SPRUNG Thank you for joining us for the 18th annual AKC National Obedience Invitational. We are pleased to welcome back to Orlando our competing dog and handler teams as well as the scores of volunteers and supporters who make this event possible. Special appreciation goes to our sponsor Eukanuba. Thousands of competitors have exhibited throughout the year in order to qualify for this event, but we’ve narrowed the field to the top-ranking dogs in each breed as well as the top 25 dogs overall based on Obedience Trial Champion (OTCH) points. One hundred and twenty seven teams will compete over the next two days for the honor of being named National Obedience Champion. Our competitors come from 33 states and Canada, and represent 49 different breeds as well as the All-American dog. These obedient dogs will perform a series of exercises such as heeling, scent discrimination and retrieval over jumps, judged on skill and accuracy as well as the natural movement of the handler and willingness and enjoyment of the dog. All dogs will compete both days, in eight rings with two to three exercises per ring. The AKC National Juniors Obedience Competition will also return this year for the second time. Forty-six junior handlers

Acting like a lever, the three-dimensional biomechanical model based on dissection data to forces are transmitted to the teeth, generating the bite force (Kim et al., estimate the bite force of 47 dogs of various breeds at several bite 2018). The macroscopic arrangement of muscle fibres (i.e. muscle points and gape angles. In vivo bite force for three Belgian shepherd architecture) directly determines muscle force production.

Debus-López, Chief, U.S. General Division From: Giles Martin, Assistant Editor Winton Matthews, Consulting Assistant Editor Dewey Decimal Classification OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc Re: 636.72-636.76 Dog breeds Magdalena Svanberg, of the Kungliga biblioteket/National Library of Sweden, pointed out that the arrangement of dog breeds in 636.72-636.76 was different from that used by the Féderation Cynologique Internationale (FCI). The FCI classification is found at http://www.fci.be/nomenclature.aspx, and at the top level is: Group 1 Sheepdogs and Cattle Dogs (except Swiss Cattle Dogs) Group 2 Pinscher and Schnauzer - Molossoid Breeds - Swiss Mountain and Cattle Dogs Group 3 Terriers Group 4 Dachshunds Group 5 Spitz and Primitive types Group 6 Scenthounds and Related Breeds Group 7 Pointing Dogs Group 8 Retrievers - Flushing Dogs - Water Dogs Group 9 Companion and Toy Dogs Group 10 Sighthounds 1 The American Kennel Club (AKC) arrangement, followed by Dewey, is very different at the top level: Sporting Group 636.752 Hound Group 636.753 Working Group 636.73 Terrier Group 636.755 Toy Group 636.76 Non-Sporting Group 636.72 Herding Group 636.737 Miscellaneous Class (breeds which have not yet been put into the other groups) (The order given here is that on the AKC’s webpage, http://www.akc.org/breeds/index.cfm?nav_area=breeds ) The situation is made more complex because 636.72-636.76 contain several references to breeds as “(United Kingdom)” as a shortcut for saying that this group is one of the groupings of the Kennel Club of the United Kingdom (KC).

    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.

A 14-year-old intact male Maltese dog was presented with a history of pain and swelling of the left upper forelimb and lame- ness for 3 weeks. Hematological and radiographical examinations showed regenerative anemia and osteolysis of the humerus. Fine nee- dle aspiration biopsy detected epithelioid- and fibroblast-like anaplastic cells with blood components. A hemorrhagic and osteolytic malignant tumor was suspected, and the affected forelimb was amputated. Histopathologically, the dog was diagnosed with primary hemangiosarcoma of the humerus. Thereafter, metastatic lesions appeared in the skin, and the dog was euthanized 1 month after the operation. KEY WORDS: hemangiosarcoma, humerus, Maltese. J. Vet. Med.
