Thanks

Thank you.

Can anyone help me decipher rule 12.1 of the Dogs NSW Show Regs. I have a baby puppy born 26 Jan that I'd like to start during the 3 show weekend at Gunnedah. Problem is that 26 April is the last of the three days. Am I correct in assuming that the last is the only show for which she is eligible, reading it as 3 separate shows? or as the regs suggest will she be ineligible for all shows because she is under age at midnight on the first day. Thanks in advance Phill

Two report's to the NSW Minister of Local Government from the NSW Companion Animals Task Force, one on changes to the Companion Animals Act (Report1) and another on Dangerous Dogs (Report2) have now been released for public comment.

If you feel the need to create some credibility then you probably don't have any. In my view amply demonstrated here.

It looks as though this discussion is revolving around the semantics of the word "work" A definition of the word is held to be: "exert oneself by doing mental or physical activity for a purpose or out of necessity" Regardless of my own personal "work ethic" which might determine how much exertion justifies the term "work", by the above definition, Obedience / tracking / agility / stock / security, hell even show dogs trained to perform at their peak in the ring are working when they are being trained and when doing what they have been trained to do. Regardless of how much fun it was to do it. The reverse argument could easily apply, is a stock dog working when it is acting out of instinct? Phill
