It has been a long summer! MPBA has already participated in many events this year. Recently, we were at the State Fair; we helped Protect the Harvest at the Boot Daddy Bash Fundraiser, and

the Prez Sez

have been involved in several other events. MPBA voted to make a donation to the Calvary Group. They accomplished a lot last year with their legislative work, mainly in Oklahoma and Arkansas. MPBA will be holding a meeting October 23rd at 1:00 p.m. at the Mill Center in Lebanon, Missouri. We will be discussing the MPBA Inspection Program we are restarting for our members. In addition, we will review our meetings with the Governor’s office and the Missouri Department of Agriculture. Rodney Blosser has been working on a lot of these issues, so if you have any questions, please contact him or me. There is a lot going on right now! We hope to see you at the meeting on the 23rd to inform you about all that is happening and take any questions you might have. Thank you!

phenomenal highs and unbelievable lows. We have just come through a period of unbelievably high prices for pups and the market is currently correcting with unbelievable lows. The stock market is correcting also. The unexplainable trend is that auction prices have remained high. Hope you saved some of the Benjamins when the market was high. The current situation will test your ability to market and stay in for the long haul. Come to the meeting the 23rd of October at the Mills Center in Lebanon, Missouri for some interesting discussions regarding the launch of MPBA’s Inspection Program. Support your local chapter!

PRODUCING HEALTHY, SOCIALIZED PUPPIES FOR PETS Best Practices for

the same goes for Willard and edna Herschberger at their Bernedoodles and Bernese Mountain Dogs of the open Prairie kennel in arthur, illinois. “We regularly social- ize the puppies,” Willard Herschberger says. “When i am cleaning the whelping area, the puppies are eager to help. We introduce them early to household sounds. they learn about the broom and vacuum cleaner. We acquaint them with adults and children.” “our primary focus is on producing healthy puppies,” adds edna Herschberger. “We like to see newly born puppies that are filled out and healthy.”

Breeding dogs that produce quality pets has never been more important in the dog breeding profession. crossing a healthy, high-quality sire and dam is a good place to start, though there are many other considerations along the way. cole Gordon of Hidden View farms in Lancaster, ohio, says, “When someone comes to look at our puppies, we want the puppies to be socialized, friendly, outgoing, and active. We want the same characteristics in the sire and dam. if you have a backward female and the puppies spend the first six weeks with that female, that becomes their example of how to act.”

This healthy litter of 6-week-old F1 black tricolor Standard Bernedoodle puppies was whelped at the Bernedoodles and Bernese Mountain Dogs of the Open Prairie kennel in Arthur, Illinois.

Practicing good nutrition, having a quality water supply, ad- hering to vaccination schedules, staying on top of parasite and flea and tick prevention, and conducting health and brucellosis testing of breeding stock are high on the check list used by Gordon and the Herschbergers. “i find it amazing the positive impact that comes from prac- ticing good basic pregnancy management, feeding a healthy diet and monitoring body condition, allowing moderate exercise throughout pregnancy, and adhering to deworming regimens,” says andrea Hesser, DVM, Dact, a board-certified veterinary reproduction specialist who practices at Josey ranch Pet Hospital in carrollton, texas. feeding a high-quality, complete-and-balanced food is especially important during pregnancy and when weaning puppies. as a breeder of toy- and small-breed dogs, Gordon feeds Purina Pro Plan Puppy toy Breed Puppy to females when bred and to puppies as they are weaned. the Herschbergers feed their large-breed dogs Purina Pro Plan SPORT Perform- ance 30/20 chicken & rice formula. Gordon notes the importance of

ensuring dogs have a fresh, sanitary water supply. “at our kennel, we use an automatic waterer with a nipple,” he says. “this constant fresh water reduces the risk of the growth of bacteria or algae. We also regularly disinfect our well using shock chlori- nation. although we primarily use automatic waterers, we introduce puppies to drinking from water bowls and water bottles attached to a crate, as this is what they may have at their new homes.” “in general, it’s best to update vaccines ahead of time if you know your bitch will be due for vaccina- tion around her estrus cycle, preg-

