BULLETIN - Issue February 2010

Dear Members

Thank you to our many members who have renewed their subs for 2010! And welcome to our new members.

Many of you will have seen the notice about the passing of Capt Ken Hogg, our sincere condolences to Edith and Rho, not only will Ken be sorely missed by his family and friends but he will be a huge loss to dogdom .

Another great sadness was learning of the death of Tony Taylor, husband to Mel, of Dunnolly fame. Our sincere condolences to Mel and all the Taylor family.

With huge sadness we also report the loss of Teresa Lister, one of our new members, in a tragic car accident in Hermanus. Teresa and her husband Bruce purchased a puppy from Vanessa Lodge-Lowe early in 2009. This beautiful little dog showed incredible courage during the accident sitting besides their two year old daughter, fortunately unhurt, all the time whilst Bruce was trapped in the vehicle. Their other little dog a terrier cross was also killed in the accident. Our thoughts and prayers are with Bruce and his family at this time.

We are pleased to report that our President Rose- Marie Cabion is making an excellent recovery from her recent op and stint in hospital and we all wish her a speedy return to good health!

The LRKC has just completed a very busy few months, thank you to everyone who helped in anyway and to those of you who attended the various events. More details and photos will be seen in our latest November edition of LAB LINES Anyone still wishing to submit material for LAB LINES is welcome to forward it to the Hon Secretary BEFORE the end of OCTOBER 2009.

Dave Fowler
We were all truly saddened to learn of the untimely passing of Dave after a heroic battle with cancer on 20th September 2009. Dave was known to many of us in the wingshooting and field trialing community as well as those of us who spend time with our dogs at Walkhaven. Our sincere condolences to Lorna, Ashleigh and all Dave’s family and friends.
LABRADOR RETRIEVER KENNEL CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW 2009
WODAC JULY 17 – 19 2009

Ruth Bots and Amanda Pybus set up the LRKC stand on Friday morning.

Maggie was responsible for labbing the stand most of the time although Vanessa Lodge Lowe’s dogs, Annie and Angus and Anne Moore’s Toby also did a shift. Anne Moore, Eleanor Lemmer, Audrey Bryant, Vanessa and Gail Baty all helped out with shifts on the stand.


Joel van Stavel trainer at Guide Dogs drew the raffle which
was won by Andrea Papler and her dog Lucy

An amount of R730.00 was raised towards the purchase of a mechanized wheelchair for SA Guide Dogs Association. This is the start towards the required R13000.00 the LRKC is hoping to raise. There was a huge amount of interest from the general public; people loved the photos which showed just how versatile Labs can be. In general people were looking for a nice family pet that would be good with children and easy to train - so Maggie was an excellent representative for the breed as she stoically “smiled” while being hugged, cuddled, enthusiastically petted and even laid upon by several small children all at the same time, and all holding bags of sweets, or ice creams and suckers!

A large number of enquiries were received for reputable breeders so it will be interesting to get feed back from breeders on whether they received calls from people who visited the show.

2ND OPEN SHOW 25th July 2010 Judge: Mr Steve Landon
BREED SEMINAR Friday 25th September 2009
Edgecombe House Midrand

Our Championship Show Judge, Mrs Dale Elliott, gave an excellent Breed Seminar on the Labrador Retriever, extremely informative and useful to all those who attended. Sadly it was not well attended!

After the Seminar delicious snacks and a cash bar was made available by the ever generous Russell Milburrow – Thank You Russell! We all enjoyed the wonderful ambience of Edgecombe House and the beautiful Spring evening! Anyone, breeder, judge, exhibitor, who is really interested in our breed and its welfare should make every effort to attend Seminars such as these. There is always something new to learn. We all need to be able to constructively criticize our breeding and look for areas on which we must improve if we are to raise the quality of Labradors in South Africa both in the field and the ring.

SAGA Carnival of Dogs Sunday 4th October

Sadly, due to a shortage of available Committee Members and helpers due to illness and unforeseen circumstances we had to cancel the LRKC attendance at this fun event this year. We wish SAGA every success for the day! * * *

UPDATE ON LRKC FUNDRAISER FOR SAGA MOTORIZED WHEELCHAIR

As mentioned in the July Bulletin, in view of the versatility of the Labrador Retriever and the popularity of the Breed, with particular emphasis currently on pure bred breeds being “fit for purpose”. The LRKC Management Committee has decided to raise funds for a motorized wheelchair for dog training purpose at SA Guide Dogs.

