Hello everyone
I trust you all enjoyed a great holiday season and that you are still sticking to your New Year’s resolutions!
I hope you received our eco-friendly Christmas greeting sent in the form of an e-card and also the email
giving you some important dates for your diary? Our first big event is our AGM which will be held on 28th
March at my home. We are looking forward to welcoming you all to this event. As we don’t often have
the opportunity to socialise without our dogs interrupting us, we invite you all to stay after the meeting
and enjoy a light lunch with us. Please don’t forget to RSVP!
Your committee is also hard at work arranging the Cape Terrier Club Annual Non-Championship Show.
As the WC Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club plus the WP Bull Terrier Club will be sharing the venue, this promises
to be a great event - which I really hope you will all support!
We will be conducting an experiment with the show entry form this year. Enclosed in this newsletter is our
new, simplified version of an entry form for open shows ONLY! This is to assist the first-time exhibitors who
find the official KUSA show entry form a little daunting! Please use
this form - and let us know if you think we should use it again in 2010!
Please remember to send me snippets of interesting information for
the next newsletter which will be published in June! We would love
to have an article from you / a few puppy photos from your brag
book / anything of interest to our readers!
Looking forward to seeing you ringside!
Kind regards
Joyce Goldschmidt

A VET’S TALEA VET’S TALEA VET’S TALEA VET’S TALE
A client brought a litter of puppies to my veterinary clinic for inocula-
tions and worming. As the look-alike pups squirmed over and under
one another in their box, I realized it would be difficult to tell the treated
ones from the rest. So I turned on the water faucet, wet my fingers, and
moistened each dog's head when I had finished. After the fourth
puppy, I noticed my talkative client had grown silent. As I sprinkled the
last pup's head, the woman leaned forward and whispered, "I didn't know
they had to be baptized, too."
I pulled into the crowded parking lot at a Pick ’n Pay Shopping Center and rolled down the car windows to make sure my Bull Terrier Pup had fresh air. She was stretched, full-out, on the back seat and I wanted to impress upon her that she must remain there. I walked to the curb backward, pointing my finger at the car and saying emphatically, "Now you stay. Do you hear me? Stay! Stay!" The driver of a nearby car, a very pretty young lady, gave me a strange look and said, "Why don't you just put it in park"?

My neighbour found out her dog could hardly hear so she took it to the veterinarian. He found the problem was hair in its ears and cleaned both ears and the dog could
hear fine.
The vet told the lady if she wanted to keep this from reoccurring she should go to the store and get some 'Nair' hair remover and rub in the dog's ears once a month.
The lady went to the chemist and got some 'Nair' hair remover. At the register, the
chemist told her, 'If you're going to use this under your arms, don't use deodorant for a few days.'
The lady said, 'I'm not using it under my arms.'
The chemist said 'If you're using it on your legs, don't shave for
a couple of days.'
The lady said, 'I'm not using it on my legs either; but if you must
know, I'm using it on my schnauzer.'
The chemist said, 'Stay off your bicycle for a week.'

Dear Members
A review of 2008 inevitably brings to mind some ups and downs for
the dog community. We had to say our last farewells to Bert Finn (ex-
committee member), Denis Ryke (long-time Staffie breeder and Club
member) and also Ivan, husband of Dorothy Myers (our “rosette”
lady). May all the good memories bring some consolation and peace
of mind to family and friends.
But now on a more cheerful note: Over the holiday season beloved
pets get spoilt with a new toy or tasty tit-bits as they are often re-
garded as part of the family – and don’t try to deny that! On the
other hand animal welfare organisations, often with limited resources,
try their utmost to secure a safer and healthier life for unfortunate
animals. And here I must thank you, our caring members, who emp-
tied out cupboards and filled our charity box at the past two shows.
DARG and Fisantekraal Animal Welfare were the worthy recipients of
your bounty. Our Club also donated funds during the past year to the
Animal Rescue Organisation. As we rotate the beneficiaries, we now
invite you to suggest worthy rescue organisations to benefit from
2009’s charity box.
May 2009 be a blessed and happy year for you all. See you at our
AGM on Saturday, 28th March 2009.
Kindest regards

As you may know, our Chair has defected from the Terrier group by buying a Basenji! She may be regretting this decision as she battles to teach this new addition to the family not to chew the Persian rugs, etc! (It is actually such a delinquent that it has earned the name ‘Bliksem’— or something like that!) LEFT: Here Bliksem looks as though butter would not melt in her mouth!

