Message From The Chair:
With most of the country enduring a particularly snowy, wet
winter season coast to coast, there is little doubt that spring
will have most fancier’s eager to get back to their canine
pursuits without the threat of poor weather. Soon we hope to
see days that will be milder, contain more sunshine and less
snow, rain and bone numbing temperatures for man and
beast! Perhaps the one good thing that has come from our
Canadian winter 08/09 is that all our Labradors should have
grown exception, proper coats!
The LRCC Executive and Board have been busy on various
projects. More extensive up dates can be found elsewhere
within the Newsletter on them but I will briefly touch on a
few things.
In early 2009, we were in contact with Dr Woods, Chair of our Breed Standard Review Committee. He let us know that the Standard approved by the LRCC passed through the Events Officiation Committee without any problems. To the best of his knowledge, the next step for the
Standard will be for the CKC to publish it for comment. We are not sure as to what the timeline
for that publication is so keep your eyes peeled on the Official Pages that the CKC puts out
month with Dogs In Canada. The 2009 National and WC Tests are hosted by the River City
Labrador Enthusiasts in Winnipeg Manitoba August 6-9. Please take a moment to visit the 09
National website to get the latest information and view the trophy sponsorship classes. The link
is available at www.labradorretriever.ca . The 2010 National is being hosted by the Labrador
Retriever Club of Alberta and the Board is working on the regional locations of the Nationals
’11, ’12 and ’13. We will update you with this information in the next Newsletter.
Please don’t forget, the LRCC has its own email list. It was established for you to keep in touch
with your fellow LRCC members in sharing your Labrador activities and for any discussion
pertaining to the National Club and its activities. Contact myself at the email below to get onto
it if you so wish. The homepage for the list is http://groups.google.ca/group/lrccmembersonline .
A recent donation made on behalf of the LRCC Inc., to the Banned Aid Legal Fund (see the article on this elsewhere in the Newsletter) spurred the Board to request some feedback from the
membership. We were interested in hearing how you view donations/requests for donations
and the clubs funds. The poll ends in early March and we’ve had a good response. Being our
first attempt at ‘online polls’, it appears that it is a good way to reach the membership quickly
and achieve the needed feedback. Watch your mailboxes for future polls and the final results
will be posted on the LRCC Email List and in the next Newsletter.
Please feel free if you have any suggestions or concerns to contact your Director of the LRCC.
Open communication between the membership and Executive/Board of Directors is very important so that the club and our stewardship of the breed are best served.
Yours in Labradors
Kim Beverly, Chair 2008-2011

Message from the Editor:
Is the LRCC Newsletter relevant any more??
It is a question I wrestle with as I prepare to put together each issue
of a newsletter that I have been receiving myself for over 20 years.
But despite its longevity, relevant and current material for each issue
is increasingly difficult to source, despite pleas to the membership.
We have to be cognizant of the other forms of media in an ever
changing world of technology that allows virtually instant access to
thoughts ideas and yes .. Feedback. In order to elicited increased
member response to the newsletter, in the last issue we asked members their views on the topic of medical advancements available for
today's breeder. The response … 0 ….. So I poised the same question on the LabList and got an instant response from a number of
breeders and members (see inside for details). I think this is a very telling result.
Now that is not to say that there isn’t anybody from the membership who is contributing… far
from it. But with a mailing list that includes over 125, I typically receive input from fewer than
10 over and above the Executive and Regional Directors—and even then, they do not provide
specifically requested material .. Again .. See inside for details (or lack thereof).
In the last issue we also asked members opinions on how to distribute the newsletter, by email
or as a web download, vs in the “snail mail” The results are as follows:
Snail Mail in hard copy= 6. Email or web download=6 (one wants the option for both)
12 of 125 .. Not great. While appreciative of the 12 members who responded, what about the
other 115 of you ??? Are you out there .. No opinion?? If we don’t get any better a response
to issues poised in the Newsletter, we will just quit asking.
And our letters to the editor section … not one response in 2 issues….. I am asking the membership to voice their support for the newsletter or it will cease to exist in the form we see today
… perhaps a more current format tied to the LRCC email list is the way to go .. It would be current, cost less and may provide a more suitable medium for information exchange in today's
high-tech world?
Looking ahead to this year, the LRCC National will be held in Manitoba along with Manitoba
Canine Show. For those who may be considering their holiday plans for August, details of the
Specialties are now on the MCA website. http://www.manitoba-canine.ca/ . Hope you are able
to join us!
And in this issue a new feature .. Dogs with Jobs … got a story, send it in (I have 3 now!!)
I hope you enjoy this issue and I look forward to your feedback. Contact me anytime … as always .. Hunting and fishing with my buddy …. Jimmy …. [email protected]

