A REMINDER TO ALL MEMBERS
Alphington Park is an ON-LEAD Park at all times:
Please keep your dog on-lead at all times unless executing advanced exercises.
THIS INCLUDES THE OVAL AS WELL AS THE TRAINING AREA.
HOUSE RULES
Every Club requires its members to observe certain rules. Ours are not demanding and are
based on commonsense and courtesy.
1. No food is to be given to any dog on the training ground.
2. Should your dog foul the ground, you are responsible for cleaning up with the equipment
provided. Refusal could result in being asked to leave the ground. Exercise your dog prior to
arriving at the ground.
3. Bitches in season and sick dogs are not allowed on or near the ground.
4. Training will be cancelled if the predicted temperature for Saturday is 35˚C or greater, as
forecast by the Bureau of Meteorology on day of training.
5. You are expected to be in your class by the starting time. Should you be delayed, wait until a
halt occurs, apologize for your lateness and ask to join the class.
6. All dogs must be ON-LEAD on the grounds, unless doing advanced exercises with an
Instructor. Dogs must not be left tied to posts, trees or cars unless someone is in attendance
to supervise.
7. You must keep a close watch on your dog when near other dogs to prevent aggression either
to or by your dog. You alone are responsible.
8. Chatting to each other and inattentiveness in class is rude and will not be tolerated. You
can’t expect your instructor to compete with inattentive talking handlers or repeat an exercise
because you were not paying attention.
9. CLASS FEE: You must purchase a ticket prior to entering class. If you have an advanced dog
and are not attending class you need to purchase a ticket to enter the ring.
10. If you carry a mobile phone and it rings whilst you are in class, please step out of class to
answer your call
11. All jumping of dogs over obstacles must be supervised by an Instructor.
IMPORTANT SAFETY REMINDERS
 Parents are responsible for their children on the training grounds
 No one should approach a tethered or caged dog, with or without your own dog

Normally the Winter months see fewer people at training and a decline in the
number of new members, but this year the stream of new members continues and
the classes are growing and growing!
It’s great to see so many people continuing with their
training and obtaining increasingly higher standards.
In recent months you may have noticed a new class starting up
with the “Rally” signs. This is a separate class for people who
want to train in or trial in Rally, along side traditional
obedience classes. There is more information on that class on
page 4. Many of the members of this class have started to
and I am very pleased to announce that 5 members have gained
their Rally Novice title in recent weeks. Congratulations to them all!
Some very exciting discussions are currently being held with the City of Yarra with
regards to new club rooms including our own toilet! I will keep you posted on the
progress of these talks!
Lastly, our annual Obedience Trial will be held on Melbourne Cup Day. This is an
exciting but hectic day with competitors and judges coming from all over Victoria.
We desperately need help on the day to organize the 1001 things that are required
to make a trial run smoothly. The very stressed and overworked committee needs
your help!! More information is on page 4 and there is a form to fill in on the last
page of this newsletter if you are able to help.
Have fun Training! Dianne Vapp & Bella

Cup Day Trial
As announced in previous editions of the newsletter, our annual Obedience Trial will be held on the cricket
oval above our grounds, on Melbourne Cup Day, Tuesday 5th November 2013.
This year for the first time we will also be holding a Rally trial in the afternoon. We expect to have
competitors and judges come from all over Melbourne and Victoria to compete. Even if you don’t want to
enter yourselves you will learn a lot just attending the day and helping with the organization.
The committee needs your help! There are many, many jobs to do, big and small, indoor and outdoor, some
requiring lifting but many just helping with the organization. If you are able to offer ANY time, both on the
day before (Monday 4th November) to set out the rings and on the day, please fill in the form attached at the
END of this newsletter and hand it in at the Front Desk on a Saturday.
The judges and classes are listed on the Trial Schedule on the next page.
Please Help!! The committee alone cannot put on this trial – we need the members’ support!!

