Dancing Skies Starchief “Cool” Herding We
are extremely pleased to say that the first Dancing Skies aussie has
achieved her ASCA Working Trial
Championship (WTCH)!!! A VERY
great CONGRATULATIONS to WTCH Dancing Skies Total Eclipse CDX RTDs
“Ling” Ling
is owned by Diamond Aire Kennel and we warmly thank Marie Murphy for making
this championship a reality.
Although we have consciously bred for herding instinct in our
aussies, there has been very little opportunity for
them to train for herding trials or to compete in Scandinavia. The first ASCA trials were recently
arranged in Finland and in Sweden. Dancing Skies would like to heartily congratulate its
first dog to achieve an ASCA started title in Scandinavia. Warm congratulations to both Sparky and her
owner, Anna Aukia-Toivonen.
Dancing Skies Starburst STDs
“Sparky” Several of our dogs do work on farms with sheep, cows
and one works with reindeer. |

Eyes: In 12 years of breeding aussies, we have had almost no
probems with eyes in our dogs. Except
for a 7 week old puppy with a possible case of PPM (Persistent Pupiliary
Membrane), all have been healthy. In August 2007 one 4 ½ year old male was
diagnosed with a Grade 1 cataract in one eye.
At this time it is not possible to say if it is genetic or not. |
|
Other health issues Dancing Skies dogs have been remarkably healthy over the
years. We have had 3 serious cases of
illness over recent years, however: In April 2004 , a 6½ year old male died from AIHA, which is an
autoimmune disease. The vet said it
was brought on by a reaction to antibiotics/cortisone used to treat a bladder
infection.
With
the aid of medication Santtu continued to live an active life, competing in
obedience and agility. In the end,
however, the disease became too much for him and in May 2007 his family made
the painful decision to let him go.
Dancing Skies offers its heartfelt condolences to Santtu’s
family. FIN EST CH BALTW-00 Dancing Skies Sunsinger BH “Santtu” In August 2007 a 6 year old
male was diagnosed with Trombosytopenia.
The cause of this condition is unclear but he is recovering well. |