With the worst of winter behind us, I for one am looking forward to the 2009 show season filled

those who returned them to me so promptly. March 31 st is the deadline so for those who have
not yet done so, you still have a little time. Welcome to all our new members and we look forward to any and all contributions you may wish to share with the LRCC membership.

Banned Aid Calls For Support
In late 2004 a canine Coalition was founded by combining the following groups; The Dog Legislation Council of Canada, The Golden Horseshoe American Pit Bull Terrier Club, Advocates
for the Underdog, The American Staffordshire Terrier Club of Canada and The Staffordshire
Bull Terrier Club of Canada. The role of the Coalition was to defeat the breed specific legislation in Ontario-Bill 136. Led by then Attorney General Michael Bryant, the Government had
legislated breed specific amendments to the Dog Owners’ Liability Act which became law in
August 2005. The Coalition took their case to the Ontario Court of Appeal and there was a
short lived victory by the Coalition and their lawyers who challenged this legislation. Unfortunately the Court of Appeal ruled to reverse its recommendations in the fall of 2008 and Ontario
was back to Breed Specific Legislation. It was felt that if the ruling of the Court of Appeal wasn’t challenged; breed specific legislation would spread across the country like wildfire. How
long would it be until the right to owning any breed specific dog would be in severe danger?
Today’s Am Staff could easily be tomorrows Labrador Retriever.
In mid January 2009, a request for assistance was announced by the Banned Aid Coalition with
a mass email sent out to dog lists far and wide. In the Coalitions attempt to turn back the Ontario Provincial ruling of legislation having specific breeds cited in Ontario, a very large bill
had piled up in legal costs and fees attached to a hearing in the Ontario Court of Appeal. The
Coalition now wished to move to the next stage in their appeal, the Superior Court of Canada.
In order to proceed, the legal bill which was $67,000.00 to date with well known hired lawyers
Clayton Ruby, and co-counsel Breese Davies, had to be paid by January 30, 2009. That left just
over two weeks to raise funds. Soon dog clubs and fanciers from coast to coast were joining the
fight with their donations to pay the bill.
Some used PayPal, cheques also were mailed directly to Mr. Ruby’s law office in downtown
Toronto and a few others delivered their donation in person. In fact, money donations did come
in from the United States and Europe and even cat owners got into the generous spirit in opening their wallets. The call to arms did not fall on deaf ears with the members of the Labrador
Retriever Club of Canada. Two separate emails were received by the Executive and Board of
Directors; one being Michelle Delaliaux and the other by Janice Kivimaki. Both ladies requested the LRCC step up to the plate and aid in assisting the Coalition in donating to the legal
fund. Both had very valid concerns that if Bill 136 was not able to be heard by the Superior
Court and hopefully overturned, canine ownership in Canada could become very unstable in the
ensuing years. A motion was stuck by Joyce Love, Director for Manitoba, and was passed that a
donation of $300 be sent on behalf of the LRCC. With the Executive and Boards action, the
LRCC helped in turning the financial crisis for the Coalition and the funding goal was met and
surpassed by the January deadline!

