warrant at Dashin Dogs
Duessa and the proper colour dogs x
Our condolences go to Janet and her family, who sadly lost
their lovely rescue dog, Cara. Unfortunately Cara ran
after a deer and got onto a road, where she was hit by a van.
Cara was a beautiful and gentle natured dog. She had only
just started agility, but her confidence was building each week, and
will be greatly missed.
Congratulations to Duessa with Jess for winning another grade 5
agility at 5 Rivers, and to Sue Williams with Rhum for winning
a grade 4-5 agility at Derbyshire.
Many thanks to you all for your support and well
wishes after the devastating news about Toby. He's had his 2nd
session of chemo. today and is making good progress. Once we've built
his fitness up, he's allowed to do agility so long as enjoys it and
doesn't exhaust himself - so you haven't seen the back of us yet! He's
getting used to endless tummy tickles at the vets and will expect the
same from you all. Love, Ros & Toby.
From all at Whirlwind we would like to send our love and hope to Ros
with Toby. Toby has just been diagnosed with cancer and although
he is currently been given chemo, the vets say his future is not long
term. Ros says 'At the moment he's surprisingly perky though
resting alot (he's not allowed any exercise at all - even gentle
walking) - eating well so hopefully we'll see his weight go up a bit.'.
Toby has had a fantastic agility year and has a great bond with Ros, so
this news is very sad. Please send your positive thoughts.
Wow, what a weekend, WELL DONE!! to;
Sallie Armstrong with Oz for winning and qualifing for
the Adams Derby
Matt Goodliffe with Buddy for winning and qualifing for
the Gensis Final, and also winning another agility, plus more places

DANGEROUS HUSKY KILLS OTHER DOG ON WHITMOOR
COMMON
Dear Sir/ madam I would like to
report a dangerous dog which attacked and killed my jack russel on whitmoor
common near Guildford last saturay 3rd June 06 between 9 and 10
pm. This dog was a husky , I believe it was a Siberian type husky. It is about
the size of a german shepherd. mostly white with some darker markings. It also
had very piercing blue eyes.
Now the reason I am reporting this
incident is out of concern for the dog which killed mine and concern that the
owner (a woman middle aged wearing a white top with blue slacks and with
platinum, short hair and dark eye make up ) had no control over it as it was
not on a lead . it did not respond to her calling it as it came across us and
our dog and instantly attacked. She had a note of fear in her voice as she was
calling as if she had this happen before. My dog a small Jack russel tried
bravely to stand up for herself before trying to get away as the husky grabbed
her. My friend somehow managed to get the husky off by grabbing it and trying to
force open its jaws . the husky did eventually submit to him and let my dog go.
My dog ran off a short distance but even I could see she was done for as her
intestines were hanging out of her. We managed to get her to the vet where the
woman who owned the husky said she would meet us , she never showed up and the
vet was closed. We had to rush her into farnham vets after we found that
another emergency vet was busy. She was put to sleep 2 hours after being half
gutted alive by a dog who had no business running loose anywhere let alone
whitmoor common. I am trying to circulate this story to warn as many dog owners
as possible especially those with children too as this dog may well attack
anything small that moves in a “prey” like manner.
The fact that there was no warning
from the owner or from the dog shows that this dog was out of control. An
offence under the dangerous dogs act which I enclose a section of underneath
this text.
What makes this worse was that the
woman ran off without staying to see if we could be helped nor did she turn up
at the vet like we asked her too. Now im saddled with the loss of my best
friend and vets bills to boot. I wish to find her so I can prosecute her and
have the husky assessed for retraining I DO NOT WISH IT TO BE DESTROYED IF
POSSIBLE. I believe that she is an irresponsible owner and needs to take
responsibility before this tragedy happens again with another dog or a child. I
have reported the incident to the police and the dog warden. I included the
incident number for those who may wish to contact the police if they have any
information. I believe however that this lady will not come back to whitmoor
common for sometime and may indeed go to other commons in the area and put
others at risk. The surrey wildlife trust is putting up warning notices on
whitmoor common but I fear that other dog walkers will be unaware in other
areas. Pleas contact me if you know this dog or its owner so I can reclaim my
vets fees and make sure another tragedy does not occur… I have just spoken to
the police who have given me an incident number on the phone but have admitted
that they will do nothing about this as it is down to the dog warden, even
though this Is a a criminal offence on the part of the dog owner. I am disgusted
that the taxes I pay do not even entitle me as a dog owner , to the protection
and investigation by the police even though a criminal offence has been
committed.I know it was “only” a dog but she was my friend and who knows ?
maybe a child will get attacked before anything is done? God forbid. Scott

Dangers of feeding dogs GREENIES
I have a warning to pass on with a story to tell of my
own..... On the way back from the Dobe National this year, I was walking one of
the dogs at the airport waiting for the owner to return our rental car when the
dog decided to throw up.....I was shocked to see a mass of green rubber-like
material and immediately called the owner. The mass looked like something you
would see in the pad under a carpet. I was assured the dog did not shred
anything...and that the only thing the dog had been given to eat recently was a
"Greenie"...one of those formed green dog treats that are supposed to clean the
teeth and are shaped like a toothbrush. I couldn't believe one of those
pressed dog treats would reconstitute into what looked like a mass of green
foam rubber pieces! Well, after getting home my friend and I did an
experiment....cut up one of those things and soaked it in water overnight....low
and behold a huge and I mean huge! mass of foam rubber crap! Certainly NOT
digestible! We both made a note to never feed those things again...and
then last night in the Seattle area the newscast did a piece on...you guessed
it GREENIES! A whole story about how dogs are DYING from blockages after eating
those stupid things! Here is a link to the article....turns out they are NOT
100% digestible....DUH!
Well
Done to Joanne Apostolou with Zellik for qualifying for the ABC at Newton
Heath. Sue and

Dangers of Feeding Dogs' Grapes and Raisins From Alison Stewart
My 4 ½
year old Lab managed to get hold of a bunch and within 24 hours was diagnosed
with acute kidney failure, he is still seriously ill and I would not like to see
other people watching there pets get so poorly so quickly. My vet was unaware of
the fact grapes are toxic in large quantities, but fortunately for me the nurse
had read something in passing so bloods were taken very quickly.
It is still too early to say
what Scooby’s outcome will be, but the death rate from cases in America would
appear to be 50:50. If this could just get people talking and thinking
twice of using these foods as training treats it would be a great start to
preventing these deaths or at least getting them treatment early. As yet
the reasons are unknown as to what causes the problems but pesticides and sprays
have been ruled out.
Well done Richard Outten & Jess
for coming 2nd in Open Jumping at Haybarn Ltd show. From Karen
