine vaccines have label claims for a 10-week finish to a puppy vaccination protocol, it is still considered good practice to use a 16-week vaccination if any unacceptable environmental risks exist for the young dog.10 In disease outbreak situations, regardless of age, any animals that are not fully immunised must be kept isolated from at-risk areas for disease until at least 7–14 days after vaccination, which is considered the minimum time for seroconversion to occur.20 In neonates, this means isolation from at-risk areas until at least 7–14 days after final (16 week) neonatal vaccination. Puppy preschool properly conducted in a clean environment should not pose a risk to a puppy that is yet to receive its full course of vaccinations.21 A subsequent ‘adult’ booster vaccine has traditionally been administered approximately 12 months after the last puppy or kitten vaccine, but recent WSAVA VGG guidelines now recommend this subsequent booster may be given from 6 months of age.2 This will help catch the small proportion of patients that failed to respond to the previous vaccination and will reduce the risk of disease for these patients in at-risk environments. An annual health check is strongly recommended, even if animals are not to be vaccinated. Revaccination recommendations should aim to create and maintain clinically relevant immunity while minimising the potential for adverse reactions. The use of vaccines in the animal shelter environment presents unique challenges in achieving an optimum level of protection, given the animals are often highly susceptible and shelters may operate within significant financial constraints. The absolute minimum vaccination protocol in this situation would be a single administration of core vaccines at or before the time of admission to the shelter. For puppies and kittens in high-risk shelters, ideally, and where funding permits, vaccination should start at 4–6 weeks of age and be given every 2 weeks until 16–20 weeks of age.2,18 The AVA considers that all shelters should aim to vaccinate puppies and kittens every 2 weeks until 16–20 weeks of age. Non-core vaccines target diseases that are a risk in a limited geographic region or are a relative risk because of the lifestyle of the pet. The decision to use non-core vaccines is made for individual pets based upon the particular requirements of the individual and in consultation between the veterinarian and client. Many non-core vaccines require annual vaccination.

ŠŠ Informed owner consent is important when vaccination protocols are used ‘off label’. Any adverse event should be reported, identifying the product, batch, animal and reaction involved, to the manufacturer or the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) Adverse Experience Reporting Program.

It is with a great deal of sadness that we have had to farewell our much loved dog, ‘Paige’. She will always be remembered for her unconditional loyalty, affection, happy and gentle nature and the dog with the waggiest tail. Also her stoic attitude till the very end, despite her ailments in the later months of her life. Bailey, our other elderly Vizsla, will miss his best friend dearly, as they have been together for over 13½ years. A big ‘thank you’ to Paige's breeders, Fay Harris and Barb Kerrison, for allowing Paige to come and live with us when her sister ‘Pia’ was taken by a snake bite as a puppy at our farm in 2005. A very difficult farewell for a very very much loved pet. Peter, Helen & Bailey

HVCNSW TRACKING TRIAL by Narelle Vale The Vizsla Club Tracking Trial was held over two days, August 11th and 12th, at two different grounds with two judges, and for the first time including Track & Search tracks. Following the unexpected sudden death of popular Tracking judge Tiki Friezer, we were lucky enough to find judges in our own breed who were available to judge this weekend. By using both of them, it allowed our two Vizsla owning and tracking enthusiast judges to enter their own dogs, with Tracey Knox able to judge Sue Turners 'Enya' and Sue in turn judging Tracey's 'Josie' and 'Tonic'. The trial was held at Blue Circle grounds, New Berrima, and John Cash was kind enough to let us use his property at Bungonia. Unfortunately the weather was not at all kind on the Saturday, with gale force winds and very dry conditions, plus an extremely large number of kangaroos at Bungonia. We had an excellent number of entries with seven Vizslas and one Flatcoated Retriever. Ruth Brooks and Helen Frew both competed in TSD (track and search). Currently, you can only compete in TSD if you have obtained your Tracking Champion qualification, and Sue was looking to join the Champions with her track eight. Unfortunately over the weekend we didn't have any passes, with Andrea who travelled up from Wagga with her two dogs and Narelle also all failing to gain a pass. We are looking forward to next year's trial which will be held at our new trial grounds at Douglas Park.