The following was received and the Executive and Board wish to share this with you all:

Subject: OUTSTANDING !
On behalf of the DLCC I would like to thank each and every member of your club for your
donation. It is so incredible.........and as a Labrador, soon to rescuer of an elderly old boy I
am so proud of you guys!!
DOG BLESS YOU ALL.

"Fighting ignorance since 2003..it's taking longer than we thought."
While the fight for the dissolution of the breed specific legislation goes on in Ontario, and hopefully a date with the Superior Court of Canada, the request to donate did bring up some questions among the LRCC Executive and Board of Directors. While two members felt passionately enough to contact the LRCC directly, how did the membership on whole feel about the
clubs monies being used for such circumstances? The number of requests for donations to date
has been few. However with science making leaps and bounds with genetic tests to aid in
breeding practises pre-screening methods and legislative issues concerning dogs and breeding
on the forefront these days, how long before someone else would knock on the LRCC door, donation box in hand? An online poll concerning the LRCC and donations was sent to the membership in early February 2008. While a final tally is unavailable at the Newsletters publishing
deadline, we will report to you in the next Newsletter the results and they will be available
online via the LRCC’s Google Group email list. The Executive and Board still invite you comment on this matter and any correspondence can be sent to our club Secretary via snail mail or
email. It is your club, your hard earned monies raised via hosting club events. How do you
think the LRCC should handle these future requests? Your Executive and Board of Directors
wish to know!

BRITISH COLUMBIA DIRECTOR’S REPORT
Hello from British Columbia.
Well BC is in the swing of things preparing for our 2009 BC Regional being held in conjunction with the Sporting Dog Spectacular in Surry on July 17, 2009 It will only be a conformation show this year but hopefully we will get more involved in some working and hunt shows in
the future.
Looking forward to seeing many of your there for a great fun filled weekend.
Puppy enquires continue to be brisk as families begin their search for a new family member this
spring.
I would like to take this moment to say thank you to all who have support me in being the webmaster for our LRCC website over the past years, and now pass the torch to Paul Pobega who
took over the site and it’s new address January 2009. I know it still looks the same but the website committee is working hard on the new layout and it will be up one day soon. Thanks Paul
for stepping up to head this committee and large venture. We all look forward to a fresh new
look.
Brags from BC:
Marlene Fletcher and her Lonsdale Labradors in Castlegar BC is proud to brag that “Nelson”
aka Shwarzenberg Lancaster Lad got his CDX with 2 high in class. Nelson of course is one of
the few dogs left, still in the ring from Ursula’s & Dieters Schwarzenberg Kennel.
“Norman” aka Homestays the Norman Conquest got his Championship (much to his breeders
delight—Barbara Cameron of Homestay in Victoria).
Yours in Labradors

ALBERTA / NWT / NUNAVUT Director
First off – a Very Happy, Healthy, Prosperous New Year to Everyone!
The dog show season is slowing getting underway. Here in Alberta we have had the Alberta
Kennel Club all breed shows and trials. I’m very delighted to report that Margie and Ed
Miller’s very nice black male special, Ch. Waifin’s Fly Cabot to Torngat (Cabot) took a Group
First under judge Wendy Petkau. Cabot is owner handled by Ed. I see by the Stats that Cabot
is in number one place at the moment. Congratulations to Ed and Margie.
For those of you planning your summer campaign, the Labrador Retriever Club of Alberta has
two Regional Specialties and Working Certificate tests planned for this June in Edmonton:….
June 5th, 2009, Cecilia Martinez, Southernwind, will judge all regular conformation classes.
June 5th, 2009, Dr. Michael Woods, Waterdog, will judge a booster at the all breed show.
June 6th, 2009, Janet Healy, Jandor, will judge Sweepstakes
June 6th, 2009, Pluis Daveron, will judge all regular conformation classes.
June 6th, 2009, Obedience Booster under Dr.Michael Woods
June 6th, 2009, Rally Booster under Shelley Hennessy from Ohio.
June 7th, 2009, WC, WCI, WCX tests.
June 27, 28, 29, 2009, The LRCA will be holding 3 days of Hunt Tests (3xJH, 3xSH, 3xMH)
For further information on conformation events please contact Lori Chamaschuk at [email protected]
For further information on obedience and hunt tests please contact Lionel Whittaker at
[email protected]
The LRCA in conjunction with the Poodle Club of Canada held obedience trials over the Family Day long weekend in Edmonton. No results are available at this time.
In January, I met with Moira Thom and Margie Miller to discuss our plans for up coming education with the LRCC. Once the up-dated Labrador Retriever Standard has been officially approved by the Canadian Kennel Club we will run it, along with the official LRCC Illustrated
Standard (minus illustrations) in the breed column of Dogs in Canada. In the not too distant
future we hope to have available information booklets for breeders and pet owners. This booklet will have the aims, information about the breed, the official standard, puppy ownership, resources, videos, periodicals, a list of breed clubs who are members of LRCC and any other information the committee feels pertinent to the Labrador Retriever.
On a final note, would all Alberta members please submit any Group, Best Puppy in Group,
Best in Show, Best Puppy in Show wins to me and I’ll see they are included in my Alberta Director’s report for the LRCC Newsletter.

