OBEDIENCE ATTENTION TRAINING Brenda Cox • [email protected] Obedience is a versatile venue with applications for daily Another attention helper is the first step. Most folks go too life. For instance we need basic behaviours like wait at the far and the dogs falls off the cliff and has the opportunity door or car, and don’t pull on the leash, i.e. walk nicely, to look around, then they get “popped” (i.e corrected) for or a solid sit and down. Beyond that, where and what else looking away. Instead take one step, sit, yes! Good dog! can you do to get your dog manners proofed to enter an Feed. Again one step, mark - praise - feed - repeat a few obedience show with confidence? times. always try to play with a toy in between to reengage the dog in play.

I offer 4, 1, never going past ten steps for just a bit and always online training for anyone interested in, please contact me. keeping that first step in there. In the learning/showing the dog the new beginning steps, we have food on our Another option is private lessons with one on one right pocket, only going for the food after praise. Going instruction, that is super helpful in learning, getting and back to the treats on the table would be a form of proofing keeping attention. That is what most folks talk about when this idea also. they enter the ring - my dog just doesn’t pay attention, or my dog is super distracted by other dogs. what can one Now the idea starts forming in the dog to want to perform do? to get that food, not because we have food on our persons. The second form of proofing would be treats no longer Attention is not hard to get if you learn what makes the on you, and silence for the heel part, but praise (always in dog tick. For example, if the dog has food drive, we always place), then release and go to table for food. Don’t be too have food on us, in our pocket. The dog knows this and quick to release. Praise what you like, sit at side or correct seems very eager to do what is asked for that food in your position and paying attention. When those get marked pocket. In most cases when you remove the food, the dog (timing is everything) in the right spots and then fed - the also knows. No food = no work. Who likes to work for no lights go on for the dog. pay? So when we set the food down, go into the ring and try to perform for several minutes most of the time, “um, food is back there and my mom got weird and no food equals no workie!” Think about this; the next time you train, set the food on the table just out of your training area. Do a couple of easy things the dog knows, praise, then go get a treat. Now we are signaling to the dog lets do something fun, THEN get a treat. 40

BREEDING STRATEGIES FOR MANAGING GENETIC TRAITS Jerold S Bell DVM, Clinical Associate Professor of Genetics, Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine With each new generation of dogs, breeders ask, “How Breeding a dog only once and replacing it with an can I continue my line and improve it?” Aside from offspring allows breeders to improve their chances of selecting for conformation, behavior and ability, breeders moving away from defective genes and also limits the must consider how they are going to reduce the incidence dissemination of defective genes. When dealing with of whichever genetic disorders are present in their breed. disorders for which carriers cannot be identified, the There are no answers that will fit every situation. There number of offspring placed in breeding homes should be are, however, guidelines you can follow to preserve kept to a minimum. breeding lines and genetic diversity while reducing the risk of producing dogs that carry defective genes, or are Autosomal Dominant Disorders affected with genetic defects. Autosomal dominant genetic disorders are usually easy Autosomal Recessive Disorders to manage. Each affected dog has at least one affected parent, but it can be expected that half of the offspring In the case of a simple autosomal recessive disorder for of an affected dog will be free of the defective gene. which a test for carriers is available, the recommendation With disorders that cause death or discomfort, the is to test your breeding- quality stock, and breed carriers recommendation is to not breed affected dogs. To produce to normal-testing dogs.

As each breeder tests A problem with some autosomal dominant disorders is and replaces carrier dogs with normal-testing dogs, the incomplete penetrance. In other words, some dogs with problem for the breed as a whole diminishes. the defective gene may not show the disorder. Roughly half their offspring, however, may be affected. If a genetic For some disorders there are tests known as linkage-based test is available, this is not a problem. Otherwise, relative- carrier tests, which can generate a small percentage of false risk assessment can identify which dogs are at risk of positive and negative results. When using these tests to carrying incompletely penetrant dominant genes. make breeding decisions, it’s advisable to first determine whether the results correlate with the test results and Sex-Linked Disorders known genotypes of relatives. For sex-linked (also known as x-linked) recessive defective When dealing with a simple autosomal recessive disorder genes for which carrier tests exist, breeders should follow for which no carrier test exists, breeders must assess the same “breed and replace” recommendations as are whether each individual dog in their breeding program outlined above in the discussion of autosomal recessive is at high risk of being a carrier. This requires knowledge disorders. If there is no test, the defective gene can be of the carrier or affected status of close relatives in the traced through the pedigree. If a male is affected, he would pedigree. An open health registry that is supported by have received the defective gene from his carrier mother. the parent club makes it easier for breeders to objectively All of his daughters will be carriers, but none of his sons. assess these matters. By determining the average carrier- By using relative- risk assessment to breed him to a female risk for the breeding population, breeders can select that is at low risk of being a carrier, you can prevent matings that have a projected risk which is lower than the affected offspring, and select a quality son for replacement. breed average. There are rare instances in which a female is affected If breeding a dog that is at high risk of being a carrier, the with a sex-linked disorder. In such cases, she would have best advice is to breed to a dog that has a low risk. This received the defective gene from both parents; specifically, will significantly diminish the likelihood that affected an affected father and a mother who is either a carrier or dogs will be produced, and can reduce by up to half the is affected herself. If an affected female is bred, all the sons risk that there will be carriers among the offspring.

Sex-linked dominant disorders are managed the same way as autosomal dominant disorders are. The difference is that affected males will always produce all affected daughters. 41

If a dog is diagnosed with a genetic disorder, it can be replaced with a normal sibling or parent and bred to a With polygenic disorders, a number of genes must mate whose risk of having liability genes is low.

This issue focuses on the 2021 National Specialty. Congratulations to all who took home ribbons in the venues they participated. The previous issue featured the 2020 National; with two Nationals in one year; COVID-19 has put a different spin on almost everything we do! The next issue highlights our stud dogs. Each stud dog entry receives a one-quarter color formatted page for $40.00. Last year’s submission can be rerun, with updated info or photo if needed. New advertisers will need to submit their dog’s registered name and titles, DOB, health check information or CHIC number, pedigree and up to 25 words about the dog. Lastly, I thought of another feature section, “Blast From The Past”, $40.00 per one-quarter color page. If we receive enough responses, there will be a section honoring our Beardies from the past, who no longer compete in conformation/ performance, but are still very much with us Their days of being advertised for accomplishments in our magazine may be over, but maybe we can have this special section to honor them. Isn’t your Beardie worth $40.00? I hope you do advertise. Lillian Esposito Editor 42 Volume 51 No. 3 Beardie Bulletin
