IF it's made it to your area, yes, when you get home, leave your shoes
outside, strip down inside and throw your clothes in the wash:) Shower. All
before you go near the dogs. MANY years ago, I had a bitch bred at home, went
out on an insurance appt., long time clients, we were sitting at their kitchen
table and I heard a dog cough. OMG their daughter had gotten a puppy from
Rescue and it was very sick. I didn't even apologize, I threw my stuff in my
briefcase and I was out the door! They remained clients but I didn't care if
they did or they didn't. I think I did throw those heels away, no way to clean
heels really and the suit went to the dry cleaner. Good luck w/ the breeding!

We made the tough decision to skip showing Iza's bitch in next week's
Mid-Pacific Futurity to breed her ( second breeding is today) although I will
be there to EAT lunch, so Kathy are you saying that when I get home as a
precaution I should change clothes? If so this could be a real problem! I
only have one item of clothing! HELP! lol. FB

I haven't vaccinated since it would be two months before the dogs had both
vaccines and developed immunity anyway, but since I will have two seniors next
year I will vaccinate in the first quarter of 2018. I have always changed
before attending to dogs when returning home from showing (and I don't show if
I have a bitch bred or baby puppies at home), and of course there's no need to
destroy clothes or shoes, this is viral and only lives 12 hours on a hard
surface in the BEST circumstances. I suspect we will see far less of this as
we deal w summer heat waves. Sunshine and all.... Kathy Salvucci, member

The people I know who have vaccinated their dogs have not had any reaction to
the shot. That said, they have only had the first shot and not yet the second.

So far, the flu has killed a few dogs in the Southeast. Friends of mine have
gotten the vaccines for their dogs and the dogs are reacting with temperatures,
lumps at the vaccine site, oozy eyes and other flu symptoms. This flu is much
more serious than anything that has come before. Supposedly it was brought in
by rescue dogs from Asia. It is airborne and very contagious. Serious cases
develop pneumonia and that's when deaths occur. Strong immune systems will
help, immune systems that aren't compromised by poisonous topicals and
ingestibles. I haven't been to any shows since March. I just don't know what
to do OR whether to get the vaccine or not. I've got one of my vets not even
selling the vaccine! The other one will. (The one who won't also stopped
selling Bravecto, as a couple of his patients <dogs> passed away.
What to do, what to do,

How dangerous is this flu? I get the flu now and then and just work through
it. A couple of weeks ago I watched Linda Bankhead do her fantastic job of
judging and wipe her hands after each dog. She said the shepherd people aren't
used to showing the teeth and she didn't want to do it herself. I appreciate
the hand cleaning, but I haven't seen the flu here in Southern California, and
is it that serious? I also want names and addresses for those who are going
to strip before going into their homes. We should set up a caravan to view the
proceedure. Evan http://gsdnational.blogspot.com/

I was at a kennel club mtg last night and a lot of the exhibitors in the club
are not showing their dogs this summer. They are vaccinating but the vaccine
takes about two months to become fully effective. I We are having a show next
month and will follow akc guidelines for frequent disinfecting. Many members
working st the show will strip off before entering the house to try to prevent
infecting their own dogs. Some members are vowing to throw the clothes away
rather than take them through the house to the laundry. The flu can be spread
through the air. Entries at many shows are down by 40 to 60 percent
