Elkie1

Can't wait to hear the resuls of Viking and Milla Hope they do us proud Give them a big hug for me ETA: If you don't mind, when you get the video up on youtube, oculd I put it to my wbesite. Also. if your could get some individual herding pics of both Milla and Viking for my website also. Thanks a bunch I wouldn't say it was any harder to purchase an Elkie show potential puppy than other breeds. You might have to wait a little while but you will get one. Awsome. Well at this point time is all I have so waiting isnt an issue. Thanks again Hello Wolfsong... Will hopefully see you at Canberra. Bond is loking forward to hugs. Would ave answered your questions but haven't really had the time to thouroghly go through the forum Will talk more about the elkies then

When I'm running my dog in, I always make sure to leave room in front of the dog/bitch I'm behind, as with stacking the dog, I always try to leave as much room in front of the dog I'm behind. I get very annyoed when people of the same breed delibratly run their dogs up the ars of your dog. I see it happen in many breeds and find it rude on behalf of the exhibitor doing this. I must admit though, once (by accident - in no intention of mine) accidently stood too close to a puppy infront of me trying to ge my boys attention, but it is something I try not to do as I don't like it being done to me.

Anyone know what the weather is going to be like tomorrow? If it is going to be raining, I'm going to be staying home as I have to come through Kangaroo Valley and don't want to drive in wet conditons with those winding roads

Not everyone is going to like the point score system. There is no perfect point score system that is going to make everyone happy. Either you enter the pointscore or you don't.

Since next year is going to be a big year for us. We will be entierly focused on two planned litters and a possible new addition to our show team We will be takeing a few breaks throughout the year and will concentrate on Bond for the most part of the year to title him. Will be resting the girls throughout most of the year. I also forgot, will also concentrate on taking JB to his title, Bonds litter brother

Finally put my order in, Thank you Wolfsong

I hate spiders :rolleyes:

Elkies give the best hugs and kisses. i agree They are very gentle kisses and not sloppy at all. I don't know, Bond gives very sloppy kisses

Is that Maya or Dee Dee?

That is unusual. When we had the reccent heat wave here in Adelaide, our dogs were fine. If no one was home, they were brought inside and the air conditioner was set to come on at a certain time. If someone was home, they were left outside. They would rest in a shaded area but then go and play. They had plenty of icy water to keep them cool. When we had the really hot days, we would also pour water over them. They were happy outside. I guess that's because my dogs are mostly inside in a really cool lower level of the house. So they are not used to too much heat. My goldy doesn't cope well with heat either. And neither do I so they are never taken out on hot sunny days My puppy is adapting to the heat at the moment. He has never seen a summer so I do not know how well he will cope either. I do not do so good in extream heat at times. Hannah suffered towards the end on Sunday at the show it was around 2pm I was glad we didn't have to stay longer. After all, her immune was down as to having antibiotics for her eye. Mishka, Emma, Tora and Adele do not suffer with the heat. I beleive it is with the individual dog if they do orr if they don't. And to update, Hannah's third eyellid was cut and needed ointment and antibiotics for her eye. all is cleared up now and she is doing much better Hoping to see you there

I think it's their big brown eyes and cute wagging tail I fall to peices with my elkies. I think it is also the fact that they have their own personality and like a child, you never know what they will do next

The more experienced people here can probably answer this better but based on my elky: They pick up what needs to be done quite easily. But may not choose to do what you ask My elky was the teacher's pet in his puppy class since he got everything quickly and did everything he was asked to do. When he got home he would act cheeky. Still does. But I personally found it easier to train him than my goldy. My goldy would take longer to understand what she is required to do. Of course once she gets it, she is quite biddable. My elky likes food but is not food driven. When he is excited, not even fresh roasted chicken can budge him. What works in such situations is to use something equally exciting to train him. Elkies keep pushing the limits to see what they can get away with. Hello Deelee - They are very food driven and have a "What is in it for me" attitude. Give them a reason to learn and they will :D I had Bond show trained perfectly at 8 weeks of age. Three of my elkies do several tricks which took them 5 minutes to learn. They will learn if they find that there is a reason behind it. To answer your other question, Elkies have been known for Agility and obedience also so I guess you can train a good recall in them. - one of my dogs used to come to me when I called 'Cookie"
