themselves, and then walk in and judge the class. Until they enter the ring that day, they have no preconceived idea of what dogs will rise to the top. Many things enter into their decision. Condi-tioning, showmanship, style, soundness, type all of this makes a winner. Good judges prioritize such things and select the dog they think offers the most complete package.

It takes a tough hide to be a judge. The judge makes three people happy on a given day, those being the Winners Dog, Win-ners Bitch, and Best of Breed exhibitors. The rest walk away, some convinced they re-ceived fair treatment and the best dog won. Others look for an ex-cuse as to why they did not win. Few ex-hibitors analyze an entire animal in three minutes. Judges are required to do this and

A few weeks ago, I attended a writing re-treat in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. This area offers simplicity, beauty, scen-ery, and relaxation. One afternoon, walking through the pic-turesque town, we stopped by an antique and gift shop. Paying for our purchases, we saw two Norwich Terriers lounging behind the counter

As an American Kennel Club judge, I rec-ognized their quality. Delving into how they happen to appear here, I mentioned possibly showing the dogs to their American Kennel Club Championship.

They both were AKC Champions! The young couple did finish their Championships. They attempted to par-ticipate in the great sport of dogs. What I heard next was disconcerting. Their ringside experience soured them from partici-pating further.

They tell us of the ringside attitude. They share with me their feel-ings regarding remarks made by exhibitors. Feel-ing this added little value to their lives, they simply walked away from the sport.

Sadly, the cama-raderie and good will was not there for them. The constant excuses of why some dogs did not win and the criticism of the officiating judges bothered them. They seek a more positive hobby.

This saddens me greatly. Many time I stand in the ring with s tandards running through my head, analyz-ing and choosing the dog/bitch most representing a standard on a given day. I stand there knowingly accepting the fact I am a target of criticism from disgruntled exhibitors.

Judges cannot please everyone. Their responsibility is to study the standards, educate

they actually go over the exhibit. This examination reveals things never seen by those outside the ring. Some exhibitors decide the judge does not know his/her hind end from a shot gun. Some remark he/she is political or favors handlers. Often people making such verbal attacks are unaware their particular breed actually HAS a breed standard. They are unaware others are listening to their comments. Some newcomers to the sport truly do not know the quality of what they ARE showing, but they are willing to learn. Perhaps their first dog is a pet. With encour-agement, they may see the light and purchase a show dog that can win. Some are uninter-ested in learning faults and vir-tues. Winning is the end all for them. Some lose their enthusi-asm quickly when they see how much is involved to be competi-tive. Perhaps they lack the mone-tary means and dedication needed to succeed. The majority of exhibitors DO NOT feel this way. They do not mind when a better dog stands in front of them. They compli-ment the owners on their win and develop a relationship. It is then others become involved in our sport. Young people are at a premium today and all of us should treat them with respect. Admittedly, our sport has its share of bad losers. We may not throw beer cans on the track, but negative comments hit just as hard. Being targeted or not, the owners of this little business were in the direct line of fire.

Shaking my head, I could say lit-tle regarding damage control. Most judges analyze and know why one dog places over another when they award placements. Their heart is uncluttered by emotions. They are doing their job to the best of their ability. It is an OPINION of ONE person on THAT day. You can always with-hold your entry under this judge in the future. Consider the following aspect of our sport. Handlers win more because they are there EVERY weekend 52 weeks a year. They work with dogs 24/7. It is their lives. They do not show dogs out of coat or condition. They study judges preferences and back-grounds, and then enter where they have the best chance of winning. They work daily on showmanship and attitude of their animal. They stay for Groups and Best in Show and KNOW their competition. Today we have Show and Go-ers. They show and simply leave. Many do not stick around to come back in for Reserve com-petition. They do not watch Groups or Best in Show where listening and learning from sea-soned exhibitors at ringside is an education. For every new person seen in the ring, there is opportunity. Mentoring and sharing of experi-ence encourages a newbie to participate in our great sport. In this way, they grow and catch fire. Fortunately, the couple I met purchased lovely dogs. Un-fortunately, someone smothered their coals of enthusiasm before they had a chance to burn

brightly. This is sad commentary regarding our great sport of dogs. The sport gives generously and we should

give back to the sport. We live in an envi-

ronment today of tell it like it is. Hurt-

ful remarks and criticism does not pro-

mote friendships. Destructive com-

ments sour the atmosphere.

