PRESIDENT’S REPORT Hello and welcome to the September Hot Dog. Firstly I would like to thank those who assisted by volunteering on the 6-08-2012 to help with setting up rings and stewarding of our Double Header agility trial. Without the generosity of members giving up there time to assist with trials and van driving, the club would not be able to function. Thanks guys How’s your obedience going - Want to give it a twist. Rally O is here. September sees the introduction of Rally O training to Obedience class 2 and above. We will be introducing Rally O gradually by practicing a few of the cards each week. For those who have problems trialling because of an insecure or shy dog, to those who need to communicate while trialling, this is perfect. Rally O allows you to talk and praise your dog while practising and trialling. So why not give it a go. Our AGM is fast approaching – so keep Tuesday the 20th of November at 7.00pm free, and come down for some drinks and nibblies. All members are welcome. The event will be held in the club hall. You may even wish to join the committee for 2013, if so please offer your nomination prior by speaking to our secretary Daniela – your contribution will be most welcomed. On a final note – I would like to congratulate all those who travelled East to NSW to competed in the 2012 National Agility Trial. And a huge congratulations to all who qualified and made it to the finals - Well done. Please check below for a list of NST&ODC members who qualified.

For a change of pace – our secretary Daniela has supplied some photo’s and a brief description of avalanche rescue dogs on a recent trip to Wanaka in New Zealand. Here’s what she had to say. We were lucky enough to be able to talk to this avalanche dog owner/trainer and follow him on his training exercise on Treble Cone in Wanaka. This job is totally voluntary and the trainer receives no monetary assistance. He was very keen to compare notes on how we at Northern Suburbs Dog Club get the best out of our dogs by playing with them to keep them upbeat and excited and enjoying the work. Exactly what Gina, Bernice and Lyn are so very passionate about. The training involves some poor soul being buried in a hole after an avalanche has gone through. He has with him the dog's favourite toy. The rescue team goes in, starting from downwind working up. Once the dog has picked up the scent, he barks and starts to dig. The trainer joins him and they make a huge game of it, laughing and shouting and encouraging the dog, finally unearthing the victim who also makes a huge, huge fuss of the dog with the toy.
"Rocket" - avalanche dog in training wearing protective eye gear to avoid harm from glare off the snow, also cold wind.
Taking the chair lift sure beats walking! Rocket is fitted with a special harness with a handle and is lifted onto the moving chair then firmly attached.

DID YOU KNOW?
http://www.dogdiaries.com.au/doggy-news/101-interesting-dog-facts/
The Staffordshire Bull Terrier is also referred to as the “Nanna or Nanny dog” because of their strong affection for children. Originally bred not only for bull baiting and fighting, they were also used by the aristocracy to protect the children when playing in fields from wolves and other predators. The Staffordshire Bull Terrier takes a dominant owner and needs early socialization and behaviour training with other breeds as they tend to prefer human contact. It's absolutely crucial that all training of the breed be done in an optimistic, consistent and patient method as the Staffordshire is sensitive to tone and sulk easy. They excel in agility and obedience competition and also have had success as therapy canines. They are also easily housetrained. It has been said that "No breed is more loving with its family”.
DID YOU KNOW?
Basenji “Buh-SEN-jee”are smooth,
muscular, athletic dogs on the small side. The first traces of a dog similar to the Basenji are found in Egyptian tombs and wall drawings of five thousand years ago. Also called the Congo Dog, it was first introduced to England in 1937. English breeders refined it and exported it all over the world. In Africa the dog was used by the natives as a guide in the forest, to warn against the approach of dangerous animals, for pointing and retrieving of small game and driving game into nets. The Basenji washes itself like a cat and has no doggie smell, so very little grooming is needed. This is a good dog for people with allergies. This breed
sheds little to no hair.
