THE PREZ SEZ…….
I found this poem by Arvie Calimlim, enjoy  Its spring its spring
Oh I just can’t wait
To find fruits on the vases
And flowers on my plate
I want to hear the warm sun
And feel the robin singing
Watch the scent of the flowers
And smell the butterflies flying
Its spring its spring
I’m so full of glee
For the people will bloom
And the flowers will be happy
The gray fields shall be covered
With the magic of the meadow
And the brown sky shall be painted
With the blossoms of the rainbow
Its spring its spring
How can I be blue?
For it is the time of spring
And only the spring brings you Jim Howey

Big Dog Corner
Welcome to our first Big Dog Corner filled with tips and info for the Big Dog Owner.
I would like to start off by introducing myself Janet Lampe RVT, born and raised with
Giant Breeds, 1st and last job and most in between has been working for a veterinarian. I feel as
Big Dog owners, we all have great ideas to share to make life with a Big Dog less expensive and
easier...My hope is for us to learn from each other how our gentle giants experiences have shaped
us from years ago to today.
Recommended by a Great Dane breeder to me was Dr Karen Becker, A Holistic Wellness Pet Site
for Healthy Pets. This site has some real helpful information for all pets from dogs, cats, birds to
reptiles..very useful.. mercole.com
At Costco I have found to have the best dog bed at the best price, but what I do to make the bed
last longer and more comfy is to go to Walmart — buy memory foam for a twin bed cut it in half
and fit it into the square dog bed and now the bed does not flatten out after a month or two. I also
have made a double decker dog bed which is 2 dog beds on top of each other each
with memory foam in each bed. Funny thing is, this is the bed each dog will run and grab
1st!
With Spring here and Summer around the corner, the rise of skin cancer is on the upswing ..For all
the pink skin animals sunblock is a very needed item. Working at the Animal Dermatology Clinic for
the past 25 years, we have recommend using sunscreen or zinc-oxide on any pink skin areas
ears, nose, tummy,and yes.. testicles when in the sun. I like using a stick oil free SPF 50+ on my
Chinese Crested Powder Puff’s, Jack, pink nose. Also remember the white cats who like to
sunbathe by a window!
As always use good judgment in the health and welfare of your big dog. Remember to consult your
regular vet when you have questions or concerns!
Quote for the day: "Things that upset a terrier may pass virtually unnoticed by the Great Dane." Smiley BlantonSo I encourage everyone to send in ideas to share to me at [email protected] . Tell us
what makes life living with a big dog as easy as it seems... since we do it so well!!

BOARD MEETING
January 9, 2013
The meeting was called to order at 7:03 p.m. by the President, Jim Howey. The following Officers and Directors were in
attendance: Jim Howey, Mindy Donovan-Tandy, Cathy Schaefer, Carole Horton, Bruce Powell, Susie Powell, Pat
Schempp, Glen Garza, Bob Tonnancour and Dick Schaefer. Linda Tonnancour and Suzzane Kelleher-Duckett were
absent.
RECORDING SECRETARY’S REPORT: The minutes of the previous meetings were accepted as published and as
read.
CORRESPONDING SECRETARY’S REPORT: None
TREASURER’S REPORT: Carole reported on the November and December, 2012 balances. The December balance
was read as $11,373.95. At this time President Howey notified the Board that he would be asking Bob Caswell to give
us a quote for our Club insurance policy. He will keep the Board informed as to the outcome. Pat Schempp asked if the
Club’s involvement with Pet Expo would be included in the policy.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
PUPPY MATCH: Match chair, Linda Tonnancour, has selected Saturday, April 13th for our Club Puppy Match. It will be
held at Yorba Regional Park in Anaheim. The cost for this facility is less than at Arcadia Park; however, there is an
entrance fee of $5.00 per car. A discussion was held concerning our selection of a certified CGC judge. Both Judy
Murdock and Bobby Ernst are Club members who are qualified.
SPECIALTIES: We are still in need of a Show Chair for this year’s Specialties. Until one is appointed, Bruce will
continue meeting whatever deadlines come up. In order to save the imposing cost of reserving the motor home parking
lot, we will instead make it clear to those bringing their RVs that early morning arrival on the Friday before the Specialty
will be the best way to secure parking as we have had it before. Space will still need to be reserved through the Club,
and we will still have a fee to be paid to the park office per motor home as we have had in the past. The only difference
is that the entire space will not be rented for Friday. We are looking to have a barbeque dinner on Saturday, and
possibly an auction as we had 2 years ago. Look for further updates in upcoming Bulletins.
JULY PICNIC: The Powells and the Schaefers have volunteered to chair the picnic again this year. If you are willing to
help, please let them know.
ANNUAL AWARDS/CHRISTMAS PARTY: The Tonnancours and the Schaefers will chair this event, which will be held
once again at the Pomona Valley Mining Company.
CLUB AWARDS: The Board reviewed the Grand Champion Award, and voted to present this award only to the owner
of the Grand Champion. The Board also voted to increase the size and importance of the top awards – Top Great Dane,
Top Dog & Top Bitch, as well as the Kay Kinosita award.
BULLETIN: Mindy is currently working on the new Bulletin. The web site has our current awards info. The membership
roster has been sent to the AKC.