Society today lacks civility. Peo-ple hesitate to become involved as others who disagree with their direction can instantly shred their ideas and reputation. In the 60s, I overheard a comment by someone that a particular winning male dog looked bitchy. Those around said SSSHHHHHH! We do not say things like that. Unsolicited criti-cism can be an attempt to sabo-tage success. Look around you. If someone is new, or seems uncomfortable as to what the procedures are, give them some help. Assist them and treat them with kindness. Dog shows are fun. They are simply the vehicle we choose to take us to lifelong relationships and suc-cesses. While seeking your desti-nation, make the ride enjoyable for those around you. Life is too short to drink bad wine.

SOPHIE The Incredible True Story of the Castaway Dog

On October 25, 2009, an idyllic sailing holiday became a water-logged nightmare for the Griffith family when their beloved three-year-old cattle dog, Sophie Tucker, was swept overboard. After circling the choppy waters off the coast of Queensland for hours, the Griffiths resigned themselves to the near-certainty that Sophie was deadeither drowned or lost to predators. Unbeknownst to them, their pets ordeal as a castaway had only just begun. In Sophie (February 2010; Da Capo Lifelong Books), journalist Emma Pearse gives us a tender account of Sophies docile puppyhood, her close bond with Bridget, the Griffiths youngest daughter, and Sophies uncontested place as the center of attention in the family. As a puppy, the stalwart Sophie was more concerned with love, affection, and daydreaming than rough horseplay or being a guard dog. Yet somehow this pampered household pet managed to survive when the odds were against her. Navigating the fierce tides and currents of the Great Barrier Reef, in waters teeming with sharks, manta rays, sea snakes, jellyfish, nets and drumlines, weighed down by wet fur, swallowing seawater, and with only the faint light of a new moon and her own sense of smell to guide her, Sophie treaded water for at least twelve hoursand possibly as many as twenty-fourbefore swimming five nautical miles to shore. Once on St Bees, a mostly uninhabited island populated by wild goats, wallabies, and an abundance of birds, Sophie survived by reverting to feral instincts and hunting the local wildlife. She refused food from patrolling rangers, remaining withdrawn and self-contained. Then, the miraculous: the instant Sophie was returned to her family, she once again became the loving, docile dog she always had been. Through extensive interviews with family members and animal experts Pearse reconstructs Sophies harrowing ordeal, illuminating the combination of robust physiquecharacteristic to the Australian blue heeler breedand unique survivor spirit that enabled Sophie to achieve a feat of such staggering courage and resilience it might well be called supercanine. And through the telling of Sophies return and seamless reintegration home, Pearse offers undeniable proof of the animal-human bond. Sophie is an amazing story of the resilience of the humanand animalspirit and validation for all dog lovers: our dogs love us, they remember us, and if separated they would fight to return to us. Emma Pearse is an Australian journalist who lived in New York for over ten years, where she wrote for New York magazine, the Financial Times, and The Village Voice, among other publications.

How many inherited illnesses might have

an Australian Cattle Dog?

If he is unlucky, he will suffer from epilepsy. Or the vet discovers a uni- or bilateral

lens luxation. Even so sad will be a tendency for spondylitis, which will be painful

when I jump and run or an elbow dysplasia let me drop on my front legs with every

step. All that I am free off. I am completely healthy, full of curiosity and expectation

to a life with you. I am only deaf.

It is not necessary to torture me with loudly shouted commands to obey. Only sim-

ple hand signs are sufficient to make me understand, what is expected from me. I

am learning quickly because I am an intelligent Australian Cattle Dog.

My owner loves me. I understand him without words. It is the body language which

makes it so self understood, that we communicate with each other.

I can hear with all my other senses. I hear with my eyes, smell my food without

telling me, where it is. Tracking and Agility are my favorite sports, in which I have

proven to be very successful as no noise is irritating me.

If I sometimes get a shock, something is suddenly coming from behind. But humans

in my environment learn quickly, that I always like to see everything from affront.

Do you still have questions, if I will love to join life with you?

DEAF So WHAT?


