Presidents Report– John De Lucia

This is now the second edition of the Shepherd

News produced via our club website.

Judging by the feedback received, the first

edition was well received and whilst I

understand that it does take a little getting

used to, the quality of the News, ease of

production by the Editor and production costs,

certainly have helped the club. We could not have asked for a better day in

terms of the weather for the 50th Anniversary

of the Annual Balmead Shield Trial. Whilst we

did not retain the shield, well done to our club

members who represented the competing

team and thank you to the trainers for their

efforts. The day was made special due to the

dedication shown by club members in offering

their help and assistance on the day and on

behalf of the club, I thank you all. The Royal Adelaide Show has been and gone

for another year with the German Shepherds

competing on Wednesday 10 September. I

was able to attend on this day and can safely

say that the small contingent of members who

competed had an enjoyable day. The Show can

be a little draining in terms of having to be

„benched‟ all day however, it is good for

members of the public to see the breed being

showcased.

2015 GSD NATIONAL SHOW AND TRIAL– PLANNING AHEAD

Spring is upon s and so is the warmer weather, I am certainly enjoying

more time outside with the dogs. I have also been busy clearing up to avoid

providing hiding spot for snakes. There are some great pages on Facebook–

I have found that they provide some useful information about things to look

out for, here is a link as an example-

“But how could you part with him? Poor dog, don‟t you love him?” The idea of rehoming a beloved puppy or dog seems incomprehensible to most people. We have it drilled into us that a dog is a

commitment not to be taken lightly, they‟re not disposable items and „A dog is for life, not just Christmas‟. However, rehoming dogs

is one of the least enjoyable, yet necessary part of being a breeder or show exhibitor.

Does this mean that breeders and exhibitors don‟t love their dogs? Absolutely not. Puppies retained for the purpose of showing

and future breeding are raised with as much love and care as those puppies placed in pet homes. These puppies are usually highly

socialised with dogs and people as they are taken to dog club from a young age, are well handled from time spent show training and

being exhibited and also well accustomed to travelling. An abundance of time, money and energy is put in to having a litter and much

hope is placed on the little puppy that stays as the future of the bloodlines. At times however, things don‟t work out as planned. There are limited attributes that you can be sure of in an 8 week old puppy

and the vision then does not always equate to what you get in an adult dog. During the earlier stages of puppy hood, disqualifying

faults (for both showing and breeding) such as missing teeth and ear issues (soft ears which don‟t stand, or are not firm enough) can

pop up. Hip and elbow x-rays can‟t be taken until the dog has done the critical part of its growing so are done after 12 months of

age. Our scheme for hips and elbows is very strict and for good reason, we have done much to improve the health of our breed in

this area. The majority of the dogs who are x-rayed and scored do pass, but on occasion there are dogs whose scores, whilst not

detrimental to the dog in any way, will not be low enough for future breeding. Height is another factor which is largely unknown

until the dog is around the 12 month of age mark. It may seem strange that a few centimetres over or under the ideal set out in the

breed standard can be so important, but the breed standard is the blueprint for the German Shepherd and what we aim for when

breeding.

After being shown through puppyhood, passing x-rays and being breed surveyed, the next step for dogs retained by breeders is

producing a litter. In most cases dogs are around 2 years old age when they are bred from. For the most part, this is a straight

forward process however dogs can also suffer from issues with fertility, birthing (resulting in caesareans) and at times poor

mothering skills which can deem them unsuitable for future breeding. Dogs of around 3 or 4 years old, who have completed their

role of producing a litter or two for their breeders, are sometimes rehomed. As German Shepherd dogs are often slow maturing, these dogs are still young at heart and playful with plenty of years of love and companionship to offer to a family. Often breeders

breed a litter with the goal of producing a puppy to continue on with as the next generation, and if such a puppy is born in a bitch‟s

first litter, she may not be bred again.

It‟s also import to acknowledge influences from other sources when the decision is made to rehome a puppy or dog. It could be as

simple as the breeder having bred a better quality puppy from the same mother in her next litter. Sometimes despite having a really

promising puppy, external factors such as problems with the bloodlines showing up in littermates or dogs from similar breeding,

means that it is no longer wise to continue with that puppy. There are dogs who do not enjoy living in a multi-dog household or the

hustle and bustle of travelling and being in the show ring (the same can be true for competition obedience or dog sports) – being

forced into activities or a lifestyle that doesn‟t suit makes for an unhappy dog and owner. If the decision is made to part with a dog or puppy, it is done so with the dog‟s best interests in mind. It would be lovely if these

dogs that haven‟t made the grade for whatever reason could all stay with their breeder/owner as a pet, but in reality it‟s not that

simple. Breeders generally have multi dog households consisting of up and coming youngsters, show dogs and breeding dogs and

more often than not, a retired and much treasured oldie or two. These dogs are all pet dogs in addition to their other roles in the

kennels and a routine of training, fitness, travel etc is planned around them. A dog who doesn‟t have a role can often get left behind due to time constraints and the logistics of being able to fit only a limited

number of dogs in the house, car, bed! etc. In this situation it‟s far better for the dog to be placed in a household with its very own

family where it can receive more attention and be included. The reality of a dog left at home in a run on its own is a far sadder

thought than having to part with them. No one likes saying goodbye to their friend, even breeders who have been doing it for years.

It‟s especially hard when it‟s a puppy you have raised yourself, who has been yours its entire life. It‟s not easy. When you have found

a home that is just right for the dog, where you know in your heart they will be well cared for and happy, and you know it is in their

best interests not your selfish own, you can get through it. What does the dog think about all this? In this situation it‟s important to remember that dogs are not furry four footed humans like

we sometimes think of them, they are dogs and they are not capable of the same thought processes that we are. They do not think

they have been abandoned, or wonder what they have done wrong or think they are unloved. They don‟t think that way. Dogs live

in the moment, and while initially they will be confused about their new surroundings and the new people in their lives, before too

long, with kindness, encouragement (and food!) they will adjust and be happy in their new environment.

