*Lolapalooza*

Hmmmmm I wonder if the person I was speaking to was only told what they told me because apparently it was not true and the shop was the hold up not Blackhawk... Bit annoying since I paid for 6 bags of food and it took almost a month for them to get it in for me. Any how I have it now and Hackham is about 90 mins closer to home than North East. :)

about time!!!! Thanks for the heads up Trishm I just waited almost a month for mine from North East pet Supplies, (wasnt their fault it took that long to arrive from Vic?!) *I drive past hackham on my way home every day yay.

ooooh Thanks Pers x

I have photoshop but despite buying 3 book on it, it's completely beyond my brain capacity I would like to try Lightroom, are there any free places to get it? If not where can I buy it for a reasonable price please?

Ooooh can someone please remind me again how to add a pic from Flick, I forgot

Check deal of the day, daily and you never knowwwwwwww!!! :D I just bought a huge memory card too for when I go to USA in May tp the Bernese National

I was just looking atBattery Grips in DWI, their deal of the day is a Canon BG-E7 for a 7d at only $170 at least $80 cheaper than I could find anywhere else :D Also the freight was free It says free freight at the top of their site so might be worth a look if anyone needs and Camera-ly goodness ;)

Last night I bought myself a Kelly Moore 'Libby' bag I an so in love with them I wanted a really big one for when I travel so I can take all my bits as carry on in the same bag. I wanted orange or black but neither are availabe and no other place in the US who has them would ship to Australia, so I ordered Grey (it's more vintage grey/black though so looks noice) Given that postage was 63 bucks I hope it's here soooonnnnnnnn Sexxxxxxy Kelly Moore bag!

Houses have gone up about the same..... So has chocolate :laugh:

One ad reports :rolleyes: '2 Champions in the papers' whoopee I guess they don't realise that's nothing to brag about.....

Always desexed retired show dogs too much risk of pyo in bitches and thats nasssssty. If a male has no problems I would prob leave entire, my only male was neutered at 6 for enlarged prostate.

I read a ton of reviews about this lens and so many compared it with the Tamron version which is cheaper again and in many the Tamron was preferred so I bought a Tamron and its great. Love thos pics CC's especially the tollers and the kitty!

Do most people train with food tracks or by getting the dog to love articles and want to find them (cos I can't ever seeing my dogs bother to love an article now food is a whole other story...)

I got my first package in 2 weeks, second ordered 1 day after 1st in 3 weeks (yesterday)and 3rd today in 9 DAYS from USA!!!! wooooooo

Stella's pillow is called Jersey Jersey's pillow is called Lily

Bernese do benefit from plenty of socialisation, be yes as everyone says pick and choose what you take as gospel from that book. The parents of your puppy have nice 'normal' temperaments so with consistent, varied socialisation he should be fine.

Got my first parcel today silver sides and leads Second one with harness, Socialisation CDs and bits and bobs was sent the day after so maybe tomorrow. All the toys are in the third one hurry uppppppppppppppppppp posty

I may not be any help Tiggy but I guess the trainers can give you lessons to do at home I wont be able to go every week either (stupid job) I got a lovely harness from k9 Pro this week I hope it's ok for tracking, It seems pretty good. We have been using it for learning the basics from books (looking for sausage in a straight line track) I figure we can at least get the idea of what we're supposed to be doing by easter when lessons start. I have ordered Glen Johnsons book but still waiting for it to arrive.

=double post.

I hope mine hurries up, I ordered one lot on the 22nd Nov, one on the 23rd Nov.....and one lot today

Congrats A little big of a brag from me I've just sent the Ch. paper work off for my 10 month old Ch. Apolar Gun Slinger, who would have had his title at 9 months if I had been paying attention He's had a great year with multible classes in group and in show and multible RUBIG's out of the Minor and Puppy classes under Australian and International judges. So proud of my beautiful boy. Huge Congratulations !

I am very very late to this topic but I sent a puppy to NZ from my first 'proper' litter (real first one only had one live baby with a big kink in his tail) Vevey Beowulf V Blassis (Wulfy the Bernese Mountain Dog) has out done any expectation I could ever have had for him and won 1st in Utility Rising Star for NZ and 3rd in All Breeds Rising Star, at 9 months he won runner up best in all breeds show. All 4 of the puppies shown from that litter are multiple in group and in show winners. I just sent off my girl Jersey's title today at 10 months. So proud of my babies

Ahhhh woooooo I will be doing the same then ))