Thank you so much for inviting me to judge your show. I had a wonderful time and really enjoyed getting to meet so many new people. The show was very well run and I could not have
asked for a better ring steward - Leeanne Rigby. She kept me on my toes and made sure that
the exhibitors did not get to talking while waiting in the shade and forget to come back into the
ring. Great job Leeanne, thank you.
13
But best of all, I got to put my hands on your wonderful dogs. Your dogs have some of the
most beautiful heads I have seen in a long time. Correct proportions with good angles and the
best of eyes. No round eyes with drooping eye lids. Their expressions just made me melt!
Body length on the average was also very good. In other places I have seen long dogs with
their length in the loin rather than the rib cage. Over all, some very nice dogs with good movement and some puppies that I will look forward to watching them mature.

Doindogs Pat
I also helped out on an ALRC Fun Match, the club put on the weekend before the HFC show,
which by all reports was successful financially and fun for all participants 2 and 4 legged.

LRCC Website Committee Update
The new domain for the club, www.labradorretrieverclub.ca is up and running. The Executive
and BOD granted the Website Committee with $1000.00 budget for the complete new design of
the Club’s Website.
The Committee began obtaining quotes from various designers within our budget. One of our
requirements was to receive a quick mock up from these designers to view their abilities. References were checked and based on value and quality, in mid December the contract was
awarded to a freelance designer that is involved in the dog show world. A $100.00 deposit was
required to start the work with her. She felt at the time of hiring that she could complete the
site by December 31, 2008.
20
Unfortunately due to technical difficulty on the designers end, the project started to experience
delays which continued to affect the timeline for the project. There was communication to and
from the designer which the Committee felt she was becoming difficult and causing further delay. Without the designer knowing, the Committee was prepared to start fresh and look for another designer. However, we decided to regroup with the designer and as a result, in early February, the Committee agreed on the template designed by the designer.
Shortly thereafter, we lost communication with the designer and again started to receive attitude
from her when we did reach her. The Committee regrouped at the end of February, we decided
to give the designer a deadline of March 4, 2009, which includes the redesign of the LRCC
logo. Should the deadline not be met, we have discussed possibly providing her with another
$100.00 for the template and we would have to look at another designer to take over the project.
In short, the Committee wanted to have the new site up and running sooner than latter and we
attempted to work with the current designer. Our goal is to get this site done concentrating on
value and quality and hope that its completion is near.
Sincerely,
The Website Committee

