be slightly delayed as well, because I will want to
describe and feature the club’s Agility Trial
of July 23/24.
Re. a 2010 TTCC National Specialty or
Booster: it appears we will be having no
Specialty ‘in the East’ this year, but I am still
hopeful someone will come forward and organize
a Booster. I will be happy to assist Remember that
there is a requisite lead-up time imposed by
CKC for announcing such an event (4 mos?)
This may require an October or November show??!
Finally, I want to repeat what was joyfully
reported in a past issue, namely that the DNA
Test for NCL – via s simple cheek swab – is now
available for Tibetan Terriers. This
establishes if the dog is Clear, a Carrier or
Affected and is a hugely important breakthrough.
It is most relevant for breeders, who can now
take care not to breed a Carrier to a Carrier, and
eventually this disease will be eradicated from TTs.
It is not merely useful for bitches or males who are
current candidates for breeding. Many people,
including myself, have tested many dogs – even
deceased dogs if a blood sample had been
sent to the research program’s blood bank years ago –
for the exquisite peace of mind when the report comes
back ‘CLEAR’ and the breeder can tell the families
of the dog’s offspring that THEIR TT will NOT ever
contract this disease.
This is an exciting scientific testing activity
being undertaken all over the world. Puppy buyers
will learn to ensure the parents have had their NCL
test.
(along with hips and eyes)
The Orthopaedic Foundation of America (OFA)
is providing the testing. (www.offa.org)

President’s Words Spring 2010
Hello Club Members. I am devoting most of my space this issue to the on-going crisis with the
CKC which affects all of us as Pure Bred Dog owners.
As many of you will know the CKC has found itself in deep financial trouble. About a month
ago they sent out an urgent plea for Clubs and individuals to send them donations or risk losing the organization and the service it provides. At first I was inclined to ask the club to contribute towards easing
the “crisis”. However as more information came in from many sources and as I monitored the discussion tearing up the show circuit and internet, my opinion changed.
The problems began with CKC finances when they moved to the new headquarters in Toronto.
The monthly rental and long term of the lease are very costly. It is possible that in better times the
CKC’s revenues might have carried them but litter registrations are way down and Show entries, Conformation and Dog sports, have also declined rapidly. A new facility deal had been considered briefly to
move the headquarters to Guelph ON in association with the Guelph Veterinary College. This would
have resulted in a huge saving and would seem to be a natural fit. That deal was quashed apparently
because the chief employees did not want to move with their jobs. The CEO makes, in the opinion of
many, an excessive salary and has a very generous pension plan. The in-house printing company has
been a money loser since they obtained it with no prospect of ever making a profit. An offer was made
by another publication to do the Dogs in Canada publication –at least most of it- for the CKC at a much
reduced cost and the CKC did not deign to reply.
Those of you who participate in Shows and Trials will have noticed the trend to lower entry
numbers although there are exceptions. Some Clubs are considering dropping shows this year and next
after discouraging entry numbers for the current year. Shows cannot operate at a loss, most clubs have
only a small reservoir of funds and a loss of one or two thousand dollars will end their participation in
providing a competition. This of course will further exacerbate the CKC’s difficulties with the corresponding loss of entry fees payable to them.
The CKC is responsible for the Registry of purebred dogs under the direction of Agriculture
Canada. They also licence Clubs, trials, events, shows, judges and track awards etc. If the CKC is allowed to go into Receivership or go bankrupt a new CEO will be appointed and all contracts and leases
will be voided or renegotiated. Any money donated now will be lost. It is possible a reorganized CKC
might merit a donation when a workable plan is in place but not at the moment. The actual work of the
CKC would go on, likely under a new fiscally responsible management. Any donation at this time
would only encourage past practises and ultimately be lost. This briefly is my understanding of the facts
and events surrounding the CKC debacle.
On a more cheerful note I am pleased to welcome new members to our club. I hope you find the
association a pleasant and useful one. Don’t be shy about introducing yourselves to us through your
Newsletter, we’d love to get to know you and your dogs.
Respectfully,
Glenn Connell

TTCC 2010 AGILITY TRIAL
This is a reminder that on the weekend of July 23/24 the Tibetan Terrier Club will host an All-Breed CKC
Agility trial, at Dream Fields Trainng Centre just west of Ottawa.
‘Our’ trial this year will differ from the last three in that it will be OUTDOOR, with two rings and two judges
operating simultaneously. Yes, one hopes for good weather, but the huge benefit is that spectators will be welcomed, with lots of space on the extensive Dream Fields grass. It will be a colourful and interesting spectacle,
offering constant activity to watch and enjoy.
Several TTs are expected to compete. This trial will present a large commitment for the chairperson (Penny),
and her helpers will be Majka & Hynek Broulik. Penny and Majka will also be running their dogs, making those
days very, very busy. It is hoped a few other TTCC volunteers will come forward and offer assistance. Remember, this is an exciting, entertaining sport with which to be associated, even as a worker bee!
Members who live in the Ottawa area, please make a note to yourselves to contact Penny close to the date if
you are able to come for at least part of the time and help with one of the many tasks.
This may well be Ontario’s ONLY TTCC event this year, and so we want to make it a good one…..

