Aww so Cider is only 2.5 weeks older than Trixie Hard to believe really. Isn't your birthday in August RubyStar? Or am I confused with someone else?

Then he'll be in Quarantine anyway won't he? You're going to be doing a few trips to Byford hey! Oh well Cider can be the 'baby' for a bit longer. When is Cider's actual birthday?

That would be exciting! Will you have Mr Grey by then or is that further off?

Oooohhh what does RUSH stand for? Is he still on an elimination diet?

Of course!

Why was it cancelled? You guys are soft

Agility training questions: I'm thinking about strating to train Kyzer some directional commands, what commands do people use? I've seen the Greg Derrett DVD and he uses 'Back' and 'Close' but interested to hear what other people use and how you taight your dog. Also, does anyone have some exercises to help me train him to do tighter lines when going around jumps (pinwheels, serpentines etc), or is it me that needs the training? Going to do some experimenting with shoulder placement with some jump grids during the week to see if that helps too.

In Tenterfields it's not uncommon for them to reach 15 years of age, I would consider them 'senior' over 10 years. Mine is grey around the muzzle already and he is 3 I hope you get many more good days with your boy

Maybe you should call him VB

What's up with your avatar GoldenRules? Well I guess I'll bump this closer to the date anyway

One more! The hedgehog has been killed already

My brother's Kelpie / BC is obsessed with light after she was encouraged to chase a laser beam as a pup If you look like you are doing anything that could cause light, holding something shiny etc she is there waiting for it, she can hear a camera turn on from the other end of the house and is obsessed with that too because of the flash

You could put a big shelf in and fit 6 more!

Ready, all together: "AWWWWWWWWWWWW"! Mr Grey is very cute. What are they feeding him?

You might need to spend some more money to buy a bigger van to fit all of these Tollers in! Yes sometimes things definitely happen for a reason I'm a strong believer in fate! That's pretty much how I got Trixie and she is pretty special to me.

No it doesn't does it, what about 'I see Sedge, I see Sedge, I see Sedge'?

Wooohoooooooooo!!!! How exciting! *starts singing* 'I see red, I see red, I see red' ETA: That singing is referring to the redheads, not the cost of an import

Dunno about 'pro' Yes we entered out first jumping trial on 17th March! 3 months ago!

But I don't want tooooooooo! No rosette, but a hedgehog will suffice

I think that's why I got lost No videos unfortunately! ETA: Thanks Kavik, and well done on your passes too

I'm eating my lollies now, they were all I could think about all day :cheer: I was so annoyed that I forgot them I'm sure he got distracted at some point but can't remember when

We had a pretty decent day today at the ACWA trial, In the morning we got Kyzer's first JDX Qually with an okay run, thought I'd lost him for a moment but he came back. Morning Agility was not good at all More things to work on at training. Afternoon agility was a great run and he got the A frame call off I wanted, but just as he was running out to a jump someone directly in front of him outside the ring stood up and shook a picnic blanket and it spooked him and he ran around a jump. Still pretty happy, the rest was great. Then he got his second JDX pass no thanks to me, I got confused and forgot where I was meant to be and it got pretty messy with a few dodgy rear crosses complete with spinning, but we hung on (just) Really happy with it because usually he's tired and over it by the afternoon. All in all a pretty good trial and he loves his little stuffed hedgehog that he won :D

My two thought the rolled up blankets were great teddies They played tug of war with them and unrolled them for me, how thoughtful

Oh that's right, I remember, well one day Ruby will get a trophy

Millie is such a showoff Ruby says. How many trials has Ruby been in and the best she's gotten are medallions. Millie enters her first trial and walks away with a trophy And yes my dad is proud is his girl He wants to print out the photo I took of her and hang it in his study Awww that's cute Millie's biggest fan Ruby will get a rosette one day too
