From the UDC President
Linda Lindic
T
his is my initial president’s message in the FOCUS and
my first opportunity to “speak” with fellow United
Doberman Club members since being inducted with
other board members at our annual general meeting. This
year is the 25th anniversary of our organization, and we
kicked off the year with a fabulous UDC national event
in Winchester, Ky., hosted by the Working Dobermanns
of the Carolinas.
Now we are back home and “down to work,” and there is
much work to be done by me and your board of directors.
Some of the major initiatives that we have worked on or
are currently working on are the 2015 Fall IPO Classic —
providing an opportunity to have a fall trial for our IPO
dogs — and replacing our obsolete UDC Registry Program,
which is a database program containing records of your
dog’s titles, health reports and ancestry. This is the system
that generates your annual dog reports each year. We will
also be continuing work on our United Doberman manuals
and start looking at the 2016 UDC National.
It is important that we hear from you. Your board of
directors and I are here to serve our membership and our
amazing breed. To that end, we are also working on a survey.
When you receive this survey, please take the time to
complete it and communicate back to us. That is the only
way we will know we are working on the projects and
4
initiatives that are
important to you, our
members. Also, feel free
to contact your regional
director with any issues
you would like to
address to the board.
The listing of officers
and regional directors
can be found on page 6
of this FOCUS.
I also want to thank a
couple of members:
Traci Mulligan for offering to proof read the FOCUS for me,
and Michelle “Shelby” Labrie for volunteering to be assistant
editor of the FOCUS. Michelle also put together the first aid
article and got permission to reprint the article, “Heat Injury
in the Working Dog” by Danielle Bercier DVM. Shelby has
also volunteered to take over the Breeding Announcements
and Breeder’s Directory for the UDC. Thank you, Shelby!
In closing, I would like to mention that we are constantly
seeking volunteers to serve on various committees and help
with projects being worked on by the board of directors.
If you would like to volunteer, you may contact me at

Did You Know?
T
his new FOCUS column will be giving information
about UDC programs that our members may not be
very familiar with. Each issue will talk about a different
program. This time, we are highlighting the process of
getting your IPO title added to your dog’s AKC pedigree.
AKC Recognition of IPO Titles. The United
Doberman Club has been recognized by the Doberman
Pinscher Club of America and the American Kennel Club
(AKC) as the “Official Working Dog Organization,” meaning
working titles earned at UDC trials will be recognized on
AKC pedigrees and registration papers. For information
about the rules regarding recording working dog titles for
AKC-registered Dobermans, visit this link on the AKC web
page: www.akc.org/events/title-recognition-program/
working-dog/
How to Record a Working Dog Title with AKC.
The AKC will record Working Dog titles earned in events
held by organizations** as requested by breed parent clubs
and approved by the AKC. Recording of a title is done at the
request of a dog’s owner through the following process:
1. Upon earning a Working Dog title, complete the
Application to Record a Working Dog Title. Download your
application at http://images.akc.org/pdf/titles/working_dog/
application.pdf.
2. Attach a check or money order for the appropriate
amount, or complete the credit card information.
3. Mail the application and payment to the AKC.
4. AKC will verify and record the title. This can be done
through submitting a copy of the scorebook showing the
title earned and signed by the judge or through AKC
contacting the recording secretary for the host organization.
5. AKC will issue and mail a title certificate to the
recorded owner. Only one title will be recorded per
application, and only the highest level achieved will appear
on the dog’s pedigree. An updated Registration Certificate
and Pedigree may also be ordered via the Title Application
form. Please be aware that event superintendents or event
secretaries may, but are not required to, print AKCrecognized Working Dog titles in event catalogs.
Please go to the AKC website for the application to
record a Working Dog title (http://images.akc.org/pdf/
titles/working_dog/application.pdf) and information on
which event-giving organizations whose Working Dog
titles AKC will recognize (http://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.
com/americankennelclub/Title_Recognition/AKC_
Recognized_Working_Dog_Organizations.pdf).

