Guinness World Record Attempt

At 1 p.m prompt there is a Guinness World Record Attempt at the record for the “Largest Simultaneous Dog Stay” in the main arena. under Guinness World Records™ reference 303386. This record is for the greatest number of dogs who ‘stay’ successfully at a single venue.
The current record as at today’s date is: The largest simultaneous dog stay involved 627 dogs at an event called “Super Sit” organised by the RSPCA at the Wag and Bone Show, Windsor Great Park (UK) on the 6 August 2005.
We think this record should come to Wiltshire and hope you will join us in helping to bring it home!
The Collingbourne K9 Festival, which will become an annual event, will provide a wonderful family day out for dog lovers and raise much needed funds for our four supported charities. There are fantastic displays attractions throughout the day and a Shopping Village.

Collingbourne K9 Festival 2010 is in aid of the following charities

• Help For Heroes is the charity that does exactly what it says on the tin. As far as we know, Help For Heroes is the only charity that can say it is 110% effective – we can guarantee that for every £1 donated, £1.10 will go directly to helping wounded service men and women. So, we do exactly what we say – your donations go directly to supporting the wounded boys and girls.

• The Wiltshire Air Ambulance is a unique service being one of only two air ambulances in the country which work as a joint project with the local police.

• The Air Ambulance Appeal is entirely dependent upon public support to raise the £500,000 a year to keep the service flying. This is only a third of the running costs of the helicopter. The remaining two thirds are funded by the police who use it for various incidents.

• WSBTR is a voluntary organisation that does not receive any government funding. We rely solely on the donations generously provided by our supporters to rescue, rehabilitate, retrain and re-home genuine Staffordshire Bull Terriers that have been abandoned, abused or neglected or are stray dogs in council kennels.

• Staffordshire Bull Terrier Rescue is a voluntary organisation dedicated to providing help to Staffordshire Bull Terriers and their owners. We offer advice and information to the owners and help with re-homing dogs if necessary. Dogs are put into the rescue organisations for a number of reasons. Some are abused, abandoned, neglected or just unwanted. We also get them in rescue because the owners are genuinely unable to look after them through no fault of their own.

If, for one moment on one day, once in a lifetime, you had the chance to ask your dog one, single question – and they were able to answer – what would your question be and what do you imagine your dog’s response might be?

Let us know what YOU’D ask your dog (use the comment form below) and the best ones could be included in a brand new dog book to be published in 2011.

Chance of a Lifetime: What ONE Question Would YOU Ask Your Dog & Why? is a post from: K9 Magazine - The Dog Magazine For Modern Dog Lovers

Leo now leads a new life. A life that many would still argue is impossible. For Leo is not only an ex fighting dog, he is also a Pit Bull Terrier type dog. In the UK, Leo would be dead.  Not helping people, not enjoying his new found life…but dead.

What he actually does is bring comfort to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Please, read his story.

Oh, and let’s think quite seriously about whether we’re happy about this fact, which I shall repeat once again: Leo would be dead if he lived in the UK. Dead, not because of his the illegal fighting his owner used him for.

Dead, not because he’d attacked anyone. No, dead just because of what he is and what he looks like. Are you happy about that?

End bsl.

Gollum Creature Threatens to Eat Children’s Souls

Petrified locals in a South American town are said to be living in fear today after a ‘monster’ crawled out of a lake. The creature has been described as something out of Lord of the Rings, more worryingly though, it is said to have ‘charged’ local school children. Professional Pit Bull identification hexperts have claimed that the animal is “almost certainly a Pit Bull”. Our source told us; “It’s not a perfect Pit Bull, but it’s a Pit Bull all right. You can tell by looking at the jaw.”The monster has struck fear and confusion in to the small, quiet town of Cerro Azul, Panama (which was busy minding its own business) – was first seen on Saturday when some local teenagers were playing by the water.

They reportedly “screamed” when the five-foot (possibly eight-foot, teenagers tend to understate things when they’re speaking to news reporters, it’s probably at least ten-feet) creature emerged from a cave and started clambouring over rocks towards them “as if to attack them”.

