Willow’s Hip Score

/in , /by

Willow’s (Ch Tambuzi Secret Of Roan Inish) PennHip evaluation report was received last week. Very pleased with her result. Both hips DI 0.29, with no evidence of OA in either hip. Willow’s hips are ranked in the tightest 5% of the breed. The breed ranges from 0.29 (Willows score being the tightest) to 0.78.

The breed average DI is now to 0.46. This is disappointing as the average is higher some of the breeds one expects to have higher scores; for example, German Shepherd Dogs have an average score of 0.40, 0.6 lower than Basenjis!

I was amazed by the efficiency of the result – the X-rays were only taken one day and back the next from the US – well done PennHIP!

Eye Examinations

/in , /by

Both Willow and Lyra had further eye examinations today. Their eyes have been screened as part of the Tambuzi Health Management Program. An ACES  approved specialist conducted the eye examinations. I am very happy to report that both Lyra and Willow received certification that they both have ‘normal’ eyes. There was no sign of cataracts, PRA, coloboma, and no PPMs of any type. It is especially relevant that periodic eye screening is carried out in a breeding program. This is the second eye examination that Willow and Lyra have had completed.

As I wasn’t able to enter the show a little more ‘local’ to me (in Victoria) today so I had planned the journey up to Southern NSW. To show Lyra of course and also my friends mini smooth dachshund. I’ve shown him a number of times and have done quite well – he is a nice boy. The show was the Holbrook Show Society 2016 . The judge was Mr Derek Hyde (ACT) he awarded Lyra Best of Breed followed by Best Exhibit in Group, Best Junior in Group and later through to Best Junior in Show. This takes Lyra to the 10 best in groups as one requirement for the title of Supreme Champion. Lyra must now complete the other requirement if 1,000 points.  Really excited with Lyra she continues to do so well under all manner of judges.

The second of two Dogs Victoria Amenities Shows. The Dogs Victoria New Years Eve Show 2015 commenced early evening. It was a truly beautiful warm evening and one that turned out to be very memorable for Tambuzi. Again the evening was spent socialising around the rings catching up with many friends to celebrate our dogs achievements for the past 12 months. Hound specialist Mr Tony Kyman (Vic) was our judge this evening. Dusk is when my dogs wake up to watch the Kangaroo ‘migration’ through the property. Lyra was on ‘almost’ her best behaviour and showed very well. She was awarded Best of Breed and went into the Best in Group ring amongst a number of quality dogs. It was a wonderful and most exciting honour for Lyra to be awarded Best Exhibit in Group (BIG-1) and all at the tender age of 7 months and 2 days old. Later as firework displays were going off in the distance Lyra was awarded Best Minor Puppy in Show by general specials judge Mrs Barbara Doyle (Vic). This was a fantastic conclusion to what was an amazing night and a tremendous year for Tambuzi. Well done to Best in Show winner the Old English Sheepdog MBIS Am Ch & Aust Sup Ch Barkshire’s Captain America (Imp USA) and Runner Up Best in Show Winner the English Springer Spaniel MBIS BISS Winner Aust Sup Ch Sandicam The Look Of Love and all the other class in show winners.
