!resident’s Colum"The recent shows in Denver
provided some shining moments in the sun for the MHGRC members who achieved well deserved wins and placements in conformation, rally, obedience and agility. These shows are always big, noisy and crowded with spectators but they provide us with a stage for showing off our versatile breed in many venues. Congratulations to all of you on your achievements - whether you won or placed or just enjoyed the experience with your dog. In a few weekends we will be gathering for our March
meeting at Jeffco. This is always our best attended event -is it merely the free breakfast? We will start down the buffet line at 8:30 on Saturday and then have a brief business meeting followed by our annual Goldens Only fun match. Plan to attend and to help run the many rings that will be buzzing with activity. Well-known professional handler and brand new mother Karen Livingston will be judging conformation. PLEASE RSVP to Ruthie Nordahl so we know how much food to order! [email protected]
On Sunday Don and Vicki Carson have agreed to conduct a grooming demonstration at Jeffco. Of all of the programs Mile Hi has ever presented, I
think the meeting program that Don and Vicki did about ten years ago at Northglenn has been the most fondly remembered. I am hoping that members - both old-timers and newbies - will come and bring their grooming materials and share their knowledge and equipment! Since we have the building all day and Don and Vicki have a long distance to travel, this event will begin at 9 AM at the Jeffco arena bldg.

!resident’s Column Con#
Angela McLean and Lauren Relay are working hard on the two MHGRC specialty shows that will be held in conjunction with the Greeley Kennel Club all-breed shows in August. With the efforts of these two co-chairs and the many club members who have volunteered for various assignments, I predict the back-to-back specialties will be a big hit with golden fanciers in our area.Also in conjunction with the specialties, MHGRC will host a CCA on Saturday August 17 at the same location as the specialties. The Conformation Assessment is an excellent program where your dog is evaluated by three breed experts in a noncompetitive setting. So if you have ever wondered exactly what a conformation judge is looking for - this is where to find out. OR if you wonder how your performance dog stacks up to the breed standard, enter the CCA. Our evaluators will be both of our specialty judges, Ken Matthews and Ellen Hardin joined by Collette Jaynes, the Sweepstakes judge on Friday. To learn more about the CCA, go to “grca.org” and read about this innovative program. Wait for further information which should be sent out soon on our Constant Contact notifications.After many frantic pleas for help with the MHGRC Hunt Test, Warren and Kathy Frizell have stepped up and volunteered to chair this popular event. Thanks to the two of you for once again stepping up do the big jobs!Coming up this summer we are looking forward to hosting Chris Zink for a Seminar June 29 and 30th and then Connie Cleveland next March. More info shortly!
On a final note - I want to thank and recognize the MHGRC Board members who are stepping forward and getting the job done. Monica has done a great job taking charge of things like the March match and also writing to prospective members in a most cheery and friendly fashion. Randy has been outstanding as a grounds person at our shows and also using his son Chris as the designated trailer hauler. Keith also has a take-charge attitude with regards to the club field activities. Laura manages to get the agility trials staffed - not an easy job. Bruce has jumped into the joys of being the V-P and doing the various responsibilities entailed in that job. Meanwhile Mardee is keeping track of correspondence and minutes while Angela continues to provide us with amazing financial accountings of club activities. This great group is keeping me headed in the right direction and focused, which is not the easiest thing to do. But then again, these people are leading a pretty awesome club of active members who always step in when needed. Thanks to you all!

Dear Golden Retriever Breeder,
Congratulations on your new or upcoming litter! As a dedicated breeder, you’ve worked hard to ensure the best possible future for your puppies, and we know you’re already excited about what they may accomplish. Now the Golden Retriever Foundation would like to take this opportunity to tell you how your litter can make a bigger impact on our breed than you may have imagined.
Morris Animal Foundation is conducting the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study that is enrolling 3,000 Goldens between 6 months and 2 years of age in the largest and longest study ever conducted to advance veterinary medicine for dogs. While a study of this magnitude has never been done before in dogs, similar studies in humans, such as the Framingham Heart Study and the Nurses’ Health Study, have contributed a wealth of information that is improving and extending lives every day. These observational studies have provided invaluable information about human health, and we are incredibly excited that Morris chose our breed for this groundbreaking study in dogs. By gathering non-invasive samples and observational data over the lifetime of enrolled dogs, researchers hope to identify potentially modifiable risk factors for the development of cancer and other diseases that affect Goldens.
As a breeder, you have a special role to play in the success of this study. Because this study will gather genetic, environmental, and nutritional information, it will be valuable to include multiple puppies from the same genetic lines. Although all enrollees are important to the study, data from littermates that experience different environmental factors and diets during their lifetimes may provide unique scientific insights that could make a significant impact on the long-term health of Golden Retrievers.
We invite you to include a Puppy Buyer Letter http://www.grca.org/pdf/health/PuppyBuyerLetter.pdf and study brochure in all of your puppy packets. Brochures are available from Morris Animal Foundation by calling 855.4GR.DOGS (855.447.3647). In addition, you can email a copy of the Puppy Buyer Letter to previous buyers whose dogs are under 2 years of age to encourage them to enroll their dogs in the study.
Finally, we ask you to consider enrolling your own dogs in the study. Please note that it is important for dogs to remain in the study throughout their lives, even if they change ownership. Therefore, if you decide to place an enrolled dog in the future, we request that you ask the new owner to continue the commitment by keeping their new dog in the study.
The Golden Retriever Club of America and the Golden Retriever Foundation are standing together with Morris Animal Foundation to convey to breeders and owners that this is truly an important opportunity for our breed. The success of the study depends on you, and your help to reach potential participants is sincerely appreciated.
Please visit www.CanineLifetimeHealth.org to register and learn more. Thank you so very much for your passion and dedication to improving the future of the breed we love!