The beast is said to be ’slimy’ and contained ‘an evil look in its eye’, but this is – it has to be stated – merely speculative.

Locals who encountered the horror hound had to make a desperate attempt to defend themselves against the monster and resorted to ‘throwing rocks at it’, signalling the undeniable intelligence of man versus the repugnant horror and sickness of nature’s monsters (like Pit Bulls).

The beast is believed to have:

* Sneered and snarled (maybe)
* Stared people down with an evil eye (possibly)
* Ripped open a small child’s teddy bear as the child looked on, distraught (perhaps)
* Threatened to implement a “British-style” public health system across ALL of the United States (it is believed)
* Fought with locals for several hours, culminating in what locals reported as a ‘fire breathing episode’ (unconfirmed)

The youngsters who had encountered the devil dog told their parents about their ordeal but were not believed until the adults went to the shore to see the creature for themselves.

Our professional, well-paid, experienced, court-approved, (possibly) 4-hour trained Pit Bull identification expert told us:

“Yes, that’s a Pit Bull is that. I’ve seen a lot of Pit Bulls, this is one. I’ll concede, it’s not a perfect Pit, but it’s a Pit. Those youngsters were lucky they had rocks to hand. Without adequate defence, this dog would have killed them, their families and possibly wreaked havoc on the local schools for years to come. They prey on children, you see. Little blonde children, normally. That’s a Pit all right. Right down to the lock jaw.”

The incident conjures up memories of the ‘Montauk Monster‘, also believed to be a Pit Bull (but not a perfect one).

Montauk Monster Shocker

Some have speculated that it’s an alien.

Others have said it could be the result of animal genetic experimentation gone awry.

But one of the latest theories put forward is that the so-called Montauk Monster might even be a Pit Bull.

Eye witnesses who have seen the carcass up close, first hand, have said that it looks most like a pig, despite the obvious anomolies with head/snout structure.

Now speculation is abound that the animal could be a dog, specifically a Pit Bull that had drowned and washed up on the beach.

Further speculation has suggested the body is part of a publicity stunt, but for what, nobody knows at present.

Pit Bull Expert Reveals ‘Montauk Monster is Probably a Pit Bull’

Further to the news this morning that a prominent UK breed ID expert officially ruled out the Montauk monster being a Pit Bull type dog, another leading Pit Bull spotter has stepped forward to sensationally claim that the animal could and indeed probably IS a Pit Bull!

The new breed ID expert claims to be more experienced and didn’t obtain her qualification on a four hour course.

The latest expert to comment is an experienced Dangerous Dogs Act breed ID expert who holds no four hour ID course qualification, she holds no qualification at all. But she does have many years experience which she says helps her to ‘know a pit bull when she sees one’.

She told us:

“You really should be less naive than to take the word of a breed Id’r who achieved their status on a four hour training course. I have been identifying these dogs for many years and I’m afraid to say that that animal is no turtle. It’s not even got a turtle’s head. The fact is, there is no such thing as a turtle without a shell, a turtle’s shell is a fundamental fixture of the animal.”

She went on:

“Whilst I agree it is not a perfect pit bull, but it is one.”

We quizzed her on what she meant by ‘perfect pit bull’ given the fact that they are, to all intents and purposes a cross breed by definition – certainly here in the UK.

“What I mean by perfect pit bull is that this particular one lacks some key pit characteristics. It doesn’t have a red nose for a start. In fact, it doesn’t seem to have a nose at all. Which makes it somewhat less than perfect. Also, if you look closely at the animal’s rump and chest you will see no evidence of where the animal would have been pulling 18 tonne weighted carriages. Most pit bulls tend to do this on a semi regular basis. Certainly the perfect pit bulls do. I believe that the animal we are looking at is in fact a pit bull. Just not a perfect one.”

So, there we have it. Breed ID experts are falling out with each other over what the Monster actually is. DNA swabs may confirm the animal to be a pit bull but when we spoke to the UK’s third most prominent breed ID expert she said:

“I’ve never seen this dog, but I think it probably is a pit bull. I’d recommend it be put down.”

