With the cooler weather, activities switch back to conformation

showing. We’ll sponsor a Booster at the Trillium Dog Show

October 27 in Lindsay Ontario. And to finish the year, the

PWDCC is holding a Regional Specialty Show December 27

at the Elora Gorge Dog Show in Kitchener Ontario.

So you can see there is lots of action and entertainment

happening in Canada for you to enjoy in 2012. Check the

club website Events page for the latest updates.

As we count down the days to the National please look at the

show website (http://pwdcc.org/national_specialty2012) and

see if there are any trophies you might be interested in spon-

soring. From Sweepstakes, the Generations and Wet Dog

classes to the Water Trial, your support will help make the

show a success. You can make a personal dedication (please

not to a living dog) and it can all be done easily online. Or

you could contribute to the Silent Auction either with your own

creative items or let Sharon do the shopping for you. And most

importantly, hope to see you there.

Finally, our Breeder Contact, Cindy Berube, after many years

of hard loyal service has decided it is time to step down. We

thank her for all her efforts. We will be looking for someone to

take this on. If you are interested in this or any other club

position please contact me or other members of the board.

Portuguese Water Dog Club of Canada

May 2012

Hello to all,

We are starting into our busy season and hope that we will

see you at some of our activities that you might not normally

attend, so check out the following list and try to plan on

coming out to see what the club is doing this year!

The first event is the PWDCOntario Water Camp where you

can hone your skills for the three upcoming Water Trials

(yes 3!) to be held in Canada in 2012. The camp is on June

9th at Laurel Creek Conservation Area in St. Jacobs Ontario.

The second is a Booster to be held at the Vernon and District

Show in beautiful British Columbia. Contact Lori Crandlemire

for more information.

The third is our National Specialty held in Milton Ontario at

the Milton Fairgrounds August 8-12. You won't want to miss it!

With lots of Portuguese Water Dogs from all over Canada and

the United States, as well as several days of all-breed dogs

shows, the Specialty is a very entertaining event for the entire

family. The Water Trial starts off the festivities on Thursday at

Laurel Creek displaying the amazing talents of the breed. The

Specialty is a great way to spend a day or week with the family

at a very reasonable price.

Can’t say more now but look for announcements of an event in

Alberta, hopefully, coming very soon.

Then PWDCOntario is holding another Water Trial August

24-26, again at Laurel Creek. This is a two day trial for more

opportunities to title.

PWDCOntario Spring Fling15 PWD’s brought their families for a day of fun, frolic and

learning at the 2012 PWDCOntario Spring Fling.

This eager group of PWD’s enthusiastically participated in a

full slate of activities including Rally-Obedience, Agility and

Canine Good Neighbour skills training and testing. The event

also included a hands-on grooming tutorial – a very popular

segment of the day.

The day concluded with a demonstration of our unique, breed

specific sport of water work and then attendees had the oppor-

tunity to teach their dogs retrieving skills.

Four legged and two legged attendees alike jumped in and

keenly participated throughout the day. It sure looked like fun

was being had by all!

Congratulations to our CGN test participants!

Six participants prepared for and took the CGN test with five

earning their CGN certificate.

Thank-you to the hard working group of volunteers who helped

make this event a success with special thanks going out to Pat

Vokes, Cathy Gadd, Jenn McMechan, Jason Gauthier and

Shawn Day – for providing the CGN, Rally-Obedience, Agility

and Water Work demonstrations, and Mari and Sara for their

great job selling club merchandise.

Thank you to Renee DeVilliers of All About Dogs for providing

her training facility in the Keele/Lawrence area to hold this

event.

Land Training Water WorkshopOn May 6th PWDCOntario hosted its 2012 land training

session in Richmond Hill. This session is part one of our

annual water work program, designed to introduce PWD’s to

the historic traditions and skills of our breed.

Participants learned the core skills required for water work and

set a foundation to successfully competing at water trials.

I and my event helpers were very impressed with this year’s

attendees, who clearly demonstrated the innate instincts and

talents the Portuguese fishermen valued in their dogs!