Deafness is not a Death Penalty

6. March 2012 Doris Duewel / Komi, Finland / December 2009

Why is deafness often a death penalty by humans? Deafness in the Australian Cattle Dog goes presumably back to the white colour in Dalmatians. Sci-entifically it is called Congenital sensorineural deafness. It is proven by the BAER Test (brain stem auditory evoked response), whereby electrical activities are measured with a special computer as answer caused by the stimulance of needle-electrodes fastened on the skin of the head. The analysis by an electrical diagnostic test is done by specialized veterinarians. The result is nowadays integrated in many, though not all, breeding regulations of ACD Clubs, and makes the first decision if the puppy will be once a stud dog or stud bitch. This form of deafness is passed on recessive and is therefore ineradicable. Having that in mind deafness can only be fought by breeding measurements. As there is no genetically test so far for the genes responsible for deafness, the remaining strategy to reduce deafness has been to not breed affected dogs and to breed away from pedigrees with high prevalence rates. It is clear, the less unilateral hearing dogs are used the smaller the percentage of deaf or half deaf ACDs in the breed. But for this all breeding ACDs have to be BAER tested. Unfortunately unilaterally deaf dogs exhibit little if any behavioral evidence of their defect, so af-fected dogs and bitches that are not BAER tested as puppies or prior to being bred will, when bred, continue to increase the prevalence of the disorder. But for the sake of the breed, an increasing number of breeders get their puppies tested, even if no breed order is demanding it. Earlier generations of ACDs were mainly bred and selected for their herding abilities, more than for their hearing abilities. This selection for working quality is still a big profit nowadays. That is the way many uni deaf dogs came to the breed. Our dogs have an excellent ability to smell, which guarantees their surviving qualities. Compared with this sense hearing was of minor importance. Dogs are flock animals and follow .the other members of the herd and their behavior.




















Doris Duewel


DEAF So WHAT?


One might think that a selection for full hearing prevalence is not so important. Unfortunately nevertheless, because if a dog is passing on uni-lateral or bi-lateral deafness cannot be foreseen. Both can happen. It is also not sex-related. Both can be affected. Uni-lateral hearing dogs can do everything what a full hearing dog can do. He is in no way handi-capped by his one-sided hearing ability. There is no reason to put them down however they should not be bred and spread the deafness to the gene pool. On the other hand, would all 12.2% uni-lateral and 2.4.% bi-lateral * ACDs be closed out from breeding, the gene pool would lose many other important items at the same time. As consequence the gene pool would be minimized and inbreeding would be increased. What happens with totally deaf dogs, who failed in the BAER test? For an unfortunate number this is the death penalty by their breeder. The argument is, that they cannot be sold. Do they have to be sold? Cant they find a caring home, where a sensitive new owner will teach him everything by hand signs? Deaf puppies are sleeping much deeper and longer than their hearing siblings. Therefore they have a very stable temperament, friendly and outgoing. All these virtues are of great help for a sensitive new owner, when teaching him to obey to hand signs instead of voice. Whoever got involved with a deaf dog, will not regret that. I once saw in Denmark several dogs of various breeds, hearing or not, I do not know it, who were trained by hand signs, because the training area was surrounded by high apartment houses where earlier was a free field. Dogs as well as owners were happily and successfully training. Of course, the owner has to stay within the range of sight or smelling. The connection of this team will be especially close. A delighting re-ward, which we give us and our dog is giving to use. Let a deaf dog have a chance for living! *2005 296 ACDs were investigated for deafness in Louisiana State University.


The Results Are Hundred Fold Its hard to believe that our "Deaf" Jenny is 2 1/2 years old. She was born 12/25/09 and came to us from Deb, when she was 9 wks old. She made the plane ride from TX to SC, just like Roper did 4 yrs ago. Roper was our 1st and only cattle dog, at that time. He's always been a sweet gentleman and he came here to retire. Then came Jenny!!! Oh she is a sweet girl and we think she just pretends to be deaf. You can imagine how cute she was, a plump blue cattle dog puppy, who didn't know or care that she had a handicap. As we were driving home from the airport, I called Deb "We have the puppy and she's so good". Deb said in her Deb way "wait until the Benadryl wears off" !!!! She was right again. Jenny does-n't know she's deaf. She is smart, fearless & happy (from the time she wakes up in the morning until she collapses at night.) She's always that way. I did read everything I could find on "raising a deaf dog" and that gave me some insight into po-tential problems that could surface, but mostly I've relied on my past dog raising instincts. So Jenny has been raised as though she can hear everything that is said to her.

Roper has been my helper in her training. He was so patient with this bundle of energy and he still is. I read an article about putting your hand under their nose to wake them while they are sleeping, so they can smell you and not be frightened as they wake up. I did that when she was tiny but it was not necessary. From the very beginning, I would stroke her head, ears, chest feet and belly. She's very content to continue with her nap. I guess we have our own body lan-guage. We do a "come here" with our fingers or pat the side of our leg. A "stop it" (showing the palm of my hand).