The amount we are required to raise is R13,000.00.

R1000 was raised at WODAC and the 2nd Open show and R860.00 was raised at the LRKC Championship Show selling the liver bread bait and raffle tickets. Thank you to Sharron Stadler for the generous donation of the liver bread – much appreciated by all handlers, and to Royal Canin for the lovely raffle prize! Any member wishing to make a donation for this very worthy cause is welcome to make a payment directly to the LRKC bank account CLEARLY REFERENCING YOUR

XYLITOL WARNING - BEWARE
Taken from the UK Our Dogs News October 2008 ..."Last week I once again commented on the danger to dogs of Xylitol, the popular sweetener, having previously mentioned the adverse effects of this product last year. ... Two dogs, a Poodle and an Apso, apparently stole some home cooking, which contained Zylitol sweetener. In no time at all, both had bled internally and died. Do take care. Sadly , our dogs are not averse to helping themselves from kitchen worktops where home cooking has been left to cool, do make sure that everything (including human medication) is well out of paw reach.

The Labrador Retriever Kennel Club
A Celebration of Fifty Years

Synopsis
The Labrador Retriever Kennel Club (LRKC) has embarked on an ambitious exercise to celebrate the first fifty years of the Club’s existence. Regrettably, in the pre-digital era, there was a reliance on those pioneers of the breed to record the early days of the LRKC, the dogs, the members and the club activities, committees came and went and, inevitably, some history was lost over time. However, 2008 and the 50th Anniversary of the LRKC provided an ideal opportunity to create a Celebratory Book to record for posterity what information, history and records are available – be they anecdotal or formal records. The book is to be modelled on a similar publication that was generated by the Labrador Retriever Club (of England) to celebrate its 75 year anniversary.

For Labrador owners and anyone interested in the breed it is important to be reminded of the origins of the Labrador. There are many versions given in the numerous existing books on Labradors but the LRKC book commences with a useful and insightful summary of the various theories with respect to the world’s most popular dog.

From the arrival and development of the breed in England we move to the arrival of Labradors in South Africa and first registrations with the KUSA, before introducing George Jenkin, the Club’s founder and a World War II hero who dedicated his life to Labradors. The Club is fortunate because George provided a handwritten version of his recollections of the LRKC’s foundation and its early days (including the politics!) before he died in 2007.

In the next chapter those dogs and kennels are highlighted that have had the most significant impact in South Africa and laid the foundation of a breed that now consistently ranks in the top three most numerous registrations with the KUSA. Reviewing the more recent and current kennels, one continues to see how certain British bloodlines have stood the test of time and also how our breeding has been strengthened by imports from different parts of the world including the USA.

The origin of Field Trials is described together with the role of the LRKC in establishing Retriever Trials in South Africa, an activity essential both to the past of the Labrador and to its future. After an outline of the early working tests, the book contains some fascinating anecdotes from the early years and the challenges that were faced by the organisers of these events. This chapter provides a very useful introduction to retriever field trials for readers who are unfamiliar with an activity that has become synonymous with the breed and been around almost as long as Labradors.

The other key activity enshrined in the Club’s Constitution is the holding of breed shows to evaluate the conformation of South African Labradors, and chapter six provides an outline of the purpose and structure of such events. Most often it is the top show winners who will have the greatest influence on the breed’s future quality and development and descriptions of some of the top dogs are given. To understand the key breed characteristics that a judge looks for in the show ring, refer to chapter eight for an excellent pictorial presentation of the Labrador breed standard.

The book continues with a description of the breed’s versatility. One of the Labrador’s best known roles is that of guide-dog for the blind and the LRKC’s long relationship with the South African Guide-Dogs Association is described. There are also some accounts about other important functions or roles that Labradors have fulfilled in South Africa.

The book concludes with a comprehensive selection of breeders’ advertisements and a useful section giving the pedigrees of the influential dogs in South African going back several generations. If you would like to advertise in the book please click here to download the necessary documentation.

This book is a must for all LRKC members and indeed anyone who owns or has an interest in Labradors.
