We have had a few cases of mycotoxin poisoning recently. Its not a poisoning that folks are generally familiar with, so we thought we'd share the information to raise awareness.-

Ingestion of mouldy food from the bin or a compost pile puts dogs, cats, horses, livestock, and even wildlife at risk for toxicity due to tremorgenic mycotoxins. These toxins may be found in MOULDY bread, pasta, cheese, nuts, or other decaying matter like compost. Clinical signs include vomiting, agitation, incoordination, tremors, seizures, and elevated body temperature. A specific mycotoxin called aflatoxin can even cause liver failure. Be sure to keep mouldy food and compost out of your pets reach!

Little puppy faces with cute names all lined up on a website can be very appealing. But even with assurances all proper care is taken, how can you know if the business you might be considering buying a puppy from is a reputable and ethical breeder?

South Korea sent a fully-kitted out player for the Olympic shooting. Turkey sent a 51-year-old guy with no specialized lenses, eye cover or ear protection and got the silver medal...

Dikec Yusuf, who only recently took up shooting after a particularly heated argument with his ex-wife, credits his success to his newfound passion for seeing his kids and a relentless drive to prove his ex wrong. "I never thought I'd be here," Yusuf said, shrugging nonchalantly. "I was just aiming for a weekend with the kids."

The 52-year-old, who works as a mechanic in a small garage in Istanbul, first picked up a gun during a particularly frustrating divorce mediation.

His unorthodox approach – no specialty gear, no training regimen, and a wardrobe consisting of his everyday jeans and a T-shirt – has baffled professional shooters. "He just shows up, shoots a near perfect round, and then asks if there's a smoking area nearby."

After winning silver, Yusuf stood emotionless on the Olympic podium and declared, "Sharon, if you're watching this, I want my dog back."

Congratulations Jiggs from Paw Skye.

ScotiaPrides Acadian Jig AKA ‘Princess Jigs’ earned her dock diving seniors excellent over the weekend in Nanaimo BC.
And with an impressive jump of over 20 feet she has earned herself an invite to the Regionals this summer.
Not bad for a dog who had puppies less than 4 months ago.
Her mother Isabelle Southcott of EAST WEST Duck Tollers must be really pleased with her gal because I know her Grandmaw sure is!

Life is full of surprises. I wasn't aware that any of our dogs were going to any CKC show or other competition this month. Then this. A message from Team Kamo,
https://nsdtr.breedarchive.com/animal/view/novapride-pheonix-under-nw-kover-at-teaghlach-04a7b7f6-cbc2-42f2-b650-204ed2015cc2
that they had won Winners Bitch twice on Friday. I was thrilled and grateful. Kamo, like most N/N Tollers is late in maturing. Her timeless beauty is beginning to break through to accompany her grace, classic NSDTR markings and outgoing personality.

Then more news on her success.

We now have our first Rally title CKC pending Novapridepheonixunderthenwcoveratteaghlach RN

First qualifying leg was under Judge Diana MacKenzie At the Moncton Kennel Club this past may.

Second and Third quifying leg under Judge MJ Cloutier this weekend in Fredericton Kennel Club

Thank you Judges.

Kamo is handled by her forever familymembers, Melanie Steele Canine Foundations and Faith Lalonde.

Did you know, something as simple as sniffing a pile of leaves can have a calming effect on your dog? 🍂

Engaging a primary scent or carrying out repetitive actions such as licking or chewing (providing there’s no threat in the environment) are considered meditative processes. Why? Because they support appropriate gating of sensory integration.

This damping down of activity between neurons means there’s less traffic between the different brain areas, making communication much more ordered and rhythmical.

Keep Your Dog Hydrated:

• In many areas of the country – and across the globe – this has been one of the hottest summers on record. As temperatures continue to soar, the importance of keeping your dogs hydrated cannot be emphasized enough.

• Keeping track of what your dog drinks and how often is something dog owners/handlers should be vigilant about. Proper hydration is critical because dehydration has serious immediate and long-term health risks.