BOOK REVIEW
By Penny White
Title: William’s Gift – One Veterinarian ‘s Journey
Author: Dr. Helen Douglas
An anecdotal journey of self-discovery, William’s Gift tells the story of one woman’s life as a Canadian country veterinarian with honesty and humility. Through the trials and tribulations of learning on the job, this committed caregiver masters
her skills for caring for animals great amd small. Tale after tale of interesting, often humorous and often heart-wrenching
experiences illuminate the deeply emotional connection between the animal patients and the author.
Running through these stories is the common thread of compassion for the special creatures with whom we share our
lives. Dr. Douglas’ career path is a winding road with twists and turns that must be negotiated, and which leads from rural
farm challenges to city clinics and back again.
From the moment her adventures began, I found this book fascinating. What an insight into the extraordinary demands of
equine vet practice! I’d never considered such issues before, but I learned a great deal about medical problems of horses,
and their difficult and sometimes astonishing solutions.
This book is a good read for anyone who would enjoy an ‘inside look’ at the life of dedicated veterinarian – and an especially good read for lovers of horses, and those who may have experienced farming or large animal medical emergencies.
Canine clients abound as well, of course, and their stories seemed sometimes familiar and were always
interesting.
……………………………………………………………………………………………
There is a cycle of love and death that shapes the lives of those who choose to travel in the company of animals. It is a cycle unlike any other. To those who have never lived through its turnings or walked its rocky path, our willingness to give
our hearts with full knowledge that they will be broken seems incomprehensible. Only we know how small a price we pay
for what we receive. Our grief, no matter how powerful it may be, is an insufficient measure of the joy we have been
given.

Introduction of new TT(s)
From Catherine Shearer
Full Circle….
Twenty years ago, a lively black and tan female travelled from Linda Bell (Woodruff TTs) in Idaho to my Ottawa home. Mukhi was with us for over 16 years. In Mukhi's third litter, Cleo and Chloe (later renamed Zona)
became known as the twisted sisters. They were reunited at the TTCC specialty in Vancouver where they won
Best Brace.
Early this year, I travelled to Linda Bell (now near Denver) and brought back a white and black bitch whose
sire is Cleo's grandson.
Tilley (Woodruff's Chantilly Lace) will soon be dragging me around the ring.
(Oh, and she passed her first test – she is NCL Clear)
Tilley on the run!

New Best Friends Forever
by Karen Jacob
We are the proud owners of a nine year old TT, called Bruno. At the time that Bruno joined our household, we also had
an older Bearded Collie named Chester. Bruno was over the moon with happiness when he met Chester. It was as if we
had provided him with the largest fluffy puppy toy ever! We have many photos of Bruno lying on top of Chester and inflicting all his puppy antics on this older dog. Chester, being the ever accommodating Beardie, was a willing partner in
the many wrestling, chasing and tug of war competitions.
Sadly, we had to put Chester down after two years. Everyone in the household was heartbroken, including Bruno. The
first night without Chester, Bruno roamed the house looking for him.
While we are fans of the TTs and never want to be without one, we still love the herding dog breeds. We did our research
and when the time was right for us to get a new dog, we brought home Gracie, a Schapendoes.
The initial meeting was subdued. Bruno, in true TT style, had to analyze and process this new development in his life.
Gracie, on the other hand, was immediately smitten with this older man. For the next few weeks we watched as Gracie
did her best to entice Bruno into play. He would watch her haughtily and seemed to regard her shenanigans as well below
his level of intelligence and decorum.
We fretted. While there was no animosity, neither was there any connection. However, one frosty morning about a month
later, we let them out in the yard and watched in complete shock as a wrestling match took place, followed by a rip roaring
game of chase. From that point on, they have been inseparable.
We now understand how their friendship works. Bruno is more reserved and subtle in his way of showing affection for
her. He seeks her out, lies beside her and will initiate a game but usually waits for her to take the lead. Gracie is at the
opposite end of the spectrum. She lives life at warp speed with energy and enthusiasm that is limitless. Her inclusive nature is the catalyst for the many games that these two now enjoy.
As in any friendship, their relationship is based on mutual understanding and respect. They truly have become BFFs.
Gracie & Bruno

