Still sweet fruit, amazing length and probably at its peak now. #coriole

03.01.2022 Mosman Oodle Holiday guests last week

03.01.2022 My Covid-19 Story... Yesterday Daisy collapsed twice during our gentle walk of the block. An emergency visit to the after hours vet followed. I parked downstair...s and carried her up in the lift to see the signs in the vet lobby saying that because of Covid nobody was allowed in. Eventually the vet nurse came to get Daisy. Stupidly I assumed the sign was for others, not for me with a very ill dog in my arms! Bad assumption! Covid Rules! When she asked me to hand Daisy over I lost it. I just didnt want to let her go. She was in pain, she was confused, she was in a strange place. But there was no alternative. I handed her over and then had to go down to an empty garage to sit in my car and wait for news. Of course a jolly good cry ensued, plus a big think about things. And here is the point of my covid story. Daisy is a dog, albeit a much loved one. Although Id thought about and respected it, I cannot really imagine the agonies of families and humans in this Covid situation. My heart goes out to you all, who have lost a parent, partner, a family member to COVID-19 and they havent been able to be with them. To comfort them to tell them how much they love you or to give him reassurance in a scary time. (Daisy is snoring at my feet tonight... lots of drugs but OK - again - for a little while longer)

03.01.2022 Harvey, the Havanese

02.01.2022 , & Theyre cute right! Oodles became a fad over a decade ago, it started with the Lab x Poodle that was called a Labradood...le, a dog bred to be a Guide Dog for those allergic to dogs back in the early 80s, as you could probably fathom by the lack of Labradoodle Guide Dogs, the project was not successful for various reasons relating to the dogs suitability. What happens when a type of dog becomes a fad is they become a money-making opportunity, inexperienced individuals, some with hearts of gold and others only with $$$ in their eyes jump on board and start breeding for demand - right now were seeing that with French Bulldogs who for now seem to have overtaken the Oodle craze. Inexperienced or simply unethical breeders went ahead and started breeding programs without understanding structure, coat genetics, disease genetics, genetics in general and temperament so what we started to see was dogs with poor structure that meant many would end up with expensive surgeries to fix conditions such as slipping patellas - this is where the kneecap of the dog dislocates, they were also being affected by conditions such as Hip Dysplasia and thats just the start of it. - consumers were led to believe that by crossing 2 breeds you would get rid of the genetic conditions associated with those 2 breeds but what they were effectively doing was potentially doubling up on problems because they had very little understanding of those issues and the mode of inheritance so they would breed for an example, a Poodle to a Cavalier that were either affected by the same condition or came from a bloodline where that problem occurred. Take-home point, if you breed a dog with a structural fault to another dog with the same structural fault then youre not creating hybrid vigour, youre creating a problem. Let us have a look at one of the most common Oddles, the Cavalier x Poodle commercially named the Cavoodle (there is no such breed) and what conditions they are more prone to: () Diabetes Mellitus Cushings Disease Allergies Atopic dermatitis Otitis Externa Pododermatitis Sebaceous adenitis Sebaceous gland tumour Periodontal disease () Allergies Atopic dermatitis Sebaceous adenitis () Diabetes Mellitus Cushings Disease Allergies Atopic dermatitis Sebaceous gland tumour Epilepsy Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) (X-linked) Periodontal disease Chronic Valvular Disease (CVD) Keratitis sicca Atopic dermatitis Anal sac impaction Otitis externa Syringomyelia You may notice that occurs in both breeds so breeding 2 breeds together with the same issues does not make it Hybrid Vigor, it just increases the risk of that condition occurring, no different to breeding 2 purebred dogs of the same breed together who are affected or come from lines with dogs affected by that same condition. This condition is often seen in dogs with straight stifles, the dogs rear legs dont bend at the knee in a standing position as much as they should, this also means that they are at an increased risk of knee injuries. Cruciate ligament injuries are always one we worry about in such dogs whether it be from a strained