Kennel Spotlight * Aug/Sept’17 * 5 BEAT THE HEAT! Help your dogs beat the heat by practicing healthy hydration and understanding of heat stress. You can help reduce the dangers of over-heating by keeping in mind that dehydration can occur rapidly. Exercising dogs or dogs that are over excited can quickly lose the ability to maintain a normal body temperature. Some differences between ‘heat stress’ and ‘heat stroke’ are: Lethargy vs Distressed & Anxious behavior Heavy Panting vs profuse, thick Drooling Lack of Coordination vs Vomiting Squinting of the Eyes vs Gums & Tongue may turn dark pink or bright red If you suspect your dog has overheated, immediately cool the body using water from a hose or pond/creek or any other source to help bring down the body temperature. Do not submerge your dog in water too cold; they can cool too rapidly and this could lead to other problems. If your dog shows signs of heat stroke, you should take your dog to the veterinarian immediately! A dog with advanced heatstroke may have seizures or slip into a coma. The effects of heatstroke can continue for 48 to 72 hours even if a dog appears normal, so it is important for a veterinarian to evaluate your dog for damage to the liver and kidneys and any other health problems. Some Hydration Tips: Monitor your Working Dogs for signs of heat stress and dehydration. To Slow DeHydration give your dog small amounts of water every 15 to 20 minutes when working and especially during events lasting longer than 60 minutes. Try Cooling your Dog by periodically squirting water with a spray bottle or mister. The wetness on the coat has cooling effect as it evaporates. Some Water Rules: Always give an overheated dog COOL WATER-NOT ICE WATER! You don’t want your dog to cool down too quickly. Ice Water can cause the blood vessels to constrict and slow the blood fl ow to the brain and cooling process. Allow your dog to drink small amounts of water, do not let them gulp as drinking too much water too rapidly could cause vomiting. You can use cool water under their front legs and in the groin area; there is a higher concentration of blood vessels there to aid in the cooling process. Another ‘home remedy’ is to apply rubbing alcohol to the pads of their feet; the alcohol evaporates quickly and helps cool their temperature down faster. Pedialyte is also a good additive for the water to aid in rehydration. Your dog’s normal temperature should be between 100 to 102.5 degrees. Immediately after working or exercising, the dog’s temperature may be as high as 107 degrees. Within 5 minutes it should decline to below 104 degrees; if it doesn’t, your dog may be suffering from heat stress and require immediate veterinary care. A dog compensates for overheating by panting, which causes salivation. As saliva evaporates, it cools the blood going to the brain, helping to maintain central nervous system (CNS)functioning. While panting is an effective short-term solution to help maintain CNS function, it is an ineffi cient method of lowering body temperature in the long run because it uses energy and generates additional heat. About 60 percent of heat dissipated by during exercise is through water evaporation in the respiratory tract. In extreme conditions, a dog’s body redirects the fl ow of warm blood from the body core to vessels under the skin where it is cooled by air or water fl owing over the skin. The only place dogs sweat is around the pads of their paws. Understanding your dog’s complex circulation may better help you to prevent problems during the hot days of Summer! 6 * Kennel Spotlight * Aug/Sept’17 © Be sure your puppies are healthy and ready for their new families.

    British Veterinary Association / Kennel Club Hip Dysplasia Scheme Breed Specific Statistics – 1 January 2001 to 31 December 2016 Hip scores should be considered along with other criteria as part of a responsible breeding programme, and it is recommended that breeders choose breeding stock with hip scores around and ideally below the breed median score, depending on the level of HD in the breed. HD status of parents, siblings and progeny for Kennel Club registered dogs should also be considered, and these together with a three generation Health Test Pedigree may be downloaded via the Health Test Results Finder, available on the Kennel Club’s online health tool Mate Select (www.mateselect.org.uk). In addition, estimated breeding values (EBVs) are available for breeds in which a significant number of dogs have been graded, via the same link. For further advice on the interpretation and use of hip scores see www.bva.co.uk/chs The breed median score is the score of the ‘average’ dog in that breed (i.e. an equal number of dogs in that breed have better and worse scores).

We identified two normal copies of the DNA sequences in six of the mutations tested. Thus, this dog is not at an increased risk for the diseases associated with these six mutations. However, we identified one normal copy and one mutant copy of the DNA sequences for TTC8. Thus, this dog is a carrier of Progressive Retinal Atrophy, Golden Retriever 2. Recommendations: Progressive Retinal Atrophy, Golden Retriever 2 is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. Based on this, and the fact that this dog showed a mutation in one copy of the TTC8 gene, this dog is a carrier of this disease. Although dogs that carry only one copy of this mutation will not be clinically affected, if bred with another carrier, the pairing could produce affected offspring.

    Hip Dysplasia Scheme Breed Specific Statistics 2019

    Hip Dysplasia Scheme Breed Specific Statistics 2019 The below table outlines the median hip score for each breed screened under the CHS Hip Dysplasia Scheme. The breed median score is the ‘middle’ score for all dogs’ in that breed (i.e. an equal number of dogs in that breed have scored higher or lower than the median score). Hip scores should be considered along with other criteria as part of responsible breeding programme. It is recommended that breeders choose breeding stock with hips scores around, and ideally below, the 5-year breed median score. By representing dogs scored in the last 15 years, a more accurate reflection of each breed’s current state of health and improvement is given. The 5-year median here refers to dogs scored between 1st January 2015 and 31st December 2019. Hip dysplasia status of the parents, siblings and progeny for Kennel Club registered dogs should also be considered, and these together with a three generation Health Test Pedigree may be downloaded via the Health Test Results Finder, available on the Kennel Club's online health tool Mate Select. In addition, estimated breeding values (EBVs) are available for breeds in which a significant number of breeds have been scored, via the same link.

    Top 10 Dog Breeds for 2019

    PuppySpot Releases Top 10 Dog Breed Predictions For 2019 Doodle Breeds Continue to Rise Along with Traditional Labrador Retriever and German Shepherd Breeds HOLLYWOOD, Fla. – January 28, 2019 – PuppySpot, the trusted puppy placement service connecting dog lovers with screened and verified breeders nationwide, announced today its predictions for the top 10 dog breeds expected to be most popular in 2019. The Goldendoodle (a Golden Retriever -Poodle hybrid breed) leads the pack, with the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel bringing up the rear. The full list below was compiled based off the number of PuppySpot puppies placed in forever homes in 2018. 1. Goldendoodle 2. Labrador Retriever 3. German Shepherd 4. Golden Retriever 5. Labradoodle 6. Siberian Husky 7. Dachshund 8. Beagle 9. French Bulldog 10. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Breed insights year-over-year include: • The Goldendoodle and Labrador Retriever are consistently in close competition as the top two breeds in the country, with the two breeds swapping first place from 2017 to 2018. • The friendly hound breed, the Beagle, and regal Cavalier King Charles Spaniel made surprising jumps into the top 10 from not appearing on the 2018 list. • Toy breeds Yorkshire Terrier and Shih Tzu lost some steam from 2017 to 2018. While they appeared in the top 10 list in 2017, they didn’t make this year’s cut. • While the classic, purebred Poodle didn’t make the list, the breed’s cross derivatives, Goldendoodle and Labradoodle, are top of the list, likely due to the combination benefits of allergy-friendly, low-shedding and good-natured personalities. “It’s great to see diversity in the top 10 breeds in America list,” said Jonathan Cherins, Chief Executive Officer at PuppySpot.