ONTARIO DIRECTOR’S REPORT
The Labrador Owners Club held a nicely entered Booster at the Georgina Kennel Club show in
November 2008. Approximately 45 Labradors were entered. The Labrador Owners Club
also held two Obedience Trials in Ancaster on Feb. 14, 2009.
The seasonal slow down in dog events started in December 2008. There were though various
nice LRCC member’s Labradors strutting their stuff in the conformation ring with some group
placements, even a Best Puppy in Show at the Elora Gorge show. Congratulations to all the
winners.
The Labrador Owners Club is holding their specialty show on June 6 & 7, 2009. The Specialty
conformation, sweeps and Junior handling will be held at the Holiday Inn in Cambridge, Ontario. Obedience Trials will be held at Dogwood Training Facility in Puslinch, Ontario and the
WC/I/X will be held at Valens Park in Flamborough, Ontario.
Since my last Director’s Report, inquiries from the LRCC website have been very minimal.
There were 2 sent to 6 LRCC members from the LRCC site and another 4 referrals from our
personal puppy inquiries were sent to 12 LRCC members.

Gone Fishin’
Submitted by Joanne Fraser with permission from Suzi Beber, who kindly provided the resource information.
Fish is an excellent addition to your dog’s diet, and most dogs love it! Although fresh cooked
fish is often the best, you don’t need to rush out a buy a boat and gear (although this may just be
the excuse you were waiting for!) Good quality canned local fish and seafood contain high
quality protein and offer a variety of other nutritional benefits, including Omega-3 fatty acids,
making fish a valuable addition to your dog’s diet.
Let me clarify my definition of fresh cooked or canned fish. I am referring to “whole fish”, that
is, human quality food that you and I can eat, not the fish meal, parts, fish by products, or fish
digest commonly found in commercial canned and dry pet foods. My two Goldens, Abbey and
Maya, absolutely love their fishy muffins made with local canned salmon. They also enjoy
healthy and nutritious tuna training treats, which are a snap to make. (You can contact me directly if you wish either of these recipes.) When purchasing fish for your dog (or yourself!),
always choose wild stock, not farmed. The question is, how do you determine which species are
safe to feed or eat yourself? What about mercury levels that are found in fish and seafood? Research demonstrates that nearly all fish and shellfish contain traces of mercury.
Mercury occurs naturally in our environment, in a variety of forms and levels of toxicity. It
can be released into the air through industrial pollution, including, pulp and paper processing
and mining. Waste from the burning of garbage and fossil fuels, accumulates in bodies of water, like streams and oceans, where it is turned into methylmercury. This is the type of mercury
that we have to be on the lookout for, because at high enough levels, methylmercury can cause
brain and kidney damage.
Fish absorb methylmercury as they feed, and it binds to the proteins in fish tissue, so it is easy
to understand why larger fish, that have lived longer, contain the highest level of methylmercury, simply because they have had more time to store it in their bodies. In toxic amounts, mercury prevents the body’s cells from transporting glucose which can result in convulsions, anorexia, tremors, swollen gums, and behavour problems, not only in us, but in our dogs too.
Adding fresh cooked or canned fish to your dog’s diet can have all kinds of benefits, but a
word of advice . . . leave the raw fish to the experts, and instead, choose cooked or canned, for
convenience and care.
Some raw fish contain parasites, for example, raw salmon poisoning is an infectious disease
that is caused by a rickettsia that uses a parasite fluke on the salmon as a host.
It is very interesting to step back in time for a moment, and examine what our ancestors were
feeding their pets. Josephine Z. Rine, author of the 1936 publication “The Care and Feeding of
Dogs,” had this to say:
30
“Canned salmon is one of the very few foods that does not seem to pay the penalty for its can-
