President - Glenn Connell (905) 935-5054 News on the health front is encouraging. A test will soon [email protected] be available for NCL. Within a few years perhaps this dreaded condition could be isolated and maybe even eliminated in the Vice President - Jo Hannam (604) 702-1146 breed.

I must congratulate the Tibetan Terrier Club of America for their financial support of this worthwhile research.

You may want to ask them on your next visit what they Ontario – Penny White (613) 253-0581 think of the CMVA’s position. For now, please urge your CKC [email protected] Regional Director to oppose CKC mandated Breed Standards and ask them to fight the CMVA intrusions at every opportunity. Quebec - Claire Mathieu (450) 649-9480 Each morning before I open my eyes I feel a firm “thump” “thump” on the side of the bed near my shoulder.

That is how I hope your New Year begins and Newsletter Editors - Penny White continues each day following the next. Talk to you soon, John Argue ([email protected]) 3 Glenn Connell President TTCC Words from the SECRETARY….. A quick note to thank Jo Hannam for all of her hard work over the last couple of years and her offer to help me as I try to carry on . "The box" of TTCC information arrived here in Casselman January 22nd. I have only had a quick glance at the contents and am amazed at all the history that is in there . I am looking forward to snooping through everything . Please remember that membership renewals are now due .The renewal form is available on-line on the TTCC website: http://www.tibetanterriercanada.com/ A renewal form was also sent out with the Fall Newsletter to those who receive it by regular mail . Renewals should be sent to Terri Gueck . Lynda Zittier, TTCC Secretary Words from the EDITOR….. A reminder to look at the newsletter ONLINE, where ALL photos will be seen in dramatic colour. Go to club website – www.tibetanterriercanada.com – find Newsletter section, select issue, and use Password 2009TTCCNL. (a tip is to avoid using capslock key) Another important reminder is that the next issue will be published in April, and will only be mailed to those who have renewed their memberships. (firm deadline March 31) A renewal form accompanied the fall newslet- ter, or can be downloaded from the club website. At that time the online password will be changed, in an effort to reserve the newsletter for the eyes of Members Only. from the ONTARIO DIRECTOR…. I am pleased to return to this position. I have an important announcement that pertains to Ontario and to AGILITY: re: The TTCC CKC Agility Trial for 2010 -- the month has been changed from October as in past several years to JULY, the weekend of July 24/25. There are now welcome implications because of this change: Firstly, the trial will be OUTDOOR, allowing for TWO rings operating simultaneously, providing much more space for handlers’ set ups, endless room for spectators (!), and vendors . The Dream Fields gorgeous grassy fields will be tranformed into a colourful and busy Tent City! Very exciting, and the sport, of course, is im- mensely entertaining to watch. Mark your calendars now. If you have a doggie in training, well, now you have a goal! CKC Novice runs are straightforward and not difficult. More info, for sure, in next issue and/or via email. I believe that Directors should encourage organizing occasions for – let’s call it! – TTs and TT folk ‘get to- getherness’. I know, I know, the country is vast, in many provinces members are very few, but it might be sur- prising what pleasant modest events could be email-planned . (and wow, would that ever make great material for a following newsletter!) For example – there are many TTs in the Toronto area, and I know a couple of members now familiar with the wonderful Pawsway site which could become the location for a TT Frolic. Human and dog TT ‘guests’ would not need to be TTCC members, but could be Tibetan Pet People we‘d reach out to and include.. Hey, I’d try to drive from Ottawa! But I’m too far distant to be the organizer…. .So think about it, Toronto area members, and maybe it can happen.

  • HSVMA Guide to Congenital and Heritable Disorders in Dogs
    GUIDE TO CONGENITAL AND HERITABLE DISORDERS IN DOGS Includes Genetic Predisposition to Diseases Special thanks to W. Jean Dodds, D.V.M. for researching and compiling the information contained in this guide. Dr. Dodds is a world-renowned vaccine research scientist with expertise in hematology, immunology, endocrinology and nutrition. Published by The Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association P.O. Box 208, Davis, CA 95617, Phone: 530-759-8106; Fax: 530-759-8116 First printing: August 1994, revised August 1997, November 2000, January 2004, March 2006, and May 2011. Introduction: Purebred dogs of many breeds and even mixed breed dogs are prone to specific abnormalities which may be familial or genetic in nature. Often, these health problems are unapparent to the average person and can only be detected with veterinary medical screening. This booklet is intended to provide information about the potential health problems associated with various purebred dogs. Directory Section I A list of 182 more commonly known purebred dog breeds, each of which is accompanied by a number or series of numbers that correspond to the congenital and heritable diseases identified and described in Section II. Section II An alphabetical listing of congenital and genetically transmitted diseases that occur in purebred dogs. Each disease is assigned an identification number, and some diseases are followed by the names of the breeds known to be subject to those diseases. How to use this book: Refer to Section I to find the congenital and genetically transmitted diseases associated with a breed or breeds in which you are interested. Refer to Section II to find the names and definitions of those diseases.

  • Primary Lens Luxation
    Primary Lens Luxation Affected breeds: Australian Cattle Dog, Chinese Crested Dog, Jack Russell Terrier, Lancashire Heeler, Miniature Bull Terrier, Parson Russell Terrier, Patterdale Terrier, Sealyham Terrier, Tibetan Terrier, Welsh Terrier, Wire-haired Fox Terrier, Yorkshire Terrier Primary lens luxation (PLL) is an inherited eye disease which leads to blindness. In affected dogs, the tiny fibres which hold the lens in place in the eyeball start to break down and the lens can fall out of position and cause glaucoma and blindness. This can be extremely painful. Typically an affected dog would develop signs of PLL at 3 - 8 years of age. The condition is caused by an inherited mutation in a gene which is required for the healthy construction of the lens fibres. A puppy which inherits the mutation from both of his parents is extremely likely to develop PLL. His parents, on the other hand, who each have only one copy of the mutation, are at a much reduced risk of developing PLL; this is estimated at 2 – 20%. This test is particularly useful for breeders: o To identify CARRIER and AFFECTED individuals among their dogs; these individuals should be regularly examined by a veterinary ophthalmologist. o To identify CARRIER and AFFECTED individuals among their breeding stock so that they can avoid mating combinations which would risk AFFECTED puppies. This test will be reported as: CLEAR : free of the PLL mutation, and unlikely to develop primary lens luxation. The possibility remains of developing lens luxation due to a non- inherited cause such as trauma. CARRIER : has one copy of the mutation and has a low risk of developing PLL during their lifetime; this is estimated at 2 – 20%.