Summer 2015
Are you prepared
for the
WORST?
by Shelby Frye, VTDC Vice President
I
t’s a pretty fair gamble to say that, as working Doberman
owners, we have all had those heart-stopping moments
of pure terror. You know the ones — where time slows to
a crawl as you watch your beloved beast barrel head first
into danger, disaster or mayhem, and you stand there in
shock as your lungs stop working, your heart ceases to beat
and you couldn’t form a sentence if your life or your dog’s
life depended on it. Sometimes there’s no preventing it,
there is no stopping it, and if it were playing out on a movie
screen, your long, baritone “NOOooo!” would be the perfect
soundtrack to the drama happening in front of you. The
question is, once the unstoppable damage has happened,
are you prepared to manage it?
We recently posted a poll inquiring if people had a dog
first-aid kit on hand — a remarkable 72 percent of folks did.
Of those owners who have a dog first-aid kit, 33 percent
of them kept their kit in the home, and 23 percent had
multiple kits they kept both in the home and in their travel
vehicles. 69 percent of the owners polled said that they had
a kit and felt confident that they could handle emergency
situations with the contents of their kits. Five percent of
people did not feel that they could handle a
serious emergency, but that their
kit would aid them with
minor issues.
Only 10 percent of owners felt that they could deal with an
emergency without a kit. In a breed bred for athleticism and
working drive, along with its menagerie of known health
issues, is it wise to just roll the dice with your dog’s wellbeing, or would you rather stack the deck in your favor?
So what should you have in your kit to be better prepared?
Basic kit. Here are the absolute basics you should keep
on hand according to kit owners:
A medium bag with a sturdy zipper, preferable one
that is waterproof/resistant
Emergency contact numbers: your vet, poison control,
local hotels that take pets, boarding shelters
Copy of your dog’s up-to-date vaccines (Keep these in
a zip-lock bag with your emergency contacts.)
A current photo of your dogs (in case they get lost)
A leash/collar
Tick puller/tweezers
Gauze or strips of towels
Medical tape/Vet Wrap
Antiseptic ointment, wipes, lotion, powder or spray
Super glue
Cotton balls (in a small zip-lock bag)
A pill box containing: aspirin, antihistamine, Gas-X,
Imodium, any prescription medications your dog takes.
Peroxide
Saline
Treats/food/bowl
Pair of non-latex disposable gloves
CPR instructions
Wet wipes
Advanced Kit. This kit should include all of the things
in the basic kit, plus any of these customizable extras:

