If you’re even thinking of breeding or buying a puppy, the Puppy Culture program is for you -

Puppy Culture will teach you how doing just the right thing at the right time can change destiny for puppies and their owners.

Watch the introduction and why we made the film, here:http://www.puppyculture.com/pcintro.html

We’ve assembled a team of leading veterinarians, behaviorists, and breeders to follow a litter of puppies as they pass through critical development periods in their first 12 weeks of life. We follow the same litter week by week through our exercises and protocols so you can see the practical application and profound, sometimes almost unbe-lievable, results of our program.You’ll receive step by step instructions on what to do at each critical juncture, including:

- Early Neurological Stimulation- Rearing and Weaning Suggestions- Safe Protocols for Early Socialization- Environmental Enrichment- Emotional resiliency exercises- Handling Fear Periods- Problem prevention protocols- Training basic skills- Vaccination Protocols and how they relate to Socialization Setting Up Socialization Sessions With Other Dogs

You’ll watch it once for fun, and then over and then over and over again as a reference. The DVD set contains four and a half hours of beautifully edited footage that you’ll enjoy watching. Our experts explain the principles behind Puppy Culture’s rearing and socialization protocols, always in an easy to understand and approachable fashion. This is painless learning!

Easy to find the information you want when you need it. The encyclopedic material is organized into 3 to 10 minutes sections with an easy to follow index so you can reference the material you want, when you want it.

BORN LEADERS OR KILLER GENES?Genes, which many people think of as written in stone, can switch on and off or express themselves very differently depending on environmental influences. Thus, the same gene can express itself as a negative trait or a positive trait, depending on environmental input, especially very early in life. Take, for example, the aggressive variant of the human MAO-A gene, otherwise known as the “Warrior Gene.” At its base, this gene causes people to respond aggressively and have less fear, and also create less empathy for others. Given a supportive, nurturing childhood environment people with this variant grow up to be our presidents and community leaders, make energetic

and wonderful spouses and parents, and tend to be financially successful because they have the competitiveness and focus to rise to the top. If, however, an individual with this variant of the MAO-A gene is exposed to a severely traumatic event very early in life, he has a high risk of becoming a sociopath or even a serial killer.

Now, your dog may never grow up to be president or a mass murderer, but is it possible that early environmental influence can determine the difference between the dog that shows like he owns the ground he stands on and the dog thatʼs such a sonofabitch that you need to take Xanax and a good insurance policy into the ring to show him?

The study of environmental influence on genetic expression is still in itʼs infancy, but thereʼs overwhelming evidence that early experiences and input can effect the way genes play out. But thatʼs not even the beginning of the story.

SINS OF THE FATHERSRats who were repeatedly exposed to a smell and then given a mild electrical shock, began to respond fearfully when exposed to that smell even if the shock was not administered. Not exactly mind blowing information but consider this - when those male rats were bred, their offspring showed fear in the presence of that smell, and when those offspring were bred, their children also showed fear in the presence of that smell. So that traumatic experience was

I’m assuming you’re a dedicated breeder, who puts a lot of time, money, and energy into combining what you believe is the best genetic material when you do a breeding. You back that up by giving your bitch the best prenatal care and nutrition possible, and then follow through with sound rearing, nutrition, socialization, and training for the puppies. You’ve done everything you can, and the rest is up to the genetic roll of the dice, right?

Well, maybe not.

THE SURPRISING THIRD SIDE OF THE NATURE VS NURTURE DEBATE

by JANE KILLION, Director of the new film, “Puppy Culture - The Critical First 12 Weeks That Can Shape Your Puppy’s Future”www.puppyculture.com

shape SHIFTINGGENES


literally encoded in the male ratʼs DNA and passed down through the generations. Now thatʼs mind blowing.

SMART GENESThe rat study seems to indicate that the genetic material that is passed from generation to generation can actually adapt to environmental influence in a way that maximizes survival for the subsequent generations. This drops a bomb in the already contentious nature vs nurture debate, and has given scientists and dog breeders pause for thought. Now do we not only have to consider the rearing of the puppies and the care and comfort of the mother, but of the father, and of both grandparents and who knows how far behind that.

The influence of environment on the genetic material of fathers has been demonstrated again and again in humans, although the mechanisms for this change are not yet well understood. For instance, a Swedish study indicated that men who experienced famine before puberty were less likely to have grandsons with diabetes or heart disease than men who had access to normal

amounts of food before puberty. A study in the UK found that fathers who began smoking before age 11 were more likely to have obese children.