The Rhodesian Ridgeback
History
The Rhodesian Ridgeback, once known as the African Lion Hound,
was developed in South Africa by Boer farmers. The farmers needed
a versatile hunting dog who could withstand the extreme
temperatures and terrain of the bush, survive when water rations
were low, protect property, and be a companion to the entire family.
They started by crossing dogs they'd brought from Europe--such as
Great Danes, Mastiffs, Greyhounds, and Bloodhounds--with a halfwild native dog kept by the Khoikhoi, a pastoral people. This dog had
a distinctive ridge of hair along its back, and breeders noticed that
crosses who had this ridge tended to be excellent hunters.
At first, the Boers primarily used the dogs to flush partridge or bring
down a wounded buck. When big-game hunting became popular,
they found that the dogs were well suited for accompanying them
when they hunted lions from horseback. The dogs would hold the
lion at bay until the hunters arrived.
A hunter named Cornelius von Rooyen began a breeding program in what was then known as Rhodesia (now
Zimbabwe). A breed standard--a written description of what the breed should look and act like--was set down in
1922, and it's changed little since then. In 1924, the Rhodesian Ridgeback was officially accepted by the South
African Kennel Union.
Size
A Rhodesian Ridgeback male stands 690 millimetres tall at the shoulder and weighs about 40 kilogram; females are
640 millimetres tall and weigh around 34 kilogram.
Personality
The Rhodesian Ridgeback is independent and intelligent, a combination that can be entertaining, frustrating, and
rewarding, all in one. It's important to begin training early and to be firm--but not harsh--and consistent.
Because of his hunting roots, the Rhodesian Ridgeback has a high prey drive. That means stray cats and other small
furry animals aren't safe in your yard, and it also means your yard should be
securely fenced, to prevent him from going hunting on his own.
Exuberant and active in puppyhood, he matures into a quiet dog with
moderate exercise needs. The Ridgeback is protective of his home and a
discriminating barker who can be counted on to alert you to trouble. He's
reserved with strangers but gentle and affectionate with family members.
Like every dog, Rhodesian Ridgebacks need early socialization--exposure to
many different people, sights, sounds, and experiences--when they're young.
Socialization helps ensure that your Ridgeback puppy grows up to be a wellrounded dog.
Coat, Color and Grooming
The Ridgeback coat is short and shiny and tends to be odor-free. The color of the coat ranges from light wheaten to
red wheaten; in other words, buff to gold to reddish gold. Some Ridgebacks have black on the muzzle, ears, or
around the eyes.
The distinct, tapering ridge of hair on his back grows in the opposite direction of the rest of the coat, and starts just
behind the shoulder and runs to a point between the rise of the hips. The ridge usually has two whorls--hair growing
in a circular pattern--directly opposite each other. These whorls are known as crowns, and a Ridgeback with only one
crown or with more than two crowns stands little chance in the show ring.
When it comes to grooming, the Rhodesian Ridgeback is pretty low-maintenance. Give him a good going over with a
rubber curry brush weekly to remove loose or dead hair, then wipe him down with a damp cloth. Voila! A clean
Ridgeback.
Want to know more? – See Richard Stewart, the club secretary, who has a Ridgeback. He would be happy to talk
to you about his dog, the breed and its temperament.

Northcote Members Trialing Successes!
Competition Trialing with your dog is the most rewarding and equally the most frustrating of pasttimes!!
When you get it right, it is the highest of highs - addictive and oh so satisfying. Seeing all those
hours of hard work pay off when you and your dog work as a team and they do exercises you
weren’t really sure they could do - those are the great days.
What’s not to love! You are out in the fresh air with your
dog, demonstrating how much (or how little) you know,
and well those frustrating times when you are sitting on a
pass for the first time in over a year and all you have to
finish is the 1 minute sit when someone from the next ring
loudly yells “drop” at the 58 second mark and your dog
drops, and you just want to cry, well you don’t think about
those moments (much). Still, there’s always next time.
For me, trialing is a sport best shared. For most of last
year I was the only person from the club trialing in
Obedience and Rally trials. And while being the only
Northcote member was a blessing for the times we did
badly (and believe me there were many) and the
embarrassing times you trip over or go the wrong way
(hmm, lots of those as well) when you do finally have a
win or gain a pass, its nice to share that with other likeminded, equally daft and obsessed people you know and
who understand what you’ve been through to achieve
that success.
This year, I finally managed to convince more Northcote members to have a go at Rally, and a
small group of us have been trialing together. It’s so much more rewarding to share the
experience. And boy, WHAT A SUCCESS!!
Richard and Jim, pictured above, have both been extremely successful, gaining their Rally
Novice titles in only 3 trials. Richard managed a PERFECT 100/100 for his first trial, and was
placed 1st in the ring! Jim also did extremely well with an amazing 96/100! Janice Crooks, Gayle
Baxter, Julie Conroy and Ernie Frappa have also gained
their Rally Novice titles this year.
Janice and Gayle have been trialing for years in Agility
and both have had tremendous success gaining many
titles. Janice’s Harvie, pictured right, as well as gaining
his Novice title, also gained his Novice Snooker title in
Agility.
So, come and join the trialing gang. We have a lot of fun
and get lots of exercise and fresh air. And it’s great to
have someone to share the experiences with. Come
and talk to me, or Richard or Jim, or any of the other members trialing and we can tell you all
about what a fantastic sport it is! Hope to see you soon.
Dianne Vapp (and Bella)

