I used sheets and towels and vet bedding when they were mobile in the puppy pen :)

We will be going, quite looking forward to it :)

Thank you so much Harley I miss my girl so very much, bug hole left here

Yep that's the exact part I thought was untidy and needed trimming :-) Agreed I would only scissor the coat under the pad.

The dog sounds to me very bonded, cant they use this to their advantage, a simple teaching of "stay" will not only be spending time and bonding with her, but also a useful tool if they dont wish for her to follow them every time they get up... Seems to me the dog is the only one putting in any effort and is being very clear in its signals to the new owner

Just flick them an email for an update, they are very friendly at Dogs Victoria :)

Only took mine two weeks in Victoria :) I emailed the form to them and they emailed me the outcome :)

I suppose it's going to be more a trim as needed type thing, my main things as per others is neat feet :)

I have profiles for the two girls, no stacked shots as yet... Avahlee Girls Keep Secrets Avahlee Secrets and Lies Hoping to have some fun with them this year :) first shows are ovens valley in March/April

Thanks for the tips, yes was pretty much thinking the only trimming for neatening purposes would be the ears, back of the legs, hocks, feet and maybe the tail :) the rest will just be stock standard shepherd grooming :)

Thanks so much for the reply, pups are used to being groomed and nails trimmed as I have always done it with the short coats....this longcoat thing is all new to me, especially trimming! :laugh:

I had noticed last night one of the pups now 4 months does have what I think untidy feet :laugh: Clyde - As per Aloshas comments LC's (with undercoat) are now an accepted breed variety. They will compete in their own breed classes. This has been in most dogs magazines now at least twice :)

Hi Show people I have a couple of longcoats that will be shown this year and wanting some tips on grooming and the sort of equipment I will need. We dont really need to so much with the shortcoats :) Also after some tips on grooming the feet? Would imagine the grooming would be similar to any other longcoated breed, but I have never shown a coat before , so any help is appreciated :)

I saw a photo of her, she looks lovely, I am partial to the Goldens :) look forward to seeing your lovely girl and wish you all the best :)

Is that "can you keep a secret"

The longcoats do not shed nearly as much as the shortcoats noticably

Lots of little white fluffies and little dogs have had a crack at mine

poor Police dog!!!!! Hope he recovers quickly

Lots of puggies xxx Really looking forward to it, looking forward to seeing lots of very lovely dogs :)
