Nor'east Toy Dog Cluster Premium List Here are the safety guidelines for the Nor'East Toy Dog Cluster Please read them carefully They will be enforced NOR'EAST TOY DOG CLUSTER COVID RULES IN THIS NEW NORMAL PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND ADHERE STRICTLY When this Corona virus hit, we were all shocked and eager to find the answer to one question... “When can we resume life as we know it”? While we still do not have a clear answer to that question, we do know that there is a great desire to begin to venture out and do some of the things we enjoy if we can do them carefully. It is in that spirit that the Nor'East Toy Dog Cluster, supported by the Officers, Board and Members of the Classic Toy Dog Club of Western Massachusetts and the Town & Country Toy Dog Club of Eastern Massachusetts, have developed the following procedures and practices for our 2021 Cluster of Shows and Events. Everyone who attends the cluster for any event or in any capacity is covered by these “cluster rules” as stated below. IF YOU ARE ILL, FEEL UNWELL, COUGHING, SNEEZING, RUNNING A TEMPERATURE, OR BEEN EXPOSED TO ANYONE WITH COVID-19 WITHIN THE LAST TWO WEEKS, PLEASE STAY HOME. ENTRY FEES WILL NOT BE REFUNDED IN THESE CASES. Respect the directives of Club Officials, and Show Committee members to keep the show safe. Honor all members of the dog show community, by adhering to Covid-19 guidelines. Many in the dog community are in high-risk categories. They are present demonstrating their passionate efforts to make these events safe, sustainable, and successful. Please review the AKC COVID Conformation Best Practice Guideline. Failure to follow the directive of Club Officers and/or Show Committee members can result in a Bench hearing, and expulsion from the grounds. By the act of entering the show grounds beginning May 27 thru May 30, 2021, the event participant acknowledges awareness of the risks associated during a pandemic, and grants a waiver of liability in order to engage in any of the activities as part of the Classic Toy Dog Club of Western Massachusetts, Inc. & Town & Country Toy Dog Club of Eastern Massachusetts, Inc. Toy Group Dog Shows. The participant agrees to adhere to the following stipulations identified to enhance safety, in order to engage in the above described events. PLEASE BRING WHAT YOU NEED TO KEEP YOUR DOGS COOL! If a dog is in distress you have waived your right and we will break into the car to protect the dog’s health and safety. WE WILL BE FOLLOWING THE SHOW AND GO PHILOSOPHY: To minimize the number of persons near the rings at any one time, be aware of and adhere to your scheduled times. Do not arrive at your designated location more than 15 minutes prior to your scheduled time and exit the area upon completion of your participation. SPORTING EVENT This is a non-spectator sporting event. The shows are closed to the public. Anyone attending the shows must either be an owner, breeder, volunteer, exhibitor, handler, handler assistant, judge, club member, hired professional (photo, video, steward, etc.). Any family members attending the show must enter with an owner, breeder, or handler of the dog. The general public will not be allowed on the grounds and if found in a building will be politely and professionally escorted off the premises. ENTERING THE BUILDING The first time anyone enters the building each day they will have their temperature checked with a forehead thermometer. This applies to EVERYONE including club members, workers, handlers, judges, AKC reps, vendors, building employees and anyone else not listed. Anyone with a temperature of 100.4 or higher will be refused admission and advised to seek medical attention. You may leave your dogs with someone else to show. There will be no refund if dog is not shown. Each person who passes the temperature check will be issued a colored wristband. A different colored wristband will be issued each day. This wristband will allow you to enter the building during that day without having another temperature check. CRATING Due to social distancing, crating space is limited. Exhibitors or handlers with entries of 5 or more dogs may request a crating area. Any others who normally travel together and wish to be crated together may also request a crating space if they have 5 or more entries. Everyone who wants crating space MUST fill out a crating request form for a crating area of approximately 10' x 20'. Minimum of 5 dogs required. Unfortunately, we may not have crating space in the building for all entries. We will try to accommodate everyone to the extent possible, while maintaining appropriate social distancing. Anyone not assigned a crating space may bring entries into the ring area 15 minutes before your breed is judged. There is no electricity available in the building and no fans, blowers or hair dryers will be allowed. DOGS MAY NOT BE LEFT IN THE BUILDING OVERNIGHT. NO PRIVATE INDOOR EXPENS ALLOWED Penny Kretchmer will be in charge of the crating area. Please follow her directions. Anyone not following the rules will