Ch. SilverDust Red Necked Roper, CD and SilverDust I L:ove Trouble

aka Jenny

A "quiet" with a finger to the lips. And a "down" command. Also, she knows she is trouble if there are no hand gestures and I just stand with my hands on my hips. Her ears go back, she quietly lays down and looks at me. Who would not love this dog? That's the only discipline she's ever known. There's never been a need for more. Did I mention how smart she is ?!!!!! This is not professional information as you can tell. This is our novice experience in raising a deaf dog. Don't be afraid of this job, the rewards are a hundred fold. Love Don, Bev, Roper and Jenny Jackson Jenny and Roper Best Friends Forever

Editor note:

Why is it that we as breeders take the easy way out and put these deaf

pups to sleep. I have followed Jennys progress with interest. Saying

that its the easy way out seems to be the general consensus. Finding

the right home for these precious babies is harder, but if you are a

good breeder you can do this.

Why is it our breed clubs can not combine resources with other clubs

to find the answer to this deafness question. ACDCA assured me sev-

eral years ago that ACDHEW organization was working on the deafness

gene and had found some organization to start research. Alas that has

been almost two years now and nothing has been reported.

If you are going to be a breeder, dont take the easy way out; take the Initiative and find the right home for that precious baby. Deb Casey Owner / Editor of ACDSpotlight SilverDust Australian Cattle Dogs

ACD SPOTLIGHT ON A BREEDERYARABBEE/CORRAL WEST

SHERRY MACLENNAN

How long have you been in Dogs? I have owned a dog for most of my life.

My parents got me a Dachshund when I was about 3. From then on I was

hooked and desired the companionship of a dog.

How long have you had the ACD and what is your background.? My

first ACD was purchased in 1975. I have 3 daughters and 5 grandkids, My

daughters have all shown dogs somewhat. My middle daughter Stacie is my

partner and is an excellent showman. Our family team ropes, run barrels, My

husbands family has a upland bird hunting club, along with show cattle, regis-

tered Gelbeivh bulls, and raising show market sheep. Along with raising their

German Shorthair Pointers. That keeps us pretty busy.

My oldest granddaughter Taylor, who is 8 years old, is currently helping me at

the shows and is a natural showman. I am excited to have her so interested

in the dogs.

Why did you choose the ACD? In 1975, I worked at a Livestock Auction and

need a helper. We also had cattle, buffalo, sheep and horses, so having a

good dog around was helpful. I needed something that was tuff and loyal.

BISS AOM CH Yarabbees Watch Wizzard Win HS CGC, aka Wizzard

How did you decide that this

breed was for you? I have had

several different breeds, in the

1980s, I had some of the first

Chinese Sharpei in the United

States. I loved the different

breeds that we had owned, but

weve always needed a working

dog, and a dog that would be

protective of my children, and our

livestock. As my daughters were

growing up, they would used Cat-

tle Dogs to keep their 4H animals

in shape, and after having the

first one, I just cant see myself

without one.

How did you first get involved

in the ACD? I was at college

and working at a sale barn and

heard that there was a veterinar-

ian, near the college I attended that had a litter of Cattle dogs. I went and

saw the pups that were 4 weeks old. I ended up leaving with a red male.

He was out of the Wooleston Dogs, his parents had been imported and was

a registered Queensland Red Heeler. I contacted a Donna Maccalister and

Michelle Wattada, at that time were Yarabbees Kennels they had almost all

Silverhills dogs, I told them that I was looking for a dog, they invited me to

a show so I could to see their dogs. I had shown dogs (my Sharpei) and

as I watched the ACDs I saw these dogs that I thought had great move-

ment and seemed to have a lot type and a lot of great things about them

loose to an animal that I felt was not as sound an lacked the strong char-

acteristics of the breed, and how I interpreted the breed standard I soon

learned that it was the way the dogs were being handled, and that they

were not experienced, the dogs were not being presented well. Due to

their lack of experience, the dogs were not placing and winning. I asked if

they minded

if I help them

handle the

dogs at the

next show.

Indeed with

my experi-

ence with

handling be-

fore, their

dogs placing,

in the show

ring changed.

My friendship,

working with,

and then soon

p a r t n e r s h i p

with Donna Macalister and Michelle Watada and the Yarrabees kennel be-

gan. Later, Donna and Michelle went different ways and at that time I de-

cided to change my Kennel name to Corral West.

What do you do with your dogs (i.e. herding, performance, confor-

mation)? Our moto is That our dogs should not just be for herding or

conformation but that we should have conformationally correct dogs that

can do what they were bred for; HERDING. I myself, do not do any per-

formance yet, I want to, and admire all that do. I was informed by my

granddaughter that we are going to be doing it, in the near future, as she

is very interested.

What titles have your puppy buyers put on your dogs you have

bred? Our puppy buyers have done conformation, receiving champion-

ships, herding titles, agility, rally titles and some are tracking now as well.

