PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Hi Everyone
We’re now a month past the shortest day but I can’t say I’ve noticed any difference in the
morning. It’s still dark when I get up. None the less, the weather should improve for our events
although you couldn’t have got a better winter’s day than last Saturday for Hobart Dog Club.
The State Final of the Junior Handlers was held in early July and was very successful.
Congratulations, to all the winners and also to Rachael Holloway and her committee for all the
work they put in to ensure everything went smoothly. Mia Metzger will represent Tasmania in
the National Final and we wish her all the best.
The final draft of the Constitution has been released for member comment. It has been prepared
by a Working Party consisting of two members with legal and administrative experience and I
am ex officio but I have not attended many sessions wishing to leave it to the experts. A Special
General Meeting of members to consider it will be held in the third quarter this year.
The Executive Officer and I were invited to meet with the Animal Welfare Advisory Committee
to discuss the review of the AW Act. A full report was posted on our Facebook page. We will
keep members informed as we receive more information.
The office has been made aware of non members seeking to purchase frozen semen presumably
for the breeding of non registered dogs. Please establish that a purchaser is bona fide before
selling semen.
The grant deed for the additional works at Pontville has been finalised and the work will
commence soon which will then enable the shed to be completed. Many thanks to David Strong
from Tassie Flying Paws for applying for and helping to expedite this grant.
The problems in Victoria and New South Wales seem to ensure we will continue in a state of
uncertainty about mainland judges arriving.
The way this wave of COVID has spread and the virility of the variant means we are far from safe
in Tasmania. Please observe all COVID requirements and keep yourself safe
I think we should all thank Teena Sloan who in addition to the virtual show is organising a raffle
for the benefit of Katelyn Smith (Innes). I think when the proceeds are announced you will be
amazed at the amount. Of course thanks also has to go to all members who have supported the
show and raffle. You are all so generous.
                                                                          David Sales, President

                                                    ANKC LTD
                              ATTENTION: AFGHAN HOUND OWNERS
                         In accordance with Regulations Part 6 – The Register & Registrations
                         Section 1.11 an online survey is now available from the link provided
                         below where ANKC is seeking feedback from owners of Afghan Hounds
regarding proposed minimum breeding age requirements. Details of the proposal and
rationale are noted below for reference:
PROPOSAL:
The ANKC Ltd and the ANKC Ltd National Canine Health and Wellbeing Committee
recommend that:
The ANKC Ltd have resolved to conduct a Survey of all Afghan Hound owners recommending
that Litter Registration Limitations are to be applied to litters mated on or after 1June 2022:-
The Minimum Breeding Age for Afghan bitches is 24 months at the time of mating (unless a
veterinary certificate is produced stating that for health reasons the bitch should be mated
before 24 months)
If litter registration limitations are approved for the Minimum Breeding Age for Afghan Hound
bitches, breeders of litters whelped on or after 1 June, 2022, will be required to comply with
the requirements as a prerequisite to registration of any litter on the ANKC Ltd Main Register.
Litters which do not meet the above requirements will only be able to be placed on the
Limited Register and will be flagged not to be upgraded.
A majority of registered owners within the breed and responding to this survey must be in
favour before approval is given by the ANKC Ltd.
RATIONALE:
The National Afghan Hound Breed Council does not presently have any rule regarding the
minimum breeding age for Afghan Hound bitches so is governed by ANKC Regulations Part 6
Clause 8.2 which states ‘the minimum breeding age for bitches across all breeds is 12 months
at the time of mating.’
It is considered that an Afghan Hound bitch:
• is not of adequate maturity to be bred at 12 months of age as she is still developing at this
    age
• the Afghan bitch’s health is of prime concern to responsible breeders
The online survey can now be accessed from: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NWC7NF2
The link is also available from the ANKC website at: http://ankc.org.au/AboutUs/?id=3298
Please note responses to the survey are required by COB 8 October 2021.

AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL KENNEL COUNCIL LTD
                    PRESS RELEASE
       EMERGING DISEASE – EHRLICHIOSIS IN DOGS
Ehrlichiosis is a tick borne disease affecting primarily dogs. It is not transmitted from dog to
dog, transmission only occurs through infected ticks, the main one being the brown dog tick.
The brown dog tick is widespread throughout mainland Australia. No brown ticks have been
found in Tasmania. While ticks are mostly coastal, they can be found further inland.
Ehrlichiosis is the disease that is caused by a tick borne bacteria called Ehrlichia Canis. Once
a dog has been bitten by an infected tick, there are three stages of infection:–
1. Acute or early phase (3-4 weeks)
2. A subclinical phase (months to years)
3. Chronic or long term stage (months to years)
Symptoms include fever, lethargy, enlarged lymph nodes, loss of appetite, discharge from the
eyes and nose, weight loss, anaemia and bleeding disorders such as nosebleeds or bleeding
under the skin that looks like small spots, patches or bruising.
The severity of symptoms varies considerably between dogs. The incubation period is one to
three weeks after the tick bite, but the chronic form may not manifest for months or years
following infection. PCR and ELISA tests give the most accurate diagnosis along with
comprehensive blood tests. Affected dogs require veterinary treatment and supportive care,
the earlier this is diagnosed and treated the better. Usually these dogs are treated with
tetracycline drugs for a minimum of four weeks, shorter treatment periods may result in
subclinical carriers. Seronegative PCR tests will indicate if the infection has cleared.
If not properly treated these dogs can and do die.
Distribution
This disease can be found worldwide, particularly in tropical and subtropical areas. Once the
disease is in the brown dog tick population, it is very difficult to control. German Shepherds
and Siberian Huskies are predisposed to develop more severe signs of disease with a worse
prognosis (reduced cell-mediated immune response).
In extremely rare cases, infected ticks may infect people, however the species of Ehrlichia
that affects humans have not yet been detected in Australia.
Ehrlichosis is a nationally notifiable disease and the government is conducting surveillance
testing of dogs, particularly in the far north of Western Australia, Northern Territory and far
north Queensland. The Kimberly and Pilbara regions are two areas affected in Western
Australia, along with Katherine and Alice Springs in the Northern Territory.
Dogs from affected areas are being monitored and their movement limited. Dogs moving
from these areas could be required to be tested prior to movement and only travelling with
healthy dogs that are on an effective tick control program.
Prevention
Maintain dogs on a tick control program – ensure you do not run over time before treating
again, even two to three days late could cause issues.                  continued on page 29