Remember, our greatest consideration should always be what is best for the puppy/dog!

Sia

Sia was bred by us and we had great fun showing her for 18 months – her big personality meant she was always entertaining! She

was rehomed to Jason and his family in Bannockburn just before her 2nd birthday as we decided not to continue on with that partic-

ular bloodline (though through no fault with Sia herself) Her playful nature suggested to me that she would enjoy a family with chil-

dren and this has proven very true

Sia competing in the show ring, handled by Hayley in 2012

Sia in 2014 at home with Cooper

From Jason;

It was important to first meet Sia with Vanessa and Hayley to see her personality. Even though Sia was extremely playful I was

comfortable that she would adapt to family life with 2 kids. The most invaluable part of the process was Sia being delivered to

our home by Vanessa and Hayley as they bought some items that Sia loved. I feel that this made Sia more comfortable with the

idea of moving into a new family. Sia only took a short while to get use to our 3 and 6 year old kids and now the kids adore her

as well as going to the local GSD club in Geelong and doing obedience as well as being asked to be involved in the demo for the

club on 2 occasions. All in all it was an extremely smooth process thanks to the advice and ideas of Vanessa and Hayley with the

key being asking as many questions as possible to get the best outcome for all. I would highly recommend taking on a rehomed

dog from a breeder.

Termi Termi was one of my favourite puppies, very easy to live with and very hard to part with. She was my shadow and constant com-

panion at home; however she did not enjoy the show ring or social trips out. As I spend a lot of time travelling and out at train-

ing with my dogs, this meant in fairness to Termi our lifestyles were not compatible. Termi was 3 years old when she went to

live with Anne and Stephen in Apollo Bay, and they allowed her to come back for a litter in 2012 before she was spayed. Having

someone home at most times, as well as being spoilt rotten, means she‟s now immensely happy with her new life.

Termi with her puppies in 2012 Termi with Bella at her new home in 2013

From Anne; After we lost our male GSD, we were incredibly lucky to be offered Termi, a 3yo bitch, who had had 1 litter and is the 1/2 sister

of our ratbag Bella. Termi came for a visit first and quickly reconnected with Bella and proceeded to win our hearts - saying

goodbye to her that day was very hard and I didn't think my husband was going to let her go. A few weeks later, when Termi

came for good, she was a little confused when Vanessa left without her, but settled in very quickly and was happily playing, eating

and sleeping that day. The joy of homing an older dog is easy to express - even though you have missed out on the floppy ears

and small enough to (easily) pop on your lap, you have also missed the chewing, crate training, house training stages and you can

easily assess the character of the dog. As we both work full time, a puppy was not an option, but as Termi was so well trained

and her nature already formed and clear for all to see, she was a very easy and amazing addition to our family. She calms Bella

down, she plays like a mad thing and gives so much love to us - she also clearly remembers Vanessa and Hayley when they visit,

but knows that this is her home and no longer wants to go back in the car with them. A fantastic outcome for us and for Termi -

would I do it again? In a heartbeat!

GROUND RULES

These rules apply to all handlers during training sessions and have been formulated for

the welfare of you and your dog. Any Club member, or any person guilty of unseemly conduct or acts harmful to the club, may be asked to leave the Training area. They may also be dealt with by the Committee of

The GSDC of S A Inc. under clause 6, and relative by-laws of the Clubs Constitution.

Any dog which is sick WILL NOT be permitted onto the Club grounds. Dogs who have suffered a CONTAGIOUS DISEASE WILL NOT be allowed on to the grounds until 5 weeks after being cleared by a veterinarian (a vets certificate may be re-quired). Puppies should not be brought out onto the Club grounds under the age of 8 weeks or at least 2 weeks after they have been inoculated for HEPATITIS, DISTEMPER

AND PARVOVIRUS ( vaccination certificate may be required).

Bitches in season are not permitted on the grounds unless at a recognised Club event. The use of switches, spiked collars or whips is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN ON THE CLUB

GROUNDS.

Members shall not treat their dog in a manner which may reflect badly on the Club. Dogs are NOT to be taken off-lead or left unattended, except on the directives, or under the

supervision of a Class Instructor. The handlers of dogs which foul the Club grounds, will be responsible for cleaning up

same, with the equipment provided. The Head Instructor has the authority to permit the use of a muzzle or training devices, as required in special cases. The use of the equipment is to be under supervision, and its use

on the grounds, other than above, is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. Dogs under the age of 12 months ARE NOT permitted to use jump equipment higher than

400 mm, or longer than 800 mm. Pursuant of the Health act "Dogs" ARE NOT permitted inside the Clubrooms. In the interest of safety and health, and in consideration of others, parents are required to super-vise the behaviour of their children. The Clubrooms and Toilets MUST NOT be used

as playing areas. In the interests of public health the Clubrooms and the verandah area are NON-SMOKING

areas. TRAINING HEAT POLICY If the forecast temperature is predicted to be 38 degrees or above on channel 9 weather at 6pm the night before training, (Wednesday nights or Sun-

day’s), all training will be cancelled. Appropriate foot wear must be worn at ALL times when handling / double handling dogs on the Club grounds. Bare feet, thongs, slip on shoes, high heels, sandals or crocs are not suitable foot wear and members wearing any of the above will be asked to leave the

training area. THANK YOU! BE PROUD OF YOUR DOG, HE IS VERY PROUD OF

YOU! THE COMMITTEE
