The aim of this study was to determine whether RIs of the general canine population may be applied to the Italian Greyhound (Piccoli Levrieri Italiani or PLI), and to generate breed-specific RIs, where appropriate. Sixty-three privately owned clinically healthy fasted dogs were examined. Routine haematology and biochemistry were performed on 58 enrolled patients using the ADVIA 120 haematology analyzer and the Cobas Mira system, respectively. Changes in haematological and biochemical parameters depending on sex, age and attitude (resting vs. running dogs) were investigated. The results of PLI were compared with the RIs of the general canine population. In those cases in which these RIs were not validated, new RIs were generated according to the guidelines of the American Society of Veterinary Clinical Pathology. Pre-existing RIs were considered valid based on the recommendations by the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI).

  • British Veterinary Association / Kennel Club Hip Dysplasia Scheme
    British Veterinary Association / Kennel Club Hip Dysplasia Scheme Breed Specific Statistics – 1 January 2001 to 31 December 2016 Hip scores should be considered along with other criteria as part of a responsible breeding programme, and it is recommended that breeders choose breeding stock with hip scores around and ideally below the breed median score, depending on the level of HD in the breed. HD status of parents, siblings and progeny for Kennel Club registered dogs should also be considered, and these together with a three generation Health Test Pedigree may be downloaded via the Health Test Results Finder, available on the Kennel Club’s online health tool Mate Select (www.mateselect.org.uk). In addition, estimated breeding values (EBVs) are available for breeds in which a significant number of dogs have been graded, via the same link. For further advice on the interpretation and use of hip scores see www.bva.co.uk/chs The breed median score is the score of the ‘average’ dog in that breed (i.e. an equal number of dogs in that breed have better and worse scores).

  • Visualising the Scottish Deerhound Standard
    VISUALISING THE SCOTTISH DEERHOUND STANDARD “ The most perfect creature of heaven.” -Sir Walter Scott (The Talisman) A presentation on the Scottish Deerhound by Barbara Heidenreich (www.fernhill.com) for the St Lawrence Region Dog Judges Association, August 8, 2012 1 Historical Notes on Function: The Scottish Deerhound is a breed whose antecedents may be as old as 2000 years depicted on sculpted stones dating to 800 A.D. and orally in Celtic legends. Historically, records as early as 1563 describe the “tainchells” held by Mary Queen of Scots where beaters would round up to 2,000 red deer and drive them for the royal event....... “the Queen ordered one of the best dogs let loose on the deer”. On that day it was recorded that 360 deer were killed and 5 wolves. The “deerhound” antecedent was described in 1570 as follows: “There is a kind of hunting dog which they call “leoporarius” and “emissaries” and also “vertragus”; we seek out those which are long in body, light and speedy, with short straight legs, with sparkling eyes, with muscular chest and with the rest of the members on the slender side, except those having rather broad hindquarters are more recommended, and with a long, light and smooth tail. Nevertheless we have seen some brought from Norway and the island of Thule of uncommon speed which in tail and body are quite rough haired. But to say the truth these are not used for their sagacity but for their speed. Of this kind are the British, valued for speed as well as strength, except that by their big body they are more suitable for chasing stag.” Source: Conrad Heresbach, Cologne, 1570 (later the dogs in this passage are described by William Dansey who adds in a footnote to his translation of Arrian published in 1831, “ ..the latter are doubtless Caledonian deer-greyhounds”) Two elements in particular have formed the Deerhound as a distinct breed: Its quarry: the Red Deer (Cervus elaphus), the largest land mammal in Britain, has a size in the Scottish Highlands somewhere around that of a white-tailed deer.

  • The Shetland Sheepdog (Sheltie)
    THE SHETLAND SHEEPDOG (SHELTIE) UNIQUE ORIGIN: Shelties, as they are affectionately called, hail from the rugged Shetland Islands, which lie between Scotland and Norway. These islands are also home to the Shetland Ponies and Shetland Sheep, all diminutive animals. Shetland Sheepdogs were bred by crossing the Border Collie, the rough Collie, and various other breeds. By 1700, the Sheltie was completely developed. They were developed to herd the sheep flocks of the Shetland Islands, and also to protect them from birds of prey, such as eagles. You can still catch Shelties chasing birds. Today, the Sheltie is one of the most popular dogs in America. PERSONALITY: Shetland Sheepdogs are hardy, loyal, obedient, gentle, loving, and extremely trainable. They are incredibly intelligent, ranking 6th out of 132 different dog breeds according to Dr. Stanley Coren, an animal intelligence expert, which means that they understand new commands with less than 5 repetitions and obey first commands 95% of the time. This dog needs a job with plenty of exercise or else they might invent their own entertainment. They are also very in tune to their owner’s thoughts and moods. Shelties are devoted family pets and are especially fond of children. They love attention and love to learn. They thrive in an environment where they’re given playtime, training, and loving attention. They will love you in return tenfold. APPEARANCE: Shelties usually weigh between 12 to 18 pounds and stand approximately 12 to 15 inches tall. Their build is trim with a light frame. They are incredibly beautiful dogs and are known for their beautiful coat.