Montauk Monster & Gollum Creature Hysteria is a post from: K9 Magazine - The Dog Magazine For Modern Dog Lovers

Very often we receive press releases from pet product manufacturers, keen to tell us about their ‘unique’ new dog product which is – in reality – usually a glittery version of something that already exists or a modified dog bowl, a different kind of dog lead etc, but never before has anyone sent us a press release proudly announcing their ‘unique, new dog sex toy’. Yet, here we are. A dog sex doll is a product we didn’t really expect to be hearing about!Made in Brazil by Petsmiling, this is – we believe – the world’s first canine sex doll. It’s a dog shaped, erm, ‘partner’ for dogs who are unable to pick up hot dates using their natural charm.

Sex doll for dogs sure to get tongues (and tails) wagging!

The product for kinky canines is called DoggieLoveDoll and is getting a lot of interest from stockists globally, including the UK, according to the firm.

They even say it can help dogs who feel down when they’re left alone.

This is definitely the most novel way we’ve heard of treating separation anxiety although one has to question whether dogs are really in need of a canine shaped sex doll when, for quite a while now, a pudgy old beanbag bed seems to elicit much the same amorous response.

Dog Sex Doll Goes on Sale is a post from: K9 Magazine - The Dog Magazine For Modern Dog Lovers

As enthusiasts and lovers of those wonderful four-legged creatures of the canine persuasion prepareded to gather at Crufts 2005 in Birmingham, the dog world’s most prestigious annual event, an insidious little drama unfolded behind the scenes.

Little did I know when I became the owner of a particularly beautiful dark grizzle-coloured Norwich terrier, who goes by the name of “Lulu” (the unwilling star) and boasts 27 champions in a five generation pedigree, that we would be the unsuspecting players in a soap opera whose plot would revolve around the murky world of canine apartheid, intrigue and politics.

Having recently learned that Norwich terriers had been placed on the UK endangered breed list – they have very small litters and there are too few of them – I allowed myself be persuaded to attend Discover Dogs Day at Crufts, with Lulu, not to show her, but to man the Norwich terrier stand to promote the breed.

I was pleased to sacrifice a day of my time, and subsequently received an e-mail from the President of the Norwich Terrier Club (a vet), saying “she would be grateful if I could come to Crufts on Thursday 10th March (Terrier day) as the owners wanted to show their dogs and not sit in the booth.”

However, along with this friendly invitation came an ambiguous warning: “but as she (Lulu) is a brindle colour, you will have to tell people that it is not a recognised colour for showing – just an occasional “recessive” gene, which pops up every now and then, but you know, the most important thing is to have happy outgoing dogs for people to meet, and for the owners to chat about the breed and say how wonderful they are!”

Initially, I paid little attention to the warning and replied saying I would be pleased to be at Crufts on the agreed day. However, I pointed out that the official name of the colour she had referred to as “brindle” was “grizzle”, and although it did not occur very often, it was not just the result of a “recessive” gene, but a Kennel Club recognised colour and breed standard.

Repeated references to it can be found in the definitive book on Norwich terriers by Marjorie Bunting entitled “The Norwich Terrier”. As a result, there are no regulatory impediments to showing a Norwich of this colour.

Several weeks later, I received an unexpected phone call from the President, who indicated that “certain Norwich breeders” were concerned about Lulu attending at Discover Dogs Day. I was told that I was welcome at Crufts, but Lulu was not, because of her colour! Gob-smacked, I said: “how could I be at the show without my dog who could unfortunately not resign her breed?”, but I did resign my membership in the Norwich Terrier Club, with immediate effect.

The President with a show of charity to assuage my anger, offered to reimburse any expenses I had already incurred, which of course Lulu and I firmly declined.

Sickened by what I had just heard, I could not believe Lulu had been subject to such blatant and groundless discrimination by the senior-most representative of a club supposedly dedicated to promoting the breed.