they are offered in your area makes it handy to test dogs for hip and elbow dysplasia, eye conditions, cardiac disease, Legg-calve-Perthes, an inherited disease causing hindlimb lameness, and dental health related to having a full dentition or correct bite. although brucellosis testing is not performed at the ofa health clinics, this test ensures that dogs do not have the highly con- tagious disease that can lead to infertility, abor- tions and stillbirths caused by the Brucella canis bacterium. Soon to go to new homes, these 8-week-old Mini Golden Doodles were born at Hidden View Farms in Lancaster, Ohio. As adults, they will weigh from 15 to 25 pounds.

Litter size is important, particularly if you run your kennel as your business. Gordon and the Herschbergers say stick- ing to the check list of precautionary measures helps them achieve optimal litter size. “our toy-breed dogs average three to four puppies and our small breeds usually have five to six puppies,” Gordon says. “We’ve found that if litters produce just one more puppy than the average, it really adds up at the end of the year. We seldom have a ‘runt’ in our litters, but if we do, we make sure this puppy gets plenty of nutrition through the mother’s milk to catch up.” “our Bernese Mountain Dog and Bernedoodle females average eight pups in a litter,” edna Herschberger says. “We are very careful to work with our veterinarian who does progesterone testing to determine the ideal time to breed.” “ovulation timing through progesterone testing is used to know the optimal time to breed a female,” Dr. Hesser says. “We advise breeding 48 to 72 hours post-ovulation, as after ovulation the released eggs continue to mature, reaching maturation two to three days later. once the maturation process is completed, the eggs are ready for fertilization.” a great deal of pride is associated with producing puppies that become loving members of a family. as Gordon says, “if you take care of the small details, everything else seems to fall into place.” 

nancy or even into lactation,” Dr. Hesser says. “rabies is a non-negotiable vaccine, and as a killed vaccine, we don’t tend to see a negative impact using this category of vac- cine even given at the last minute. Being overdue for dis- temper, adenovirus and parvovirus combination vaccines may not result in any detriment; however, the veterinarian could check titers to ensure a bitch is protected for an upcoming pregnancy.” Maintaining preventive medications for heartworms, fleas and ticks also is important. “Pregnancy should not change your normal preventive care management,” says Dr. Hesser. “several oral heartworm preventives and topical and oral flea and tick medications have been rigorously studied for safety in pregnant dogs and their fetuses and puppies. Not all products are risk-free. those that are safe for pregnancy should state so on the product label or insert. “it is important to consider that a pregnant dog may exceed the weight range of her original preventive prescrip- tion. should she fall outside this range, most veterinarians will provide single doses for the stages in which she will exceed her original weight range.” Health and brucellosis testing of brood bitches and stud dogs is imperative before breeding. taking advantage of the orthopedic foundation for animals (ofa) health clinics when