Valuable Health Tips for Your Pet
Anemia: Feeding your pet foods high in iron and B vitamins will help this problem. A serving of liver once a
day is sufficient: For small dogs, 3 oz. For medium dogs, 4 oz.
Animals In Heat: Your pet's affectionate (and sometimes annoying) actions are demands for attention, so give
them more than usual. The strong smell Vicks® VapoRub ointment may help keep roaming males away: rub a
little in the fur of the tail on females and above the nose on males. Keep the windows closed; a male dog can
smell a female in heat about three miles away. Get your pet spayed/neutered.
Arthritis: For overweight pets, losing weight will help lighten the load on those achy joints. A 20 minute walk
several times a day can reduce the progression of arthritis. If it's cold outside, let them sleep inside. Make sure
they are provided with soft bedding to reduce discomfort. Moist heat applied for 20 minutes twice a day can be
a great comfort.
Asthma: Keep pets with asthma free of excess weight; overweight animals have a harder time breathing. Use a
humidifier; dry air irritates the airway. If you, the owner, smokes, stop! Keep them indoors during pollen season.
Bad Breath: A foul odor coming from your pet's mouth is a sign of plaque. Prevent this by brushing your pets
teeth, feeding them a raw turkey neck or raw carrots; don't feed them canned food or table scraps, and get them
a rope to play with. Your vet can also thoroughly clean your pet's teeth.
Broken Bones: Immobilize your pet while holding him still and place him on a board, car floor mat, or a folded
blanket. Do not attempt to bandage or splint broken limbs as you can cause more damage. Take your pet to the
vet immediately.
Car Sickness: Most animals travel best on an empty stomach, so pick up their food 6-8 hours before travel.
However, some pets prefer to have a small amount of food in their stomachs. See what works best for your animal. Other ways to reduce sickness includes allowing them to look out the windows, and cracking the windows
to allow fresh air to flow inside the vehicle.
Choking: Open your pet's mouth to see if you can visualize the object and remove it. If you are unsuccessful,
take your pet to the vet immediately. If your pet is not breathing and you can't find what's obstructing the air
passage, try the Heimlich maneuver: Hold your pet against you and clasp your hand around his upper abdomen
OR place your pet on their side, on the floor and put one of your hands on top of the other so that the bottom
hand is just below the rib cage. Push or lift upward to dislodge the object.
Diarrhea: Ensure your pet is drinking enough fluids. In addition to their water bowl, a bowl of Gatorade® will
further help. Stop feeding for 24 hours from the onset of the diarrhea. When your pet is ready to eat again, try 2
parts cooked white rice mixed with 1 part boiled hamburger or skinless white meat chicken, feeding small
amounts every 4 hours for 2 days. Slowly introduce their regular food back into the diet. If the diarrhea doesn't
subside, seek the advise of your veterinarian.
Ear Mites: You can temporarily treat the ear mites by soaking a cotton ball with mineral oil and swabbing the
ear canal. Then, seek the assistance of your veterinarian for treatment with Ivermectin.
Fever: Normal temperature of dogs ranges from 100.5 and 102.5 degrees. Sooth away the heat with a cool compress on their belly or a 10 minute cool bath. Ensure they are drinking enough water. Consult your vet, as fever
can mean serious illness and/or infection.
11
Flatulence: Exercise helps move gas out of the system, so take them for a walk. Stop feeding table scraps and
dairy foods and ensure they aren't getting into the trash. Check the soy content of your pet's food; high soy content causes gas. Many yogurts contain digestion-friendly bacteria that can help decrease flatulence. Give 1/4 tsp.
plain yogurt to cats and small dogs, 1 tsp. to dogs 15-20 pounds, and 1 Tbls. to large dogs. Raise their food dish
to eliminate air digested while eating.
Fleas: Though a preventative such as Advantage® , Frontline® , Revolution®, or K9 Advantix® is the best way
to treat and prevent fleas, a diet including Brewer's Yeast and garlic prove to keep them away, as well. Flea collars, powders, and dips only work temporarily; don't consider them for long-term use or you'll find the fleas returning.
Getting Out Mats: Wet fur is more difficult to unmat, so keep them dry. Starting at the ends of the hairs and
working inward, divide the mat in half with your fingers. Then divide the halves into quarters, the quarters into
eighths and so on until all the clumps are gone. A light sprinkling of cornstarch makes stubborn mats easier to
pull apart. For a particularly tough mat, clip the mat in half with scissors.
Hairballs: First try a commercial hairball lubricant or a tsp. of petroleum jelly. Sometimes, high-fiber diets accelerate the passage of hairballs. Keep fleas under control to reduce licking. Brush your cat often, then follow
with wiping the coat with a moist towel to pick up any loose hairs.
Hot Spots: Dissolve 2 adult aspirins in 1 Tbls. rubbing alcohol. Steep 1 tea bag in 1 cup warm water; discard tea
bag. Stir together aspirin mixture and tea; allow to cool. Shave hair around hot spot. Blot prepared mixture over