ning. It is relished to a greater extent than any other fish and is easily digested. Though it contains more fat than codfish, and should for that reason alone, be harder on the stomach, it will
be tolerated under any and all circumstances. Salmon and tuna are particularly attractive to
meat-jaded appetites.” She goes on to say, “Much of the glandular disturbance so evident after
distemper or any prolonged illness may be righted or at least helped by a liberal supply of fish.
Fish and meat together are the greatest of disease resisters, seeming to fortify the system
against the invasion of serious inroads.”
Even now, decades later, fish plays a very important role in our pets’ special needs diets. Dr.
Martin Goldstein, DVM, author of the best selling book, “The Nature of Animal Healing,” puts
diabetic pets on diets comprised of 50 percent complex carbohydrates (and that includes whole
grains), 25 percent chopped and steamed vegetables, and 25 percent protein, which can include
steamed fish.
Ailing pets may also benefit from Seacure, which is made from Pacific Whiting, caught in the
Pacific Northwest. The levels of mercury contained in Seacure are below the threshold of detection in mercury toxicity tests, at only 0.01 parts per million. For further information, visit
http://www.seacureforpets.com/
Canada’s Ministry of the Environment, is home to the Sport Fish Contaminant Monitoring Programme, which is the largest testing and advisory programme of its kind throughout North
America, and has been testing Ontario sport fish for more than twenty-five years. Fish have
been tested from approximately 1,700 locations in Ontario’s inland lakes and rivers, as well as
in the Great Lakes. For further information, check out www.ene.gov.on.ca/envision/guide/ and
you can always call their hotline, at 1-800-820-2716.
Another valuable resource for you and your dog is the “Got Mercury” calculator, which can
help us all to make healthy seafood choices. All you have to do is enter your dog or cat’s
weight, the seafood type, and amount of seafood to be eaten, and the mercury exposure will be
calculated for you, based on Environmental Protection Agency and Food and Drug Administration data, current to January, 2006. Visit www.gotmercury.org/
With the launch of Safe Harbour Fish, which are guaranteed to contain low levels of mercury,
California’s Pacific Seafoods Group has catapulted fish consumption safety for all our family
members, into the future. Through a relatively new scanning system, developed by San Francisco’s Micro Analytical Systems (MAS), mercury levels in fish can be attained in about forty
seconds, comparing test results to United States Food and Drug Administration data. Some
fish, such as salmon, have consistently low reported mercury levels, which is good news for all
of us. More than 1,000 pounds of seafood are tested every day. Both the Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency, provide up to date information about
the levels of mercury found in fish, so whether you are at home or on the road, safe and healthy
fish choices for you and your pets, is only a computer click or telephone call away.
31
The list below is a comprehensive guide to mercury in fish that has been commercially caught
and sold, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Data for this list,
has been compiled from two federal agencies, the Food and Drug Information agency, which
tests fish for mercury, and the Environmental Protection Agency, which determines the mercury
levels considered safe, for women of childbearing age. Fish choices marked with an asterisk,
are those whose population has been depleted, due to over fishing, or if methods used for catching the fish, has had an impact on other sea life or ocean habitats. For information about fish
you catch yourself, check advisories for your province or state.
The categories on this list are determined according to the following mercury levels in the flesh
of tested fish:
*
Highest Mercury: More than 0.55 parts per million
*
High Mercury: From 0.26 to 0.55 parts per million
*
Lower Mercury: From 0.12 to 0.25 parts per million
*
Lowest Mercury: Less than 0.12 parts per million

