  • History of Dog Agility
    History of dog agility From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The history of dog agility can be traced to a demonstration in the late 1970s in the United Kingdom . It has since spread rapidly around the world, with major competitions held worldwide. History in the United Kingdom The first widely-documented appearance of dog agility was as entertainment at the Crufts dog show in 1978. John Varley, a committee member from the 1977 show, was tasked with coming up with entertainment for the audience between the obedience and conformation competitions in the main ring. Varley asked dog trainer Peter Meanwell for assistance, and they presented a largely jumping-style course resembling something from the equestrian world to demonstrate dogs' natural speed and agility. [1] Many obstacles recognizable to modern handlers were already present at that demonstration, including the 'Over & Under' (A-frame/tunnel combination), 'Tyre Hoop' (tire), 'Weaving Flags' (weave poles), 'Canvas Tunnel' (collapsed tunnel) and 'Cat Walk' (dogwalk). It was reported in Our Dogs newspaper that in 1974 Meanwell had either been a witness to or participated in such a competition at an agricultural fair, thus predating more widely published accounts for the start of dog agility. By some oral accounts, there was an earlier demo with similar intent using playground articles such as a seesaw (or teeter-totter ) and a tunnel , although this has not been documented. Another account attributes the other obstacles to exhibitions by the Royal Air Force K-9 Corps exhibitions of the time, which is more plausible, given the nature of the first regulations for dog agility in the UK.

  • When Good People Think Strange Things About Dogs
    When Good People Think Strange Things About Dogs Patrick Burns I am thrilled to be here today among all you canine professionals. You see the folks in this room are more than dog trainers. You talk dogs, sleep dogs, write dogs, and debate dogs. You’re not just dog trainers.... You are also dog debaters, dog listeners, dog commentators, dog bloggers, dog list-serv managers, dog authors, dog newsletter editors…. and yes … even dog conference presenters. You are the people who shape – or could shape – a great deal of dog culture in this country. Dog culture. How many of you have thought about culture in the world of dogs? Perhaps we should think of that more because, I will argue, it is culture that is responsible for the fact that so many good people think strange things about dogs. 1 Strange Things To start, look around. How many people in this room are non-white? A strange question, eh? You thought this session was about dogs, didn’t you? The point is that for most of the world, this discussion is strange. In much of Africa, Asia, and Latin America, dogs are not allowed indoors. Who lets an animal indoors that may have fleas and ticks, and that may eat its own feces? Who allows such an animal on the bed? Who lets it lick a child in the face? No one! So, to put a point on it, this obsession with dogs that we have is, for the most part, a European cultural affliction. Most of the world, believe it or not, does not have this affliction.

  • Michael Worboys Inventing Dog Breeds: Jack Russell Terriers
    H U M a N I M A L I A 10:1 Michael Worboys Inventing Dog Breeds: J ack Russell Terriers Today Jack Russell Terriers (JRTs) are among the most popular dogs in Britain and are seen to have long history, dating back to the fox terriers bred by Parson Jack Russell in the early and mid-Victorian period. Yet, JRTs are the dog breed most recently recognized by the British Kennel Club, only being allowed to enter dog shows and to be registered in the Club’s stud book since 2016. This essay explores this paradox. It tells a story of struggles between different groups over the physical form and cultural meaning of this particular type of dog, but similar histories of the contested and contingent creation could be told of every dog breed. Modern dog breeds were invented materially and culturally in the Victorian era, first in Britain before being spread around the world. Then and since, the conformation of individual breeds has been subject to continual reimagining and reinvention by dog fanciers, along with the proliferation breeds to produce the 344 breeds now recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI). History shows that breed could have been differently conceived and specific dog breeds differently made. What makes the recent controversies over JRTs particularly interesting is the sharpness and duration of the disputes over breed status, and their resolution in the existence today of at least five versions of the breed. At its simplest, the clashes were over whether JRTs were to be defined by their function or their form .