APPEARANCE “Distinctive head with beautiful silky covering, with large, wise, intelligent eyes offset-ting long, low, weaselly body. Short, strong legs; weatherproof coat.” Originally bred to go to ground, the Dandie Dinmont Terrier is a long, low-stationed working terrier with a curved outline. The distinctive head with silken topknot is large but in proportion to the size of the dog. The dark eyes are large and round with a soft, wise expression. Dandie Dinmonts are between 20—28 cm tall at the top of the shoul-ders and can weigh between 8—11 kgs. The dogs are sturdily built with strong bone
structure and ample muscular strength. The sturdy, flexible body and scimitar shaped tail are covered with a rather crisp double coat, either mustard or pepper in colour. Pepper ranges from dark bluish black to a light silvery gray, the topknot is a silvery white. Mustard can range from a reddish brown to a pale fawn, with the topknot a creamy white. TEMPERAMENT The Dandie Dinmont is affectionate and fun-loving and makes a great companion dog. Lively, plucky, determined and willful. Independent and intelligent. Bold, yet dignified. Reserved with strangers and protective of family and home. Good with all well-behaved children and babies as long as they are raised with them from puppyhood. Dominance level varies greatly. Some males can be aggressive with other male dogs in the house-hold while females can be snappy and bad tempered. COAT The hair should be 5 cm long with a double coat: a soft linty undercoat and a harder topcoat - not wiry but giving crisp feel to the hand. The coat should not ‘shed’ down the back, but should lie in pencils caused by the harder hair coming through the softer undercoat. The forelegs have feathers about 5 cm long. Upper side of tail covered with wiry hair, underside not too wiry with neat feathering of softer hair.
In Sir Walter Scott's 1814 Novel, "Guy Mannering", Dandie Dinmont was a farmer who kept six of these distinctive Terriers on his farm. Sir Walter was much amused by the fact that the old farmer only had two different names for any of his dogs. His six dogs were named Auld Pepper, Auld Mustard, Young Pepper, Young Mustard, Little Pepper and Little Mustard. To this day the two colours of the breed are still known as Pepper (bluish black) and Mustard (rich golden brown). The truth of the matter is that a distinctive low to the ground, long backed, rough coated Terrier had existed in the Border Counties since at least the mid 18th century. This game breed had been care-fully bred and much prized by tinker, gypsy and farmer alike.

HISTORY This short legged terrier was developed in the 17th century as an otter and badger specialist in the border country of Scotland and England. The Dandie Dinmont Terrier is named after the jovial farmer in Sir Walter Scott’s novel. Scott also gave the names to the breed's colours, pepper and mustard, which were adopted from the names of Dandie Dinmont's dogs. The Dandie Dinmont Terrier is the only breed to be named after a character in fiction. There are several different theories as to the origin of the Dandie, usually a good indication that nobody actually knows the truth. One of the most popular theories is that a cross between an Ottherhound and some kind of Terrier produced the earliest examples of the breed. Certainly many border farmers would have kept both Hounds and Terriers, so the occasional cross mating would have been inevitable. It is certainly recorded that Terriers would assist the hounds to kill the Otters, whose pelts were of great value. A second theory is that no cross took place but that the breed gradually evolved from the rough-haired Terriers of the Border District. A third theory is that the breed resulted from a Terrier/Dachshund cross, but quite how a German Dachshund would find its self in the Scottish Borders in the early 1700s is anyone's guess. What is more likely however is that the Dandie was crossed with the Smooth Dachshund to produce the Wire Haired Dachshund. But that's another story.
One of the most well known dogs in the history of the breed
was "Old Pepper". This dog was alleged to have been caught in a trap on the estate of the 5th Duke of Buccleuch (Walter Francis -1806-1884), hence his pedigree is unknown, but this dog went on the be the founding father of today's modern day Dandie Dinmont. His son was Mr E B Smith's "Old Ginger", whose name can be found right at the back of every Dandie Dinmont alive in the world today. The Dandie Dinmont Terrier Club is the third oldest breed club in the world, having been formed on November 17th 1875 at the Fleece Hotel, Selkirk.
ENDANGERED Today the Dandie Dinmont is amongst the rarest and most endangered of all pure-bred dogs. The UK Kennel Club list the Dandie as one of the UK's Vulnerable Native Dog Breeds and there is a very real chance of the breed becoming extinct. On 9th March 2008, at Crufts, the British and Irish Dog Breeds Preservation Trust held a parade of Vulnerable Native Breeds. It was noted that, in 2006, there were only 27 Dandie Dinmont Terriers registered at UK Kennel Club. Most of the vulnerable breeds are working dogs (terriers), hunting hounds, and gun dogs (from country estate shoots).

