Colinarra That’s Enough Dam: Flutterwing Fairy Bell Breeder: Flutterwing Mrs C J Cowley, NSW, Australia The moment I saw Buddy, I fell in love with him, he was so adorable and he had such attitude and gusto. Everything is done at warp speed and for him Agility is all about he and I running together and taking whatever is in our path. 9 10 Buddy began his Agility trialling in July 2006 with a 1 st place in Novice Jumping against all height dogs and from that day he set the standard. Within his first year he gained all his Novice and Excellent titles. The following year 2007 he became Masters titled in Agility and Jumping, going on to gain multiple Masters titles in both. This success made him a standout and in 2008 we were selected to represent NSW at the Australian National Agility Championships. Buddy was and still is the smallest dog to ever be selected in any State team. The year after that 2009, he gained the prestigious ANKC Agility Champion Title along with the ADAA Agility Champion and ADAA International Agility Dog title. He then went on to win the Sydney Royal Agility competition in 2010. What is special about this little dog, is that he is usually the smallest dog in the field measuring only 24cm. To gain the Agility Champion title, Buddy had to gain 20 x Masters Qualifying 1st places - 10 in Agility and 10 in Jumping, then also must gain another 20 x Masters Qualifying places, either 1st, 2nd or 3rd, again 10 in each agility and 10 in Jumping. Buddy is very well known in Australia, in fact I have had complete strangers tell me they know him from watching youtube or just hearing about this great little Papillion doing Agility. He was affectionately nicknamed “The Pap on Crack” by Ronda Carter when she came to Aust. for her Seminar in 2008 and he lives up to that name every time we enter the ring. There is no other quite like little Buddy and he is my “Once in a lifetime dog”. He is a special little dog, he is my friend, my companion, he is my Agility Champion. Although Buddy is still only a young dog at 6 yrs here are some of his career highlights so far: 2007 Jumping Dog of the Year - Agility Dog Club of NSW.

Well done to you both! 12 13 HEALTH AND WELFARE KENNEL COUGH WHAT IS IT? “Kennel cough” is an infectious bronchitis characterized by a harsh, hacking cough which most people describe as sounding like “something stuck in my dog’s throat.” It is analogous to a chest cold for humans and is only a serious condition in special circumstances (see below); in general, it resolves on its own. A dog with Kennel Cough generally feels active and maintains a normal appetite despite frequent fits of coughing. There is usually no fever or listlessness, just lots of coughing. (A coughing dog that has a poor appetite, fever, and/or listlessness should be evaluated for pneumonia.) WHAT DOES A COUGHING DOG SOUND LIKE? Dogs can make an assortment of respiratory sounds. Usually a cough is very recognizable but it is important to be aware of another sound called a “reverse sneeze.” The reverse sneeze is often mistaken for a cough, for a choking fit, for sneezing, for retching, or even for gasping for breath. In fact, the reverse sneeze represents a post-nasal drip or “tickle in the throat.” It is considered normal especially for small dogs or dogs and only requires attention if it is felt to be “excessive.” The point here is to know a cough when you see one. A cough can be dry or “productive,” meaning it is followed by a gag, swallowing motion, production of foamy mucus (not to be confused with vomiting). HOW DOES INFECTION OCCUR? The infected dog sheds infectious bacteria and/or viruses in respiratory secretions. These secretions become aerosolized and float in the air to be inhaled by a healthy dog. The normal respiratory tract has substantial safeguards against invading infectious agents. The most important of these is probably what is called the “mucociliary escalator.” This safeguard consists of tiny hair-like structures called “cilia”, which protrude from the cells lining the respiratory tract, and extend into a coat of mucus over them. The cilia beat in a coordinated fashion through the lower and more watery mucus layer called the “sol.” A thicker mucus layer called the “gel” floats on top of the sol. Debris, including infectious agents, get trapped in the sticky gel and the cilia move them upward towards the throat where the collection of debris and mucus may be coughed up and/or swallowed. The mucociliary escalator is damaged by the following: 13 14 shipping stress crowding stress heavy dust exposure cigarette smoke exposure infectious agents (viruses such as reovirus, adenovirus, parainfluenza virus, and even the distemper virus can be initiating infections). Cold temperature Poor ventilation Without this protective mechanism, invading bacteria, especially Bordetella bronchiseptica, the chief agent of Kennel Cough, may simply march down the airways unimpeded. Bordetella bronchiseptica organisms have some tricks of their own as well: They are able to bind directly to cilia, rendering them unable to move within 3 hours of contact. They secrete substances that disable the immune cells normally responsible for consuming & destroying bacteria Because it is common for Bordetella to be accompanied by at least one other infectious agent (such as one of the viruses listed below), “Kennel Cough” is actually a complex of infections, rather than infection by one agent. MEMBERS OF THE “KENNEL COUGH” COMPLEX Parainfluenza virus Canine Adenovirus type 2 Canine Distemper Virus Canine Herpesvirus Canine Reovirus (type 1, 2, or 3) Any of these viruses can produce a minor sore throat and cough ultimately allowing an “in” for the more toxic Bordetella bronchiseptica bacteria. Classically, dogs get