Many of the participants

had very young dogs with

them – all the more excit-

ing to see baby PWD’s

doing retrieves – dunking

their faces into water bins

as they learned an under-

water retrieve – happily

sitting on the mock boat

platform – and playing

with float lines.

Most of all, they had a

blast interacting with and

learning new things with

their owners.

Your Specialty Committee


The technical term for canine heartworm disease is dirofilaria-

sis (species of roundworm). It is only fairly recently that it has

been recognized in Canada as a potential health threat to our

dogs. Until the early 1970’s the disease was confined primari-

ly to the coastal areas of the southeastern and southern sec-

tions of the United States and a few localized areas in the

northeast and the Midwest. The spread of heartworm disease

in dogs is primarily due to human migration from heartworm-

epidemic areas with infected dogs. The heaviest infestations

of heartworm in Canada continue to be along the major water-

ways and tributaries (St. Lawrence River) due to the high

prevalence of mosquitoes, but the incidence is increasing

across the county. Heartworm infection also occurs in wild

canines, ferrets, muskrats, racoons, bears, horses, foxes and

coyotes.

How Does Heartworm Affect My Dog’s Health?Heartworm is a serious and potentially fatal condition caused

by parasitic worms that live in the heart, and blood vessels

that supply blood to the lungs of infected animals. Dogs con-

tract heartworm disease from mosquitoes that are infected

with heartworm parasites. When an infected mosquito bites

an uninfected dog, it injects the immature worms (larvae) into

the tissue of the animal through its saliva. Once injected, the

immature worm develops, migrating to the lungs and potential-

ly to the heart, where they mature into adults and begin to

reproduce. These worms can grow to a length of 15-30 cm,

and in severe cases, a dog can be infested with hundreds of

worms. Mature worms produce thousands of larvae that can

then be spread to other dogs or cats by mosquitoes. The infes-

tation can result in damage to the heart, lungs and liver and

sometimes death due to severe damage to internal organs.

What Are The Signs and Symptoms ofHeartworm Disease?Without regular testing, heartworm disease is usually only

detected after the disease has progressed. Clinical symptoms

may include: general listlessness, a chronic cough or unusual

coughing. Laboured breathing, and weight loss. The dog may

also tire very easily during exercise and could collapse due to

heart failure.

Heartworm Disease in DogsWhat Is The Risk of My Dog ContractingHeartworm Disease?In 2010 the University of Guelph Department of Pathobiology

revealed that 564 dogs in Canada tested positive for heart-

worm. 431 of these cases were in Ontario. Of the animals who

tested positive, 80 percent of the animals had not used heart-

worm prevention medication. The balance of the animals who

tested positive for disease were using preventive medication

sporadically and not as prescribed. The University of Guelph

reports that the incidence of heartworm has increased 60 per-

cent since the last study they conducted in 2002. This howev-

er, could be largely due to the fact that veterinarians are

requesting that more dogs be routinely screened for the dis-

ease. Given the numbers of dogs in Ontario and Canada wide

the risk for your dog contracting heartworm is relatively low.

However, if you have been to areas in the United States where

heartworm disease is an epidemic, the risk is significantly

higher if your dog has not been protected with heartworm

medication.

Dr. Karen Becker, Veterinarian of Mercola Pets points out that

it is relatively difficult for dogs to contract heartworm disease

as the environmental conditions must be optimal in combina-

tion with the “right” mosquito biting your dog. She asserts

that only certain mosquitoes can transmit heartworm to your

dog. They must be: female; they must be of a species that

allows development of the worms in the cells of the body (not

all species do); they must be of a species that feeds on mam-

mals (not all do) and they must have bitten an animal with

stage 1 (L1) heartworms about two weeks prior, since approxi-

mately 14 days are necessary for the larvae to develop to stage

3 (L3) inside the transmitting mosquito. This mosquito must

then bite your dog. When the larvae reach stage L-4 to L-5

which takes 3 to 4 months under the right conditions they can

travel via your dog’s bloodstream to the heart and lungs.

Further, she argues the transmission of heartworm requires

certain environmental conditions. It must be warm and humid.

During the time that the heartworm larvae are developing from

L1 – L3 inside an infected mosquito, approximately a two

week period, the temperature must not drop below 57ºF or

14ºC otherwise the maturation cycle is halted. Standing water

is also a requirement for mosquitoes to reproduce.

