Many thanks to all involved today at the Seminar organised by South if Scotland GSD and BAGSD
…….......
Roberto Caputo was very interesting to listen to, and kept his large group of seminar participants very interested, most enjoyable.
this event was Sponsored by Royal Canin who were in attendance, and a lively part of the Seminar speakers was our own Brian Wootton, who again held his audience in the palm of his hand with his knowledge of the breed, and it's oft times humerous reasons for panning out as they did ! Heather MacDonald did a great job of M.C. and her talk regarding the character assessment reasoning was also lively and informative.
I do hope we can have more of this type of development, and the lovely venue, food and constant refreshments were a real bonus. Especially the lovely lunch, for the cost we were asked to pay for our tickets, l can only assume we were generously subsidised.
Thank you Heather Mac. Andrew Windrow and each respective club with it's army of helpers.

DID YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD NOT POUR COLD WATER ON AN OVERHEATED DOG OR PUT A WET TOWEL ON THEIR BACK ‼️
HERE’S WHAT YOU SHOULD DO…

Animal lovers, never make the mistake of throwing cold water on an overheated dog or putting a wet towel on his back. You will see the opposite effect.

Due to the cold, the veins contract and due to the high temperature (above 42 degrees), the proteins in the blood clot, which makes the blood thick and viscous.
Due to the combination of the two, the heart can no longer get the blood and the organs fail one by one due to lack of oxygen.

The result is a very slow but very painful death.
If you try to help an overheated dog in this way, he will still die.

🚨⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️🚨
First give lukewarm water to drink, then cool the soles of the feet and chest/lower abdomen with a damp towel.
Then put the dog in the shade on a damp towel!!
🚨⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️🚨

Sharing is highly desirable because again and again we see images of overheated dogs getting out of a car with water poured on their backs ❎
