  • THE LIVES of DOMESTIC DOGS (CANIS AFRICANIS) in BOTSWANA Alice Hovorka1 and Lauren Van Patte2
    Pula: Botswana Journal of African Studies Vol. 31(1), 2017 THE LIVES OF DOMESTIC DOGS (CANIS AFRICANIS) IN BOTSWANA Alice Hovorka1 and Lauren Van Patte2 Abstract The objective of this study is to document the roles, value, circumstances, and welfare management of domestic dogs (Canis Africanis) in Greater Maun, Botswana. Findings based on interviews with sixty participants, as well as key informant interviews and participant observation, reveal high incidence of dog ownership with dogs primarily used as guardians and companions at rural villages, cattle posts and urban homesteads. Dogs are particularly valued for their obedience to and security offered owners. Participants care for their dogs by providing them with food, allowing them free access to areas outside of homesteads, and accessing medical attention when necessary. Participants were pleased with veterinary care, sterilization and vaccination services provided by the local animal welfare organization and urge government to become more involved in dog- related services, laws and education for community members. Analysis of these findings reveals emerging trends related to changing dog roles, urbanization, regulation, and breeding are re- orienting dog roles and circumstances, as well as welfare management needs. Ultimately, this study establishes baseline data regarding human-dog relations and is positioned to inform community development and animal welfare efforts in Botswana. Key words: Dogs, roles, welfare, human-dog relations INTRODUCTION Free-roaming domestic dogs are ubiquitous in rural, peri-urban and urban areas throughout Southern Africa. Originally understood as the ‘mongrel progeny of settler dogs’ (Swart 2003:194), recent arguments posit that they are direct descendants of the Arabian wolf, domesticated 7000 years ago in Northern Africa and the Middle East (Gaubert et al.

  • Affenpinscher
    AFFENPINSCHER ffenpinschers fall into the category of dog breeds commonly known as „toy A breeds‟. These dogs are quite similar to terriers. They weigh between 7-9 pounds (3-4 kg) and are not higher than 11 inches (24-30 cm). They have harsh, rough coats and their expression is sometimes called monkey-like. This is also how they get their name because „Affe‟ means monkey in German. The coat forms a mane over the shoulders and the head and is shaggy in these areas. Over the hind and back quarters the coat is typically much shorter. The texture of the coat is wiry. In the UK, the only acceptable coat color is black, but the American Kennel Club also accepts silver, gray, red and tan, and belge (a mixture of black, white and red hairs). Black is the preferred color for most clubs and kennels. These dogs don‟t shed very much and frequent grooming will usually keep their surroundings free of loose fur. By appearance, these dogs are common associated to terriers, but by temperament, they seem to belong more to the pinscher-schnauzer group of dogs. This breed gets along well with other pets and animals, thus differentiating it from terriers. They are curious, active, stubborn and adventurous. They are also fun loving and playful by nature. They are affectionate towards family members and can get very protective. These dogs really enjoy being part of a family. However, they are difficult to house-break and need consistent, patient training. These dogs also tend to become easily bored, so the training routine should be made as varied as possible.

  • Primitive and Aboriginal Dog Society
    Kuzina Marina 115407, Russia, Moscow, Zatonnay str., 2-1-112; +10-(499)-618-6370; Web site: http://www.pads.ru; E-mail:[email protected] Desyatova Tatyana E-mail:[email protected] № 24 Primitive and Aboriginal Dog Society Dear members of PADS and readers of our Newsletter, In this, the 24th issue of the PADS Newsletter, we publish Part 2 of an article by V. Beregovoy. In his article Sergei Kopylets shares with us some interesting photographs of the Turkmen Tazi and tells us a story about the renaissance of the breed in Turkmenistan. We also publish two articles touching on very controversial topics. Vladimir Shakula is writing about the tradition and role of aboriginal breeds and dogs in particular in human society. Isik Guvener is writing about the concept of the “purebred dog” and the tradition of using and breeding dogs in rural Turkey. We will leave to readers to draw their own conclusions, but the fact remains that the role of the dog in traditional human societies and cultures of the world varies from being simply an animal for butchering for meat to a beast of burden, from a hunting assistant to a property protector and from a companion to a deified, sacrificial animal important for social and religious rituals. It is nothing unusual in many traditional cultures to perceive dogs as a part of the natural resources, which can be used thoroughly in any way or abandoned altogether. This is one reason why aboriginal dogs disappear with change to the modern way of life. The romantic notion of the dog as a companion or “family member” arose from literary fiction and the way of life in urban industrial society.