Prevention Is The KeyOf all the dogs who tested positive for heartworm in 2010,

according to the University of Guelph, 9 percent were reported

as being imported from the southern United States (Katrina

dogs) and 12 percent had been imported from other parts of

the United States. 51 percent of dogs who tested positive had

never left their local area. Although the risk is low, heartworm

is present in the Province of Ontario. It is easy to prevent and

there are a variety of strategies and medications available.

Dr. Karen Becker suggests that we look at first things first…

Feed a balanced, healthy diet. Parasites are often attracted to

weak animals. Keep the immune system healthy by avoiding

over use of antibiotics, steroids and over vaccination. She also

suggests to manage mosquitoes in your home environment as

effectively as possible. Don’t leave any standing water around

and use safe, effective bug spray on your dog. Finally, consult

a holistic veterinarian for the prevention of heartworm disease.

Frequent testing may be required as homeopathic remedies

will not necessarily prevent heartworm disease. For more infor-

mation go to: http://healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthy-

pets/archive/2010/08/03/why-havent-pet-owners-been-told-

these-facts-about-heartworm.aspx. In older or immune compro-

mised animals, use frequent testing as an alternative together

with keeping your pets inside in the early mornings and dusk

periods.

Traditional heartworm medications are available from your vet-

erinarian. He or she will recommend testing before the med-

ications are prescribed. The presence of the antigen indicating

heartworm disease will require a different course of treatment

than a preventative medication. However, if you have a new

puppy that has not been exposed to a mosquito season, testing

is not required as there has been no exposure. Your veterinari-

an may recommend a topical application for heartworm that

also includes additional medicine for flea and tick prevention.

Some veterinarians use a pill form for the prevention of heart-

worm disease. Refer to Dr. Karen Becker’s chart in the above

article to determine how many months your dog should be on

a heartworm prevention medication. Generally, meds are rec-

ommended from June 1 through October 1. Some veterinarians

suggest a longer course of treatment, however, given our north-

ern climate it is likely unnecessary.

SummaryHeartworm disease can pose a significant risk to your dog’s

health. However, the risk for contracting the disease is rela-

tively low in Canada due to our climate. If however, you live in

the great lakes region or along the St. Lawrence River, your

dog could be at higher risk if you spend a lot of time outdoors.

Choose preventative strategies that you feel comfortable with

especially during summer seasons that are unusually warm and

humid. If travelling to areas where heartworm is considered a

serious health threat, ensure that your pet is protected. If you

choose to use a traditional form of prevention, use the medica-

tion as prescribed. Testing will be required before the veteri-

narian will prescribe the drug. Testing will be necessary every

two years. Some veterinarians will prescribe the medication

without testing if your dog has never missed a dose and you

do not live in a higher risk area.

What does this have to do with the dog

biting, the dog not coming when it’s

called, the dog having a bedtime running

fit, the dog chewing your table leg?

Nothing. Nothing at all. Those are behav-

iours. Behaviours are trained.

Next, the idea that dogs fight to estab-

lish dominance. With this, I’ll throw in

the idea that dominance is a physical

event. Wrong again. Sane dogs who

speak “dog” well will do almost anything

to avoid fighting. The best teacher isn’t

the one running up and down the school

hallway fussing about untied shoelaces,

but the one who’s class just hums along.

Of the best teachers, others will fre-

quently say how “lucky” they are that

they always get the “easy” classes. The

best cop and the best mother are not the

screamers or ranters but the ones who

calm things down just by showing up.

The most dominant dog I ever saw never

raised her lip once in her life, but an

adult male German Shepherd once

scraped a tooth across her croup. She

turned slowly to look at him, and he

peed himself and released his anal

glands. Dominance is not a physical

thing. It’s purely mental. Dogs who fight

are dogs who can’t communicate with

other dogs, so can’t tell whether another

dog is going to ignore them, attack them,

play with them, or try to breed them.