The bottom line is, we can no longer think of the sires of our litters as hermetically sealed vessels to carry genetic information from one generation to the next. - their care, upbringing and experiences are important to the future of their children, grandchildren, and possibly beyond.

WISDOM FOR THE WHELPING BOXSo what is the practical implication of all this? While epigenetics in dogs is just now starting to be examined, there are some reasonable inferences about what we should be doing with our breeding stock to maximize positive qualities in our dogsʼ genetic material:

1. Keep your bitch calm and comfortable - Itʼs been proven time and time again that stressed mothers give birth to more stressed offspring with decreased learning and memory, and those offspring

may display more negative behavior traits. Hereʼs some ways you can reduce stress and help your bitches be good moms:

I. Listen to your bitch - Some bitches like having the support of their “pack” when theyʼre in whelp or have a litter, and some bitches just really appreciate a private, quiet area away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the house. If she wants a private room, give it to her. If she doesnʼt want dogs near the door to her room, put baby gates up to create a buffer zone.

II. Go ahead, spoil her - even if youʼre a top down kind of person, maybe you want to let a few things slide during this time. I was lucky enough to learn from some great breeders whoʼve been at this for a long time. These breeders were very traditional and ruled their households with an iron fist. Yet, when they had a bitch in whelp or with puppies, they dissolved into a cooing bowl of jello with their girls. Thatʼs the wisdom of the ages coming through. Try a little extra indulgence and letting things go instead of correcting your bitch when sheʼs pregnant and on whelping box duty. It will go


a long way toward reducing her stress.

III. Vitamin L - Cuddle and stroke your bitch as much as possible. Thereʼs some evidence that puppies from mothers who received caressing and affection during pregnancy give birth to more docile puppies, and those puppies may enjoy being stroked and touched more than puppies from mothers who did not receive this kind of touching and affection. Our girls get very clingy when theyʼre in whelp and the fact is theyʼre probably craving some good love vitamins for their puppies. We use a 48” whelping box for our Bull Terriers so we have room to lie down in it and stroke our girls, both before and after they whelp.

2. Shield Your Puppies During Their Critical Period - At least the first 12 weeks of your puppiesʼ lives should be carefully scripted by you. Challenges and stress- provoking stimuli should be introduced in carefully and scientifically sound doses, and the puppiesʼ environment should be stimulating, but very carefully protected from any really traumatic or frightening experiences. In our DVD, “PUPPY CULTURE:

THE CRITICAL FIRST 12 WEEKS THAT CAN SHAPE YOUR PUPPYʼS FUTURE” we go in great detail on how to craft this kind of optimal experience for your puppies in their first 12 weeks, but hereʼs a couple of tips that most people overlook:

I. Wide open spaces - Make sure your bitch always has a way to get away from her puppies if she needs to. Never close your bitch in with the puppies and force her to stay. A keening swarm of puppies who eat like they have hollow legs can be too much for some bitches. You want to give your mom a chance to escape rather than have to confront the Mongol hoards. Certainly, she should be able and allowed to jump out of the whelping box or weaning pen and leave the puppies behind. Better yet, you can also build a platform in the weaning pen if you have a large area - itʼs a great way to let her stay with her puppies yet get away from the little darlings when she needs a break.

II. Respect The Double Edged Sword - The emotional sensitivity that will allow a puppy to be socialized and accept something with as little as one exposure during the critical socialization period, cuts both ways.


It will also allow the puppies to imprint a bad experience in as little as one exposure. If youʼre ever in doubt as to whether anything might be too frightening for your puppies, or if people you have over can be trusted not to scare or handle the puppies roughly, or whether your neighborʼs dog really is a nice dog for the puppies to play with, always, always, always err on the side of caution and pass up on that interaction. Keep all interactions with people and dogs positive during this time.

Itʼs not been proven that negative experiences during the critical socialization period will negatively influence DNA, but given the research which shows that male rats can pass down an acquired fear of a smell to their kids and grandkids, itʼs a really good bet that a traumatic experience during the start of a puppyʼs life could have a similar effect. Why take the chance?

DADS MATTERI think collective wisdom is there that we need to give our bitches a stable, healthy, and loving environment for them to produce stable, healthy, and loving puppies. Science is really just confirming what good breeders already have been intuitively doing long before anyone studied it.

