Jaquenetta German Shepherd Dogs

June 2008

FROM THE SOUTH WEST. JEAN HISCOX.

Well done to Keith and Paula Butler with Jaquenetta Ziglione (Ziggy) gaining 6^th place and a rosette out of an entry of 42 at Hampton DTC Obedience Show, under judge Val Kelsey. There was only 1 point between 2^nd and 6^th place. Ziggy was joint 5^th and had to do a run off for 5^th and 6^th placings. Paula, who handles Ziggy, decided as it was such a hot day and she was very pleased with the performance Ziggy had already put in, she would withdraw from the run off and be satisfied with 6^th place; as the first six dogs are critiqued. A couple of weeks later at Findon Downs DTC Open obedience Show she gained 4^th place.

Reading the article on ticks reminded me of an incident a few years ago. I was visiting a neighbour and I was making a fuss of his dog when I noticed he had a little lump on his neck. On investigation I found it was a tick and pointed it out to him. He told me the dog was always getting those little lumps, he thought they were warts as after a while they would disappear. I informed him they were ticks and could endanger the health of the dog, especially as it looked like a deer tick. I asked if he had any Surgical Spirit to douse the tick with? He didn’t. Vaseline to spread over it to suffocate it? He didn’t. He managed to procure some from another neighbour. I covered the tick, left it for a while, then plucked the complete tick off the dog with tweezers. It is important that the head of the tick is still attached to the body when it is removed, so that the whole tick is removed cleanly.

Peter went to Devon and gave Larry a lift. Several years ago Larry fell off a ladder a couple of times while window cleaning in icy conditions and broke his ankles. He has had the second ankle operated on recently, so he is hobbling about on crutches at the moment.
