CNASA Quarterly Fall 2018
From Our President
I recently did an interview with a young lady who is making a documentary on dog
breeders. She had lots of interesting questions, and some really made me think. For
example. What is the ONE thing that makes Aussies so special? What was your
most memorable moment with Aussies?
Some were kind of funny, such as asking how breeding dogs affects your life?
Hmmmm, remember that line “this is why we can’t have nice things”? Welllllll,
that’s my life! Or that my husband and I can never go away at the same time. I go
to the lake for 5 days, then we switch and he gets 5 days at the lake. I’m going on a
cruise at Christmas and he’s staying in balmy Manitoba to take care of the dogs.
And the money! Boy oh boy, this is one expensive hobby!
But we also talked about the good stuff. Almost all of my friends are dog people.
I’ve met so many wonderful people through my puppies. Dog people may argue,
they may be competitive, but if one of us needs help the whole community will
drop everything to help. I personally received that kind of support when Zeri was
lost. I’ve been to lots of fundraiser “Bud, Spud, and Steak” dinners to raise funds
for groups, rescue, and individual people/dog situations.
It was a fun interview and I have mulled over lots of our conversation since then.
Why Aussies? What’s important to me in my breeding program? Where am I going
with my dogs? Where do I see Aussies in the future (looks, temperament,
function)?
Good topics to occupy your mind on long drives back and forth to dog shows!
I always hear and read about all the negative things that go on at shows. I really
wonder if a lot of it is what people choose to focus on? This was my little blue
bitch’s second weekend showing. Her first weekend was a disaster, she wouldn’t
stand for the exam. The judges were so kind to her (which actually makes my dogs
worse; they distrust friendly strangers). So many people told me how lovely she was
5
CNASA Quarterly Fall 2018
and they hoped she would stand for the judge. When she got it together this
weekend people seemed genuinely pleased for her. Owner handlers and owner
breeder handlers did extremely well this past weekend. Glancing through the
almost endless specialty results, I can see that breeder handlers dominated ! I saw a
quote recently….let’s see if I can remember it…..’ This is the only sport in the world
I know of where a complete novice will go head to head with a paid professional, it
is your job to make sure a judge can not tell which one you are’.

Zone 3 Report
Greetings from Zone 3!
I hope everyone is having a great summer! It has been hot in the prairies that is for
sure and rather a bit slow other than gearing up for our Speciality on August 18,
2018 in Winnipeg. Looking forward to seeing everyone as this show is well
attended. The Manitoba Canine Association just keeps asking us to come back
every year! An ASCA show or two is usually thrown in as well!
We were invited to participate in Meet the Breeds at the Red River Ex back in
June, while I was unable to attend this year CNASA member Maureen Ward-
Saunders was present with her Aussies. Thank you Maureen!
Shawna Wiebe and myself were looking forward in participating in the Winnipeg
Pet Expo this fall, however the promoters cancelled the expo for this year due to
unforeseen circumstances which is unfortunate. We look forward to this event and
feel it is important to education the public about pure breed dogs as well as our
beloved Aussies! If you ever get a chance to participate in any “Meet the Breed”
forum I encourage everyone to participate.
I’m currently looking forward to attending the ASCA Nationals in Greely, CO in
September with some of our CNASA members making the journey. Looking
forward to my youngest Aussie’s career in the ring “Kinring’s Act of Valour” (CH
Kinring’s Napoleon x CH Kinring’s Azeri) and my Monty’s (CH Kinring’s Honour
and Valour) niece hence the name!
Have a great rest of your summer!

Zone 4 Report
What an amazing summer we have had!! Here in Ontario, it’s been a warm one.
Thankfully (for us dog event people) not too many wet, rainy days. Hopefully, as we
head into the fall, the weather stays nice.
We have been out and about at dog shows and it’s been wonderful to re-connect
with fellow Aussie people. It’s been nice to see some newer people come out and
try their hand at dog shows too. The shows I have been to have seen Aussies doing
very well in the ring – often getting group placements in a line up of some very nice
herding dogs. There are shows coming up this fall and I hope to see nice size
Aussie entries. Come out and play!! Whether it be conformation, agility, obedience
or rally-o. We really do have fun at dog shows.
Do you want to become more involved with CNASA? Do you enjoy being part of a
group or committee? Let me know!! There is always room for members and
something for everyone.
Please keep your latest accomplishments in mind for our newsletter. We LOVE
reading about member brags and seeing members and their dogs succeed in all
aspects of dog ownership.
As always, you can contact me at any time with
questions and concerns.