Golden retriever study suggests neutering affects dog healthFebruary 13, 2013
Neutering, and the age at which a dog is neutered, may affect the animal’s risk for developing certain cancers and joint diseases, according to a new study of golden retrievers by a team of researchers at the University of California, Davis.
The study, which examined the health records of 759 golden retrievers, found a surprising doubling of hip dysplasia among male dogs neutered before one year of age. This and other results were published Feb. 13 in the online scientific journal PLOS ONE.
“The study results indicate that dog owners and service-dog trainers should carefully consider when to have their male or female dogs neutered,” said lead investigator Benjamin Hart, a distinguished professor emeritus in the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.
“It is important to remember, however, that because different dog breeds have different vulnerabilities to various diseases, the effects of early and late neutering also may vary from breed to breed,” he said.
While results of the new study are revealing, Hart said the relationship between neutering and disease-risk remains a complex issue. For example, the increased incidence of joint diseases among early-neutered dogs is likely a combination of the effect of neutering on the young dog’s growth plates as well as the increase in weight on the joints that is commonly seen in neutered dogs.
Dog owners in the United States are overwhelmingly choosing to neuter their dogs, in large part to prevent pet overpopulation or avoid unwanted behaviors. In the U.S., surgical neutering — known as spaying in females — is usually done when the dog is less than one year old.
In Europe, however, neutering is generally avoided by owners and trainers and not promoted by animal health authorities, Hart said.
During the past decade, some studies have indicated that neutering can have several adverse health effects for certain dog breeds. Those studies examined individual diseases using data drawn from one breed or pooled from several breeds.
Against that backdrop, Hart and colleagues launched their study, using a single hospital database. The study was designed to examine the effects of neutering on the risks of several diseases in the same breed, distinguishing between males and females and between early or late neutering and non-neutering.
The researchers chose to focus on the golden retriever because it is one of the most popular breeds in the U.S. and Europe and is vulnerable to various cancers and joint disorders. The breed also is favored for work as a service dog.
The research team reviewed the records of female and male golden retrievers, ranging in age from 1 to 8 years, that had been examined at UC Davis’ William R. Pritchard Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital for two joint disorders and three cancers: hip dysplasia, cranial cruciate ligament tear, lymphosarcoma, hemangiosarcoma and mast cell tumor. The dogs were classified as intact (not neutered), neutered early (before 12 months age), or neutered late (at or after 12 months age).
Joint disorders and cancers are of particular interest because neutering removes the male dog’s testes and the female’s ovaries, interrupting production of certain hormones that play key roles in important body processes such as closure of bone growth plates, and regulation of the estrous cycle in female dogs.
The study revealed that, for all five diseases analyzed, the disease rates were significantly higher in both males and females that were neutered either early or late compared with intact (non-neutered) dogs.
Specifically, early neutering was associated with an increase in the occurrence of hip dysplasia, cranial cruciate ligament tear and lymphosarcoma in males and of cranial cruciate ligament tear in females. Late neutering was associated with the subsequent occurrence of mast cell tumors and hemangiosarcoma in females.
In most areas, the findings of this study were consistent with earlier studies, suggesting similar increases in disease risks. The new study, however, was the first to specifically report an increased risk of late neutering for mast cell tumors and hemangiosarcoma.
Furthermore, the new study showed a surprising 100 percent increase, or
Furthermore, the new study showed a surprising 100 percent increase, or doubling, of the incidence of hip dysplasia among early-neutered males. Earlier studies had reported a 17 percent increase among all neutered dogs compared to all non-neutered dogs, indicating the importance of the new study in making gender and age-of-neutering comparisons.
Other researchers on this UC Davis study were: Gretel Torres de la Riva, Thomas Farver and Lynette Hart, School of Veterinary Medicine; Anita Oberbauer, Department of Animal Science; Locksley Messam, Department of Public Health Sciences; and Neil Willits, Department of Statistics.