be asked to leave the premises. Crates are only allowed in general ring area 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after breed judging. Please use good judgment to respect social distancing requirements if marks are not present on flooring. Classes, breed etc. may be divided to allow for social distancing. Rings will have separate entrance and exit gates to facilitate social distancing. Do not congregate at the rings or in the aisles. CONFORMATION JUDGING Exhibits will line up outside the ring maintaining social distancing and exhibits will be called into the ring as each judge deems appropriate. The judge will direct you as to how to prepare your dog for exam. Follow the judge’s directions. When gaiting with other dogs, maintain a 6 foot distance between exhibits. After placements are made, please leave the ring and, if you are not going forward in the judging of that breed, please leave the ring area. The judge or steward will direct those who will remain as to where they are to wait for BOB judging. ARMBANDS & CATALOGS When approaching the rings for showing, only the steward will have access to the ringside catalog Armbands will be available at the Show Secretary's tent. To facilitate this process, please know what armbands you need. Please maintain a reasonable distance from the table and the person in front of you when securing your armbands. There will be NO public catalogs. We will have catalogs for sale. Exact change or check required for catalog and tee shirt sales. CHAIRS No public chairs will be provided. The cluster will not provide any seating around rings. Exhibitors can bring their chairs but must maintain social distancing between each other and from the rings. Household units are free to sit together. No group gatherings or congregating in the buildings. Chairs must be removed immediately after the judging of your breed. MASKS Masks covering the mouth and nose are REQUIRED at all times, including while in the rings. The mask must cover the mouth and nose at all times unless eating, drinking or removing perspiration but you must maintain social distancing, then properly replaced. You must keep your mask on when showing your dog in the ring, NO EXCEPTIONS. When exhibiting in non-conformation events, masks are required and gloves are recommended. There may be additional rules added. Stewards and judges will wear masks (so train your dogs to expect a person in a mask) and judges will have hand sanitizer available between each examination. Masks do not need to be worn in your vehicle. ______________________________________________________________________ Nor'East Toy Dog Cluster May 28, 29 & 30, 2021 Page 2 VENDORS Vendor Booths – Masks must be worn at all times when in a vendor’s booth. PHOTOGRAPHS Photographs may be taken without the judge. In that case, judge's image will be added to a win photo later in order to limit contact. HAND SANITIZERS Hand sanitizer stations will be in multiple locations throughout the building. SIGNS Please observe all signs especially pertaining to entrance and exit doors on the building. You will not be able to enter or exit every door. SHOW SECRETARY No EXHIBITORS, HANDLERS, OWNERS, BREEDERS, etc. are allowed behind the Show Secretary's table. HEALTH An AED is available on the show site near the front entrance. All show participants are required to self-assess daily. If anyone exhibits symptoms of illness consistent with COVID- 19 – such as fever, fatigue, cough, chills, muscle pain, headache, sudden loss of the sense of smell, diarrhea, sore throat, or shortness of breath-they should immediately leave the site, self-isolate, and seek medical care. A decision can be made by the exhibitor to have their dogs shown by volunteer handlers if they wish. Infection control - Wash your hands frequently for at least 20 seconds. Avoid shaking hands, hugging, or other physical contact. Avoid touching dogs that are not your responsibility. Avoid common use pens/pencils – bring your own writing instruments. Clean up after your dogs. The above rules are our attempt to have a fun event and yet still maintain a level of safety for all who attend. We will have committee members circulating to ensure that everyone understands the rules and to answer questions. We ask that you honor any request made of you. While we are doing everything that we can to make these events as safe as possible, entering the building and participation is at your own risk ______________________________________________________________________ Nor'East Toy Dog Cluster May 28, 29 & 30, 2021 Page 3 Premium List Nor’East Toy Dog Cluster “Come Play in our Toy Box” AIR CONDITIONED – PAVED PARKING SPORTS TURF FLOORING AKC National Owner-Handled Series and 4-6 Months Puppy Competition Saturday & Sunday Four Shows & Trials in Three Days Each show limited to 500 dogs Entries open on March 1, 2021 • The number of entries a judge can judge at the Friday shows is limited to 100 entries per event (not to exceed 175 entries for the day per Rules Applying to Dog Shows Chapter 7, Section 13).