Now that you have the list of the most basic to the most
professional items, you should decide if you are going to
make your own kit or buy one (or two!). Most owners who
had kits chose to make their own — 63 percent, actually.
Another 11 percent bought a pre-made kit, but added to it
as they needed. Two percent bought a kit and left it as is,
and 9 percent were given a kit as a prize, giveaway or by
their vet. There are numerous websites out there with good
kits; Googling “first aid kits for dogs” will get you an endless
supply of choices. Having Googled those exact words and
waded through the Internet, here are my personal top three
sites where one can pick up a “basic” kit.
1. Duluth Trading Company Trail Dog First Aid Kit.
Why I like it:
• It’s a portable, durable size.
• It has a first-aid guide written by an emergency vet
• It’s waterproof
• It contains almost all the items on the “basic” list
• It’s a decent price at $25.95
2. Dr Fosters and Smith Canine Friendly Pet First
Aid Kit. Why I like it:
• It has belt loops! Or a handle for easy carrying
First Aid continued from page 14
•
•
•
It’s contains most of the items on the “basic” list
Includes a first-aid manual with easy-to-read instructions
It’s a reasonable price at $27.99, which means you can
get two, one for your home and one for your car.
3. Baxterboo Ready Dog Gun Dog First Aid Kit. Why
I like it:
• Includes quality tools and a lot of the things on the
“advanced” list
• Heavy-duty bag with two see-through pockets
• Includes a first-aid book
• For its contents, it’s a good price at $89.97
Part of the reason I like these three kits is because I have
purchased items from these companies and have never had
a bad experience. Of course, you may like other companies
or kits better, and should use your best judgment while
making your purchases.
You may be like the 63 percent of owners who prefer to
customize their first-aid kit and make their own. In that
case, most, if not all, of these items can be purchased at
your local drugstore or through your veterinarian. Of
course, any of these items can be in any of your kits at anytime, and you should keep more of what you need based on
your individual needs, habitat and life style.
You have your kit, so now what?
• You should keep your kit(s) in easily accessible places.
• Keep your dog’s first-aid kit with your own emergency/
disaster bag. If you don’t have a disaster bag or plan, visit
redcross.org for more information and help with planning.
• Keep a spare kit in your car or camper/RV, as you never
know when you will come across an emergency situation.
• Check and refresh the contents as needed. It’s
suggested to check your supplies every six months. Adding
it to your daylight-savings-day check list can be a great way
to make sure it gets done.
• Review and familiarize yourself with basic dog first
aid. Trying to find the instructions in an emergency
situation does not make it any easier, but just like training
for the IPO field, practice makes perfect.
My dogs, like many of you, are my world. I never know
what whacky, funny or entertaining adventures I may get
into with them, but with my first-aid kits, I at least am
prepared to tackle an emergency. I know by having my kits
available, I may one day save my dog’s life, and that is the
main reason I urge owners to carry one. In fact, my kit has
saved my dog’s life and myself a costly vet bill.
Here’s an embarrassingly true story of why it’s important
to be prepared. My retired K9 Diessel, a Belgian Malinois
that now lives a happy, lazy life of leisure, one day
swallowed an entire cereal spoon. I won’t get into details,
but it came out of my hand and went down his throat in a
blink of an eye. Poof, there one second, gone the next. I
stood there in awe for about five seconds before running
into the bathroom where I keep my kit and grabbed the
bottle of peroxide. I did not have a large-bore syringe or a
turkey baster to dump it down his throat, but I knew from
familiarizing myself with dog first aid that I could mix the
peroxide with something sweet, like ice cream, and the dog
would drink it all on his own. Sure enough, a quarter of a
gallon of ice cream, ½ cup of peroxide and 100 throws of
his ball later, and up came the spoon. I was calm (mostly)
because I was prepared, and had saved Diessel from death or
an expensive and invasive surgery.
And let’s be honest, I use half the stuff in their kits fixing
my own injuries sustained while training, playing and
living life with working Dobermans. Dobe photo Linda Lindic

