Earl as a baby & now grown up

That would have been John Cowdroy (sp?) but I don't think he does it anymore.

You may need to invest in a bristle & nylon brush. You could still use the slicker on his fringes on his legs. All my shelties have been trained to lay down whilst getting groomed which makes it much easier whilst I am line brushing through their coats.

I find my boys are more affectionate sometimes than the girls. I think sheltie temperaments have improved over the years since I started in the breed. You do need to attend a show and meet some breeders and their dogs.

Glad things have eased a bit and hopefully it conditions are better today for all those living in the area and fighting the fires.

Oh no, poor Ralph. Such a gorgeous little dog - always loved viewing the photos of Rocco & Ralph. Hugs to Serena. Might have to chase up a copy of this book.

It looks like it is similar to Pet Expo but this one is just about dogs. Looking forward to seeing what they might have there :)

Hi All, Just thought I would advise about the Dog Lovers Show that is being held in Sydney on 7th-9th November 2014 at the Hordern Pavilion and Royal Hall of Industries http://dogloversshow.com.au/sydney . Seems this is the first time it has been held in Sydney so will be interesting to see what it is like. I will be working on the Dogs NSW stand on one of the days.

Yes loved viewing the escapades of Rocco & Ralph - they sure made me laugh. Was a very sad day when Rocco passed away.

I doubt if the breeders are still with us as Mr & Mrs Mallion (sp) were rather elderly at the time they were showing the kuzasz.

It only seems like yesterday when the news came through. Am sure they are all doing well at Rainbow Bridge and still with you in spirit - especially Magnus. Hope it gets a little easier each day.

Lovely Bob - I hope that Hart continues to enjoy his days in the sun

I will be there on the Shetland Sheepdog Club stand with Earl and maybe one of the girls so come over & get a cuddle from Earl :D

As long as the dog was over 12 months and fully mature, I can't see why not. You would probably have to build up to it and make sure that dog is fit enough.

Believe me, my lounge in the family room has the holes to prove it :laugh: oh and the legs of my chairs, corner of a mat, zipper on my jacket ...... the list goes on but one look from those eyes and his grinning face and I just laugh :D