We were also the breeder of the High in Trail Agility dog in 2000 at the

Specialty. A lot of our puppies have received the title of companion. Some

have gone to working ranches and some to that are companions for their

families.

What made your decision to

start breeding? I wanted to make

improvements on the dogs that I

owned and decided to breed. Had I

not had the desire to breed I would

have never had BISS AOM CH

Yarabbees Watch Wizzard Win HS

CGC, aka Wizzard.

What caused you to pick the

particular dog/ bloodlines (S)

that you did to start your breed-

ing program? I started with Wool-

eston lines with the very first ACD I

had. It was just luck that I had

Bujis Desert Strom Stormy who

also had Wooleston lines. I have

always loved the Silverhills lines

which most of my first dogs were.

I then have crossed with Kuawarri

lines and have added their strong

working drive.

What dog/bitch to date is your best dog/ bitch produced and why?

The dog that I feel has made the most impact on my life and in the show-

ring has been BISS AOM CH Yarabbees Watch Wizzard Win HS CGC. Wiz-

zard was one of 3 puppies and the only male in his litter. I kept him, I

guess you could say by default. I really wanted a blue male, because it

was hard to show a red male, back then, against blue dogs in the show

ring. Since he was the only male, I decided, I would just have to make

this work. I didnt know how easy it would be. Wizzard had his first BOB

over specials at the age of 7 months. He finished his Championship at 9

months. He continued with his winning ways. He was a multi group placer

Wizzard at 9 weeks

and then at the age of 2 he was a AOM winner at the National Specialty at

Purina Farms. In 1998 Wizzard was the very first Red ACD to win Best Of

Breed at Westminster. Also a AOM at the Texas Specialty,. He continued

to be in the top 5 ACDs. I had so many people say that he wins in the con-

formation ring, but can he herd. Well I knew he could, so I sent Wizzard

home with Larry Painter, Larry returned him back to me 8 weeks later with

his herding started title along with a leg on his Intermediate title, that year

he was the #4 herding ACD. In 2000 Wizzard was the first to go Best In

Specialty Show, out of the Herding Titled Class at the National Specialty in

Colorado under judge Narelle Robertson. His daughter Ch Corral West

Watch The Mask CGC PT, was Best of Opposite Sex, and was BOS the

following year.

in the Herding Group.

and at age 10

Wizzard still placed

first in the group

Colorado has a very

competitive Herding

group as the top

Bouviers Des Flanders

and Old English

Sheepdog breeders

live her as well. All of

this from a red dog

and a dog that most

people thought was

too big. I spent most

of his life defending his size, I never heard anything else wrong with him

other than he was too big. I heard rumors he measured 23 inches, so I had

several people wicket Wizzard, he measured 20.5 inches. I always won-

dered how he would have done had he been out with a professional han-

dler.

He was my companion and was a very special part of our family. When my

girls were younger he hated when they got into scraps, as kids will do.

Coming home from a show the girls were cleaning out the truck when 2 of

them got into an argument, Wizzard pulled my oldest daughters coat till he

got them both laughing because he was pulling them apart! He spent a lot

Westminster Group

of time with my mother, who was at home alone after my step father died.

She was afraid and she knew that he would protect her.

Wizzard has been used in several books and even used in the description

of the breed standard (A Kennel club book Australian Cattle Dog by Char-

lotte Schartz). All from a Red dog that I thought should have been blue.

When deciding on a breeding do you outcross, line breeding, in-

breeding, or a combination of all? I have used a combination of all.

I have gotten great results from all.

Do you breed to outside females and if so what is your criteria?

When breeding to outside females, I think that the female should have

their hips x-rayed, elbows, and have full hearing. I also want to know

there PRCD status. I also require a brucellosis.

Who influenced your breeding choices the most & why? I think

Helen Blankers had a lot of influence on me. I know she had some of the

foundation dogs and I wanted to build from there. I see a lot of dogs out

there and have even purchased a few, dogs that didnt work out in my

breeding program, but I still like the Silverhills I have in my pedigrees.

What dog has made the biggest impact on your breeding program

to date? I feel I have 2 males that have made a big impact that being

BISS AOM CH Yarrabees Watch Wizzard Win HS CGC and AOM Ch Kuawarri

an Cwest Spectacular, aka Spec. From these 2 males I have Ch Kuawarri N

Cwest a Cinch Win HSAS who is a Wizzard son and AOE CH Corral West a

Zeek Monster who is a Spec son and a Wizzard grandson. Zeek was shown

by Anna Calkins who at the time was a 15 year old girl. Anna showed Zeek

in Juniors along with conformation. Zeek and Anna were a team to watch,

earning an invitation to Westminster in Juniors and the Breed, along with a

invitation to Eukanuba and receiving an Award of excellence.

