Presidents Report Welcome to another addition of the Rottweiler Review, I hope everyone is keeping warm and trying to get out and about with your furry ones as much as possible. Over the last couple of months our committee has seen the resignation of 2 of its committee members, which has been a big loss to our small hard working dedicated team. Firstly Jeannette Attwell RCSA secretary left us and moved to sunny Queensland for a fresh new start with her partner and just very recently Nola Hender – Critique, BBQ and all round Extraordinaire has left us for the French delacies in France with her job. I would like to thank both Jeannette and Nola for their hard work and dedication to our committee and our club over the years. We will miss you very much! With them leaving it has left our committee running very short and in the mean time we will be filling the roles as best we can. However these positions are vacant and we are looking for anyone who might like to fill these roles either for the remainder of the year or will nominate to take over in the 2018 year at the upcoming AGM in November. In June we held our 50th Championship Show, Breed Survey and Obedience/Rally Trial which again was an all-round success. The weather although a little drizzly on the Friday was very kind to us and from all accounts everyone was happy with the show. (Steve’s report is included in this Review edition). We also held 2 seminars one each on the Friday and Saturday nights which were well attended and hopefully those that did attend were able to learn and take something away from them. I know Steve was very pleased with the attendance and grateful to the club for putting them on. The RCSA has decided not to hold the October show due to a number of reasons, reduced committee, close proximity of the RCV National and other state shows around that time etc etc, however we hope to re-visit holding October shows after our AGM. The RCSA AGM will be held on Tuesday 28th November, and AGM notices will be out by the 30th October, however anyone wishing to put forward changes in any of the club documents, Constitution, Rules/Reg or Trophy rules must do so by the 29th September. A separate notice regarding this was sent to the members 23rd August. By now all club members should know and be very aware of the rules around JLPP and making sure all their breeding stock is being tested either now or before mating. If not you will be in breach of the NRCA rules which came in to effect on the 1st July 2017. If you have had your dogs tested, please ensure you send a copy of your test results and dogs pedigree to the NRCA breed recorder by either email at [email protected] or via post to NRCA Breed Recorder PO Box 1102 Grovedale DC 3216 Victoria. All of these results will be loaded on to the NRCA HD/ED Database.

Not much else to report, so that’s all from me for now. Stay warm and stay well. Kind Regards Narelle Medlicott President

Rottweiler dogs can be so darn funny!

When we first brought our male Rottweiler Chevy home, he needed a bath. I worried it was going to be a struggle,

but instead he jumped right in the tub. So it seemed he liked water. . .

A few weeks later, my neighbor invited us over to play in her dog Lucy's brand new pool. It was a real pool, the kind

with a vinyl bottom and metal sides, etc.

We went into the back yard, Chevy saw the pool and went completely berserk. He jumped right in and started

splashing. He then went crazy with both front arms splashing as hard as he could. . .

Needless to say, the bottom was instantly shredded, the pool sides went crashing and completely flooded my

neighbors yard :( Oooops!

My neighbor laughed herself silly, but I felt so bad that the next day Chevy and I went to Costco and bought 2 of the

hard plastic shell pools (1 for Chevy, and 1 for Lucy). He actually punctured that pool right away, so I have to buy him

a new pool every summer - good thing they're cheap :0)

Rottweiler dogs can be super tough

This story is a little scary, and please keep in mind that Chevy is a Rottweiler Rescue and he came to us with some

pretty serious issues - most of which we've worked through over the years.

We used to have a couch in front of our living room picture window, and Chevy didn't like anyone walking past our

house. He used to jump up on the couch, put his paws on the window sill and smash his face sideways against the

glass.

One day we went somewhere, and when we returned my husband hollered as I was unlocking the door "is the dog

alright?" I asked why, because I hadn't even seen it. . .

Unfortunately, we had joked that someday he was going to break the glass. . . .Well, the whole center pane was

busted out with a long pointy shard hanging down right in the middle.

I ran in the house and found Chevy hiding on the other side of the bed with a look on his face that said "I know I'm

seriously in trouble, I was a bad dog." He appeared to be perfectly fine.

Thank God he didn't go all the way through the window, and how he didn't get one single cut on him I will never

know. The thing that I wonder most about though. . .

Is if the person who happened to be walking past the house at the time had to go home and change their drawers :0(

Chevy can no longer access the front window as we have a big table and two chairs there now, although we really

don't have this problem anymore - sometimes there's more reasons to redecorate than just changing colors :0)

Rottweiler dogs are smarter than a 5th grader

One summer morning my husband and I decided to leave Savannah outside in the backyard while we were at work.