Hello CNASA Members!
It's been a hot and humid summer; perfect beach weather which we were very
lucky to be able to take advantage of.
Congratulations to our zone
members who have been busy at
shows and trials picking up new
titles, Q's and points. We would
love to see more brags and ads
showing off your success!
Good luck to all of our members
who are showing and trialling this
fall. We look forward to seeing lots
of aussies out at the shows this fall!

From Gina Stetsko:
14CNASA Quarterly Fall 2018
Our weekend activities have not slowed, even with our unusually HOT/humid
weather. A couple Dock events in Edson were a blast , with both boys placing first
in their Divisions. Tex (after his time out last summer) came back stronger this
season, consistently jumping over 19'.
Bizi has been Sprinting, happily taking part in CKC's inaugural Sprinters trial on
Canada Day weekend.
Tex listens from the car. :( Lisa (In the Zone) Shmit's agility clinic, held in
Lloydminster, was good for Tex, and, was my reminder for 'start line' criteria.
Bizi's introduction to Urban Tracking clinic was fantastic, with Donna
(Spiritdance) Brinkworth, in Olds. So much fun for me to see how much he's
enjoying Tracking.
Bizi has been loving Scent Hurdle Racing, held after CKC events, and should
already have his CH this Fall. Tex is working on his CGN this month while Scent
Detection class is on a break. We're looking forward to his first SDDA trial, in a
few weeks. Since our local herding plans fell through, both boys have been Barn
Hunting, in Lacombe. Tex (channeling his inner Earth Dog) earned his Instinct &
legs toward Novice and Bizi is working on Open. Before their next BH trial, we
might actually get to practice with the gerbils. All these Nosey sports seem to be
taking over our calendar. I'm pretty sure we'll be able to get back to some
Obedience/Rally & Agility before this year ends.
'Til next time
Gina, with her boys