BOARD MEETING (cont’d)
January 9, 2013
PET EXPO: Pat Schempp informed the Board that there will not be a “Fido Friday” at the April 19, 20, 21 Pet Expo.
These dates once again conflict with the City of Industry shows.
BY-LAWS: Cathy presented the newest suggested changes for discussion by the Board. Once again, the membership
is reminded that no changes can be made without publication in the Bulletin and a vote by the general membership.
RESCUE REPORT COMMITTEE: Susie Powell proposes a page in the Bulletin be dedicated to encouraging reports
about Rescue to be shared with the membership.
OLD BUSINESS: None
NEW BUSINESS: None.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:35 p.m.

December 29, 2012
The Pomona Mining Company Restaurant, Pomona, CA
Our annual Awards/Christmas Party was called to order by the President, Jim Howey at 12:50 p.m., following a lovely
brunch. There were 32 members and 12 guests in attendance.
After asking the guests to introduce themselves, the President asked for a vote to table the remainder of the business
until the next meeting. The motion passed.
Cathy Schaefer gave a brief history of the Club’s prestigious Kay Kinosita Award, which is only presented when a
nomination has been presented on behalf of a member or members who have shown extraordinary dedication to the
Breed and/or the Club. The members present all gave a rousing round of applause to Bruce and Susie Powell, who
were chosen for the honor this year.
Jim then introduced Mindy Donovan-Tandy, who handled the presentation of awards with patience and good humor.
Great job, Mindy. The list of awards will be mentioned in the Bulletin.
There being no further business, the meeting was then adjourned.

