After old, traditional custom in Germany: Great atmosphere at the traditional "RFD Easter Fire 2019"

Meanwhile cult: The "traditional fire" by the RFD eV As a meeting place and high-light integrated in the club calendar is the "traditional fire" on Easter Sunday. Like last year, this informal meeting was prepared in Lower Saxony, Salzgitter-Thiede. It has already spread far beyond the borders of northern Germany that the Brauchtums celebration in Salzgitter-Thiede is something special. Pedigree dogs also came from other states, for example from Bavaria and Saxony-Anhalt to visit and spent the entire Easter weekend in the area Salzgitter and the Harz-Heath region with your four-legged friends. With the help of numerous industrious helpers, the Easter fire was prepared, the fuel material rearranged and taken care of the physical well-being of the two-and four-legged friends. The easter fire was kindled with twilight in the best weather. Neighbors, friends and visitors were welcome. In good company old contacts were maintained and new friendships were made. The large area in Salzgitter-Thiede "Lindenbergfeld", in front of the former nursery, is great. As there are no parking spaces, a shuttle service was organized. The next day was tidied up together and had breakfast under the open sky, in the best weather. We look forward to a repeat next year.
Weimaraner Slater Junior; Weimaraner male blue, "Slater Junior" has according to the attached veterinary certificate a fully toothed scissor bite. A veterinary certificate is available and can be viewed or requested by the owner. _______ Christine Lehmann 1st Chairwoman "In April 2013, Christine Lehmann was elected as the 1st Chairperson of the RFD eV." Hello, dear Weimaraner-breeder of the RFD eV Today I would like to emphasize: "That all stud dogs, before which they cover a bitch, must have a pedigree, HD / ED x-rayed and be written fit for breeding." Before, the dogs are not allowed to cover a bitch. Subsequent investigations are not recognized by the Breeding Warden and the Studbook. I ask all breeders to adhere to it. Exceptions can not be made. Christine Lehmann 1st Chair _________ CCL / PLL Genetic Diseases Combating Genetic Diseases CCL (Canine Lipofuscinosis) also known as Storage Disease and PLL (Primary Lens Dislocation) has been available to Tibet Terriers since October 2009, as well. What is CCL? CCL is a genetic disease that affects and destroys nerve cells. It appears in cats, cattle, sheep, humans and in various dog breeds. CCL is caused because an enzyme is missing and thereby a metabolic waste product (Ceroid Lipofuscin) accumulates in the body cells. It accumulates in many cells of the body, including the brain and the retina. The brain cells are very compact, so it takes some time for the brain cells to be destroyed. The dog can not acquire this fatal disease, but he is born with the plant by inheriting it from his parents. How does CCL and PLL inherit? Like PRA, CCL / PLL are inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. This means that dogs only become ill when they inherit a defective (diseased) gene from both parents. The disease does not break out if only one parent has given it a sick gene. Animals with only one defective gene are carriers of the disease, do not become ill themselves (are healthy), but can still pass on the disease. The disease manifests only when the recessive diseased gene is pure (double), so it was inherited from father and mother. These animals are affected, will fall ill and continue to inherit this disease. Dogs that do not have a sick gene, but have two healthy genes are pureblood (plant-free). The following examples illustrate this. Mates between: wearer x wearer = 25% free, 50% wearer and 25% affected wearer x free = 50% free, 50% wearer free x free = 100% free affected x affected = 100% affected According to this, it is very important in the future only carrier x free and free x Free to mate. CCL and PLL have finally succeeded in locating the altered gene based on DNA. For us breeders it is a milestone, because with a few drops of blood we can now have our dogs tested. We can make very specific decisions that will ensure that the puppies of future mating are unlikely to become ill with CCL and PLL. How is CCL noticeable? Between the ages of 4 and 8, the following symptoms may occur with the Tibetan Terrier: • Fear of familiar objects, people, and the like. Environment • Tearing, biting, aggression, dreadfulness • disproportionate reactions to auditory vision. Tasting disorders • abnormal gait, buckling of the hindquarters • lost housekeeping • Alzheimer's and dementia-like behavior • seizures similar to epilepsy The following dog breeds already have the CCL test: Tibetan Terrier, American Bulldog, Border Collie, Longhair Teckel and Eng. Setter The PLL test is available for the following dog breeds: Tibetan Terrier, Chinese Crested dog, Jack Russell Terrier, Hunt Terrier, Lancashire Heeler, Miniature Bull Terrier, Parson Russell Terrier, Patterdale Terrier, Sealyham Terrier and Volpino Italiano The PRA test is available for the following breeds : Roughhair / Miniature Shorthair Longhair Dachshund, Sloughis, Irish Setter, Red and White Setter For the CCL / PLL test, please print the leaflet from the University of Hanover Animal Breeding and Inheritance: Leaflet CCL of the TiHo Hannover Further information: Project for the research of the CCL, animal breeding Hanover Optigen (English) AHT federation (English) OFA DNA test (English) For the completeness of the designated dog breeds can not be guaranteed.