“Dogs fight to determine dominance,

that the strongest animal is the most

dominant, that dominance comes from

proving that you’re the strongest animal”

Think of all the facial expressions and

body expressions and positions that dogs

use to speak. Scuba will teach you if you

let her. In another life I’m sure she

would be Alpha rolled and disciplined for

being “dominant”. She has strong opin-

ions about her personal space. She does-

n’t like people in her space when she’s

sleeping. She’ll sleep on my bed, but if I

move under the blanket or put a leg over

her, she’ll get off the bed. She’s more

opinionated with strange dogs, especially

when we’re doing a seminar and she

Researchers from the vet college at

Guelph, Ontario, about 10 years ago,

told us that there is ZERO correlation

between puppy dominance tests and the

family relationship of adult dogs. I’m

going to run with that and say, at the

risk of the anthropomorphizing I just

despised, that dogs don’t care who the

boss is. All they care about is that

SOMEBODY is in charge of the universe.

One way I’ve explained this is that

Cavaliers need to have somebody in

charge because the person in charge is

the one with the money for ice cream,

so if no one’s in charge, there’s no ice

cream today. And Giant Schnauzers need

to have somebody in charge because

THEIR person-in-charge makes the grass

grow and the sun rise. So Cavs will sit

around and hope somebody’s in charge

today, while Giant Schnauzers will be

staring at you when you wake up, just

checking to be sure you haven’t lost your

touch. What this means in real terms is

that if a dog is having problems that

appear to be related to “dominance”,

it isn’t that the DOG is too high on the

ladder and needs to be lowered, but that

the human isn’t high ENOUGH and

needs to be raised. All the physical dom-

inance methods aim at lowering the dog

by physically controlling it. Then you

have a human who isn’t high enough to

control the universe, and a dog who isn’t

either. Unfortunately, there are unpleas-

ant consequences to ignoring the ice

cream money - when a dog, like a child,

appears to be living in a world with no

rules, they act out, apparently pushing

to find that nonexistent line, and they

frequently exhibit signs of inappropriate

fear. The non-physical “nothing in life is

free” programs, like Leading The Dance,

on the other hand, build up the human

by applying the rules that were missing.

Once there’s someone capable of getting

the ice cream and making sure the sun

rises every morning, the dog can start

relaxing.


DOMINANCEDOMINANCE. ARGH. I’m not sure

how long this is going to take me to

write, and I will probably have to go off

on some tangents of my own, but here

goes. It’s really dangerous to assume we

have ANY clue what a dog is thinking.

Most of the time I can’t tell what my

husband is thinking, and he’s the same

species as I am and has, presumably,

approximately the same senses as I have.

When we use words describing what the

dog is feeling, we are, at best, describing

what WE think the dog is thinking, and,

at worst, projecting our own feelings onto

the dog. This is a slippery slope that

brings us words like “blowing off” and

“dominant” and “deliberate”. If we

humans stopped at pretending we knew

what a member of an alien species was

thinking, we’d only be deluding our-

selves, but unfortunately we carry things

further. We use words which make us

angry. Which make us feel blown off,

picked on, deliberately defied. And then

we act on how those words make US

feel. MUCH safer and more reasonable

to deal with the behaviour we see. When

I’m coaching someone, it’s usually about

6 months before they’re allowed to use

ANY word describing feelings, and then

only as clearly-understood shorthand for

a specific set of behaviours (eg “afraid”

as shorthand for “ears back, pupils dilat-

ed, weight back, tail tucked, eyes dart-

ing, shivering”).

Now, about “dominance”. There’s a very

strongly-held idea about dominance

endemic in the dog community. That idea

is that dogs are in a constant struggle

with humans for dominance. Along with

this central idea are the theories that

dogs fight to determine dominance, that

the strongest animal is the most domi-

nant, that dominance comes from proving

that you’re the strongest animal, that

dominance is lineal, and that dominance

is a physical situation. None of these are

true. Let’s take them one by one.

has a table to lie on as her only private

space. Using her on her table, we can

start rewarding dogs for reading her cor-

rectly and for giving appropriate respons-

es to what she’s saying. And I can teach

people to “hear” what she’s saying as

well. First she’ll tighten her neck mus-

cles. If the dog fails to respond correctly

by moving away or at least turning his

head away, she’ll twitch her cheeks. If

the dog fails to respond correctly, she

lifts a lip. Next she lowers her head.

