would say, go to their website maybe you can find something there....

You can try using the coat king. That will cut through the knots and take out excess hair. Be aware though if you comb too much in 1 spot you will get a bold spot. Otherwise what you can try is to cut the knot in half with the length of the hair and than comb out the loose hair. hope this helps

yes that will be fine, otherwise I should have 1 that you can borrow I might be a bit later as my daughter is not home from dancinglessons until 5.25pm (I have to leave at 5.30 and she needs to eat off course). cya there tonight

as far as I know, your dog, show lead, $3 and treats

I am hoping to come with my new puppy Fern but a lot will depend on my 2 leggged kids as my daughter dances till 5.30 and it is a 45min drive for me

I am pretty sure there are classes in Caboolture. but don't know what evening or cost....

I am more or less forced to do a clipping course (due to demand of current customers). Now I need a good set of clippers. The compagny is advising the Whall KM-SS but I have heard that they are prone to overheating? The sort of clip I will be doing is more or less a summer clip/shave and or tidy of face and feet. So the question is what brand/model is the best. It will be mainly border collies/golden retreivers/ poodle crosses that I expect to be clipping.

Hi Lisa, I used to go there but due to laziness and being pregnant I haven't been back this year. Yes they only train on a monday night, they have agility training and ring runouts on a wednesday night but your dog must be at least in class 3 before he can go... Metro is a voluntary run club but IMO pretty good, I still reccomend them to my customers on a regular basis. Metro is a big club. I think has now roughly 80-100 dogs every monday night. Other than that, have a look monday night, just leave Oscar at home and you can look and ask questions. The trailing class is from 7-7.45pm, all other classes from 8pm till 8.45pm but make sure you are there no later than 7.45 if you want to sign up so you don't miss the start of the class. Have fun there....

I am in Arana Hills, more than welcome to come here too. Whereabouts are you on the northside?

My dogs are trained mainly in Dutch and I do trail with 1 of them. As long as you let your judge know you use another language it is normally not a problem. The only question I get is: "Are they single words?". I say yes. Appearatly they had a German bloke a few years back who gave commands in sentences and they could not tell whether he was talking to the dog or giving commands.

I have quite a few customers who like to have their dog bathed weekly. They pay around $25 per week (brisbane prices) and are very happy to do so. Some of them have been doing it for over 5 years now. But each for their own. I can't look in your budget so it is up to you to decide what you want to do. You can buy a new one (at around $1500) or have somebody in for 60 washes.... :D

hydrobath is absolutely great and well worth the investment. Or why not get a professional groomer in.....

Please pass on the information to individuals you might know who are not current members who have been considering coming down and giving their dog a fun day lure coursing. All the best….we look forward to seeing you all in April! QLCA Committee

Don't worrie Kelpiesrule. you won't do as bad as I did last saturday! Mili had the "luck" that at the moment we went in the ring the wind picked up bringing the smells in of bacon being BBQ-ed (for my kids ). She was entered in CD and doing well at training but in a trail..... we had 15 points for heeling and 60 for the stays, other than that 0's

often what i find with my customers is that they treat the dogs but not the cat (as the cat always seems clean and appears not to have fleas); don't move furniture if they bomb themselfs (where the majority of eggs/larvea will be); don't seem willing to find out where investation is coming from (too much hassle...) for myself, I used to use Frontline and never had a flea. For one or other unexplained reason I changed to Advantix 3 month ago and since than my dogs have fleas. Only 1-4 but still. Now I am forced to bomb the house myself...