Britain's Purebred Dog Controversy
FROM THE TIMES (LONDON), Sept. 16: ‘The RSPCA cut its links with Crufts yesterday as a leading charity warned
the organizers of the dog show that they must act to prevent the breeding
of ‘deformed and disabled’ animals.’ “The BBC, which has broadcast the
show for 40 years, is also thought to be on the verge of deciding whether
to continue its coverage.
“The RSPCA’s decision to relinquish its stand at Crufts in March next year
follows a BBC documentary, broadcast last month, that highlighted the
genetic side-effects of an intensive breeding programme. Some unhealthy,
inbred animals have won prizes at the show, the programme suggested.”
After years of investigation culminating in the documentary, ‘Pedigree Dogs Ex-posed’, the BBC has decided not to broadcast Crufts in 2009. This is the latest blow to the UK KENNEL CLUB, the purebred dog registry that has hosted the world's most famous dog show since 1928 and which attracts competitors from all over the world. The long-time sponsor Pedigree announced earlier that it will no longer support Crufts. High-profile British charities the RSPCA and the Dogs Trust have also de-clined to set up information booths at this year's show. The BBC had asked the Kennel Club for a compromise in which 14 "at-risk" breeds would not be allowed to compete in the main competitions, including "Best in Show" and group categories. The breeds range from the Basset Hound to the St. Ber-nard; all of them are believed to have severe health or structural issues due to im-proper breeding. (Some unhealthy, inbred animals have won prizes at the show, the programme suggested. A prize-winning Cavalier King Charles spaniel was shown to be suffering from syringomyelia, a painful condition that results from the animal's skull being too small for its brain. A Pekingese, bred to possess a perfectly flat face, and winner of Best in Show in 2003, was found to have had surgery — a soft palate resection — to enable it to breathe.) The Kennel Club declined, claiming that it is doing its part to improve the health of all pedigree dogs. Subse-quently, the BBC dropped the coverage.

I must thank the Committee for inviting me to judge Bull Terriers
at their show. I enjoyed my day and thank those who came for
my opinion. My overall impressions on the day ... Temperaments
were first class, except for one bitch - who was not horrid, just a
little apprehensive and I forgave her a lot, as she is just the type
of bitch that I like, large, white and beautiful ! I do not believe
that we are making much progress in the male of the species - I
found the bitches to be much better. Too many of the young dogs
were too fine in foreface, lacking width under the eyes and for the
first time, I was very conscious of instanding canines. This is not
to say that there were no good dogs, there were, but I was aware
of long backs and awful high tail sets, my least favourite fault.
My CC dog, was only a minor puppy, but I thought he well de-
served the ticket, because of his good head, not overdone, but
with width under the eyes and of good length, lovely neck and well
laid shoulder, excellent topline, good horizontal tail set, well angu-
lated hindquarters and he moved well both ways. I was delighted
to find he was bred out of one of our bitches!!! A Grandfather to
Grand-daughter mating that I have never done, but always wanted
to do, having been told it was the best. The bitch CC, I liked, but
could wish she were better handled – I do prefer the handlers to
stand in front of their dogs, not at the side and particularly not
holding up their tails!!! My Best of Breed, was a substantial bitch
with a lovely feminine head and correct bite, well placed eyes and
ears,
elegant neck, good
straight front, good
strong bone, neat feet,
correct topline – no SA
hammock here – well
placed tail, strong
thighs and second
thighs and of good
angulation, moved
well.

"Adorable mixed breeds" get cancer, epilepsy, allergies, heart disease, and orthopedic problems just like purebreds. I see it every day in my veterinary practice but mixed breed dogs aren't tracked like the purebreds so they have a reputation as "healthier" that is actually undeserved in many cases." All animals have a certain amount of genetic load, which is to say there is absolutely no animal without some genetic problem of some sort of another. Know anyone who wears glasses? Has allergies? Thyroid problems? Weak knees? A skin condition? Arthri-tis? A gap between their front teeth? These are all genetic imperfections. No human is genetically "clean." Neither is any individual of any species on earth. Every single individual of every single species has at least a few genetic conditions. The fanciers of dog breeds, work very hard to eliminate serious genetic conditions. They research pedigrees before breeding into other lines, to check for similar clear-ances in those animals. They have made great progress so far, and they continue to work hard at it. Are there unethical breeders? Certainly, there are. Just as in any group of humans, you will find the good and the bad. Unfortunately, unethical breeders may be a lot easier to find because of their high volume and high profile. If you are looking for a nice family pet from a breeder who will be there for you forever, you need to do due diligence. You won't get that from a pet store. You won't get that from the guy selling dogs out of his pickup truck in the parking lot. You won't get support from a high-volume breeder, either. Yes, it takes a little more time and effort to find someone who really cares and does all the work to breed the healthiest, happiest puppies possible and then stands behind those puppies. Dog Shows are a very valuable resource for finding breeders who do care and who use the best possible practices, as well as for learning more about the various breeds.