But the thought that this kind of nurturing environment could be vitally important to the sireʼs DNA is thought provoking and new, and I would certainly encourage breeders to start thinking about how a stable and loving environment for a stud dog, whether itʼs one you choose or one you own, might influence the genetics of his progeny for generations to come.

NEXT EDITION

The Next Edition of E Dalmatians

is our Feb/Mar 2015 Edition

Deadline is January 20, 2015



After her vet told me she was deaf, I started using sign language immediately. It was no big deal and seemed natural for both of us. She loved learning and train-ing.

With Lottie’s eagerness to learn and her free-spirit, I knew she was not going to let her deafness define her. She started out as a Canine Good Citizen and Canine Ambassador. We had so much fun visit-ing schools and libraries; I knew we had something special to share! Lottie Dot received AKC’s Distinguished Therapy Dog a few weeks ago. So far she is the only deaf Dalmatian to have this title. I hope more will be recognized but first they have to be given credibility and worthy of life and love.

We’ve been a therapy dog team for 8 years, R.E.A.D® educators for 7. Lottie Dot is the foundation for my nonprofit, TN Safety Spotters “Animal Friends Teaching Children”. She’s a mascot for The Kind-

In 2006, Lottie Dot was rescued off a busy high-way during a snowstorm in Oklahoma when she was 2 months old, frozen and starving.

ness Revolution, a nonprofit that teaches kids kindness is cool. Trained as a K9 Public Safety Educator, Lottie has taught thousands of children how to be safe around dogs. She retired last year from fire service after teaching 10, 000+ kids how to stop, drop and roll in schools. She’s left lifesaving memo-ries to thousands and has no idea what a great example she sets for any dog with or without a disability.

Lottie’s ‘watch me’ is sharp and under-stands ASL along with 60+ hand com-mands. She has a keen sense to a person’s moods, watching their body lan-guage and facial expressions. She knows who needs her the most. Everywhere we go people look at her and instantly smile. She responds with a happy, wagging tail and an approachable demeanor.

When we first became a therapy dog team, my goal was to visit the children at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. I knew she could make their stay brighter and less frightening. That goal came true; in fact she just retired last year after vol-unteering 6 years. The staff, parents and kids continue to talk about the way she seemed to understand what they were feeling. She knew when to be still and just accept petting or when to be funny to make them laugh. She made them feel like something magic was happening. I know Lottie misses her St. Jude visits when I see her ears perk up when we drive pass the hospital.

After working 7 years at the VA Hospital in Memphis, Lottie Dot was given a retire-ment party last year. Her visits helped

motivate hundreds of Veterans to regain their mobility with physical therapy.Lottie’s 8 years working with high school teens with special needs continues, al-though not as often. She enjoys reading with them, making the students feel like the best readers in the world!

With every visit, Lottie Dot makes miracles happen.

Our first visit to a deaf school, Lottie Dot and I gave a presentation on Dog Safety. It wasn’t until 20 minutes into the pro-gram that I told the students Lottie was deaf. They were shocked and kept saying “She doesn’t look it, are you sure?” The students learned something very impor-tant about themselves that day. Lottie Dot raised their self-esteem in a way an adult could not.

Just recently at an elementary school, Lot-tie taught a child who was severely afraid of dogs that not all dogs are scary. After just a few moments with her, the student was petting and even gave her a hug.

Lottie made a difference in this student’s future in just a few minutes.

Lottie and I have been on hundreds of adventures. It only takes her seconds to bond and her natural ability to calm makes her an integral part of the healing process, emotionally or physically. Her work days have lessened but her memories live on.

A children’s grief camp, abuse center, or a woman’s prison, each had something in common, they needed Lottie Dot’s uncon-ditional love, acceptance and understand-ing with a sense of normalcy, without being labeled or judged. I continue to get requests almost daily to share my “four-legged healer” but it’s time for her to rest. Lottie Dot has devoted her entire life to others, sharing her beautiful spirit.

With support from the Deaf Dalmatian com-munity, I continue to rescue, train, and get certifications for therapy work for these very special spotted dogs.

Lottie Dot’s legacy as a distinguished thera-py dog continues and I hope one day soon, deaf Dalmatians will be known as part of an amazing culture, not a pitiful defect. Congratulations, Lottie Dot. Job well done!
