Entries for the Australia Day International Dog Club double shows at the end of January (Victoria) close with the mail delivery on Friday, 9th January. My mail is delivered by contractor very early (usually before 9 am) so no entries will be accepted after that... Gael Wilcock, Show Secretary

Yarra Glen Kennel Club Inc wishes to advise that Mr C Sykes is unable to fulfil his judging appointment at our double shows in March (schedule printed in the January edition of Dogs Victoria magazine). We are pleased to advise that Mrs S Rickard has kindly agreed to accept the appointment. Corrected schedule attached... updated 2015 Ch Show Schedule.pdf

For any Victorian exhibitors attending Yarra Valley Ch Show this Saturday, 20th December - if you would like to hand me your entries for the ADI double shows, I will be at the Group 5 ring... Gael Wilcock Show Secretary ADIDC Inc

For information of anyone entering the Australia Day International Shows in Victoria at the end of January. The schedule printed in the Dogs Victoria November magazine has an error in the judge's listing. Group 2 will now be judged by Mrs A Ulltviet-Moe (Sweden) and Group 4 will now be judged by Mr T Lim (Singapore). The alteration is to the MONDAY show only.. Please feel free to share wherever relevant! ADI 2015 Schedule.docx

Further information about this show: JUDGING WILL BE OUTDOORS ON THE FRONT GRASSED AREAS! Cheers Gael

For information for Victorian Exhibitors entered at Belgrave and Dist Ch Show - Saturday, 13th September. We regret to advise that Mr Robert Lawson (contracted judge for Group 6 - Utility) has advised the club that he is unable to fulfil his judging appointment (he requires further surgery to a knee, and will not be able to stand for long periods of time). We advise that Mr Ross Ward has kindly agreed to step in, and judge Group 6. Please cross post wherever appropriate! Gael Wilcock, Show Secretary.

For the information of those who attended the Yarra Glen double shows yesterday (Sunday, 2nd March) at KCC Park. Have you lost a digital camera??? If so, please contact me. It was handed in to the office during the day. Some leads were also handed in.. Gael Wilcock, Show Secretary, Yarra Glen KC Inc

2014 Melbourne Royal Judges: Stefan Sinko (Slovenia), Luis Catalan (Portugal), Olga Sinko Kupriyanova (Slovenia), Elina Haapaniemi (Finland), Hans - Joachim Dux (Germany) and Augusto Benedicto (Dinky) Santos III (Philipines). Welcome to Melbourne Royal 2014, the largest conformation entry dog show in the Southern Hemisphere! This year promises to be another outstanding event. On Sweepstakes Day, with our International Judge, we also introduce two Veteran Sweepstakes, a Neuter Sweepstakes, and with the reintroduction of the VCA Puppy of the Year, we have changed our class to a Puppy Sweepstakes open to all. This year we offer one complimentary admission ticket to the 2014 Royal Melbourne Show per exhibit (for each day exhibit participates at the Royal Melbourne Championship Dog Show). See you all there!

Judging for the All Breeds Shows this coming weekend is scheduled to be on the front lawn judging rings.

I think you already have your answer on another forum - but in Victoria, no Challenges awarded in the state on the day of a breed specialty show, and in the case of a National Show - no CC's within 1000 km

Hi All, At the Australia Day International Show held at Bulla yesterday (27th January) a mobile phone was handed in to the office. I still have it, and if the owner would like to call me - the phone number is on the show schedule. Please cross post/share this information.. Gael Wilcock Show Secretary

For the information of exhibitors entered at the Australia Day International Dog Club shows (Victoria) and Cranbourne Dog Club show... Dr E Kuplyauskas (Russia) is unable to travel to Australia, and the groups involved (ADI Saturday - Group 3, Monday - Group 2), Cranbourne (Sunday - Group 6) will now be judged by Ms Rosemary Hubrich (NZ). We express our thanks to Ms Hubrich for accepting the appointment at such a late date, and trust exhibitors will be understanding of the changes.

We live a half an hour away from KCC Park, and there has been a lot of rain. I would hazard a guess that the show will be inside, but if you want to be sure, ring Dogs Victoria and ask!

Just for information! I suspect everyone knows, but Juan Carlos Vasconsellos is not judging due to illness, and has been replaced by Ms Teresa Gallo (Argentina). This is not new information, just posted as the judging timetable printed in this thread shows the original judge. This change has been well publicised, and I suspect all exhibitors are aware of the change. Looking forward to a great Melbourne Royal - see you there!!!!

Just to further muddy the waters (LOL) - if the Afghan puppy which beat the Beagle puppy was not RUBOB to the BOB Afghan winner, then by definition, some of the Afghans had also automatically beaten the Beagle puppy. I find it amazing that the Smooth Chihuahua was placed in the Group, but was then beaten by the Long Coat for Best Chihuahua!!!! Where were the Stewards when this happened??? Re this: Interesting question about the reverse - for a normal show, if you dont win group, can you go in your age (still a beaten dog) At a "normal show", all the age classes (other than the BIG winning dog's class) are already beaten dogs.

Forecast for tomorrow from the BOM website: Saturday 14 September Summary Min 9 Max 19 Shower or two. Melbourne area Partly cloudy. Isolated showers. Light winds.

For Victorian Dog Exhibitors entered at Belgrave Ch Show on Saturday, 14th September - this is to confirm that all judging will be OUTSIDE at KCC Park! Please feel free to share Gael Wilcock, Show Secretary

If the reasonable weather continues throughout the week - then the Belgrave and Dist Kennel Club Show will be conducted OUTSIDE at KCC Park! All Groups outside... Should the weather change, then a decision may be made to move back indoors, and this will be advised through this Forum, on Facebook, and on OzShow. Gael Wilcock Show Secretary

Melbourne Royal Exhibitor Update - Change of Judge The following information will appear on the VCA Website today, and will be closely followed by an RASV email to all exhibitors. CHANGE OF JUDGE - 2013 ROYAL MELBOURNE SHOW The ‘Dog Committee’ of the Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria announces that due to medical reasons, Mr Juan Carlos Vasconsellos (Paraguay) has formally withdrawn from the Judging Panel of this year’s Royal Melbourne Championship Dog Show to be held from Saturday, September 21st to Saturday September 28th, 2013. At such short notice the Society is delighted to advise they have secured the services of Ms. Teresa Gallo (Argentina). Teresa Gallo is a most experienced ‘All Breeds’ judge and while she has judged in Europe, North and South America, this will be her first time judging in Australia. Ms Teresa Gallo will now judge the breeds as previously assigned to Juan Carlos Vasconsellos. Teresa Gallo started breeding Poodles in all the varieties, and has also bred Lhasa Apso, Pomeranian, Shih Tzu, Yorkshire Terrier. She has imported stock from England, Mexico, Spain, Chile, USA, Canada, Brazil, and other countries. Many of these dogs were Best of Group and Best in Show winners in their own country and were brought to improve each breed. We certainly welcome Teresa Gallo to the 2013 Royal Melbourne Championship Dog Show and we are sure she will enjoy this judging assignment.

Hi All Today is the closing date for entries for the Belgrave and Dist KC Championship Show - 14th September, at KCC Park. If you haven't already posted your entries - get them in the mail!!! Cheers Gael Show Secretary

Sounds like a winner to me! 25 minutes travelling now days is nothing. The Carrum Downs Motel/Caravan park is about 10 minutes - and Cranbourne about the same. Good luck if you choose to go ahead!!!!

Group 4 BIG was a Basset Hound