Then she lifts her lip higher. Then she

starts an almost silent growling. Finally,

she’ll make a bark and pretend lunge

which is not in any way intended to

come near the other dog. All this is dis-

cussion designed to AVOID anything

physical.

Finally, the idea that dominance is line-

al. Even humans know that possession

is 9/10ths of the law. Scuba may be the

queen of the known universe, but that

doesn’t mean she can take Stitch’s

blanky away from her. Or that she would

think to try. One dog may be in charge of

the dog bed, another the living room,

and another the car. True dominance is

a roundabout and convoluted discussion.

So what can we do about “bad” behav-

iour? We can use the exercises in non-

physical nothing-in-life-is-free programs

to raise ourselves up the ladder when our

dogs appear to be exhibiting NON-SPE-

CIFIC anxieties and misbehaviours. We

can TRAIN (gasp) the specific behav-

iours we want, and train out the specific

behaviours we don’t want. We can use

management and planning to prevent the

dog from being rewarded for behaviours

we don’t want. We can TRAIN a cue

which says “what you’re doing is not

allowed” and we can remember to use

it as a prelude to redirecting the dog to

behaviour that IS allowed.

SUE EH’S RULES OFTRAINING

Trust the Force (or, in this case, thelack of it).

Don’t be afraid, just do it.

Don’t be afraid to say NO!

When the teacher is doing morephysical work than the student, thestudent is not learning, and neitheris the teacher.

Control the mind to control the head.

Control the head to control the body.

Control the situation to control whatthe dog learns.

You must be physically and mentallycomfortable to teach.

The student must be physically andmentally comfortable to learn.

Be aware of your own tendency toblame.

Be aware of your own tendency topunish.

One job of a teacher is to balancethe student between bold and shy,between respectful and trusting.

If you don’t want a willing partner,don’t clicker train.

Never allow other people to set yourpriorities.

Clicker training is contract training.You get what you want, then the doggets what she wants.

Control the resources or sell the dogand take up knitting.

It isn’t about whispering. It’s aboutspeaking clearly with your body andmind, and then listening to theanswers.

Teach the animal to target.

It is not my job to control the animal.It is the animal’s job to control her-self.

It is my job to put the animal in asituation where she can learn whatI want her to know as quickly andeasily as possible.

Rewards are defined by the student,not the teacher.

Learning is defined by the student,not the teacher

Work where the animal is, not whereyou expect her to be or where she“should” be.

If this animal is mine, I am the onewho is responsible for what happensto her.

If this animal is mine, I am the onewho is in charge of what happens toher

When the student is ready, theteacher appears. Nobody loves amissionary.

Self-control reduces fear and stress.

Work for five minutes, then quit.Leave the animal interested in youcoming back.

The leash is to keep the animal fromgetting hit by a truck, not to control,punish or teach.

Plan once, train twice. Or plan twice,train once. The choice is yours.

Keep records that will meansomething to you.

Break it down. The smaller the behav-iour you’re teaching, the greater yourchance of success.

WHY is not nearly as important asWHAT. Teach yourself to see what thedog is doing rather than worryingabout why he does it.

WHY is not nearly as important asHOW. Teach yourself to see how thedog is being rewarded for a behav-iour you don’t want. Then you’ll beable to see how to stop the behaviour.

Stop.

Stop & think.

Stop & evaluate.

Stop & re-evaluate.

Stop & get out of the situation.

Stop & renegotiate.

Stop & change SOMETHING.

Give the animal a chance to think.

Explain clearly and then let her sleepon it.

Look for the startle.

“My dog won’t...” and “My dogcan’t...” should be followed either byan alarm bell or a training plan.

Never go for duration with a reallyhungry puppy.

It’s all tricks, relax.

Sit back and enjoy the ride.