How could the welfare of Norwich terriers be fostered by blackballing (no pun intended) Lulu, to cater for the agenda of a few unnamed breeders? Were Crufts and the Kennel Club aware of the discrimination? Had the Norwich Terrier Club sanctioned the President’s offer to reimburse my expenses?

Needless to say, Lulu, my sons and I did not grace Crufts with our presence this year, as our hair would not have stood the necessary tinting to pass the hidden agenda! Perhaps, the unnamed breeders are throwbacks; unfortunately, I do not know their pedigrees. Anyhow, thank God “man’s best friends” are not involved (unless it’s Disney) in such human machinations, certainly not of the prejudicial kind.

Lulu’s beauty, character and striking colour (grizzle) speak for themselves. They always elicit compliments and adulation in Kensington and Hyde Park, both from strangers and dog enthusiasts of all colours (including Norwich owners), who stop to admire her. This praise is fully underlined by an international fashion photographer enquiring whether he might ‘hire’ her for a photo shoot! As my sons put it so aptly, little Lulu is a star! And such stars have the wet nosed dignity to remain above the fray, away from the venal behaviour of a few.

Rewind: Breed Discrimination and Pedigree Politics at Dog Show is a post from: K9 Magazine - The Dog Magazine For Modern Dog Lovers

1. Continuous rapid barking, midrange pitch: “Call the pack! There is a potential problem! Someone is coming into our territory!” Continuous barking but a bit slower and pitched lower: “The intruder [or danger] is very close. Get ready to defend yourself!”

2. Barking in rapid strings of three or four with pauses in between, midrange pitch: “I suspect that there may be a problem or an intruder near our territory. I think that the leader of the pack should look into it.”

3. Prolonged or incessant barking, with moderate to long intervals between each utterance: “Is there anybody there? I’m lonely and need companionship.” This is most often the response to confinement or being left alone for long periods of time.

4. One or two sharp short barks, midrange pitch: “Hello there!” This is the most typical greeting sound.

5. Single sharp short bark, lower midrange pitch: “Stop that!” This is often given by a mother dog when disciplining her puppies but may also indicate annoyance in any dog, such as when disturbed from sleep or if hair is pulled during grooming and so forth.

6. Single sharp short bark, higher midrange: “What’s this?” or “Huh?” This is a startled or surprised sound. If it is repeated two or three times its meaning changes to “Come look at this!” alerting the pack to a novel event. This same type of bark, but not quite as short and
sharp, is used to mean “Come here!”

Many dogs will use this kind of bark at the door to indicate that they want to go out. Lowering the pitch to a relaxed midrange means “Terrific!” or some other similar expletive, such as “Oh, great!” My cairn terrier, for example, who loves to jump, will give this single bark of joy when sent over the high jump. Other dogs give this same bark when given their food dish.

7. Single yelp or very short high-pitched bark: “Ouch!” This is in response to a sudden, unexpected pain.

8. Series of yelps: “I’m hurting!” “I’m really scared” This is in response to severe fear and pain.

9. Stutter-bark, midrange pitch: If a dog’s bark were spelled “ruff,” the stutter-bark would be spelled “ar-ruff.” It means “Let’s play!” and is used to initiate playing behavior.

10. Rising bark: This is a bit hard to describe, although once you’ve heard it, it is unmistakable. It is usually a series of barks, each of which starts in the middle range but rises sharply in pitch – almost a bark-yelp, though not quite that high. It is a play bark, used during rough-and- tumble games, that shows excitement and translates as “This is fun!”

Why Do Dogs Bark? 10 Dog Barks Translated is a post from: K9 Magazine - The Dog Magazine For Modern Dog Lovers

When a dog attack is reported we will often hear the same old phrases bandied about.

“It came out of the blue”

“It was totally unprovoked”

“We didn’t see it coming”

“It was totally out of character”

Ring any bells? Well let’s try and understand how and why a dog might attack someone.

Dogs rarely, if ever, attack for no reason. Us humans often misinterpret a dog attacking “out of the blue” and “without warning”‘ because we simply missed the signs.

