Will do Amstaff

Edited to add, the came through the back fence into the backyard, they were the neighbours dogs

Thanks guys I know, a dog should feel safe and secure in their own yard, it makes me cry to think what he went through having 2 dogs come through the fence it's so wrong the dogs I believe are the neighbours dogs, haven't spoken in regards to that yet though, main concern is Tyson's well being first

Thanks Amstaff, this family has had a hard time with their family pets, a few years back prior to Getting Tyson they fought a long and hard battle to save their other boxer Arnie, who had tumors on the brain and organ failure, in the end they did the kindest thing and gave him his wings Tyson is her parents baby, a very spoilt boy who is the absolute centre of their day...I know they will go to any length and any expense to help their boy recover

Just spoke with my brother, my sister in laws dog was savagely attacked today by 2 dogs, apparently the dogs got through the fence into the yard and attacked him. He is a beautiful fun loving boxer named Tyson It was so bad they didn't think he was going to make it to the vet, he is in a very bad way and will most likely loose his front leg I am so upset for her and her family, not a nice thing to happen at all

No because I would accept there was a National on regardless of I could attend or not. If I wanted to yes I would enter for a bit of fun and a nice day out for the dogs :D A class win is a win with or without points :p

Well done Aziah :D she is lovely and grown up so fast :p best of luck for those last few points for the boy ;)

No one told you you can't show, just that you can't get points :p show all you like ;) after all like you said it's about having fun isn't it :D

I voted No Cc Australia Wide, as stated it's a National show, it's one weekend a year, if you don't want to go that's fine but I hardly think missing one weekend of an all breeds show is the end of the world :D

I really think this is a bit over the top, if you don't want to go to a National that's fair enough, missing an all breeds show or challenge points for one weekend a year isn't a big deal, maybe an opportunity to do something different

I was also lucky enough to have known this very beautiful boy such a gentle boy and very affectionate!!! RIP Asher, we all miss you :p ;) to you Nic, he was definatley a one of a kind boy!!!!

I agree Aziah, one dog may win one weekend, but not perform the next, it's the reason why we have judges right

Black Bronson is this your opinion or just an excuse of why your dog/s don't conform to the current breed standard anatomically

Black Bronson - Check your Globe, we are not in Germany, in no show is it a pre-requisite for a dog to have a working title to be shown. Just because a dog has a working title does not make it a better dog. and as Aziah stated everyone has differing opinions and personal preferences A dog may have a working title but does not anatomically meet the breed standard.

Sway - Glad to hear you enjoyed the experience, it was a very well run event and I would hope I was safe in saying that everyone had a good time

Oh for goodness sake, I do believe this thread was started to invite people down to a great show, not to again bring up the discussions of show vs working Thanks Prada, yes my beautiful girl won her intermediate class of 45 bitches and then went on to get Reserve Challenge, a great achievement :D I for one enjoyed the weekend (apart from the weather - but hey it's Melbourne) lovely dogs, great people and great judges

A bit extreme given it's one weekend a year you can't get points at an all breeds show.

I wouldnt leave any dog tied up unattended for the reasons you listed maybe try crating etc :D

Can't you get a dog pen ?? What's the purpose of tying her up?

Yes thanks Poocow and Megz for the results , much appreciated ;)

Congrats to all winners !!!! And to all those that go to the BIS line up which is a Stella effort!!!! ;)

Come on Border Collie !!!!!!

What a lovely Akita ;) beautiful head

He is. They often set up next to us and I could just pinch him and bring him home lots of very lovely dogs up in NSW Suspense is a killer!!! ;)

Pm - easy to see why he does well, as much as I know about shelties, I think he looks divine ;)
