Finished around 11.15 pm. POTY Bullmastiff (senior) Junior winner Peke Was even colder by then

It could be there faulty or it could be a noise of going through the coat. If the coat is dirty,really overgrown & the blade not being quite right for the coat its going through it can make all sorts of different noises. What blade number where you using ??

Irish BIG

Southern River is still expected to hit 42,Canning Vale 40 . Other areas lower. We already have 35 here . Just hope the clouds stay over & it doesn't end up humid

It actually got hotter at the show last night as it progressed . We had the big fans going all night . Southern River is also always hotter than most areas at the best of times

The quarantine jobs very rarely go to anyone outside. They have to advertise outside but they normally employ those already in the system who now the law requirements &knowledge of the field & then they train those people to become handlers which takes months & months. That is how it always worked with the beagle brigade . I only now of one person who got a job within one of these fields without prior knowledge but they where very good trainer/handler already & could prove how much of an assest they would be before learning all the other aspects

Very lucky,not nice weather for a puppy to be lost in

I think the major mistake people make is presuming its toilet trained to early & don't follow through on reliability. People also chop & change the routine as pup gets older expecting it to just "get it". Do you plan to use a doggy door.ring a bell.bark to be let out ?? What ever method you plan start training it now,don't think at 15/16 weeks as pup is now older to introduce a whole new concept of toilet training. All our pups are trained to use the doggy door from 6 weeks & will also bark to be let out if in the pen

40°C 42°C 42°C 38°C 35°C 38°C 38°C The rest of the week it getting cooler

Most Schnauzers of all sizes wont be in coat this time of year ,unless the coat can be rolled you only get 6 months in the ring so you pick the shows wisely. The Schnauzer Champ show is in March so there will be Giants there

What colour is your staffy ,the white hairs for example shed more than the brindle or solids

I see no issue with wearing sunnies but i would say there are sunnies & then there are sunnies. I have worn them ,its rare but sometimes its simply the best option & never had a judge issue many judges wear sunnies but the ones i wear aren't a fashion statement they just blend in nicely & look like there there as a sunglass purpose .

air con in house & kennel nearly 24 /7 .given the tariff we pay for power its simply not worth thinking about & after all i would sooner be comfy

Posted on FB for those showing this weekend ****IMPORTANT NOTE**** In light of the weather forecasts for this weekend both Saturday & Sundays shows will be put back to 7:30 pm starts. Pending the finalisation of any other logistical matters. Final confirmation will be posted tomorrow night. The call has been made now to allow time to get this on the CAWA website. Please be aware that this change may result in some breeds being reallocated, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONTACT OR EMAIL contacts in Canine News to discuss this matter. Can every one to work as a team to let those that are not on this FB page of this change. Thanks in advance for everyone's co-operation. Regards Scott (FB Co-ordinator).

The judges should be going over the dog that is part of assessing a handlers ability to handle a dog each breed is unique with special features that should be shown off or varying techniques used to show the good points & bad points after all that is what assessing a good handler is .They don't need to go over like breed judging but a judge should put there hands over enough to see what control the child has & how they deal with a dog that may not be co operative or stands there perfectly but does nothing The problem is many people judge from the outside with no clue what the judges encounter in the ring & what some children can & can't do . Having judged Juniors for many years i see the major mistakes children make that the outside folk don't see & understand is a major bobo that you then need to assess against each child .

Like Dancinbcs said a bull arab can be a mixture of anything & every thing these days . At one stage we would see a consistent style of BA but now they go from medium size to massive & the varying breeds certainly make the BA vary as well. The other thing of course would depend on where it was breed & how early the whole litter is taught to hunt . The other thing to consider for the pigs is you introduced it to 2 mature dogs. This time it will be a very boisterous pup V pigs so alot will also depend how the pigs react to the pup & it play methods & how much they squeal & whether that noise will be a tad too much for puppy .

Wet tail is very common in Labs & goldies,generally its takes a few days to come good,some use pain killers to help but many just let nature take its course unless dog is very unhappy

All All Breeds have to hold atleast 1 junior handler heat in the year so they may be waiting for a show with more suitable weather,i now many of the Juniors in Vic are held before the show starts as well but i think with the extremem heat policy summer day shows area bout getting it finished

Do you like slobber up your wall,on your furniture & every where in between .

I would go with agood Bowen person & there is a great one in Victoria

Sorta funny when the ET title requires you to bike your dog holding the leash

Grooming books can vary depends on the country it was written & depends how you want to groom the dog. English Setters is a classic example of alot of varying grooming methods ,it comes down to your preferance & how much or little you want to do. Look at the DOL pages for the coated breeds & see if the grooming amounts is something that you would truly enjoy. Being on an acreage is doable BUT a good coat can be easily ruined if running through twigs & not being removed . Mine run an acreage but i put the extra hours to ensure the coat is never ruined that also includes nightly pee feather baths all year