Let’s be clear about one thing. A dog who is prepared to bite someone has his reasons. Can we, as humans, justify those reasons using the social values of people?

Probably not. But of course, dogs do not live their lives according to human social values.

Here is the story of John, Henry and Max.

John has no wife or children. For the last five years he’s lived with his best friend in the world a playful Labrador called Max.

John is exited today. Henry, an old friend from school who he hasn’t seen for many years is visiting.

John decides today would be a good day to get his garden tidied, make a good impression on his old school chum.

As John gets busy in amongst the weeds in the front garden, he spies his old mate making his way up the street.

Henry’s been looking forward to catching up with John for weeks and, as he’s never been to his home before, finds himself feeling somewhat jubilant to realise he’s managed to find the street on which John lives without too much trouble and can now relish the prospect of seeing his friend again as well as finally getting to meet the only true love of John’s life, the much talked about Max.

It’s a hot and sunny day and Henry is wearing his sunglasses. Further up the street he spots John working in his front garden.

John’s already noticed Henry making his way towards him and yells out, “Hi Henry. Fancy a beer?”

Henry shouts back, “Sounds just the job. Can you believe this heat?”.

As per usual, Max has been ‘helping’ John with his gardening exploits by digging holes of his own all over the lawn. John doesn’t mind. He only wanted the garden so he could have somewhere safe to play fetch with Max on sunny days like today. He’s never been one for trying to keep it immaculate when Max’s favourite hobby is trying to tunnel his way to China.

Max has stopped his gardening though. He’s become preoccupied by the exchange between John and Henry and he’s taken a trip the front gate to see what’s going on.

“I wonder who this bloke is?” ponders Max.

“Why would he and John be shouting at other?” he thinks to himself.

“I’d better be on full alert.” he concludes. “John’s just shouted at this chap so he obviously wants me to keep an eye out.”

Max fixes himself in position at the front gate and hoists his tail high into the air, he’s keen to let the oncoming stranger know he’s about.

John doesn’t notice.

Henry’s still coming. So Max decides he needs to be more clear. He starts to emit a deep, low growl in Henry’s direction just to make certain the stranger who’s purposely striding towards him, his owner and HIS garden is left in no uncertain terms that he’s not moving

Henry’s still coming. And now he’s close enough for Max to notice his sunglasses. “This is getting more serious by the second”, thinks Max. “He’s not only not listening to me, he’s staring right at me. I know, I’ll stare right back at him. See if he’s as brave then.”

Problems. Henry is still as brave. To Max, Henry’s sunglasses look like wide, staring eyes, boring straight ahead and as he marches staunchly toward the increasingly anxious Labrador, Max wonders what his next move might be. As body language goes, Henry is showing all the signs of refusing to listen to Max’s advice.

Now tense and feeling genuinely threatened, Max is offered an escape. John jogs inside to fetch a couple of bottles of beer and Max is only too pleased to hurriedly follow his master. Max is somewhat relieved to suspect that John, his idol, is just as scared as he is about the relentless stranger pursuing them both from outside the garden gate.

“Shut the door John, shut the door” Max worries. “He’s still coming and you haven’t closed the door”.

Too late. Max’s heart leaps as he hears the gate swing open. Too late.

His worst fears are confirmed. The unrelenting Henry is now purposefully making his way up the garden path and toward the the house where Max and John are isolated, cornered and in Max’s case, petrified.

Gathering up every ounce of his canine courage and without a second’s thought for his own safety Max charges out of the house, tail hoisted aloft and barking his war cry as loud as his voice will muster. He heads straight for Henry wondering why this stalking maniac refused to listen to all of his earlier warnings.

“You might kill me but you’ll never take John”, Max decides.

Henry, his face very quickly drained of all its colour, is shocked and taken aback to be confronted by a clearly furious Max, the dog he’d heard so many nice stories about from doting John. This isn’t at all the dog he thought he’d be meeting.

Henry, alarmed and frightened makes his way toward Max, attempting to offer a hand of reassurance and friendship.

Max is having none of it.

“John warned you. Then I warned you. Why wouldn’t you just listen?”, reasoned Max.