LOC Booster at Georgina Kennel and Obedience Club Show
On November 9,2008 the LOC held a Booster at the Georgina Kennel and Obedience Club
show. Club members really showed their support by having 40 out of the 44 conformation entries and by sponsoring classes in conformation and obedience.
Judge Harry Tast from Finland put the dogs through their paces – he even asked for the ring to
be opened up for the Breed judging so he could watch the dogs move. After the judging, I commented to him that there are some very well known breeders of quality Labradors in Finland he
agreed then went on to say that he was very impressed with the quality of the Labs in his ring
that day.
The LOC also sponsored an Optigen Clinic the day of the Booster. It was well attended and
thanks to LOC members Angela Tyrell and Robin Lee things ran like clockwork.

Dogs with Jobs
Submitted by Christina Bunn, Snohomish County Volunteer Search and
Rescue in Washington State
Since I was quite young, the Labrador retriever has
been my favorite breed. In 2000 I purchased a black,
female Labrador that needed a new career. She has
since been a successful narcotics detection dog, and
also a successful Search and Rescue K9. Out of her
second litter I kept a yellow, female, and named her
Springfield. Springfield’s grandsire on dad’s side is
FC AFC Dare To Dream and her great grandsire on
mom’s side is FC AFC Midnight Code Breaker, with
a ton of other great stuff all throughout her pedigree.
She was one of only two female puppies out of
eleven, and she was my pick of the litter.
I could write a novel on why the Labrador is the dog for me. I love floppy ears, and sweet
brown eyes, they both melt my heart. On a professional level, they are the breed for me for several reasons. They are very biddable, they actual want to figure out what you what. My German
Shepherd Dog looks at me and says, “Explain to me why I should do this for you and I will give
it some thought.” My Labs look at me and say, “Oh boy, sounds like fun, let’s go, let’s go, do it
again, do it again!” A well bred Labrador has a fantastic nose and natural instinct to hunt,
which is what detection work is all about. Labs love to play, so these guys are easy to train to
associate a toy with the odor you want them to find, be it human, narcotics, etc. Their sweet
faces, soft eyes, and floppy ears exude friendship, so they a non-threatening presence within the
community. Labradors are rugged and hardy. They can handle the Pacific Northwestern terrain
and climate. Oh, and did I mention those soft brown eyes and floppy ears?
From the time Springfield was a young puppy she was taken everywhere and met all types of
people. She played with her toy in different environments, and on different surfaces. She played
around a lot of distractions as well. Spring was going to be a scent discriminating trailing K9.
This is the dog you see in the movies smell a lost person’s clothing and run off and find them.
So, around 5 months of age Spring started doing what we call runoffs. I would put her harness
on her, attach a long line, a person would get her all excited, drop a piece of clothing of theirs
on the ground, and run off and duck out of view. Using her nose on the ground, because we are
working with the wind, Spring would locate her person and get to play, and play and play with
them. Over the course of two years the training progressed to certification where Spring was
brought to a location where the person was last seen, asked to smell an item, touch only by that
person, and follow that persons scent on the ground where they walked 24 to 30 hours earlier.
The surfaces varied from grass to gravel, asphalt to dirt. It will encompassed quiet walking
trails and busy urban streets, there were at least 6 turns in the trail, and Spring had to play, and
play and play with them. Over the course of two years the training progressed to certification
where Spring was brought to a location where the person was last seen, asked to smell an item,
touch only by that person, and follow that person’s scent on the ground where they walked 24
to 30 hours earlier.
34
The surfaces varied from grass to gravel, asphalt to dirt. It encompassed quiet walking trails and
busy urban streets, there were at least 6 turns in the trail, and Spring had to identify the correct
person (out of at least two) at the end by sitting next to them. Hundreds of hours went into her
training and it paid off.
K9 Springfield and I are members of Snohomish County Volunteer Search and Rescue
in state of Washington. We have Department of Emergency management numbers,
which means we have insurance coverage
through the state of Washington in case we
are injured or cause injury to another. We
are deployed or utilized by the Sheriff’s Office in the county of Snohomish. I wear a
pager and a cell phone most of the time, and
that is how the commanders contact us and
request our assistance. Most often I receive
a phone call. Frequently, it is in the middle
of the night after a long, busy day. I write
down the address where I need to go, and a brief description of the person I will be looking for
with my dog. By this time, Spring is alert and with those soft brown eyes is asking, “What’s
up?” I dress and ready my gear, I check the Thomas Guide map, and head out the door, Spring
is rearing and ready to go. A lot of the time I then receive a call that the person has been found
and I reverse procedure and go back to bed. In the case where we are able to arrive on scene,
my first job is to interview the lost person’s family and obtain a scent article. Once I have my
scent article I get Spring out of the vehicle and air her. Then I put on her harness and attach her
long line to her flat collar. I allow her to walk around and acclimate to all the smells around her.
Then I attach her long line to her harness and ask her to smell the bagged scent article, and say.
“Where’d they go????” Often we work for hours and then head home, because the person was
either never there to begin with or they took a bus or got in a car and are many miles away. Often our job is to tell the commanders, “Nope, they are not around here.”
Most interesting jobs we have done, some might
ask. Well, most of them actually. Each mission
is a learning experience, and honestly never
what you have trained countless hours for…
more often than not, you just can’t replicate real
life searches, no matter how hard you try.
Dogs are not our whole lives, but they sure help
to make our lives whole. I love that saying, and
it especially applies to working with Labrador
retrievers. They are so ling to please, so happy
to be alive, and those incredible floppy ears, and
soft brown eyes!!!!!!! I will always have a Lab
they are the epitome of dogdom, EVERY35

