Puppy of the year can either be fast or very slow. Dogs are judged in grps of 3 or less,the 3 judges go over each dog & then each dog moves & then that is it until scores are counted. You spend about 5 mins in the ring maybe less & then all enter together for the announcement, So basically its just like a class being judged

Yes, i have 2 here both eligible to gain there Supreme after the 1 July. No puppies to enter so miss out this year

Yes it was a great night with my boy winning the group, a great end to 2011 for him but above all a wonderful December show season 5 shows,2 BIS ,1 grp,1 ruig. The weather was so nice compared to the previous year where you got blown away & simply didn't hang around .

The fact that many pounds can't find chips any way is just as much an issue.

In WA we can only hold night shows from Jan to March with the 1 exception of Albany (4 hrs away). A well run club and EXHIBITORS who are organized can have the shows finished at a very sensible time . They can't start before 6 pm ,most clubs start at 6.30 but still have the right to delay if need be . As for travelling to country if a pm show ou would fine the city folk would do it For some people travelling can be an issue,from what i have seen here in my own state is people who DON"T read there gazette to see when the gates open & get there to early & sit in the sun Plus those who get there so early for no real valid reason except maybe front row. I have done the start early on a very hot day & compared to a night show night shows wins hands .i had a dog that was shown in the warmer part but when group was on it was lovely. Clubs here if a 2 day show do reverse order on one of the days so everyone gets a turn of being latter or early. the heat . I am lucky,i go down & set up & take all the crap one does ready & go home ,i can then arrive with minutes to spare & run in the ring,i have coated breeds but i do the work before i leave & just head down & show. I do think some people could adapt more for the summer months,front row seats surely isn't more important if it means driving in the heat Should say there is a club here that does the friday/sat option the problem is people work & city travel can be a pain so that doesnt mean any easier

Yes,you are members of a state body .

also watch for increased weight loss,Roo is good but is very lean & many dogs can not survive on it & loss to much weight

What breed is the dog She can stay in denial but the novelty will soon where off & when something bad happens they only have themselves to blame . Plus the obvious a well mannered dog is one that you enjoy being around a bad mannered dog gets left out through no fault off its own

Never done that with any of our pups & there has never been an issue. Our singletons where all well adjusted pups with no issues at all ,they where treated like any other litter . Yes more time was spent playing but that was it

Yep Hydrogen peroxide used here as well .

When i was a child friends had the most wonderful Pyree show & pet. They took it to work every day & was everyone.s best friend . Great breed

Perth is very happy to share there heat with the rest of Australia & so happy all our shows are night shows

Wit our pups they have access outside at all times we find withing a week of settling to life changes they will happily spend hrs outside without needing us on there terms . We encourage our puppy owners to follow the same thing ignore pup to teach it venture of on its own but not making it cut/dry with the door shut . I guess it depends what the routine will be latter on house.outside or both . We find allowing them to think there brave & successful works so much better than our way or no way & never had an issue in 25 years

I don't buy them,whilst i don't want show dogs i can't stand those where the dogs aren't groomed & quiet frankly not even cute for the breed . I have never done it but it would easier to simply do your own either through kmart or Vista print,take your own photo's or swap between friends & you havea great calendar for the year cheap as

grp 3 BIG English Setter RUIG Gordon Setter

From what i have seen at shows & from people who have the breeds . Welshies are more softer & gentlier Brittanies more active & wanting to work I love the Welshies

What exactly is your business?? .

There are some wonderful words that ghave french meaning for moon ,google away & you could have the best of both worlds

Small dog means unstable kids falling on them ,the dog won't be an issue it will be ensuring pup is safe from kids & no matter what you say NO child is safe around pups. Minis are very touchy feely dogs that want to be on you/next to as much as possible & yes when older will still be capable of knocking young toddlers over . Small should never ever mean less work & you are fooling yourself if you believe that .Small dogs require more work around young toddlers because there actions can be more daunting to a pup that will be no bigger than a Chihuahua when you bring it home . Our Minis are certainly jumpers because they love to touch,there an agile breed & enjoy leaping into the arms of there owners & anything else that is air borne . But as already said your training makes or breaks the puppy & unless your prepared to put the time in don't consider getting another pup to just rehome it isn't fair on the pup . Minis SHOULD not be fiesty they are very much people dogs & should be very social & laid back BUT with young children it comes down to the adults & there effort especially as the breed has eye brows . Grooming is a must & a mini not groomed with over grown eye brows can be an issue as they can't see. As a breeder i wouldn't sell an older dog unless bomb proof with children that age We have big & small dogs here & all are the same work they just need more work in different areas,no pup is easier

Poodles can be shown corded in Australia,there was a blue Standard who was. As for grass seeds & burrs i never get them in my coated breeds as i don't allow them to run through that kind of thing & our acre is maintained again not to have burrs/grass seeds The last 2 weeks we have groomed dogs with so many burrs where owners take them to the parks but don't bother to remove them ,bloody painful even for us groomers when picking the dogs up & getting them stuck in our skin . Plenty of places to walk dogs that are burr/grass seed free or you simply dedicate your time to brush out what you allow to enter your dogs coat