December 2017 Daily Observation

The Animal Welfare Act regulations (9 C.F.R. §§ 2.33(b)(3), 2.40(b)(3)) require dealers, exhibitors, and research facilities to observe all animals daily to assess their health and well- being. This may be accomplished by someone other than the attending veterinarian if a mechanism of direct and frequent communication is in place to convey timely and accurate information on problems of animal health, behavior, and well-being to the attending veterinarian. Daily observation of all animals is part of good husbandry practices. It is extremely important that dealers, exhibitors, and research facilities meet this requirement to detect possible problems, including disease and abnormal behavior. Early detection and treatment improves animal outcomes and can save time and money. For example, an animal observed with a small laceration or wound on the day the injury occurred may only require cleaning and minimal medication and treatment, while the same laceration observed several days later may be infected and require more extensive and expensive treatment with a higher risk to the animal’s health and well-being. This Tech Note provides helpful tips on daily observation of animals to assess their health and well-being and spotlights practices licensees and registrants use to ensure effective daily observation of animals. These helpful tips and practices are not mandatory regulatory requirements. WHEN. Generally, it is most effective to observe and assess an animal’s health and well-being as a single and separate task, rather than combining it with other tasks or chores. If daily observations are combined with other tasks, the potential for missing something crucial increases, as the focus is on completing all of the tasks rather than observing the animal. HOW. Observe each animal daily to assess its health and well-being. Carefully observe each animal from head to tail, including each part of its body and behavior, for abnormalities that may indicate a potential problem. Also, look at the feces, and discharge from the animal if there is any, for signs of abnormalities. Establish a consistent method for conducting your daily observations. We encourage facilities to consult with their attending veterinarian on how to perform daily observations of animals. Many facilities have found checklists and similar tools helpful for ensuring daily observations are consistent and effective in assessing animal health and well-being. WHAT. Things to consider when conducting your observations (not limited to the following): Physical attributes: How does the animal look? Are there any abnormalities? Consider handling the animal if safe and appropriate to do so. Not only will you be able to use touch as an observational tool, you will also promote social interactions and neurological well-being.

 Body

• Is haircoat normal? Glossy or dull, hair loss? • Under or over weight? Can you see the ribs? • Itching? Scabbing? Lumps? Bumps? Parasites?

 Head

• Eyes – clear, discharge, winking or blinking excessively? • Ears/Nose – clean, discharge or buildup? • Mouth/Teeth/Gums - clean, buildup (tartar), bleeding or injuries?  Limbs/Extremities • Feet – Nails/Claws/Hooves proper length, wounds or abnormalities? • Joints – calluses, mobility, lameness?

Behavior: Is the animal acting normal? Is the movement or gait normal? Is the animal lethargic or displaying behaviors consistent with sickness, stress, or boredom? Does the behavior change when you move closer or further from the animal? For example, does the animal act stoic and appear to be normal upon closer examination, but when walking away or from a distance the animal appears to have a limp or injury or displays different behavior. Environment: Is the animal’s environment safe? Are environmental controls (temperature, humidity, shelter from elements) adequate for the species and the season? Is the animal:  Huddling or shivering due to cold?

 Panting, or laying stretched out due to heat?  Food and water receptacles used or left alone? o Eating and drinking enough?  Elimination habit normal? o Loose or abnormal stools? o Vomit? Regurgitated food/water?

Animals under veterinary care: Daily observation is required for all animals at the facility whether or not the animals are under veterinary care and/or treatment. However, when observing animals under veterinary care and/or treatment, it is important to observe how the

treatment is progressing. Consider the following:

 Is the treatment working? Is the animal’s health improving, about the same, or worsening?  When should you follow up with your attending veterinarian? If the animal’s condition is worsening or you’ve completed treatment but the animal seems about the same, is it time to call the veterinarian with an update?  What should you be documenting as part of your observation and treatment plan? Discussing the questions above with your attending veterinarian will help you to provide for the animal’s health and well-being. Regularly review, discuss, and update your Program of Veterinary 12

Dog Breeding – Heat Cycle Management Managing breeding dogs involves getting the dam and sire as healthy as possible so that they can do their jobs. Dogs with dietary de ! ciencies often slow or stop cycling, and providing proper nutrition will restart their cycles. As the days get shorter, cycling often slows, but a 100 watt light placed 10 feet from their kennel will usually prevent this issue. Dogs need about 14 hours of light a day, so supplement their natural exposure with four hours of arti ! cial light in the evenings. In the spring, the longer days trigger male sperm count to increase, and female's ovaries become more active again.