infected when they are kept in a crowded situation with poor air circulation but lots of warm air (i.e. a boarding kennel, vaccination clinic, obedience class, local park, animal shelter, animal hospital waiting room, or grooming parlor). In reality, most causes of coughing that begin acutely in the dog are due to infectious causes and usually represent some form of Kennel Cough. THE INCUBATION PERIOD IS 2 - 14 DAYS 14 15 HOW IS DIAGNOSIS MADE? Usually the history of exposure to a crowd of dogs within the proper time frame plus typical examination findings (coughing dog that otherwise feels well) is adequate to make the diagnosis. Radiographs show bronchitis, though severe cases can progress to pneumonia, especially if the canine distemper virus is involved. HOW CONTAGIOUS IS IT? Among dogs Kennel Cough is fairly contagious depending on stress level, vaccination status, and exposure to minor viruses. Dogs shed Bordetella organisms for up to 3 months after infection. Bordetella is generally not considered contagious to humans though it is closely related to Bordetella pertussis, the agent of Whooping Cough. Immune-suppressed humans potentially could be infected. HOW IS KENNEL COUGH TREATED? Although most cases will go away on their own, we like to think we can hasten recovery with antibiotics to directly kill the Bordetella organism. Alternatively, Kennel Cough may be treated with cough suppressants to provide comfort during natural recovery. Alternatively, antibiotics and cough suppressants can be combined. WHEN IS IT A SERIOUS CONDITION? Very young puppies, especially those with a recent shipping history, are especially prone to severe cases of infectious tracheobronchitis (frequently progressing to pneumonia). In dogs where the distemper virus is involved , there is tremendous potential for serious consequences. VACCINATION OPTIONS: There are basically two options for Kennel cough vaccination: injectable and intranasal. It is important to realize that not all members of the Kennel Cough complex have a vaccine. Also, because Kennel Cough is a localized infection (meaning it is local to the respiratory tract), it is an infection that does not lend itself to prevention by vaccination. Vaccination must be regularly boosted and often vaccination simply muffles the severity of infection without completely preventing it. INJECTABLE VACCINE For puppies, injectable vaccination provides good systemic immunity as long as two doses are given (approximately one month apart) after age 4 months. Boosters are generally given annually. VACCINATION IS NOT USEFUL IN A DOG ALREADY INCUBATING KENNEL COUGH. NASAL VACCINE Intranasal vaccination may be given as early as 3 weeks of age and immunity generally lasts 10-12 months. (Usually this vaccine is also boosted annually.) The advantage here is that the local immunity is stimulated, right at the site where the natural infection would be trying to take hold. It takes 4 days to generate a solid immune response after intranasal vaccination so it is best if vaccination is given at least 4 days prior to the exposure. Some dogs will have some sneezing or nasal discharge in the week following intranasal vaccination. As a general rule, nasal vaccination provides faster immunity than injectable vaccination. There is some evidence that young puppies in a high risk environment may benefit from both injectable and nasal vaccination (rather than simply receiving one or the other). 15 16 WHAT IF KENNEL COUGH DOESN’T IMPROVE? As previously noted, this infection is generally self-limiting. It should be at least improved partially after one week of treatment. If no improvement has been observed in this time, a re-check exam (possibly including radiographs of the chest) would be a good idea. Failure of Kennel Cough to resolve suggests an underlying condition. Kennel Cough can activate a previously asymptomatic collapsing trachea or the condition may have progressed to pneumonia. There is also another respiratory infection called Canine Influenza, which seemed to be a racing greyhound issue exclusively until late 2005. This infection produces fever and pneumonia but starts looking like a routine Kennel Cough. This particular infection is much more severe, highly contagious, but for now seems to be uncommon. If you have questions about a coughing dog, do not hesitate to bring them to your veterinarian.

Tilley was Helen’s first home-bred Papillon and Champion. But Tilley was much more than that, for she was Helen’s soul mate. They were always together and always talking to each other, Helen’s beautiful girl who loved to perform on command. Her last performance was in Sydney, at the Easter 2008 Papillon Club of NSW show, under Judge Chie Ejima, Japan. Performing without a lead in the Property Classes and not missing a step to the delight of all who watched her that day. A mother of six champions, Tilley has left a legacy of her beauty to her sons and daughters as well as to generations to come. ‘My Tilley, you were a winner in so many ways. Never to be forgotten.’ Our sympathies go out to Helen on the loss of her special lady. May her spirit live on through her sons and daughters - Editor 19 20 (This page blank on purpose) 20 21 Bill Spilstead Complex for Canine Affairs Erskine Park Judge: Mr Clyde Rogers (NZ) Breed & Specialty Classes Classes to be judged: Parade of Veterans, Baby Puppy Sweepstakes followed by breed classes - 2,3,4,5,9,10,11 & 18 – dogs & bitches; then property classes Judging to commence at 10.00 am with Parade of Veterans; Baby Puppy Sweepstakes; Breed Classes; Property Classes: (BIS & RUBIS cannot compete in these classes) Best Ears, Phalene Ears, Head, Fringing, Gait, Feet, Black/White, Red/White, Tri, Coat, Tail, Most Alert, Brace, Parent/Offspring.
