It was truly a great weekend Maxbox did you let the pub know that you weren't happy with your meals? I most certainly would have as I know they would have welcomed the feedback. I think the problem with the meal was they didn't realise so many people would be about and didn't have enough staff in the kitchen. (Not only was there a dog show, but Rodeo people about for that as well) They didn't really seem interested in feedback, too busy. Fair enough, was a huge weekend, we are booked in there tonight for a meal, so we see how it is.

If they ever do it again, I'm hoping to be there next time. I'm itching to get out and about again now that the puppies are all older and I can leave home for more than a couple of hours at a time! Yes they are planning on doing something similar next year, but the other clubs should use some imagination and get another couple of weekend extravaganza's going, it was lovely to see people enjoying each others company and the sportsmanship shown was great.P.S. Ellz have u entered any shows in preparation?!?!

It was truly a great weekend Maxbox did you let the pub know that you weren't happy with your meals? I most certainly would have as I know they would have welcomed the feedback.We certainly had a fantastic weekend enjoyed with great results, great people and not to mention the great food we shared. Maybe it is something that other Tassie clubs could look at on long weekends, we may not have the numbers but we need to catch up with our mainland counterparts and move forward with new inovations.

Yes you may well be.....I had a bitch win the breed rising star pointscore nationally last year, despite only attending shows in Tasmania and a couple on the mainland. If she was eligible for the full year this year she wouldn't have a chance. Mind you the couple of times where she was exhibited on the mainland she did very well. And 9 times out of 10 when being exhibited she was against her brother (who finished 2nd nationally) and sometimes older animals who are very competitive across all states.

Hmmm my fav GSD's would have to have been *Ch. Dorsten Monte Cito AZ H.neg and *Ch. Quincito Awol A both corner stones of the breed here in Australia Weims would have to be Am/Can/Gr. Ch. Graytskys Smokin In Havana (Imp USA) definately left his mark on the breed in Australia and a fab dog to watch in the ring.

It is just one of the minor hiccups in this type of competition, people claim awards that their dogs DIDN"T win, but then it up to someone else to prove that they didn't. Like firestone said we only do the pointscore for our own benefit and we are pleased with how our lovely team is performing.

And the puppy looks lovely, well deserved.

My sashes and ribbons always mean a lot. The best prizes : - Cash, Gift Vouchers, won a lovely breed clock and have won numerous house hold items which always come in handy.

Yes this is the first occassion that Tasmania has been able to conduct four championship shows in consectutive days. The hard working club members have done a great job in the organising of these events and the whole town has got behind it and supported it

No, not humid at all. And coming up from the Spirit you are only about 45 mins from Westbury and we are lucky in Tassie (for the tourists) everything is well signed.

We certainly know how to have fun down here in Tassie, will be great to have some visitors. The grounds are somewhat dry, but are being watered but the facilities are good the showers are hot and the pressure is great. There are heaps of people camping It is a small dedicated committee that run the show and we are all looking forward to the four days of showing. I gather you are coming over on the Spirit?? There are no regular show vans in Tassie, only Marg Brett (only does the southern shows and hasn't been well) and another gentleman again only does the southern shows. I will send you a pm of a lady who has a grooming business only 2 mins max from the ground. Oh yes I am coming to Westbury it is our very local show

HMMM sounds like us. Open show aspiring group 5 judge (about to sit exams). Sable puppy GSD male very plush in coat, only to be told I am sorry madam the Belgians have already been judged.

So sorry to hear this. We are thinking of you all. RIP dear Buffet