This is article is from web-site: http://www.workingdogs.com/deboer_heatstroke.htm Description of what is heat stroke and how it should be prevented or treated.
In my experience as a veterinarian and as a working dog trainer and handler, I have attended to far more cases of heat
stroke in the spring or fall than I have during the summer months. Most people are conscious of the risks and
predisposing causes of heat stroke in the summer and take appropriate precautions. Many people, however, drop their
guard during other seasons, which can lead to a possible disaster. Heat stroke is most likely to occur when we are less
conscientious about how heat, muscular exertion and confinement can affect our dogs.
Heat stroke occurs when the dog's ability to regulate its body temperature is lost. A dog regulates body temperature
primarily through respiration. When the respiratory tract cannot evacuate heat quickly enough, the body temperature
rises. Normal body temperature is less than 103F, but once the temperature goes over 105F a number of physiologic
events can occur that make it even more difficult for the animal to regain control of its temperature. At this time, oxygen
delivery to the system cannot keep up with rapidly elevating demand. If the temperature exceeds 108F, cellular
damage starts to occur in a number of organ systems including the kidneys, liver, gastrointestinal tract, heart and brain.
The extent of the cellular damage depends on the magnitude and the duration of the temperature elevation. Clearly,
this can be a life-threatening situation, but for those animals that survive there is the possibility of long term problems
after the occurrence.
There are a number of predisposing factors for heat stroke. Some of the most significant are listed here.
 * Heat
 * Humidity
 * Muscular activity
 * High body mass
 * Anxiety
 * Poor ventilation
 * Dehydration
 * Obesity
 * Antihistamines
 * Phenothiazines (some medications for vomiting)
 * Brachycephalic breeds (short-nosed breeds)
 * Increased age
Dogs experiencing heat stroke will have a muddy pink color of their gums instead of the nice red-pink color that
normally exists. Their heart rate will be dramatically elevated, and they will be panting furiously. They tend to stand or
walk very slowly without regard to where they are. Some will lay on their sternum. Most dogs will have a wild or
panicked expression and are not particularly aware of their environment. Any combination of these symptoms should
have an owner scrambling for a rectal thermometer and taking those steps necessary to help drive the temperature
back down. If a thermometer is not available, presume it to be heat stroke and initiate treatment. If the animal does not
respond favorably, the diagnosis can be reevaluated later. Significantly delaying the treatment of heat stroke can
dramatically increase the risk of long-term consequences or death.
This is article is from web-site: http://www.workingdogs.com/deboer_heatstroke.htm Description of what is heat stroke and how it should be prevented or treated.
Heat stroke is an emergency that requires veterinary assistance, but you can effectively initiate treatment in most
cases before heading for the veterinary hospital. You must aggressively assist the dog's efforts to lower body
temperature with the use of water and air. Since the lungs cannot keep up with the heat buildup, we now have to cool
the skin and associated blood vessels so the body's temperature will decrease. Submersion of the dog in cool water
will start to bring the temperature down quickly. You will want to avoid extremely cold water or ice since they cause the
blood vessels in the skin to constrict and will not allow for a meaningful heat exchange. If there isn't anything available
to submerse the dog in, you can start wetting him down with a hose. Wet him down all over, but let the water run
continuously in the groin area since there are large numbers of significant and relatively superficial blood vessels in
that area that will allow for more rapid cooling of the blood. The dog should be in a well-ventilated, shady area to allow
for evaporation of the water. Evaporation cools body temperatures very effectively. When you are transporting him to
the veterinary hospital, keep the air conditioner on or the windows open, or use the back of a truck to increase
evaporation. Do not use an enclosed style crate since it allows for very little evaporation or fresh cool air for the lungs.
Do not cover the dog with a wet towel as it will prevent evaporation.
Once the temperature starts dropping, you should seek veterinary assistance. It is advisable in most cases to start
these animals on intravenous fluids and monitor kidney and liver function for at least several days. The necessity for
this laboratory work depends on the magnitude and the duration of the elevated temperature, but even in relatively
short mild occurrences, it is a wise precaution to take.
Obviously prevention of heat stroke is a far better alternative than treatment. Everyone is aware of the risks of having a
dog in a vehicle in the summer, but there are some less obvious risk factors that we all need to be aware of. Even
moderate environmental temperatures can be very significant when there is little or no ventilation. Heavy muscular
activity drives body temperatures up with alarming speed. Following intervals of high activity, return the dog to an air
conditioned vehicle, or wet the dog down and go to an area that is shaded and preferably breezy to allow for
evaporation. Do not wet the dog down and return it to an enclosed style crate, as you will be creating a steam bath like
environment. Make sure there is access to reasonable volumes of cool fresh water both before and after activity. We
also need to be conscious of those animals that are at increased risk, which would include those dogs that have high
body mass, older dogs, and those that are carrying more weight than is normal for them. Being aware of the various
risk factors as well as the environmental considerations should help all of us avoid this potentially devastating problem.
Dr. Henry De Boer Jr. practices veterinary medicine at his Pioneer Valley Veterinary Hospital in western Massachusetts.
Following his 1973 graduation from Cornell University, Dr. Henry De Boer established Pioneer Valley Veterinary Hospital, based
in western Massachusetts. His involvement with working dogs dates to the mid 1960’s when he began training and handling
hunting dogs. In 1984 he became involved with the sport of Schutzhund and has gradually risen to the level of national
competitor.
Through the years he has worked both in a training and veterinary capacity with a wide variety of working dogs. His
knowledge and enthusiasm for working dogs led to the establishment of Working K-9 Veterinary Consultation Services.
This service provides veterinary consultations for working canines and is available by phone, fax, or email.