What bitch has made the biggest impact on your breeding program

to date? I think that would have to be Ch Corral West Forever Entwined

Saira PT who is a Wizzard and Spec granddaughter.

I am excited to add a new bitch and have high hopes with her. Ch Call Me

Let Freedom Ring.

Which Dog & Bitch in your breeding program was most successful

or that you feel contributed the most to the breed? I think it would

be Wizzard and Spec I also have a Wizzard son CH Kuawarri N CWest a

Cinch Win HSas.

How do you raise your puppies? I whelp my puppies in the house and

from day one they are held and my grandkids are loving them. I have

them around our goats and lambs at an early age and socialize them as

much as I can. My dogs love to see the kids when they come.

What do you feed your puppies? I start them on a gruel of rice baby

cereal and goat milk then add Purina Pro Plan puppy and keep them on Pro

Anna and Zeke

Plan Puppy until they are a year old. I am lucky I can feed Pheasant and

Chucker to my dogs as well.

How did you come up with your kennel name? Yarrabees is an animal

preserve in Australia, I think it is also a tree. Corral West was easy

needed to Corral our calves and it was in the west pen were we were put-

Ch. Corral West Big and Rich Leroy

ting them. Thus Corral

West. I have some

people that think it is

Coral like from the bot-

tom of the ocean.

Do you have a distin-

guishable line? I

think I do, I have sev-

eral people say they can

tell that those are my

lines. I think my dogs

are consistent.

If you were going to

rate type, tempera-

ment, & soundness in

what order of impor-

tance what would be

the order & why?

I think they are equally

important but I feel that

temperament is very

important I recently

talked to a couple look-

ing for a puppy after loosing

their ACD of 12 years. They

told me that they really liked their dog but were only able to walk the dog

at night and could not have anyone come into their house without locking

the dog up, he was so aggressive that they could not have him out in pub-

lic. They wanted to make sure that they could take their new companion

out and show him off. Soundness, is very important, without a sound dog

you are only starting with problems and have to build from that. I like a

typey dog, but I want to be able to be around it and also have others

around the dog. They also need to be able to get around freely. I recently

saw a dog that oozed Type but could hardly move around the ring and

Wizzard and Cinch

then wouldnt let the judge look at him. Had he been able to be exam-

ined by the judged and sound movement and not skipping, he would have

placed a lot better. A young lady was showing him 2 of the judges told

her that the dog was not worth showing. She was very hurt as her

breeder told her he was show quality. I felt very sorry for her.

What do you think are the most serious faults in the breed today?

I think that rears are a problem along with topline. To me a dog with a

bad rear will also have a bad topline. I see to many rears that are higher

in the back than at the shoulder. I also would like to see better shoulder

angulation dogs with some fore chest.

What would say are the biggest genetic faults in our breed today?

I think that we are making good efforts to diminish the genetic faults that

our breed has. I think that hearing is a big thing, and as long as breeders

breed dogs that have unilateral hearing it will continue to be a problem. I

think with the PRCD test this has made it easier to change the way our ef-

fected dogs are going.

Do you consider yourself a mentor to others coming in the breed?

Yes, I want to help others with our breed. I want them to have the

knowledge to succeed with ACDs. They are a breed that people can

never have enough knowledge about. I myself want to know more about

the ACD and am always eager to learn.

What advice would you give them in starting out on the right

road? Make sure you know the breed. It is not an easy breed. They are

very dominate and if not given the right rearing they can become destruc-

tive. They need a job, and need lots of activity. They shouldnt be left

on a chain in the back yard. They were breed to work all day. So they

are active all day!

Describe an average

day living with your

dogs? Morning comes

early, I start by letting

out the dogs in the

house. Then make sure

everyone has water and

food, then clean runs. I

have lambs and goats

so I feed them. Put out

the young dogs in the

play area, this is about

100x100, I make sure

each of my dogs has

some attention and

love. I will train with the dogs that are being shown and groom them.

Then rotate the other dogs to the play area. If we are moving cattle, on

horseback I take one with me. We team rope and I use Cinch to move the

roping cattle into the chute or back up the alley way. I have taken him

with me to several roping pens and used him, I have had several people

say that they normally dont want a dog helping but just love how Cinch

moves about and does his job. Evening comes and we again let everyone

out for a run and then feed. I also try and take the dogs down on the

creek bottom. They love the romp and I love nothing more than having a

dog out while I am on my horse.