Report of Specialty Committee

Web site ready to be launched, judges sent in biosand photos. Booster judge from Columbia sent hismaterial also. Hotel rates confirmed, room rates are$119-139.00. The Kilbride premium is online, wehave extrapolated the relevant pages for our show,obedience, etc., working on our own brochure andit will be ready shortly, the outstanding piece is infoon advertising from MJN. Should we have aFacebook page for the Specialty? We’ll launch onMonday April 16. The judges are checking in toorganize their travel. Herb is working on ribbons,waiting for info from MJN and I’m looking toupgrade the quality of the ribbons, Mindy is workingon Trophies. The show spreadsheet forRibbons/Trophies and the Budget are almost readyand will be distributed to the board when available.A group went to the show host hotel and site andscouted our preferred location for our Specialty ring,just south of the all breed show rings. DebGraffmann asked if we want to purchase our owntent and she would store it. She would have Wardput it up. Tent rental costs are coming in. Storageis an issue, as it must be dry and clean or else thetent gets stained and ruined. As we move our loca-tion of shows, it might not be feasible to have ourown tent. Let’s table until we have actual costs.The Water trial group have purchased an awning,might be of use at the Specialty. Tents are also vul-nerable to storms and it might not be a good invest-ment for the club.

Regional Specialty at Elorain December in Ontario. Still waiting to hear fromthe selected judge.

Booster in QuebecHerb and Karine have been communicating re theQuebec Booster. The Saturday judge for the show inQuebec has awarded Karine significant placementsand could depress entries and could damage thereputation of the club if we went forward with thisBooster. Karine wants to show to this judge and thatus understandable, she has recommended that wedrop this Booster. Henri moves to rescind themotion from the last meeting, seconded by Mindy.Approved. Karine suggested we look at the Montrealshow as an alternative.

Booster in B.C.Lori asked if PWDCC would support a Booster July6/7/8 2012 Vernon show this summer, Working andHerding Specialty also. Booster at this show? Judgesare Jack Ireland, Mary White, Ric Fehler. All judgesare well-regarded and suitable. Jack Ireland hasjudged Water Dogs since 1997 and approved for allbreed, every group, bred Boxer, Pekinese, and more,Mary White is a Doberman breeder and more, pro-fessional handler, Ric Fehler is a Doberman andBichon Frise breeder from Saskatchewan, both arequite active judging all breed and breed specialties.We reviewed history on judges’ directories to dis-cuss. Lori will find out the schedule and each judgeappears very well qualified. The date doesn’t matterto Lori. For Boosters, the host club supplies rosettesand give us a rebate of $4-10 per dog and we sup-ply prizes for the top awards (BB, BOS, BW, WD,WB, BP, RWD, RWB). And we usually have somesocial event, pot luck lunch, etc. History has beenanything from 3-7 dogs but with the Herding andWorking Specialty, perhaps the entry might go to15? The venue is really nice. Lori will look after theadministration of this. Moved by Henri that thePWDCC will support a Booster at the Vernon &District show July 6/7/8 2012, seconded by Judy.Approved.

Our next meeting will be March 8, 8pm EST.

French translation of the Code of Ethics andPWDCC handoutGlenda was to review but she hasn’t done so yet,the material was sent to Henri and another fran-cophone member for review, he should get back tome after the weekend. Karine found one typo whichhas been updated. Roslyn reported that until thereis significant French text we won’t build a parallelsite.

Specialty CommitteeMari and Sara Szauerzopf, Brawn Levy and RoslynEskind visited the prospective host hotel and theshow site, its the same hotel as ‘06 Specialty.Brawna will negotiate room rate and banquet hallrental. We’ll use the big room, in ‘06 we had 81people squeezed in to a room suited for 75. We’llhave a buffet, as it gives us more latitude to addpeople last minute and more variety of menu ispossible with a buffet as opposed to a fixed platedmeal. We have been In touch with judges to getbios and travel plans. We’ll initially set aside 20-25rooms. When we hear back from the judges andhave our rates fixed we’ll book them and post onour Specialty web site.

New Business

New Agenda Item/Club Credit CardThe club needs a credit card for an event like this,as cheques are not always appropriate, and sendingmoney by PayPal is not always feasible. Moved byHenri to investigate obtaining a credit card for theclub, seconded by Mindy. Approved.