THE WC TOP DOG INVITATIONALTHE WC TOP DOG INVITATIONALTHE WC TOP DOG INVITATIONALTHE WC TOP DOG INVITATIONAL REPORT — BY ALWINE PRETORIUS
For those not in the know, the Top Dog Invitational Challenge is a
prestigious annual competition held to elect the Western Cape’s top
show dogs. All WC exhibitors whose dogs, within a given year, notch
up BIS, RBIS, Best Puppy or Group placings at Ch shows are in line
to be invited to the contest. The ten dogs within a Group - eg Terri-
ers - that scored the highest points compete first for a Best in Group
title. This year the Terrier Group consisted of four Bull Terriers
(owners Slabbert, Du Toit, Kock, Louw), a Cairn terrier (De Keller),
a Smooth Fox Terrier (Naude), a Kerry Blue (Griffin), two
Staffordshire Bull Terriers (Ryke, Kroff/Nagel) and a West Highland
White (Schumann-Warren) that vied for BIG. Four Terrier puppies –
two Bull Terriers (Du Toit, Louw), a Scottish Terrier (McFadyen) and
a Staffordshire BT (Joubert) were in the run for Winner Best Puppy.
We are proud to announce that the Terrier Group Winner was:
♦ Machteld Schumann-Warren’s West Highland White: CH
Hopecharm Chase the Wind of MacWarren.
♦ The runner up placing went to Astrid Ryke’s Staffordshire BT
CH Stablon Defiant Maximus of Kilkenny.
Hearty congratulations to these two club members. For all our other
CTC members with dogs in the final count-down: “Well done!”
The overall winners of the
2008 Top Dog Competition
were: Winner – American Cocker
CH Denova Get Over It (Brookes/
Archuleta) and Reserve the Ridge-
back Kangelani Go For Gold at

Our sincere congratulations go to
all these exhibitors who worked
hard all year to achieve these
wins.

AN ARTY DANDIE DINMONT AN ARTY DANDIE DINMONT AN ARTY DANDIE DINMONT AN ARTY DANDIE DINMONT
Now where on earth would you expect to meet an arty Dandie Dinmont other than in the Upper East Side of New York City? And have you ever heard of an art gallery inviting dogs to help themselves to free biscuits and water while their owners are spending their dollars? In 2005, on a trip to New York, I especially paid a visit to the William Secord Art Gallery as the idea of a gallery specializing in 19th and 20th century dog paintings sounded intriguing – and I was not disappointed. Here, amongst dog portraits - many lovely Terrier ones too - literally covering some walls from floor to ceiling, I met William Secord, the President of the Gallery, and his cute Dandie Dinmont. Mr Secord is the author of a few awesome books. Two titles are: “Dog Painting, 1840 – 1940: A Social History of the Dog in Art” ( 1992) and “Dog Painting: The European Breeds” ( 2002). The paintings were beyond my budget, but an autographed copy of the latter title travelled back tucked under my arm, qualifying as “light reading matter” for the flight - as far as I was concerned. Weighing 2,5kg it did not fit into my overweight suitcase at all! To view the Gallery’s exhibitions online, go to www.dogpainting.com. And when in NY go to 52 East 76th Street, between Madison and Park Avenues – you will find it worth your while. And you never know, you just might meet an artistically inclined dog to discuss the paintings with!

A nice, calm and respectable lady went into the pharmacy, walked up to the pharmacist, looked straight into his eyes, and said, "I would like to buy some cyanide." The pharmacist asked, "Why in the world do you need cyanide?" The lady replied, "I need it to poison my husband." The pharmacist's eyes got big and he exclaimed, "Lord have mercy! I can’t give you cyanide to kill your husband. That's against the law! I'll lose my license! They'll throw both of us in jail! All kinds of bad things will hap-pen. Absolutely not! You CANNOT have any cyanide!" The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife. The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, "Well now, that's different. You didn't tell me you had a prescription."