M
y first Doberman was a black female that was very
sweet, but she was handler soft and shut down
easily. I knew for my next Dobe that I wanted a red
male with stronger nerve, along with good drive and work
ethic for agility and obedience. In January of 2005, I
started to look for a male puppy, but did not know which
breeders were breeding for the “Total Doberman.” I had
gotten involved with Doberman Rescue MN shortly after
getting my first Dobe, and became friends with Laura
Hulke, who was president of DRM. Since Laura had been
part of the Doberman community for quite a while, I
asked her if she knew a good breeder who had an upcoming litter that should do well in performance sports. She
told me about a breeding that Julie Stade, BJF Dobermans,
had planned between her female, Kansa's Veritas Vos
Liberabit, a Gino Gomez daughter, and her male, BJF
Crescendo v Aquarius, a Bro son that had several obedience
titles and was the fifth Doberman to earn both an AKC
championship and Schutzhund III. Laura told me this
should be an exceptional litter, and she would love to have
a puppy from it if she had room for another Dobe.
The next month I contacted Julie to introduce myself
and to ask to be considered for a red male from this breeding
if one became available. There were three puppies born in
the litter: one black female, one black male and one red male.
I was so happy when Julie said the red boy would be mine!
From the moment I brought Ryun home, I could tell
he was different from my female. He made constant eye
contact with me and loved to train. He was and still is very
food motivated, and will tug until my arms drop. It is such
a joy to train a dog that doesn’t want to stop working until
you do. He has always done whatever I have asked and is
my constant companion.
Ryun passed his Adult Temperament Test a couple weeks
after his second birthday. I will never forget the conditions
Ryun at the 2007 UDC National
20
under which we were tested. It was at the 2007 UDC
National in Decatur, Ill., and the weather was horrible, to
say the least. We had heavy rain coupled with high winds
that made it difficult for both Ryun and me to see. Ryun
had no prior bitework training — he had never seen a
decoy. I wasn’t even sure how he would handle the adverse
weather conditions. At first he moved side to side in front
of me, just watching the aggressor without barking. Then
when the aggressor came toward us, it was like someone
flipped a switch and he went to the end of leash barking.
I had all I could do to remain upright and hang on to him.
I was both startled and pleased with his reaction … it was
an experience I will never forget!
At the 2008 UDC National, Ryun received two CCs and
went Reserve Winners Dog. In July of 2008, we went to
Denver for a regional show, and Ryun received his third
CC to complete his UDC championship.
My first love is agility, then obedience, so Ryun and I
have spent most of our time in the NADAC and AKC agility
rings. Ryun is a dog with a lot of muscle and bone, which
doesn’t make him the fastest agility dog, but he has earned
several titles over the years due to his consistency and
awesome jumping ability; he seldom knocked a bar. Ryun
retired from agility competition at age 8 when he started
refusing jumps. At first I thought this was due to arthritis,
but further investigation by my vet revealed a partially torn
cruciate ligament in his left leg. Now at 10 years old he
enjoys digging up moles, chasing chipmunks, spending
sunny days on the deck or snoozing on the futon. Ryun has
truly been the dog of my dreams … I love him dearly! UDC Focus • Summer 2015

Tracking 101: The
By Anne Rammelsburg
Editors Note: This is a reprint of an article that appeared in the FOCUS years ago written by former UDC President
Anne Rammelsburg. This article is as relevant today as it was at the time it was written. I thought it would be a good
idea to include it in this working dog issue. If you have a favorite article from the past, please let me know
and I can share it with our new members! — Linda Lindic
Here are the Six Stages of Basic Tracking 101, the general
progression for training your dog to track:
Stage 1. Dog eats food that is laid on the track, and is
not easily distracted by variations in the track (such as
curves, turns, changes in cover and distractions) to arrive at
the jackpot, usually food. Food combined with the track is
used to increase drive and confidence.
Stage 2. Dog follows track, checking each footstep even
when there is not food present in every step, and the dog
now can negotiate variations in the track without undue
stress. Track ends with a food jackpot or article (dog
determines which one).
Stage 3. Dog follows track with random bait, and will
indicate an article at the end of a stretch of track containing
no food. The track always ends at an article. Simultaneously,
there is often focus on proper article indication (motivational) that is done in the absence of a track.
Stage 4. Dog tracks for articles (where dog gets fed).
There is generally no food on the track, and the distance
between articles is initially pretty small and regular,
gradually moving toward randomness. Some dogs should/
can have bait between articles when the distance is large
enough between food and article(s).
30
Stage 5. Dog will track for articles and can negotiate
turns and long stretches without any reward. Rewards
should now be random and earned by the best behavior
shown by the dog.
However, it is important to not make the dog work for
nothing too frequently or the dog will find tracking
unrewarding and may quit, just as you would quit your job
if you didn't get paid!
Stage 6. Dog will track at end of line for articles and can
negotiate turns and long stretches without a reward. Dog is
accustomed to trial procedure (check in, people following
or watching, check out). Handler knows all rules and
regulations pertaining to trial entry, and is prepared to
read the dog at the end of the line and adjust handling
should it be necessary.
Tracking takes practice. It is often helpful to track three
or more times per week since it gives the dog multiple
chances to learn. Familiar locations and easy conditions
(visible) are good times to move forward in stages. It is
important to regress in training when conditions are
difficult (new) or the dog has had a longer-than-usual break
from tracking. As you move forward in stages, don't forget
to mix in tracks to reinforce the foundation!
VERY Basics!

