murve

we had a neighbor erect a couple of signs " Pick Up After Your Dog, If Not You Will Be Reported To Council" :) these were place along their front yard & on the tree.

our training has been put on hold due to our sweet girl came into season there goes 4 weeks of training out the window we are hoping to do HVCV trial, if we are lucky our Pappy bitch maybe ready if not we are also looking at Sale trial, & not in season again,

Hi DiscoDobe in the Rule book it says " All dogs must have a slip collar or Flat collar & remain on dogs neck during the trial, collars are not to have spikes or collars which give additional head control shall be permitted". No check collars allowed, no ID tags on collar. Dress Code Adequate sensible dress with appropriate footwear eg:: I wear & most other trialers that I have noticed wear jeans, top/shirt, maybe a jumper, runners. if the ground is wet I wear my riding boots :D normally dress to the weather conditions if you are game to participate in the rain :D color of clothing dose not matter

try playing the Look At Me game, when you give him the command LAM, reward him :) Heeling-- have a special treat in your left hand right in front of his nose, hold it there while you say heel take a few steps & let him a little piece, when giving the word say it in an exciting tone of voice , try this tell you can walk a reasonable distance. Also try joining your local Obedience club :D

Hi bianca :D the local club close to Raymond Island is the Bairnsdale & District Dog Obedience Club, their grounds are at the back of Lucknow Reserve Contact : Nyree Sommerfeld Phone : 5157 1524 this is the only contact info I could find I do have 2 other contact ph no if you need them

On the Island Gotland, (part of Sweden) dogs are welcome everywhere, we were there for 5 weeks & loved it :D :D, apparently the other Scandinavian countries are the same

I wouldnt worry about the tail wagging during the stays as she stays put for the time allocated :laugh: most terriers I know do that Good luck with your trial cant wait to here how you both go :D just remember chin up walk in that ring with confidence & your sweetie will do well. if you go in being all nervous & tense the dog will read your body language & basically play up But most of all Have Fun participating :laugh:

I have put up a couple of pics in the "All things Whippet" section of Ollie with his ribbons & cushions :D & thanks guys, we have started working on Open class now, have to master the Retrieve dumbbell on flat & over hurdle, very slow process but we will get there :)

Oh Rubystar not just happy, more like ecstatic, good thing was the girl who owns the Sire to my boy was also there, she was also ecstatic, the ribbons are already up on the wall with the others that we have received :D

Who hooo just a little brag my boy Orlando( whippet ) received 1st in Novice & then was awarded Best in Trial at the Rhodesian Ridgeback Obedience trial at Kcc Park this morning :cheer: A big thank you to the Rhodesian Ridgeback club for holding a RTG Obedience Trial with their Champ show. It was great to see a Basset hound have a go at CCD, it was fun having a few whippets & a Basset hound gate crashing The Ridgebacks :laugh: :laugh: show

Thank you Jbea it was lovely to meet you too :) It is amazing what you find on a forum, I have found stuff for my daughter

sent reply back :) the trailer was use to cart Greyhounds, we have Pappy's & whippet , plenty of room

We have a 4 berth for sale, you are welcome to come & have a look, Pm me

I watched the Agility, a bit of Conformation & the flyball teams, all dam good dogs I loved it :D bloody hell the flyball dogs move dam quick no wonder the cameraman was zoomed out :laugh:

Suggestion for the guys who end up doing interstate ET why dont you car/dog trailer/ bike rack carrier pool :) It would be cheaper fuel cost wise If it comes to the crunch I might even do Canberra depends on our Bitch & her coming into season

A big Thank you SwaY for your hard work you put in for the breed dreakdown you do for the shows :) :) :)

just a thought, what about contacting the Microchiping mob eg: Canine Animal Registry & see if a cross reference can be done on the no. to see which breed of dog it belongs too :)

For anybody who needs Scent Discrimination Articles I have put a price list in the Market place forum :) with full details & contact info

Zorro is a doll :) he looks so confused in the pic I have had our Papillons mistaken for a Pomie, over grown Chi & the list goes on :laugh: Our Whippet has been called a baby Great Dane : go figure we have had the RSPCA here years ago about our Rottie Bitch being malnourished, the bitch being 11yrs at the time was actually a little over weight. The officer went away quite contented & mutted, "cant some ppl tell the diff between overwieght & malnourished dogs" :)

I think so Esky the Husky, we had a Fench Bulldog from QLD compete at the ET we took part in last year :) then she went over to compete at the Champ show at Bulla :) But double check with M, he will know more

No probs RubyStar & yes back onto the right topic :laugh: me bad