Doggy words of wisdom
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.
Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure Ecstasy..
Take naps.
Stretch before rising.
Run, romp, and play daily.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Be loyal.
Never pretend to be something you're not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by,
and nuzzle them gently.
ENJOY EVERY
MOMENT OF
EVERY DAY!

Letters to the Editor:
In order to elicited increased member response to the newsletter, we thought
that in each issue we would ask the members their views on a topic of interest. In the last issue we asked this question of the membership
Do you feel that the medical advancements available for today's breeder such as
AI, Frozen Semen, elective C-sections (non emergency but for convenience of
the breeder), is hindering our dogs ability to reproduce safely, naturally
and this will have a long term effect on the quality and diversity of the gene pool
in Labradors?
Member Feedback:
0
Feedback as solicited from the LabA List:
We still do our breedings naturally, and expect our bitches to whelp naturally. Frozen semen
etc. has made it possible to breed to dogs thousands of miles away without shipping/taking the
bitch, but unfortunately the bitch owner may be breeding on the basis of having seen the dog in
pictures or heard what he has done in the ring/field. In field trial circles people tend to watch a
dog in training, at trials, etc., and even wait to see the offspring at trials, before committing to
breeding to him. The show dogs that usually get the most use are the ones being campaigned
for top dog, BIS winners, and Specialty winners. Because a dog can win at shows does not
make him a top producing dog. The more we interfere, the more likely we are to have dogs
that have trouble breeding, have trouble whelping naturally, will not breed naturally. Mother
nature has her own way of natural selection…
Sandy Briggs—Wimberway
I do think that we should consider poor/lazy whelping in a bitch when keeping offspring. As far
as males go, frozen/chilled semen serves a good purpose but I think a good naturally breeding
male is very valuable. Also I have had experience of refusing a stud service to a bitch of poor
temperament only to find out later that the owner just got on the phone and had chilled semen
sent from some other dog instead. That is extremely worrisome I think.
Anne Morrison—Caorunn
Thanks for the feedback …...

Dr. Robert V. Hutchison Seminar on Canine Reproduction
At the Ramada Inn in Dartmouth on Saturday March 1, I
attended the ALRC sponsored
seminar by Dr Hutchison (on
right beside Kim Penny).
Many thanks to the LRCC for
being a sponsor, to Eukanuba
for sponsoring and to Janice
Kivimaki for organizing the
event for the ALRC.
Dr Hutchison is a dynamic
speaker who holds the interest of his audience throughout the entire presentation.
He uses a mixture of humor, slides, personal experiences and extraordinary
knowledge about dog breeding to relay his information to the breeders present.
There were 119 people who paid for the seminar and I identified 12 Labrador
breeders. More were hoped for, but the February weather likely held them back.
Some topics covered were: Prostatic disease, motility in semen, shipping semen,
Estrous Postponement and the benefits of a bitch missing heats, Pyometritis how to recognize and treat it, freezing semen and how it is a better use of genetics, line breeding and inbreeding.
Breeding times and progesterone testing were also discussed at length.
If you have the opportunity
this seminar is a valuable
learning experience,
I
would highly recommend.
