BRAGS Share your good news with GKCDTC friends Panzer Rhaeger Lisa Kramer: On August 24 and 25, Panzer, Rhaeger and I went to Topeka to play in breed, obedience and Dock Diving. Panzer was awarded Reserve Winners Dog to a major on Saturday, Rhaeger shared the honor on Sunday. Obedience was a bust, but both boys had fun doing Dock Diving. Rhaeger just jumped off the ramp, but Panzer had 10 jumps and earned his Dock Diving Master title, hitting his personal best jump of 20'10." Loving my versatile Rottens. Darcy Seeger: Liar earned his first title, a Canine Good Citizen certificate, Sept. 3 at the GKCDTC club building. He now is known as Za’Liar God of War, CGC. Puppy Liar will celebrate his first birthday Nov 22, 2019. Darcy and Liar BRAGS JoClair Gipe: Faolan, officially known as Faolan Mystic Redwulf Von Darkwing, CGC, earned his Canine Good Citizen certificate at the GKCDTC building Sept. 3 at the tender age of 8 months. Faolan also has been invited to compete in the Florida puppy conformation competition! Armina, Gipe’s Brunhild Armina CD PCD BN RAE CGC TKA, now has seven legs toward her Rally Master title. We qualified all three days at the Topeka trials, taking third place on Saturday and fourth on Sunday, competing against nine to 11 dogs each day. We are hoping to finish and get our title at our trials. Faolan Armina Renee Schmidt: Border Collie Rumor and I were thrilled to have finished the OGM (Obedience Grand Master) at the Manhattan Kansas Kennel Club trial on Friday of the Topeka cluster of shows. He finished in style with a 199 and third place in Open B!! So proud of this dog - he always gives me his all. I am lucky to be his partner. Rumor is only the second dog in the area to have the title. My other BC, Blast, was the first to get it. Rumor BRAGS Deb Borgo: So proud of Baby Sia. At just under 9 months of age, at the Topeka show, she went WB/BOW and WB/BOW/BOS for her first points and two majors. On the first day a friend’s daughter, Avery, (a junior handler) took her back in for the points (so that I could show Mo). So much fun watching how well both of them showed! If you need help at a show, try and find a junior. They love getting the opportunity to show (and be seen showing) a different breed of dog, will show their heart out, and really appreciate the encouragement. Chris Lero: Trip and I are attending our National this week and so far he has earned a Weight Pull leg (10X his weight or 1,000 pounds) which gave him his Swiss Mountain Dog Novice Weight Pull title. He also earned his first Rally Advanced leg, and qualified in Novice, which earned him recogni- tion at the 2019 National Banquet for a “Triathlete” challenge (3 working event qualifying legs). We are having a good time in Ohio. Trip earned a fourth place Friday night at our Independent Specialty as well as another 15x time leg, pulling 1500 pounds. He may be small, but he’s mighty. He earned his Novice Weight Pull title as well. He’s a tired boy! Trip with his Triathlete and – Chris Lero (The one with the wallet.

  • The Iditarod Trail Dog Sled Race
    Reading Comprehension/ Sports Name ___________________________________________ Date _________________ THE IDITAROD TRAIL DOG SLED RACE The “Iditarod” is a dog sled race that is held every year in Alaska in March. Dog sled racing is a sport, and the Iditarod is one of the most difficult races. In a dog sled race, a group of dogs pull a sled across the snow, guided by a person who stands on the sled behind the dogs. The race may be short (called a sprint race) or long. In the Iditarod, the racers take about ten days to cover a distance over 1150 miles (1,852 km). Dog sled racing is a type of mushing. Mushing refers to any type of dog pulling any kind of transport across the snow. Mushing is used to move materials (including the mail) over snow-covered ground that cars, trains, and other transportation cannot get over. People who drive dog sleds are called mushers. In mushing, dogs are harnessed, or hooked up, to the sled. There may be only one dog or many dogs. The number depends on how much is being pulled and how far, the type of ground, and the reason that the dog is pulling. The type of dog also depends on the load and the purpose. If the load is heavy, more dogs are used. If it is important to go far, then strong dogs are used. If it is important to go fast, dogs that can run very quickly are used. If the team is big, it’s important that the dogs be calm and able to work in groups.

Located on the Seward Peninsula, the town’s population had swelled to 20,000 by 1900 after gold was discovered on beaches along the Bering Sea. By 1925, however, much of the gold was gone and scarcely 1,400 people were left in the remote northern outpost. Nome was icebound seven months of the year and the nearest railroad was more than 650 miles away, in the town of Nenana. The radio telegraph was the most reliable means by which Nome could communicate with the rest of the world during the winter. Since Alaska was a U.S. territory, the government also maintained a route over which relays of dog teams carried mail from Anchorage to Nome. A one- way trip along this path, called the Iditarod Trail, took about a month. The “mushers” who traversed the trail were the best in Alaska.

  • Beyond Rehab - Getting the Canine Athlete Back to Performance M
    Beyond Rehab - Getting the Canine Athlete Back To Performance M. Christine Zink, DVM, PhD, DACVP, DACVSMR, CVSMT A businessman who is playing weekend warrior and gets injured in a tag football game gets a diagnosis, then undergoes surgery if necessary. This is followed by a period of physical therapy to regain the function of the injured structures. His physical therapy is completed once our weekend warrior is feeling good enough to walk up stairs and maybe play a little ball again, but perhaps more cautiously. A professional football player, however, takes the additional step of undergoing sports retraining to move from everyday function to the maximal function required by the sport. He needs to learn how to tackle, catch a pass, and run the ball in ways that fulfill the requirements of the sport, yet protect him from re- injury. Dogs that participate in canine sports are like the professional football player. Regaining simple daily functions isn’t enough. The dog has to go to the next level and regain those special abilities that not only make him successful in agility but also help prevent reinjury or future injuries. That’s what canine sports retraining is. The primary goal of physical rehabilitation is to heal and then strengthen the affected limb/muscles while making sure to support the rest of the body through the healing and strengthening process. The therapist will choose appropriate modalities to aid in the healing of the primary injury. Common physical rehabilitation modalities such as therapeutic ultrasound, transcutaneous electrical neuromuscular stimulation (TENS), laser, neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), magnetic field therapy, manual therapy, underwater treadmill, and swimming can all, when used properly, assist in treating orthopedic injuries, neurological conditions, and chronic conditions that are seen in competition and working dogs.