What should people who are interested in this breed know before

they bring one into their homes? That a cattle dog is not for everyone

and that they can take over a family if given the opportunity. A cattle dog

loves his human and can be the biggest clown you can find, they can bark,

dig and be destructive. I think they are the best breed out there for a lot

of performance events. I also would have them talk to other owners and

make sure they know what they are taking on. Information, information,

information, give them as much as I can.

Is there anything interesting that the breeding community (for

your breed) is working on? Not as of now. I would love any sugges-

tions if any one has any.

Do you feel the current AKC/UKC/ANC/FCI/ANKC standard is ade-

quate? For the most part I think it is. I think that the color of the red

needs to be addressed, but the rest is pretty much what it should be. I

think most experienced dog people understand and can look at a breed

standard for any breed and be able to know what it means. To inexperi-

enced people it is up to us breeders to explain it to them. I know that

there is a lot of talk about teeth right now. My opinion is that I would

prefer full dentition but a few missing teeth will not override a dog that

has other things I am looking for. If a dog is not sound or cannot move

correctly they cant get to the cattle that they are intending to bite, be-

sides herding dogs dont just move cattle by just biting them, they use

body movement and presence. A lot of us use our dogs on sheep and

dont want that gripping. I have known a lot of herding people and their

dogs have missing teeth none of them have ever had a jaw broken be-

cause of this.

Any comments that you wish to add: I was very lucky to have been

able to produce a wonderful big red Cattle dog named Wizzard and I

thank all of the people who have appreciated him, and those who didnt

for pushing me to show him and prove that a big red dog and a country

girl could make some first in the breed and that anything is possible. I

will breeding a Wizzard litter this fall and am hoping to have something

as close to him as I can!

I want to thank the Spotlight for allowing me to share my thoughts.

Dewi was my first ACD but I have followed the breed more than 20 years, and Kelpie breed-

ers since 1980. I've always been interested in the Cattle Dog and in year 2000 I decided to

buy one, but I had to wait 2 years before it finally became a litter with them lines I wanted. I

ordered a red male of Red Alert's kennel.

Dewi won my heart from the first moment a wonderful fearless puppy who did some prank,

always open and accessible to other people, but always followed me wherever I went.

Dewi showed early that he had an incredible track capability when he was 6 months he

joined the elite track without any problems, never had to teach him to take retrieves it, he

taught himself and his favorite reward was vanilla buns. He has inherited his ability to track

their puppies and I am grateful for, because I have a son after him there. (Working Mates

Another Dewil "Junior")

Dewi and I competed in three different service branches of tracking, searching, and patrol-

ling. We were approved in the second highest class in all three disciplines. We also com-

peted in obedience, but neither I or Dewi was so amused by it, so we competed in Class II.

My husband and I've trained a number of rescue dogs, and I wanted to try something new,

so I signed up and Dewi for a course for patrol dogs. This was something that suited Dewi

just fine. He and I had time to work together for five years out on the exercises and to be

involved in searching for missing persons. Dewi had an amazingly calm as he worked, when

we were on an exercise and were out on patrol so he began to sniff and showed me that he

got wind of people. Practice manager wanted us to continue the third time Dewi stayed he

would stand in my way and looked up at me with a look that said "you're stupid, if we now

continue, they will shoot us down," and he was right, it was an ambush. Had this been true,

he had saved the lives of more than 30 people because he warned us about 400 meters

before the ambush. Dewi could patrol for 12-14 hours straight without getting tired, when

we received new orders as he lay down with his head on my foot and slept while the officer

was talking to me, then he was ready again.

Dewi loved his green men, and went like a round in the tent and was scratched and got for

himself the occasional treat.

We also competed in three Swedish championships for patrol dogs together 2008-2010.

We had a 10th place as best result. Dewi loved as I said vanilla buns and in a champion-

ship where the dog must retrieve four items in a meadow by the weathering felt Dewi smell

of buns that the judge had in his snack bag. He ran out and picked up an object for me, ran

directly to the coffee bag and stole buns and ate them. We got zero rating and I was

grumpy, Dewi and the audience and the judges thought it was funny, but we finished in

10th place because he had full marks on the track.

Dewi was also a good herding dog who had a very nice ability to read the animals. When he

was herding sheep, he always has a nice distance and never went and bit, but be much

tougher on the Bulls, where he both biting at its heels and muzzle if necessary. He had full

marks on H.I.T sample.