Genetically Clean Lines
Used with permission from ashgi.org
Dogs have around 20,000 pairs of genes. Among those genes, every dog has some
which, if matched up with certain other genes or particular segments of regulatory
DNA, will result in disease or other traits a dog breeder doesn’t want. Given that,
there is no such thing as a completely “clean” dog or line.
However, a line might be “clean” of a particular problem. For example, some lines
of Aussie will sometimes produce Collie Eye Anomaly, others have not. Progressive
Rod Cone Degeneration a form of Progressive Retinal Atrophy, is rare in Aussies
so many lines will be “clean” of PRCD.
Every line will have strengths and weaknesses. For example, if a line is known for
steep shoulders, that is a genetic problem in that line. Steep shoulders are not a
disease or gross defect, but they are faulty and are inherited. The more inbred a
line, the more likely that serious problems will come to light whenever the
necessary set of genes are brought together in one dog.
Since no line is 100% “clean” of everything, what’s a breeder to do? With your
particular breeding goals in mind (for type, structure, temperament, performance
ability, etc.) look for mates whose family history is strong where your line is weak.
This means considering more than an individual; you must also get to know as
many of its close relatives as you can.
29CNASA Quarterly Fall 2018
Knowing the status of eyes, hips, etc. on breed foundation animals might be
helpful, since present-day dogs sometimes go back to one or more founder many
times. Unfortunately, most of those founder dogs lived and died before anybody
was keeping detailed records on health problems or other faults.
Many breeders linebreed to achieve their goals, often concentrating on the
contributions of particular outstanding sires. The use of popular sires has
contributed greatly to the increasing levels of inbreeding in purebred dogs.
Popular sires are also key factors in increasing the frequency of whatever diseases
or faults they may carry genes for.
When breeders emphasize trait selection rather than specific pedigrees they can
better manage genetically complex traits like behavior, certain aspects of structure,
and some diseases. Genetically complex traits are more difficult to maintain (or
avoid) through breeding strategies based on pedigree alone.
A system of assortative mating, where important traits are emphasized can help a
breeder maintain valued traits while minimizing the occurrence of those that are
unwanted. Rather than studying pedigrees to see how often certain names appear,
the breeder evaluates the qualities and faults of the various ancestors behind her
bitch and potential studs to select the best match.
There will never be a dog that is free from all undesirable genes, but through
assortative mating breeders can minimize the impact of those genes.
30CNASA Quarterly Fall 2018
Des lignées génétiquement propres
Les chiens ont un vintaine 20 000 paires de gènes. Parmi ces gènes, chaque chien
a certains qui, si assorti avec certains autres gènes ou segments particuliers d’ADN
de régulation, se traduira par une maladie ou autres traits qu’un éleveur de chien ne
veut pas. De plus, un chien ou une lignée complètement « propre » n’existe pas.
Cependant, une lignée pourrait être « propre » d’un problème en particulier. Par
exemple, certaines lignées d’Aussies produiront de temps en temps l’anomalie de
l’œil de Colle, d’autres non. La dégénérescence des tiges et cônes, une forme
d’atrophie rétinienne progressive, est très rare chez les Aussies. Par conséquent, de
nombreuses lignées seront « propres » pour l’APR-prcd.
Chaque lignée aura ses forces et ses faiblesses. Par exemple, si une lignée est
connue pour des épaules raides, c’est un problème génétique dans cette lignée. Ce
n’est pas une maladie ou un défaut grave, mais c’est défectueux et hérité. La plus
consanguine la lignée, le plus probable que de graves problèmes surviendront
chaque fois que l’ensemble des gènes nécessaires seront réunies en un seul chien.
Comme aucune lignée est « propre » à 100%, que doit un éleveur faire ? Avec vos
propres objectifs d’élevage en tête (pour le type, la structure, le tempérament, les
aptitudes, etc.), recherchez des chiens dont l’historique familial est forte là ou votre
lignée est faible. Cela signifie de considérer plus qu’un seul individu ; vous devez
également apprendre le plus sur autant d’apparentés proches que vous le pouvez.
Connaître l’état des yeux, hanches, etc. sur les fondateurs de la race pourrait être
utile, puisque beaucoup de chiens d’aujourd’hui (parfois plus de 10 générations plus
31CNASA Quarterly Fall 2018
tard), reviennent parfois à un ou plusieurs fondateurs commun. Malheureusement,
la plupart des chiens fondateurs ont vécu et sont mort avant que les gens tenaient
des dossiers détaillés sur les problèmes de santé ou d’autres défauts.
Beaucoup d’éleveurs utilisent la consanguinité éloignée pour atteindre leurs
objectifs, en se concentrant sur les contributions de certains étalons superbes.
L’utilisation d’étalons populaires a grandement contribué à l’augmentation des
niveaux de consanguinité chez les chiens de race pure. Les étalons populaires sont
également des facteurs clés dans l’augmentation de la fréquence des maladies ou
défauts dont ils sont porteurs.
Quand les éleveurs insistent sur la sélection de traits plutôt que des pedigrees
spécifiques, ils peuvent mieux gérer des traits génétiquement complexes comme le
comportement, certains aspects de la structure et certaines maladies. Les traits
génétiquement plus complexes sont plus difficile à maintenir (ou à éviter) en se
fiant seulement sur des pedigrees.
Un système d’accouplements assortatif, où les traits importants sont mis en
évidence, peut aider un éleveur à maintenir les traits de valeur tout en minimisant
ceux qui ne sont pas désirés. Plutôt que d’étudier les pedigrees pour voir combien
de fois certains noms apparaissent, l’éleveur évalue les qualités et les défauts des
différents ancêtres derrière leur chienne et les étalons potentiels pour sélectionner
la meilleure paire.
Il n’y aura jamais un chien qui est exempt de tous les gènes indésirables, mais avec
l’accouplement assortatif les éleveurs peuvent minimiser l’impact de ces gènes.