cruciate to a fully torn one that needs surgery. If a Poodle x is a dog you really really want to buy this would be my advice: - Dont buy from an individual who doesnt do health testing for the conditions the breeds they are using are affected by - these are not tests carried out by the local vet, they are often DNA tests, Imaging and so forth - I strongly suggest you do a lot more research into this before looking at any Poodle x. - Ask what the grades are of the Patellas of both Dam and Sire - Patellas are graded 1-4, anything 2.5 and above is generally considered a surgical case. If they cant answer this question, I would suggest you look for a different breeder, I would also encourage you to consider a registered ANKC purebred breeder who does all the relevant tests for their breeds and does not breed on with dogs with structural issues. - A crossbreed should not cost you more than what a purebred does, so please dont pay thousands of dollars, especially for one whose Dam & Sire have had no genetic & health screening. - Please never buy one from someone you cant meet in person and see the conditions the dogs live in - Oodles are often overbred in large-scale breeding facilities and sold online and through pet shops. - If youre looking for a low/no shedding dog then a Poodle x is not necessary for you as it cannot be guaranteed what their coat will be like - they may shed a lot and need a lot of grooming. - Get Pet insurance before you go to your first Vet visit so nothing can be called an existing condition by your insurance company. - If your dog is diagnosed with slipping patellas or another ortho conditions, please ask your Vet for a referral to an Animal Physio, here in Sydney we recommend Whole Family Health at St Marys - they may be able to help you avoid surgery or if surgery is required, they can help prepare your dog for this and help them recover as well. No matter how lovely the breeder of your current or future Oodle is, if theyre not genetic testing, health screening then theyre not doing the right thing for the dog and they dont deserve your money. Whilst Mother Natures gives no guarantees, selecting a breeder who is trying their hardest to breed healthy puppies by doing all the relevant tests is the right place to start. Theres plenty of very adorable and unique purebred dogs you may like to consider and talk to breeders about the screening they do and if they are a suitable match for you, such as: Affenpinscher https://www.dogzonline.com.au/b/community/affenpinscher.asp Bedlington Terrier https://www.dogzonline.com.au//comm/bedlington-terrier.asp Bichon Frise https://www.dogzonline.com.au/br/community/bichon-frise.asp Cavalier King Charles Spaniel https://www.dogzonline.com.au//cavalier-king-charles-spani Chihuahua (Long Coat) https://www.dogzonline.com.au//com/chihuahua-long-coat.asp American Cocker Spaniel https://www.dogzonline.com.au//community/american-cocker-s Finnish Lapphund https://www.dogzonline.com.au//commun/finnish-lapphund.asp Griffon Bruxellois https://www.dogzonline.com.au//comm/griffon-bruxellois.asp Havanese https://www.dogzonline.com.au/breeds/community/havanese.asp Japanese Chin https://www.dogzonline.com.au/b/community/japanese-chin.asp Japanese Spitz https://www.dogzonline.com.au//community/japanese-spitz.asp Keeshond https://www.dogzonline.com.au/breeds/community/keeshond.asp King Charles Spaniel https://www.dogzonline.com.au//co/king-charles-spaniel.asp Lhasa Apso https://www.dogzonline.com.au/bree/community/lhasa-apso.asp Lagotto - Check this one out https://www.dogzonline.com.au//commu/lagotto-romagnolo.asp Lowchen https://www.dogzonline.com.au/breeds/community/lowchen.asp Maltese https://www.dogzonline.com.au/breeds/community/maltese.asp Papillon https://www.dogzonline.com.au/breeds/community/papillon.asp Pekingese https://www.dogzonline.com.au/breeds/community/pekingese.asp Pomeranian https://www.dogzonline.com.au/bree/community/pomeranian.asp Miniature Poodle https://www.dogzonline.com.au//commun/poodle-miniature.asp Toy Poodle https://www.dogzonline.com.au/bree/community/poodle-toy.asp Schipperke https://www.dogzonline.com.au/bree/community/schipperke.asp Yorkshire Terrier https://www.dogzonline.com.au//commu/yorkshire-terrier.asp Important note about this post: This post is not a beat up on the Oodle, it is simply putting a myth to bed about Hybrid Vigor and outlining how you can make safer choices. We still have a long way to go to understand the mode of inheritance in a lot of diseases but we can first start by not supporting breeders who breed 2 dogs together who have the same defect/fault.