Dewi has two litter here in Sweden, Bushbugs kennel and Working Mates kennel and a lit-

ter of Norway Okcoralls kennel. He has inherited his incredible track ability and wonderful

temperament which made available and fearless dogs. Dewi was a powerful dog and he

has inherited a good structure of the skeletons and very well angled fronts.

I met Australians who

asked me when he saw

the picture on Dewi ", you

have a red heeler? Did

you know that he will die

for you if required "when I

thought of those words

and looked at Dewi, I

knew it was true.

Dewi was diagnosed with

cancer in October 2011

so we had to put him to

sleep in early November

and I cry still missing him

every day. But I am so

grateful for the nine

years we had together.

Working Mates Another Dewil "Junior" is Dewis son from his last litter. Junior is a guy with a

twinkle in his eye. He is extremely hardworking and easy to teach in that case, he received

much of her mother Korad SE UCH UCH North CIB Bushbugs Dipsi Diver. He has inherited

his father's incredible track capability. He has been training track since he was 9 weeks

and picks make the retrieves its own. I have signed him to a course for patrol dogs in the

fall so hopefully he will patrol dog in the fall next year.

We will also start competing track when he gets 1 year.

He was on his first official show at the age of 9 months and got CAC and was Best of Breed.

He also shows great herding abilities, so we hope we can do HIT test this summer.

If he can achieve half of what his father did, I am grateful. Dewi was probably the most all-

round qualified ACD in Europe

Dalton The

Hero Dog

I need to tell you about my brave, loyal, good, smart, brave... wait - did I say 'brave'? I meant 'BRAVE' rescue dog, Dalton. Dalton and I have been together quite a while now, as you know. When we got him he had a few 'issues'. He still does. But last night, while we were home alone again - as you know, the hubby travels a LOT on business... we went thru our normal weeknight routine. Dinner, play-time/tv time (they usually happen simultaneously), then I take a prescription sleeping pill and half a pain pill, and go to bed. Dalton now sleeps outside his crate - he may choose to sleep in it, but we no longer close the door. We went to bed as usual and I fell asleep. And as usual, once I'm asleep, you could put the bed on a trailer, tow me with 4 wheel drive thru mountains and dirt roads, construction and heavy equipment and I wouldn't flinch unless my blanket fell off.

Several hours after I fell asleep I was awak-ened by Dalton HOWLING in my face. Literally. He had his front paws on the mattress and was *in my face* making noises he's never made before. Loudly. Groggy and somewhat stupid (a noted side effect of my prescrip-tions), I woke up and quickly determined this wasn't a "there's a deer in the yard" type of alarm. Just to make himself even more clear, Dalton began running from the bedroom to the living room window while howling. I followed. I am not stupid for long. Outside my living room window all I could see was an orange light. Not a color I tend to see naturally in the middle of the night. All the stupid left me, I walked onto my rear deck to take a look. All I could tell was that there was a fire either in or behind the nearby trailer park - and that the wind was blowing from that direction towards my house and my wind-break of very dry hemlock trees. I went back inside, got a few basic clothes on, went out the front door to get a better idea of just what was burning and how far away it was. By then a pumper and tanker truck were in place, plus more of the local fire crew (nearest hydrant is a mile away) were pulling up. I went back to the house and decided, since I was home alone and don't move very quickly, that it might be in my best interest to do a lit-tle 'just in case' packing. Somehow, even full of sleeping pills working at

their best, I managed to pack pants, shirts, undies, meds and all those important elec-tronics and power cords. I texted my husband, blissfully asleep in west Texas to let him know we were ok, but might have to depart if the wind picked up. Bags packed, I put my cell-phone in one pocket, truck keys in the other, left my glasses on and attempted to sleep in the living room recliner. Maybe I did sleep a bit, I can't say for certain. I know I woke about 2:30am when the last truck was leaving the scene. Deciding that if the professionals determined it was safe enough for them to go home, guess I could safely go to bed. So I did. Ended up going to work about an hour late - too groggy to function as usual at 6:00am. Drove into the park this morning on my way to work to find one of the older mo-bile homes gone Totally. Destroyed. In the older section where the houses sit very close together. Near the corner, across from my yard.. Everyone got out ok, and the great fire crew kept the fire from spreading and becoming something so awful that I don't want to think about it. But for me - safe - and not actually in danger from the fire - I feel blessed to have earned the trust of a VERY BRAVE DOG, one with in-telligence and determination, able to make decisions and follow through with the correct actions. All this from a rescue dog that wasn't really wanted and wasn't really loved by his former

owners. Again, I thank you for bringing this wonderful dog into my life. I truly don't know what I would do without him. Hugs to you all, Susan and Dalton