When we got home I noticed her looking at us through the front window of the house. I said to my hubby "didn't we

leave her outside this morning?" Hmmmm

We certainly had left her outside, but apparently she decided that she would rather be in the house. She had opened

the sliding glass door, let herself in the house - and let my "inside only" cat out (that's a whole 'nother story itself) :0(

That's the day we realized our Rottweiler was probably smarter than us :0)

Judging the Rottweiler Club of South Australia’s

50th Championship Show and Breed Survey

June 17-19, 2017

On June 13, 2017, I judged the Rottweiler Club of South Australia’s 50th Club show. It was my

third judging assignment in Australia - the two previous ones were for the Northern Districts

Rottweiler Club in 2007 and 2012.

Living in New York and traveling to Australia in June is a big adjustment, the night is the day,

hot is cool and two days are lost from flying. Fortunately, I can make the change quickly.

I would like to thank the club and members, Narelle Medlicott pres. Dannielle Bermingham,

Marco Grimaldi, Debra Grimaldi, Brigetta Palmer, Jeannette Attwell, my ring stewards, Kerry

Osborne, Tania Mitchell and Marie Lowden. A big thank you to Josie Eiffe for her graciousness

and making my stay so pleasurable. I greatly enjoyed her company and our discussions on the

international Rottweiler.

The show - covering three days of conformation - June 17-19 - had 95 entries and a breed

survey with three entries on Monday, June 19. I also conducted two seminars. It was a full

plate.

Adjudication Conformation judging started with puppies on Friday, youth on Saturday culminating in the

balance of entries on Sunday. All dogs were handled and presented expertly.

Walking is a basic mode of Rottweiler

locomotion. It can reveal many things. All

classes were asked to walk first, then

checked for disqualifying faults and

dentition. I also include an assessment of

the “up and back.” It measures the

correct and incorrect mechanics of the

front and rear assemblies.

It is a critical evaluation, and necessary

for a thorough judgment of gait.

Largely, head type was correct on exhibits with

good zygomatic arch and stop, and ear set too.

Everyone dog I judged possessed excellent eye

color - ranging from dark to medium dark – and had

the proper almond shape, tight fitting eyelids. There

was not a single entry with light eyes. I congratulate

their breeders. Most had dark lip and gum

pigmentation.

19

Regarding the bite and teeth

alignment, dentition for many

exhibits was correct. Most

entries had appropriate bone

substance, and their gait was

harmonious with good reach

and drive.

There were some noteworthy

irregularities. Many heads

needed more pronunciation of

the zygomatic arch, the stop

and a few had only sufficient

gum and lip pigmentation. About dentition, several dogs had square P3’s - left and right upper

jaw – one exhibit had a misaligned i3 upper right, and one had a spacing problem with the P3

lower left. Too many dogs and bitches

had only sufficient front and rear

angulation, which explains their shallow

reach and drive. Most conspicuous was

the body length on nearly all exhibits. It

was long - out of the standard - and not

correct.

Seminars and Breed Survey I presented two seminars. After the show on Friday evening, I conducted the first one, The

Rottweiler In Type. It had 16 attendees and produced several lively discussions. My second

seminar after judging Saturday was The Correct Geometry of Rottweiler Dog and Bitch Head

Type with Discussions on Its Evolution. It had 12 participants. The show concluded on Monday

with the club’s Breed Survey. There were three entered and all passed.

A Unique Perspective Judging Rottweilers in Australia – 2007 and 2012 - allows me a unique viewpoint. Exhibits in

the 2007 NDRC show were typical in head and body type, with good construction and gait. I

praised their breeders, owners, and handlers. But in 2012, when I returned to judge for the

same club, I noticed a troubling and undesirable trend in two areas, body length and

angulation of the front and rear. Head type was still good, but the body ratio of height to

length worsened - the average ratio on exhibits was closer to 9X12. Front and rear angulations

diminished from good to sufficient. It was disturbing. I alerted the club to the negative

trending change. Interestingly, in the Veteran class for this year’s SA show, 2017, I found proof

of my prediction.

A 9-year-old veteran entry in the male class possessed the correct front and rear angulation

and body length. This dog was a quality example of the good type exhibits I judged in 2007.

The dogs back then were producing the standard accepted body length and angulations.

Now, body length - closer to 9X13 - and angulations are incorrect. What once was is now a

rarity. The veteran entry confirmed the change I predicted in 2012.

Summary The SA club is well organized, professional and conducts an impactful show. I praise the

breeders, owners, and handlers of all the class winners. Congratulations go to Starkehre

Neverending Story - Best in Show - and NRCA Ch. Aus.Ch. Zlatnik Heidi ET RN Runner Up Best

in Show. I hope my critique of the exhibits will be studied constructively and enhance

someone’s breeding program. I look ahead to adjudicate another show.

Sincerely,

Steve Wolfson