Laying Tracks
• Know the conditions of the area where
you will lay the track, including: cover,
temperature, wind, precipitation,
moisture and time of day.
• Know the dog: its experience level,
drive, what the dog likes/dislikes and
what is easy/hard for that dog.
• Lure vs. reward; frequency intervals;
reward size and variety; why random?
• Teaching article indications: on and
off the track
Reading the dog's tracking behavior
• Au naturale or modified behaviors?
• Motivation or drive level: calm vs.
hectic dogs
• Working out a problem, lost or
distracted?
Line handling
• Helping vs. hindering
• Maintaining obedience to the track
Planning training sessions
• Have a goal; know all the component
requirements to meet that goal.
• Keep a journal or log to help you learn
from successes/ mistakes of both you
and the dog
• Balance the use of “easy” and “hard”
tracks during training sessions. Summer 2015 • UDC Focus

eat injury is a common occurrence in sport and
working dogs. If the early stages are identified and
managed, further progression, with potentially
life-threatening consequences, can be avoided. Severe
cases can result in chronic health issues, including
kidney failure and sensitivity to heat. Heat injury is so
much more than an overly hot dog. This article will
help make you aware of the dog’s normal cooling
mechanisms, signs of heat injury, treatment of heat
injury and preventive measures to help avoid the problem.
Normal Temperature Regulation. The normal
temperature for a dog is 99-102 degrees Farenheit;
however, an elevation to 107 degrees during work can
be normal in a fit, athletic dog for short periods. This
elevated temperature (hyperthermia) becomes a problem
if the body looses its ability to compensate and cool itself
in a reasonable time. The canine body uses several
mechanisms to dissipate body heat. Panting increases
air flow over moist surfaces in the oral cavity and upper
respiratory tract for evaporative cooling. As the surfaces
cool, so does the superficial blood, which continues to
circulate. Panting breaths are shallow and rapid — up to
300 per minute. The goal is to bring as much cooler air
into contact with these surfaces as possible. There are
36
runs of deeper breaths among the panting for improved
oxygenation, until the dog is in severe distress when this
becomes impossible. The heat of the tissues is absorbed
by the water content of the saliva in the mouth, and
the water that covers the respiratory tract. As this water
evaporates, it carries the heat energy, releasing it into the
environment. This is only effective if the gums are moist
and the environment is not humid, i.e., saturated with
water-filled air. When self-correcting via panting, dogs
often dip their muzzles or heads into water, biting into it
as they drink. This not only adds coolness, but increases
the available water for heat transport.
Contrary to popular belief, dogs have sweat glands
on their paws around the pads that assist in evaporative
cooling. Some dogs learn to cool off by standing or
splashing in water. The paws also take advantage of
the radiation of body heat directly into the cooler
environment. This explains the moist paw prints left on
a cool floor by a hot dog. The radiation of body heat is
much more efficient than the evaporative efforts of
panting, and occurs across the entire body. Dogs often
take advantage of this by lying on concrete rather than
grass on a summer day. It is with evaporative cooling that
we can intervene the most actively and effectively in

helping to cool a dog. Heat is energy, and it always transfers
from a warmer to a colder body or place. (With apologies to
the physicists, I think we can leave it at that!) For radiant
cooling to be most effective, the environment needs to be
significantly cooler than the body, and have low humidity.
Signs of Heat Injury. It can be difficult to notice early
signs of heat injury in very high-drive dogs, especially if
you’re not looking for them. These dogs keep on going until
they physically cannot, rather than being obvious about
their stress. There are early signs, and you have to be careful
and pay attention to your dog to be able to identify them.
Some of the clues that your dog is getting overheated are
described below in no particular order, as each will worsen
as the injury progresses:
1. Shade seeking. We’ve all seen dogs take their reward
into the blind’s shade, or even the handler’s shade. It means
they need a break now, not after you run the blinds three
more times. In a fit dog, this might mean a 10-minute break
before doing the exercise again, with the plan to do just
enough that the session ends on a positive note. You can
always bring the dog out again later.
2. Slowing down. Whether running blinds for the fourth
time or playing catch for fun, the dog may return to you
slowly or incompletely because it knows you will make it
go again. As the dog moves slowly, or stands to rest, it may