Regional Specialty at Elora GorgeCurrently we have a Booster booked for this yearand we’ve had one for the last 7 years. The showchair is encouraging us to move up to a Specialtyand he will cooperate with judge selection and sup-port. Henri commented on the crowded venue in theBingeman’s banquet hall. We currently get an entryof 19, we could perhaps get 30, or more. We firstneed to see if the PWDOntario is willing to take thison. There is a catering service on site and smallermeeting rooms for our social event which wouldmake for a nice event. This is the last show of year,and can be significant if there is a tight race for topplaces, this could add some excitement to theevent!

Roslyn moved that the PWDCC is supportive of aRegional Specialty if the PWDCOntario is willing totake this on, seconded by Mindy. Approved. (Judyjoined the meeting) The National Board picks thejudges, we can communicate this by email and notwait until the next meeting. We should begin to puttogether a list.

Credit CardTD Visa card at a cost of $50 per card up to 3cards allowed

I had a meeting at the TD Bank this week. We canget a TD Business Visa Card, the annual fee is$50.00, additional cards $50.00, 19.75% intereston purchases, 21.5% interest on cash advances.Normal other features, but no point accumulation.Whatever credit limit we set, we need to maintainthat balance in our bank account, so say we ask for2 cards with $5,000.00 limit, in the President’sand Treasurer’s names, we can allocate maximumspending for each card, say 3,000.00 for one, 2,000.00 for the other or any combination adding tothe finite amount. This way there is no personalguarantee or personal credit check, etc. and thenamed people can be changed easily with changesto the board. As we don’t have borrowing by-laws,we will need a motion at this meeting, approval ofthe minutes in May, and then we can proceed andget a credit card.

Moved by Roslyn that the PWDCC arrange with TDBank to issue a credit card in the PWDCC namewith a maximum balance of $5,000.00 in the nameof the Secretary/Treasurer, Roslyn Eskind, secondedby Mindy. Approved.

Alberta Water TrialRoslyn discussed with Robin some of the issueswith regard to the site, depth and quality of waterin the pond. The owner of the land wants to bereimbursed for the improvements he will make tothe pond, grading, laying down gravel and buildingan outhouse. There are concerns about red/greenalgae, the landowner has checked the water qualityin the past, he and his family personally swim there,has not had algae in the past, we could ask for awater check. We should post a sign, “Swim at yourown risk” as that is routinely done on Alberta lakesby municipalities with algae problems. There are nocattle or crops immediately surrounding the pond,just hay.

We asked for the owner’s insurance, he should havea commercial policy with $5MM liability like ourpolicy and we should be named on his policy for theevent and we can name him also on our policy.

The budget had some issues, there was a minimalplus balance. Robin was in agreement that theAlberta trial should be giving more back to thePWDCC given the support the PWDCC has provided,and they are very grateful for both the equipmentand the ability to have a trial.

There was a charge for camping with no expenseagainst that. The club has some exposure, as charg-ing for camping is rather outside our mandate as aclub, we can charge for events but not for camping.We discussed having the owner charge for camping,and deducting that from his rental fees. So Robinwill go back to her committee. The fee is currently$45 per entry, with day-off and move-ups at$55.00. In Ontario in 2009 we charged $60, so wediscussed increasing to $55 per entry to improvetheir bottom line.

The capital expenditure of markers will be movedout of event budget. The BC markers are 6’ long fordeep lakes. So they must build 3’ markers for thispond. There are issues with the depth and dogs whotouch bottom while swimming are disqualified.

The club should be named on owner’s insurance.The property owner is somewhat laisse faire on theissue of insurance. When you charge for something,there is a more stringent level of liability. If there isan accident or incident, we need to be indemnifiedas we have some exposure. We should make that acondition of the trial going forward.

The Water Trial committee has to approve the depthand the site. 4’ depth is a concern. Let’s table fur-ther discussion until we see the owner’s insuranceand we hear from the WT committee and we receiveRobin’s revised budget.

New Business

New Policy on the Breeder listing on ourclub web siteIn discussion with the program coordinator CindyBerube we are recommending some changes tomake administering the program easier. We havechanged the Litter Due listing form to a BreederReport form. Every time a breeder has a pregnantbitch, they must send in the Report form, with thelitter’s parent’s health testing and indicate on theform if they want a litter due listing form. ThenCindy can get the New Puppy packages to eachbreeder in a timely manner with the correct number.The form also outlines the changed policy.