Undeterred by Henry’s advance and determined not to let his owner come to any harm, Max lunges in Henry’s direction.

The realisation that Max is a long way past the stage of being able to be pacified dawns on Henry fast and he hastily tries to beat a retreat back out of the gate from which he entered.

John, hearing the commotion and now panic stricken by Max’s attack bellows “No! Max, no.”

Acutely tuned to his owner’s emotions and sensing the fear and alarm in John’s voice, Max forges ahead and launches into a full scale attack on Henry.

And then, as quick as it began, it was over.

An ambulance arrives to take Henry away and, hearing the commotion, John’s neighbours have summoned the Police.

John can be heard explaining, “He’s never done anything like this before“, the attack came “totally out of the blue“, Max was always “such a trustworthy dog“, he’s “never shown any signs of aggression in his life“, the attack was “totally unprovoked“.

But we know differently don’t we?

Let’s look again at how Max saw things unfold:

1. Max spots a man walking toward his and his owner’s garden – ‘his territory’
2. Not unduly worried, Max paid little attention to the stranger until John shouted in Henry’s direction. To Max, this was a clear signal to ‘watch for danger’
3. Obediently, Max sat at the front gate and watched for that danger.
4. He attempted to signal to Henry by putting his tail in the air and growling, that he was prepared to defend his owner and territory.
5. As Henry gets closer, Max again postures but now spots Henry’s aggressive body language, his wide eyes refusing to overt their gaze a clear signal of intent. Henry’s point blank refusal to alter his path, a sure fire gesture of defiance.
6. As John runs inside, Max’s thoughts turn to escape. He now believes John is as scared as he is and they should both seek shelter from the safety of the house.
7. Too late. As Henry enters the garden (Max and John’s territory) Max does what he thinks his owner needs him to do. He defends against the threat.
8. As Henry runs away and John panics, Max takes this as a sign that he should increase his attack, his canine instincts now in complete overdrive.

So let us again question whether John was correct when he explained to Police that Max’s attack was unprovoked.

Was it unprovoked? Not at all.

Was it unjustified in human, social terms? Absolutely.

Was it avoidable? Totally.

The Aftermath

Henry, his pain eased only slightly by drugs lies motionless in a hospital bed and starts to face the reality that a visit to see a dear, old friend has left him disfigured for the rest of his life. He ponders how best to explain to his young children that he’s still their Dad even though he knows his mutilated features will upset them deeply. He wonders how life will be from now on, how people will react to him.

Max, confused and still frightened by the terrifying ordeal earlier in the day is now wondering why he’s found himself confined to a small, secure cage at the vet surgery.

He stares through the bars and looks longingly towards the door, hoping against hope that he will soon be reunited with his trusted friend and master, John.

Unbeknown to Max, he’ll never see John again.

As the door swings open, Max’s tail momentarily begins to wag but he’s deflated. It’s not John. It’s a vet nurse.

He’s still pleased to see her. He’s lonely and upset and he just wants to go home and be with his friend.

He’s too pre-occupied to wonder why the vet nurse seems so wary of him. Wanting to put her at ease, he submissively offers up his paw. As the vet nurse holds it, she carefully shaves a small patch of fur away from his leg.

Max didn’t even notice the injection.

On this day it wasn’t only Max’s body that was destroyed as John’s memories of a kind, gentle, fun loving dog died too.

He asks himself once more, “Why did my dog attack someone for no reason?”

John may never know it, but Max had his reasons.

Dogs do not bite people without reason. They do not attack out of the blue. They do not launch into savage, frenzied assaults without provocation despite what you will undoubtedly read in news reports when the next dog attack hits the press.

There are NO devil dogs. There are NO unprovoked dog attacks. There IS a huge gap in understanding amongst some dog owners about why dogs attack and until we can bridge that gap in education people will continue to be attacked and more and more dogs will join Max, their memories destroyed along with their bodies.

Killing individual dog breeds is not the solution to a problem which runs through an entire species. Oh, and if you were left in any doubt, that species isn’t canine.
