I agree a catalogue is very important! I had to laugh at the above statement..........oh how true, especially a stranger having a look at the catalogue.....seriously some people really think they had a right to a have a look regardless. I have even had people try and take it out of my bag when it has just been hanging out a bit..... some people..... I too like to look at the other breeds, names etc. Yes always buy a catalogue and you can guarantee it will grow legs I don't mind sharing with the people we sit with but when people who wouldn't normally give you the time of day say "oh you have a cat can I have a look at such & such?" you feel like screaming get your own. Perhaps the clubs could look at including the cost of catalogues in with the entry fee and then people wouldn't have to be 'tight' about buying one. I know of a number of specialty clubs already do.

Thanks for the results

It was a wicked day for wind and sadly the ground was soft, but gazebos were erected and remained standing and I do think 10 gazebos loosing roof or flying away is a little exaggerated. I know of two personally that went travelling one was securely pegged and the other was tied to it without pegs. Like others have said if they are pegged and erected correctly most will remain standing. One must remember that particular show you are talking about probably had the best weather it has had since dog showing was introducecd. It is also a ruling in Tas that all gazebos must be secured properly. We have been the victims of an awol gazebo car damage for which the owners of the gazebo were liable.

Posted on behalf of Luvmywhiteshepherd as she currently doesn't have access to DOL at work. Good Morning, I rarely post on DOL anymore, but I was alerted to a few posts regarding my breed that were incorrect & did not contain all information in order for someone to make an informed decision about purchasing a puppy. To make things clear to the OP, so they do not become as confused as most people are about White Swiss Shepherd Dogs due to information not being posted correctly about this breed. The White Swiss Shepherd Dog, is a recognised breed in Australia, however, buyers must be aware, that ONLY dogs that fulfill the ANKC criteria & have been re-registered are the only pedigree/registered "White Swiss Shepherd Dogs" in Australia at this time. Please see ruling below. • All White Swiss Shepherd Dogs imported into Australia MUST comply with ANKC Regulation Part 6 Clauses 3 and all its sub-clauses. • If in the future people wish to have White German Shepherd Dogs recognised they will have to do so as a completely new separate breed with a NEW Name, and comply with ANKC Regulation Part 6 Clause 9.2 and all its sub – clauses. • The only dogs born in Australia that can be registered as White Swiss Shepherd Dogs are those dogs resulting from the mating of two imported White Swiss Shepherd Dogs that have been registered with the ANKC on their Main Stud register, or further generations resulting from such matings. Officially registered White Swiss Shepherd Dogs (Registered with the ANKC) can be shown at any ANKC sanctioned All Breeds show in Australia. I could show every weekend if I wanted to! So we get a lot more than just one show a year as was posted above. The dogs Bilbo is referring to are NOT registered White Swiss Shepherd Dogs. The club that registers the "Australian White Shepherd, White German Shepherd" dogs & hosts those shows are not affiliated with the ANKC, nor are their shows. It was hoped, that these dogs would be recognised & accepted in Australia as has been done in other countries, but unfortunately at this time, that has not happened. It is NOT due to politics that the dogs can only be shown once a year. Perhaps if things were acted on correctly years ago & didn't have people in there self destructing it from the inside out, and all the constant fighting & denigrating of those that chose to import & breed officially registered dogs, by owners of 'aussie whites', then it may be a different story. Yes, the unofficially registered aussie dogs are great, I should know, I bred them first!  Arguing & ramming it down peoples throats in a public forum trying to justify their greatness doesn't reflect well on the breed & people involved sadly. I have been at complete peace removing myself from that & enjoying the ANKC White Swiss Shepherd Dogs. I personally have offered my support to assist in getting the Australian dogs recognised, as I feel some are quality dogs well deserving of being included in the breed, only to have it rudely thrown back in my face by their 'recognition & publicity officer', wow, they're doing a great job eh? Let's hope with the recent 'change of guard', the club will move forward positively into the future. And again, regardless of the past treatment, I will help any way I can as I am truly passionate about the breed & want to see it succeed & thrive in Australia. But, until any of this happens, the dogs are in all honestly, unregistered White Shepherds or White German Shepherds, which are being 'marketed' as White Swiss. If the OP is interested in a registered White Swiss Shepherd Dog, I recommend they visit the Breeder Listing on Dogzonline breeder pages for the White Swiss Shepherd Dog where there is a listing of ANKC breeders. If you are unsure about whether a breeder and/or their puppies are registered with the ANKC, call up your state affiliate (Dogs NSW, Dogs QLD etc) and they can check to see if the breeder/kennel name is registered with them. Also, in Australia, the White Swiss Shepherd Dog is now stood 4-Square (not 3 point like a German Shepherd Dog.) It is important to note that these dogs are 2 different breeds, with different proportions, and, to avoid confusion, ANKC exhibitors of this breed do not stand their dogs like German Shepherds in the ring. If you have any further questions you can email [email protected]

State Bred isn't offered in every state, I know Tassie does. We split our dogs into different classes when we have dogs of the same age.

The one that I know of and that is still in operation is Davcar and they are located in QLD. Davcar There are FX trailers but I am not sure if they are still in business, I do know a lot of people had problems with them.