Roslyn moved to replace the Litter Due listing formwith the Breeder Report form, seconded by Lori.Approved.

Next meeting is May 17th, 8pm EST.

Motion to adjourn by Glenda, seconded by Roslyn.Approved.

This issue we’re lucky to have both a puppyand a senior for our Pupograpy section, enjoy,thank you Loki and Tru!

NAME: Loki Le Voyageur Charbr.

NICKNAMES: Loki.

DATE OF BIRTH: October 26, 2011.

LEADER OF MY PACK: Alain & Josée.

EDUCATION: I have completed my puppy classes and I amnow in level 2 obedience. Apparently I’m a natural!!! It helped

that I had awesome breeders to start me up in life.

LEISURE TIME ACTIVITIES: I love to go into the lake,preferably with ice cubes still floating. I also enjoy grabbing

the rope attached to the neighbor’s dock attempting to carry

it home!!!

PET PEEVE: PLEASE… I am not a Labradoodle! Why are

they trying to imitate the perfect dog, just get a PWD!

FAVOURITE NON-CONSUMABLE: Josée’s wool slip-pers.

SPECIAL SKILL: When hiking, I can climb like a mountaingoat. I can also, without being asked, put my paws on the

table and enjoy a cold glass of milk without spilling any.

BIGGEST CATASTROPHE: Nothing major as of yet,butoops, I did like those BBQ sausages and beef patties

while the family was busy talking.

BATHING AND GROOMING TOLERANCE: I love toshower, I don’t mind the clipper but I still don’t like having

my face groomed… and certainly not having my ears plucked!.

TOYS OF CHOICE: My old Christmas raccoon softy and,of course, a good stick, preferably of the hardwood variety!

MOST ASHAMED OF: Hmmmm… I’m still a puppy,

have no regrets!

WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO BEWHEN I GROW UP:As good a swimmer as my adoptive parents.

Loki lives with Alain Delorme & Josée Thériault in

Sudbury Ontario .

NAME: Shiru Helm’s Alee Tru North.

NICKNAMES: Tru.

DATE OF BIRTH: 9 July 2002 (I’m Canadian by birth).

LEADER OF MY PACK: Jo Forsythe (well, OK, DougForsythe as well).

EDUCATION: Junior Water Dog.

LEISURE TIME ACTIVITIES: Working at being helpful24/7, my mission in life; accompanying Jo on our lovely annu-

al 6 week-long cross-continental drives, mooching snacks at

home with PWD housemates Beamer and Cailie.

PET PEEVE: That incorrigible two year old Cailie who canoutrun me, but not outsmart me (yet).

FAVOURITE NON-CONSUMABLE: Bamboo plants,which I chew with relish, regurgitating neatly bound bundles

of it on the rug.

SPECIAL SKILL: Giving that devoted, soulful “look”that melts hearts.

BIGGEST CATASTROPHE: None – I am quite perfect,

you know.

BATHING AND GROOMING TOLERANCE: High, thegroomers say I’m comfortable there, but I have to tremble

and look fearful to increase Mum’s guilt at leaving me.

TOYS OF CHOICE: Ball, squeakies, and, anything throwninto thick brush (they cover my eyes but I listen for direction)

so I can seek it out and amaze them.

MOST ASHAMED OF: Sitting adorably in the corner everytime someone walks into the kitchen so they relent and pro-

duce another snack for me.

WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO BEWHEN I GROW UP:Well, I’m grown now but my mission has always been to serve.

I’m proudest when helping Mum find her glasses, phone or

other items by name, giving my shoulder to lean on down the

stairs to the meadow, fetching dropped items, and blocking

the stairway until they hand me something to carry. As you

can see I am careful with the groceries, never dropping a

thing! I am a joy to live with!

Tru lives with Jo and Doug Forsythe in Gig Harbor

Washington. Jo bred under the Helm’s Alee prefix, and

produced many wonderful PWDs. Tru was bred by Ruth

Fisher in Kamloops, under the Shiru prefix, one of the first

breeders of PWDs in Canada.