In September and again mid-February, we want to evaluate females and determine who has not raised

babies in the past eight months. Dogs who have not been mothers in the past eight months should have their heat cycles triggered to correct this issue; the goal is to get them back to a normal cycle every six to seven months. Common issues seen the past 10 years include unpredictable or delayed heat cycles, females starting in heat then backing out, and split heats, where they come in, go out, and come back in. You can correct these undesirable circumstances with nutrition management. What To Do Evaluate the females in your kennel to see who is overdue for heat cycles. It is common to have 10 percent of females well overdue, but a greater percentage suggests a need to correct the kennel's nutrition. Often, if we have not changed brands of food, the company has reformulated the diet. If your moms cycle predictably every six to seven months, their diet is okay. Look at your females – are they in good shape or overweight? Overweight dogs often lack some nutrient or vitamin and overeat to compensate for this shortage. A balanced diet should correct this. Females that are not cycling should always be placed on a daily vitamin. Doc Roy's ® Daily Care works for large breeds and Doc Roy's ® B Strong for small breeds. Eliminate vitamins as a possible cause of anestrous before trying to trigger the ovary to cycle. Be deliberate about your breeding practices. Don't just run males and females together and hope something happens! Pen breeding takes twice the male power as putting the female in every other day and removing her after a tie, and you have to deal with a dominant female who won't allow breeding. Breeding females every other day also allows males' semen count to stay high. Put males over four years old on Breeders' Edge ® Oxy Stud for three months to maintain sperm count and fertility. Oxy Stud is the treatment for sub-fertile males with low sperm counts.

NEW CLUB!! NORTHERN OZARKS PETS & EXOTICS CLUB CHAPTER The Northern Ozarks Pets & Exotics Club, located in Bolivar, MO, is a new chapter of the Missouri Pet Breeders Association. On June 5th, Sue Swannigan and I travelled to the Show Me Snakes Expo. We talked with vendors and breeders of exotic animals, reptiles, amphibians, and spiders. It was quite an experience for me as I am not fond of the eight-legged critters, but we met lots of wonderful people. We found they were unaware of the MPBA, so we informed them, invited them to come to the meetings, and hopefully they will join the association. One June 12th, we assisted Woof for Vets in Bolivar, handing out free dog food for veterans. I think almost everyone can say they are grateful for the military and all they have done for us, so it is great to see Woof for Vets giving back to them. Our first meeting kicked off on June 22nd. Kevin Beauchamp, president of the Missouri Pet Breeders Association, came and spoke with the attendees about the MPBA, and informed us of what they do for the community, how they offer help to breeders and the ways they are NOW working on laws in the Capitol to protect breeders. Our club meets in Bolivar, Missouri, on the 4th Tuesday of each month. Meetings are held at the Springfield Avenue Cafe at 6:30pm. All are welcome.

WOOF FOR VETS

VETERAN PUPPY PRESENTATIONS

V eterans testimonies prove that M issouri P et B reeders P rovide the “G ift of L ife .” When I discharged out of the Navy in 1998, I was discharged with a disability. It wasn’t until 6 years ago I finally opened up and talked to my wife about my time served. She knew something had been wrong. I had night terrors, fighting in my sleep, severe anxiety and depression. So I went to the V.A. for counseling. They immediately diagnosed me with PTSD. My daughter searched out service dogs for me. She foundWoof for Vets. I applied to themand got a response almost immediately. I talked to Sue and Beverly and they had me a dog in just about a day. Diamond Doodles

donated him. He is a Goldendoodle and is named Bailey. We drove up into Missouri to meet with the wonderful women of Woof for Vets. I had an immediate connection with Bailey. He has changed not only my life but my family and others also. He spends

every minute of the day with me. He knows every move I’m going to make. If I start to panic, or have anxiety, he is right there. He comforts me in a way that I can’t explain. He brings joy to everyone who meets him. He is so smart and humanistic. I can never thank Woof for Vets or Diamond Doodles enough. So please, if you see a vet with a service dog, just know what they’ve been through and how great a need this is in their lives. Thank you very much, Chris Hart

Dog Whiskers Do What?

Can You Cut Dog Whiskers? Most dog physiology experts agree that you shouldn’t cut a dog’s whiskers. A dog’s wiry hairs are key parts of their body for interacting with their environment, protecting themselves, and even communicating with other dogs: Navigation Dogs rely on their whiskers sensory signals to understand how to safely move throughout the area even in the dark!