TRIAL RESULTS
Many more members have started trialing and the hard work is certainly paying off. These results
show a number of different people and different dogs in a HUGE variety of trials. For the first
time in a LONG time (maybe ever!) the results go over 2 pages.
There are many activities in which you can participate with your dog, so if you are interested in
pursuing something new, please talk to one of the committee members, or any of the members
listed below who would be more than happy to talk to you.
Maybe we will see your successes in the next newsletter too!

GIVE ME
MY SPACE!!
Yellow Bandanas still
available
A reminder to all members that the
Yellow Bandanas are available from the
Office to all members, whose dogs need
special consideration.
This bandana will signify “Give Me My
Space” for any dog that needs a little
room and where you don’t want other
dogs or people rushing up to you.
This could be for a variety of reasons:
 The dog may be shy and scared of
other dogs or people;
 The dog may be aggressive;
 You may have trouble controlling
your dog around other dogs.
For whatever reason, if you want to
signify to other members and their dogs
that they should NOT APPROACH, please
see the Office. The Bandana will initially
be free of charge to you, but you will
need to take care of it and bring it each
week, until you don’t require it any
more. If you lose or damage the
Bandana you will need to pay a small
fee for a replacement.
So if you see a dog wearing a Yellow
Bandana from now on – please give
them a wide berth and don’t touch them
or allow your dog to rush up to them or
play without talking to the handler first.

INTERESTED IN BECOMING AN INSTRUCTOR?
We are currently seeking members who would like to enrich their obedience experience by becoming an
Instructor. We will run another Instructor’s course as soon as we have enough participants.
You must have trained a dog to Class 3 level minimum and completed our Instructors Course, consisting
of lectures & a practical session. You would be required to 'understudy' our Instructors for a minimum of
6 months to obtain an understanding of our methods and the various techniques our Instructor's utilize.
All of our Instructors must carry a current 'Working With Children' Card. You must also be a member of
the Club for at least 6 months.
We do not expect you to give up training your dog, nor do you need to commit to every weekend of the
year. The more instructors we have, the more we can share the workload and occasionally train our own
dogs!
Instructing can be a very rewarding pastime!
If you are interested in becoming a NODC Instructor please see a Committee
Member or see your Instructor.

2013 Obedience Trial Helpers Form
If you are able to help out at the Melbourne Cup Day Obedience Trial, please fill in the form below
and return it by email to [email protected],au, or hand it in at the Front Desk on Saturday.
We require as much help as we can get, so please help if you can, even if it is for just an hour or
two. You don’t have to commit to the whole day.
We will start the day at 6.30am, setting up the rings and the equipment. There will be a change of
equipment in the rings sometime between 11.30am and 1.00pm, and the second trial should start
around 1.00pm. It should be all finished and ready to pack up at around 3.00pm.
If you are able to help in the morning we will give you toast and coffee or tea!! During the day
there will be sausages or cake available.
It does not matter if you also plan to enter the trial – we can work around that and there will be
plenty for you to do in between classes. We will make sure whatever job you get, for example
selling raffle tickets, will not distract you from your dog and your ring.
