The
International All-Breed Canine Association of America
(IABCA) began approximately seventeen years ago with
the intent of
making an International "UCI" Championship
Title available to the
American public without exposing the dogs to the
danger and
inconvenience of international travel. To
accomplish this an
association was formed with an International
Association of dog clubs
headquartered in Germany, the Union Cynologie
International (UCI). The
UCI has been in existence for over thirty years.
There are many
countries throughout Europe, North America and the Far
East represented
in the association. Through UCI
International Titles are awarded to
dogs who meet the stringent requirements of their
specific breed
standard in their country of origin.
IABCA shows are held in accordance with the German
regulations and
guidelines that have been established by UCI.
The guidelines provide
for a WRITTEN CRITIQUE OF EACH DOG ENTERED and a
rating number of how
well a dog conforms to the International "UCI"
breed standard. The
rating a dog receives, based on the critique, will
determine the type of
championship certificate awarded.
On the weekend of May 15th and 16th 2010,
in Hutchinson Minnesota,
Stash and Paczki each earned their International Ch.
Titles and their
IABCA Ch.Titles under the very capable handling
of Tom Pirc, my husband.
Proudly,

PON. We hold them at our 38 acre site on the
Withlacoochee River near Brooksville known as
"Panther Bend" at Running PON Lane -
it used to be an Indian Village and is a great
place for fun gatherings. We hold fun matches
to introduce owners to the art of showing and
just to have fun along with cookouts and event
to share PON stories where the laughing will
not disturb the neighbors. We are planning a
herding event and have an agility course setup
for those with the courage to try or enough
drinks under their belt to be brave and not
notice the others laughing.
Go our club site at www.floridaponfanciers.org
for further information. All are welcome
- come join us anytime.

Central Florida Polish
Lowland Sheepdog Fanciers Club
The Central Florida Polish
Lowland Sheepdog Fanciers Club has received
approval from the AKC to hold licensed
championship point events. This is a
goal we have worked years to achieve and I
want to thank each and every member for
their assistance in reaching this goal.
We are the only AKC approved Regional Club
in the US and you should be proud of your
accomplishment.
This PON picnic to
celebrate will be one of many yet to come.
We had 26 humans and 21 PONs attend along
with a few honorary PONs for the day and
there was not a cross bark anywhere -
everyone had a good time and of course the
PONs complained that they could not have any
of the BBQ but did get their share of
treats.
We are presently working
on future programs for our PONs and
announcements will be made as time nears for
the functions. Congratulations
to all and many thanks for your support.

Playing
it safe with anesthesia
When your PON is scheduled
for a tooth cleaning or any other
surgical procedure which requires
anesthesia, it is of utmost importance
that food is withheld at least twelve
hours prior to surgery. Not only will
this prevent your PON from vomiting
and inhaling stomach contents during
surgery, but it will also reduce
nausea as your PON regains
consciousness. This advice is vital
for the well being of your PON and
needs the co-operation of all family
members.

Keep your Pon's gums
healthy with cranberries !
Cranberries
go to the dogs ... and cats
By DUNSTAN PRIAL,
Standard-Times staff writer
The human health benefits of cranberries have
been recognized by medical science for
decades.
Now the cranberry industry hopes the nation's
millions of pet owners will apply the same
concept to their beloved cats and dogs.
A study to be released today by UMass
Dartmouth's Center for Business Research has
identified the $14 billion-a-year pet food
industry as a potentially wide-open market for
the slumping cranberry

Does your PON
suffer from arthritis ?
Green
lipped mussels for
alleviating arthritis in dogs.
|
Green-lipped mussel (Perna
canaliculus) is a New Zealand shellfish,
from which an extract has been shown to be
useful in the treatment of rheumatoid
arthritis and osteoarthritis .
Green-lipped mussel inhibits inflammation
in the body. Although inflammation is normal
under certain conditions, consistent
inflammation can result in pain and
damage to the body, including the joints.

The Yin and Yang
of the PON Digestive System
or
Striving towards a
well balanced Healthy PON digestive system
|
The concepts of Yin and Yang
contributed to the Chinese scientific system,
particularly in fields like biology and
medicine The organs of the body were seen to
be interrelated in the same kinds of ways as
other natural phenomena, and most understood
by searching for cause and effect. Illness was
seen as a disturbance in the balance of Yin
and Yang caused by emotions, heat or
cold, or other influences. Therapy thus
depended on accurate diagnosis of the source
of the imbalance.
PON owners can readily apply Yin and Yang
to their management of PON nutrition and
ultimately to solving digestive issues.

Multi-drug
Sensitivity
Polish
Lowland Sheepdog owners need to be informed !

Washington

Medicine
Originally found in http://www.vetmed.wsu.edu/depts-VCPL/.
Some dogs can have adverse
reactions to drugs such as ivermectin,
loperamide , Imodium® , and others.
It was previously unknown why some
individual dogs were sensitive and
others were not. Advances in molecular
biology at the Veterinary Clinical
Pharmacology Laboratory at Washington
State University's College of
Veterinary Medicine have led to the
discovery of the cause of multi-drug
sensitivity in affected dogs

How
to Give Canine CPR
by Lori S. Mohr (First Aid For Dogs - Tim Hawcroft)
CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is the process of
breathing life back
into an unconscious human. A similar technique can
also work effectively on dogs.
The signs that indicate the need for CPR include
unconsciousness, lack of
arousal, lack of physical movement, or eye blinking.
These symptoms can occur
from drowning, choking, electrical shock, or a number
of other situations.
The key to canine CPR is remembering the ABCs:

Your Own Natural Flea Repellent

European sources have
confirmed the effective use of vinegar for
flea control. To be sure of complete
protection, please spray often (every hour)
and pour a small amount of apple cider

regular basis.

Those
gunky ears: Dealing with ear problems
| |
If
you are one of those conscientious PON
owners who have spent untold amounts
of money with your local veterinarian
for gunky ear problems, then it is
high time to take matters into your
own hands and look further than
expensive veterinary ear solutions and
ear cleaning sessions at your vet's
office.What are the main causes of
canine ear problems ? Most
veterinarians will agree that the most
common underlying causes of ear
problems in dogs are allergic
reactions (inhalant and food
allergies).

When
Your Pon has fatty tumors
Occasionally, PON owners
will post to Yahoogroups about bumps or fatty
tumors they have come across while grooming
their PONS and inquire if this is common in
the breed. The answer is not uncomplicated,
but studies indicate that overweight dogs are
more susceptible to fatty tumors called
lipomas. These lipomas have the consistency of
a baggy filled with water and may be found all
over a PON's body. For newbie owners this is
scary and may result in a quick visit to the
vet

Polish Lowland
Sheepdog - PON - pon the dog
|
The Polish
Lowland Sheepdog (PON) is a robust sheepdog with roots in Tibet. In fact,
it is said that the heavy fur which covers the eyes of this sheepdog is a
natural adaptation to the glaring sunlight of the region. Nomadic
tribes traveled with the ancestors of Polish Lowland Sheepdogs during
their migration to European countries and the breed became established
among the local population. Polish Lowland Sheepdogs developed a
reputation for hard work, loyalty and strong herding instincts. The
breed's herding instincts have survived for centuries and even
today, they still need a job and will attempt to herd their human families
in the absence of sheep. Polish Lowland Sheepdog (PON) lovers will
appreciate reading the PON Digest online publication to learn more about this
beloved breed.