  • Housetraining a Toy Breed Puppy Or
    Dog Training by PJ 5303 Louie Lane #19, Reno, Nevada 89511 www.dogtrainingybypj.com 775-828-0748 Reference Library Materials © 2008 Dog Training by PJ Tips to Housetrain Your Toy Breed Puppy or Dog What’s the best way to housetrain my toy breed puppy or dog? First – remember consistency when training your toy puppy or dog is a must. Oftentimes people claim housetraining a small dog is more difficult, but usually the reasons for not having success can be easily avoided. Since the dogs are small, often they can get away with potty “every where” because of the mere size of the dog and the relationship of the potty size. If it were a Great Dane, for example, supervision becomes a priority. As owners of the toy dog, we tend to carry them around. You need to allow your toy puppy or dog to walk. For many little dogs, housetraining problems start when they are “finally” put on the ground, then the owner leaves the house and the toy puppy is allowed to roam freely throughout the entire house. Even though you have a toy breed puppy or dog, you will still use “big dog” potty training techniques. However, you need to remember in the winter or when it is cold outdoors, the toy dog loses body heat faster. In colder weather you will need to make them more comfortable to go outdoors and remain long enough to potty; so try a jacket, sweater or coat. Now, taking the toy dog for a walk in the grass can be the equivalent of trying to housetrain them in a jungle.

  • Less Than Exciting Behaviors Associated with Unneutered
    1 c Less Than Exciting ASPCA Behaviors Associated With Unneutered Male Dogs! Periodic binges of household destruction, digging and scratching. Indoor restlessness/irritability. N ATIONAL Pacing, whining, unable to settle down or focus. Door dashing, fence jumping and assorted escape behaviors; wandering/roaming. Baying, howling, overbarking. Barking/lunging at passersby, fence fighting. Lunging/barking at and fighting with other male dogs. S HELTER Noncompliant, pushy and bossy attitude towards caretakers and strangers. Lack of cooperation. Resistant; an unwillingness to obey commands; refusal to come when called. Pulling/dragging of handler outdoors; excessive sniffing; licking female urine. O UTREACH Sexual frustration; excessive grooming of genital area. Sexual excitement when petted. Offensive growling, snapping, biting, mounting people and objects. Masturbation. A heightened sense of territoriality, marking with urine indoors. Excessive marking on outdoor scent posts. The behaviors described above can be attributed to unneutered male sexuality. The male horomone D testosterone acts as an accelerant making the dog more reactive. As a male puppy matures and enters o adolescence his primary social focus shifts from people to dogs; the human/canine bond becomes g secondary. The limited attention span will make any type of training difficult at best. C a If you are thinking about breeding your dog so he can experience sexual fulfillment ... don’t do it! This r will only let the dog ‘know what he’s missing’ and will elevate his level of frustration. If you have any of e the problems listed above, they will probably get worse; if you do not, their onset may be just around the corner.