• It’s important to recognize the signs of dehydration, but it’s even more important to ensure your dog always has access to water so he doesn’t get dehydrated.

There are often requests here for recommendations for breeders, and why not? Tollers are great dogs and what better place to look for a breeder? Here are some good tips for people who might be new to buying a purebred dog.

We have breed clubs in every country, and those clubs have lists of breeders who participate in the Breeder's Directory. Now a disclaimer...being on the listing does not make a breeder "good", and not being on the list does not make a breeder "bad". You still have to do some serious research and get a feeling by talking to the breeder. The US Club is here [https://nsdtrc-usa.org/](https://nsdtrc-usa.org/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR1Asd8goAll7z2_wBCveqChPuxt_Dpbj3gmn3dyWMn66OuWzm3JbabYgKs_aem_ZmFrZWR1bW15MTZieXRlcw) and the Canadian Club is here [http://www.toller.ca/](http://www.toller.ca/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR1KzMYbVl9raFpOAUQ3ek8XuqIFu4NYji2ZUgsGexk1wqtc25LuWuFA66w_aem_ZmFrZWR1bW15MTZieXRlcw) There is wonderful information about the breed and events as well. Take a look...you won't be sorry!

Length of time breeding, list of winning titles....those things are great, but most important for every owner is health and temperament of the dogs. It doesn't matter how pretty or talented they are if they are sick or nasty. And you will find great information about what health clearances should be done on breeding stock on the club websites. OFA has determined that to get a CHIC number, breeders must get their dog's hips certified by OFA, eyes certified also by OFA, and have the DNA test done for PRA. Other available tests for cardiac, thyroid, patella, and elbows may be done. There are DNA tests for four fatal diseases that prevent passing on an unhealthy pup to new owners, CLAM, JADD, DE and CDMC. And we are getting more DNA tests all the time! Great news for the puppy owner if the breeder is using all available technology to produce the healthiest pups possible.

So if you've found a breeder through one of the resources available, you have every right to ask for a link to the parent's OFA results. Or you can check yourself by entering the dog's registered name or number into the search box (make sure you select the right breed) at [https://www.ofa.org/](https://www.ofa.org/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR2ods64uQwlyRoHjK1_SVp5IQ0Cf1ySaSeNFCdH7tGKBbElT9lpprBk18U_aem_ZmFrZWR1bW15MTZieXRlcw). A reputable breeder will be happy that you are concerned about the health of any puppy you may purchase.

We also have a great resource in a pedigree site www.thebreedarchive.com On this site you can see titles, health clearances and links to the results on OFA, and sometimes even pictures of the dogs. It is fun to see parents, grandparents etc of a potential puppy. Again, be sure you are on the right breed at the top, and you can enter the name or even part of the name, or do a search for different things like the call name or the name of the breeder. It can also be a great resource when it's time to choose a name for your new puppy. Want a unique name? You can enter names you are thinking of and see if there are other Tollers with that name! You can see there are countless Tollers named "Copper" but only two on the site named "Mouse", for example!

Searching for your new family member can be fun and a bit challenging. You will spend many happy years with the new little guy or gal, so be sure to do your research and stack the deck in your favor for the healthiest pup possible.

EDIT to point out that as well as health testing, it is important for the parents to be healthy (not all problems have tests) and have good temperaments, and for pups to have aptitude for what the new home is getting it for (not all pups will be destined for a high-expectation performance home, or a home with small children, etc). And it is best if you can meet at least the mother of the dog, and the breeder for sure. A breeder should interview the potential home to get a feeling if a Toller is a good match for them, and in order to match them with the right puppy if they are a suitable home. I always tell people to go with their gut instinct when talking to a breeder. If they don't feel the breeder is honest or doing things the right way, find a different person to get a pup from. It is a big decision to add a furry family member to the house...one of the only times you can "choose" your family members!

Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have updated their guidelines on when to neuter 40 popular dog varieties by breed and s*x. Their recent paper in Frontiers in Veterinary Science adds five breeds to a line of research that began in 2013 with a study that suggested that early neuter...