literally sway on it feet as the condition worsens.
Conversely, as a dog’s distress progresses, it may run in a
disjointed (“spaced out”) manner, without heed to your
call, toward the last place it found water or coolness. At this
point, you should know there is a problem: glassy eyes, loud
gaspy panting, ears may be folded in an unusual fashion.
3. Excessive panting. The mouth opens wide and lips
retract to expose more of the mouth’s interior to the cooler
air. The gums and tongue progress from light pink to darker
red as the saliva changes from copius clear liquid to a
thicker white foam or paste-like consistency. The body’s
drive to reduce the temperature does not allow the
intermittent runs of deeper breaths, so the body becomes
starved for oxygen. When the mouth becomes dry,
evaporative cooling does not take place. The muscular
activity of non-productive panting increases the body
temperature further.
4. Incoordination (ataxia). This includes components of
both muscle fatigue and mental dullness. Heat injury in the
later stages leads to a dog stumbling, leaning on objects to
hold itself up, loosing consciousness and possibly seizuring.
Treatment. The most important aspect of treatment is
rapid, effective cooling. Read that sentence again. The important words are rapid and effective. Be sure the dog has

some degree of heat tolerance.

Some dogs learn to cool off by
standing or splashing in water.
Consider how you arrive at the club. Driving to the
field with the AC cooling the car to 45 degrees, then unloading and going to train in temperatures of 90F with 80
percent humidity is very hard on the dog. On the last 20
minutes of the drive, let the car warm up a bit. After the
dog works enough to be hot on a really hot day, put him
in the car with the AC running for 15 minutes to help
cool him down more rapidly. When you’re parked at the
field, pay attention to shade, even if you have to park
a little farther away. When the shade shifts, vehicles
can be moved.
Air flow is of prime importance. Open windows or
even doors in the vehicle to find a cross breeze. You may
have to pull the crate out of the vehicle to get some air
flow. Covering the crate with a blanket because you
haven’t taught your dog not to bark makes it pretty
stifling. Some commercial dog boxes that are used in
truck beds have minimal air vents. Be sure you research
before you select one. The argument that “I have to close
him in or he’ll bark” is ridiculous and unsafe. Maybe you
can park farther from the field. These dogs can be taught
not to bark nonstop in their crates.
Always bring more water than you need, and consider
a fan to place in front of the crate.
There are several on the market
that run on batteries or the 10V
plug in the truck.
During training, be sure to allow

signs of heat stress, stop, cool
them, give them water and a break.
Even if they are just tired and
panting heavily but not stressed,
give them a break for a few
minutes. As fitness improves, the
dog’s need for rest breaks decreases.
Just like the rest of us! When your
session is over, don’t run back to
the truck, close the dog in and go back
to the field to watch. Walk the dog
around a bit to radiate some body heat
and cool down those muscles, offer him
a drink and make sure he’s okay. Most
dogs that are panting heavily will sit up
in the crate to make breathing easier,
but as they cool and panting decreases,
they are able to lie down and rest. Try to
figure out what is normal for your dog.
Go back after five or 10 minutes and
check on your dog if you’re concerned.
A common cause of heat injury is
dogs left in closed cars. A former K9
officer shared the following preventive
measure with me: If you leave your
dog in a vehicle with the AC running,
always leave windows down a couple
of inches. If the vehicle quits running,
hot air will rise and escape, and the
dog will be less likely to die. Working
K9s die every year when they are left
in a running vehicle with the AC on, because the
engine stops.
This topic has particular importance to me because I
have a German Shepherd dog that is very sensitive to
heat injury after incurring
heat stroke at a young age.
He suffers a moderate to
severe heat injury an average
of twice a year from chasing
dragonflies or fence running.
The symptoms I described
earlier are from many
observations of him as well as
from veterinary client dogs.
Needless to say, he spends