  • CHRONIC COUGH in the DOG Richard B. Ford, DVM, MS, Dipl ACVIM and ACVPM Emeritus Professor, North Carolina State University Raleigh, NC
    CHRONIC COUGH IN THE DOG Richard B. Ford, DVM, MS, Dipl ACVIM and ACVPM Emeritus Professor, North Carolina State University Raleigh, NC Chronic bronchial disease constitutes a significant, yet underdiagnosed, cause of both chronic cough, episodic as well as, acute-onset respiratory distress in the adult dog. Untreated, chronic bronchial disease is a debilitating, progressive respiratory syndrome that characteristically results in decreased exercise tolerance, inactivity, paroxysmal respiratory distress, airway collapse, and even death. With proper medical intervention, however, the prognosis for effective long-term management of chronic bronchial disease, even in severe cases, can be good. DEFINITION Chronic bronchial disease (CBD) is a general term used to describe a complex, progressive respiratory syndrome characterized by excessive mucous secretion in the bronchial tree and frequent coughing, persisting at least 2 consecutive months. This definition of chronic bronchitis implies that the coughing episodes occur exclusive of other bronchopulmonary disease, e.g., respiratory mycoses, neoplasia, and bacterial infection. In veterinary medicine, however, it is impossible to disregard the impact that secondary infections have on the progression and severity of clinical signs associated with chronic bronchial disease, particularly those associated with acquired bronchial and tracheal collapse. The underlying pathology of chronic bronchial disease and acquired airway collapse develops over a period of at least several months, and probably several years. It is not until significant airway compromise occurs that the first evidence of respiratory disease, typically coughing, becomes apparent to the owner. What may appear to be an acute-onset problem is, in fact, the result of several months of subtle airway injury. It is critical that clients willing to treat a pet with chronic bronchial disease accept this premise along with the fact that treatment is aimed at control, not cure.

    i6a CHAPTER XXIII. TOY SPANIELS. THE King Charles and Blenheim Spaniels are so closely allied as regards structural development, that the task of separating them, were it not for their colours, would be extremely difficult. The origin of the two breeds is undoubtedly obscure, but the credit of bringing these most beautiful little into pets popular notice unquestionably lies with His Majesty King Charles II., from which monarch the former variety derives its name. It must not, however, be imagined that the existence of the breed is due to the exertions of its royal patron, for direct allusion is made to it by Dr. Caius in his work alluded to before, in which he connects this with the Maltese as the latter then existed he clearly variety dog, ; describes them in the third section of his book as follows : " .... Of the delicate, neate, and pretty kind of dogges called the Spaniel gentle, or the comforter, in Latine Metitaeus or Fotor." " These dogges are little, pretty, proper, and fine, and sought for to satisfy the delicatenesse of daintie dames, and wanton women's wills. Instrumentes of folly for them to play and dally to " withall, tryfle away the treasure of time . ." These puppies, the smaller they be, the more pleasure they provoke, as more meete play-fellowes for mincing mistresses to beare in their bosoms . ." From the above extracts it would appear that the Toy Spaniel did not stand high in the estimation of Dr. Caius a few lines later there is an that John ; though on attempt to prove this dog was of some service in the world, since he gravely announces, "We find that these little dogs are good to assuage the sicknesse of the stomacke, being oftentimes thereunto applyed as a plaster preservative, or borne in the bosom of the diseased and weake person, which effect is performed by theyr moderate heate.

Their development took place in rather isolated areas of Great Britain and, at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th cen- tury, their general appearance reflected the work they were bred for and their environment. Evidence of English terriers living in Russia is preserved in the Zoological Museum of St. Peters- burg.

    Dog Training by PJ 5303 Louie Lane #19, Reno, Nevada 89511 www.dogtrainingybypj.com 775-828-0748 Reference Library Materials © 2008 Dog Training by PJ Tips to Raise a Well-Adjusted Toy Dog Why do we often enjoy the toy dog? There are so many reasons to consider, but often because the toy dog is portable. Often times they are very cuddly and of course, the cuteness factor is always top on the list. However, just because they are small, does not mean they are not dogs. These small dogs do have special needs and concerns. Just a few tips to help you with that little dog of yours: • Remember your dog views the world a little different – Try it – get on your belly and see their world through your eyes – pretty large if you look around. • He is a real dog – who just has a few special needs, but still can be trained just as the “large dogs.” At Dog Training by PJ we offer the Toy Dog (Small dog) class so you can introduce your toy dog to training while in the comfort of other small dogs. • Housetraining is a big issue for small dogs. Why? Often, the small piddles or small gifts are not seen as bothersome so the small dog is never truly housetrained. You must be patient, gentle and consistent. Reward the dog when they potty where you want. Don’t punish for mistakes. Remember management is the key to success. Refer to other Reference Materials entitled, “How to Manage your Dog” • When potty training be sure the small dog has a safe place to relieve himself.
