I'd be getting a back up collar. On Leerburg they recommend the dominant dog collar as a back up cause prong collars can come apart. It's only happened to me once, but I know it was closed properly at the time. Even in one of the Leerburg DVDs the collar pops off when he's demonstrating a level 7 correction!

Not entirely sure. They have a team of 11, they want one more. Four dogs showed potential on Saturday so we all get to train with the team for the next few weeks and I think we all get to take part in the mock competition on the 24th. After that they'll pick "the underdog". Apparently there's opportunities for the other three dogs to perform with the team at demos in the future if they're good. They told us to look at YouTube movies to check out the different techniques. I came across this one ... Go the SBTs!!!

They told me there was a GSP on the team. That's awesome. How did you hear about the initial try-outs? You'll have to come and say hello on the 24th. I'll be the one with the camera trying to disassociate myself from the whinging staffy x!

Yeah Are yours on the team? We'll be at training for the next few Saturdays. Will you be there? :D

We went along today and Chopper had a great time I had a horrible time having to listen to him whinging and wailing, but it was all worthwhile in the end! They decided that him and three other dogs all had potential and invited us to come and train with the team for the next few weeks. Even if he isn't picked as the twelfth dog for the World Dog Games there's still opportunities for him to perform at other events if we can get him jumping well. There were four dogs ahead of us and none of them wanted to jump in the pool. When Chopper had his go and showed no fear in jumping off the dock I thought he was going to be picked as the Underdog for sure. My smugness was shortlived though! This Kelpie was on after him and he was awesome! I took heaps of pictures, but it was so dark in there, these are the only two worth posting. Hopefully I'll be able to get better ones during the next few weeks They're not sure if Chopper classifies as a big dog or a small dog, so they need to check with the authorities in America. I reckon he's small. He's my little lap dog! Thanks for the heads-up whatevah :D

Naughty puppies!!!

I'm so sorry BB. My heart's broken for you

So, hypothetically, could someone rock up and claim it's their dog. Pay the fines and then go through the BA and TT process?

Looks like a crossbreed to me. They not saying it's dangerous, they're saying it's a restricted breed.

Photos!

Thanks for the update

What a cutie I hope something can be done. Are you interested in adopting the dog butch's dad?

Angel looked like Brett until OH took pity and decided to bath the grublet. I think he only did it so he was allowed cuddles in the bed again!

I think Ivan's due a bath [Can you feel the love?!!]

Great photos! You Adelaide folk know how to put on a dog meet! Why did you need fencing? Is that Shar Pei exceptionally small or is it a puppy?! Looks fearless!

LMAO at the last one! I'm with the others, what don't you like about them? Glad you got the problem sorted. Is your camera ok? Did you find out what the problem was?

Chopper's little, he's only 19kgs!

They're selecting one more dog for the WDG team.

You can turn your lens around to do a macro cheat. Google it!

From the email ... It was sent by the company who are running the World Dog Games. When I know more I'll update. Where's Castlereagh?

Colliewood, did you contact Hanrob? I did and I just got sent an app form regarding auditions this Saturday!

Hope he's feeling better soon

Thanks

You're lucky the storm passed through your way at a much more reasonable hour than Sydney Guess who's kicking themself now for being lazy ;)