  • Dogs and Dogma – a Discussion of the Socio- Political Construction of Southern African Dog ‘Breeds’ As a Window Into Social History
    DOGS AND DOGMA – A DISCUSSION OF THE SOCIO- POLITICAL CONSTRUCTION OF SOUTHERN AFRICAN DOG ‘BREEDS’ AS A WINDOW INTO SOCIAL HISTORY. South African Historical Journal, 48 (2003). Dr Sandra Swart History Department University of Stellenbosch [email protected] This paper is an engagement with the social role of the three Southern African dog ‘breeds’: the Rhodesian Ridgeback, the Boerboel and the Africanis dog. The discussion explores the current discourses, debates and marketing strategies surrounding the dogs, with particular emphasis on the recent attempts to reclassify the ‘kaffir dog’ as the ‘Africanis dog’.1 Here dogs provide a lens into understanding human society and culture in southern Africa. Behind every dog breed we find an ethnography and a social history as well as a genealogy – its cultural, as well as its genetic, heritage. This paper opens up wider issues of class and race, in a context of the cultural heritage(s) of Southern Africa to disentangle the meanings of a layered social identity. ‘Scientific’ and community history, together with indigenous perceptions of ‘breeds’ are investigated through advertisements, breed organisations, interviews with breeders and through oral testimony from the communal lands of western Zimbabwe. Ostensibly neutral taxonomic classifications and breed descriptions provide a lens through which to view the economic and cultural trends. In the despised ‘Kaffir dog’s’ redemption as valuable ‘Africanis dog’, lie embedded ideas and metaphors central to the African Renaissance and heritage creation. In the discourse surrounding the Rhodesian Ridgeback and Boerboel, we find reflected a white ‘settler’ self-image, the embodiment of their preoccupations and anxieties.

    CCaanniinnee DDiisseeaassee GGeennee IIddeennttiiffiiccaattiioonn by Jeremy R. Shearman The University of New South Wales 2011 School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences University of New South Wales THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Shearman First name: Jeremy Other name/s: Ross Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: BABS Faculty: Science Title: Canine disease gene identification Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) The dog (Canis familiaris) was domesticated from wolves around 15,000 years ago in multiple locations in the northern hemisphere. Most modern dogs were developed from domestic dogs in the past 200 years in Europe. This breed development resulted in genetically isolated, highly inbred populations segregating diseases. Two autosomal recessive diseases are Trapped Neutrophil Syndrome (TNS) in Border collies and cerebellar abiotrophy in Australian Kelpies. TNS is an inherited neutropenia resulting in a compromised immune system. TNS was mapped to VPS13B using a candidate gene approach and linkage analysis. Sequencing of the gene in affected and control dogs identified a 4 bp deletion in exon 19 causing frame shift and premature truncation. Alternate transcripts of VPS13B are expressed in the brain of humans but not mice. Sequencing of cDNA from healthy dogs revealed that dogs also express alternate transcripts in the brain. Cerebellar abiotrophy in the Australian Kelpie results in an ataxia. Affymetrix SNP array v2 was used to perform whole genome mapping in twelve affecteds and twenty control Kelpies. Association analysis failed to identify the disease region. Homozygosity analysis identified a five megabase region where all affecteds were homozygous for a common haplotype.