spot with a cotton ball. Follow with over-the-counter cortisone spray or crème. Repeat as necessary.
Insect Bites and Stings: Remove stingers, if present. Dab a mixture of baking soda and water on the spot to help
reduce discomfort. Milk of Magnesia and meat tenderizer works in the same way, as well.
Itchy Skin from Allergies: Give your pet a 10 minute cool bath to relieve itching. For further soothing, you may
also add colloidal oatmeal (Aveeno®) to the bathwater. For dogs with itchy feet, fill the tub with enough cool
water to cover their feet, dissolve a couple cups of Epsom salts in the water, and soak the dog's feet for 5-10
minutes. Be careful not to let them drink the water.
Poisoning: Call your vet immediately and have on hand the substance your pet ingested. If your pet has gotten
into pills, antifreeze, or other toxic substances (but not caustic substances) getting him to vomit will help eliminate some of the danger . If your pet has ingested something alkaline, such as cleaner or kerosene, don't induce
vomiting. Give him about 3 tsp. vinegar or lemon juice diluted in an equal amount of water. If your pet has ingested something acid, maybe from chewing on a battery, give Milk of Magnesia, 1 tsp. per 5 Lbs. of pet.
Puppy Diarrhea/Dogs with Soft Stool: Plain canned pumpkin works well for puppies with diarrhea and adult
dogs with soft stool. A few spoonfuls in their food will often stop it right away. The pumpkins adds fiber to the
diet, therefore firming up the stools. It often works more completely and more quickly than Kaopectate® if your
pet isn't ill from something else.
Reduce Anal Sac Problems: Stop feeding your pet table scraps. The fatty foods soften the stool, making the fluid
more likely to build up.
Removing Burrs: Remove burrs in your pet's coat as soon as possible. Allowing their fur to get wet makes it
worse, so keep them dry. Most burrs can be removed with your fingers or tweezers. For the more difficult ones,
soak the area in vegetable oil to help slide them out.
12
Seizures: Dogs don't swallow their tongues, so don't put your hand in their mouth. Move furniture out of the
way and try to keep the area as dark as possible. Gentle talking and stroking may help to shorten the length of
the seizure. If the seizure lasts more than 10 minutes, take your pet to the vet immediately. If this is the first time
your pet is having a seizure, take him to the vet for assessment.
Severe Bleeding: Place gauze over the wound and apply direct pressure using your hands for 5 minutes, recheck, and continue applying pressure until bleeding stops or you've reached the vet. Do not use a tourniquet, as
they are dangerous. Cold packs over oozing wounds can help reduce swelling and bleeding. Take your pet to the
vet immediately.
Skunk Spray: If your pet's eyes are watering, use an eye wash to flush out any irritating spray. Shampoo with a
mixture of 1 quart 3% Hydrogen Peroxide, 1/4 cup baking soda, and 1 Tbls. liquid dish soap. Follow with a
washing of regular pet shampoo.
Stop Bleeding from a Nail Trim: When you've cut a nail too short, stop the bleeding by pressing the nail in
styptic powder or flour, then tap the powder in.
Urinary Infections: The common human remedy of cranberry, orange, and other citrus juices also work for pets
in boosting the acidity of the urine and decreasing the amount of bacteria. A chewable vitamin C tablet a day
will increase the acidity to help prevent further infections.
Pet Urine on Carpet: First, blot up what you can with paper towels. Then, with warm, soapy water and a clean
cloth, blot the area clean; rinse with clean water; blot until dry. Next, combine 1/3 cup white vinegar with 2/3
cup water and dab it on stain; rinse with clean water; blot until dry. Once the area is totally dry (at least 24
hours), sprinkle entire carpet with baking soda or rug deodorizer; vacuum after a few hours.
Vomiting: Stop feeding your pet for 24 hours, only providing water. Afterwards, slowly introduce mild foods
back into the diet over a 3 day time period, to include boiled hamburger, boiled chicken, cooked rice, and/or cottage cheese. If the vomiting continues after the first 24 hours or if there is bloating, consult your veterinarian
immediately.

FROM SEA TO SEA
By Lynda Zittier
On our way home from the U.S. Regional Specialty Catherine and I made a side trip to Rohoboth Beach,
Delaware.
It was a fine oceanside adventure for the TTs and myself, reminiscent of our life on the West Coast, and all
those great walks along the beach.
Now KiMo , Dal , Bits and CC have dipped their feet in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans!
I wish you could have seen KiMo . At almost 14 years, he was so excited to be at the beach again that the old
boy got the zoomies! He and Dal chased each other, just like they used to when we walked at White Rock
beach in Vancouver . I was so happy to be able to watch that again . (It’s sometimes tough being a boy in an
all girl household!)
One show girl missed the photo op .... she had to stay clean and dry!
(Such coat caution was worth it, however, since Feather achieved a Major win on one of our showdays!)

When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little, but not too long,
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that once we shared,
Miss me, but let me go.
