The agility has just started on live stream from crufts

Care to elaborate ??? So all us dog show folk on here are also the same are we ???

We use Risely street vet who has now moved to there new place in Myaree, Ian is an excellent vet used by many of the dog show folk. Another vet used alot is Deepwood in Gosnells. We still keep in contact with applecross but the vets keep changing alot so its hard to keep a "feel" when you have no idea about the vets on. Ian use to work for Applecross . Another good vet is Midland Vet with Ross Staaden . We are happy to travel & drive past 5 vets within 10/15 mins

The cav is 15 months old & needed 3 points,she is away for 5 weeks so was happy just to title him but BIS was a massive bonus for Jenny. Yes Jenny got married the day before,drove back to Perth yesterday & hit holiday traffic so was late picking them up then rushed down to the show . I had a good weekend,1 group. 1 runner up in grp,1 junior in grp ,2 inter in grp My young irish also made the shortlist on saturday for group which i was very happy with as the judge has breed/shown Irish Setters

Never have & never will.references are only as good as the people giving them. Some vets aren't worth there Diploma & other people's ideas of a good owner well :D Some training clubs also have no clue . If a breeder can't weed out there potential owners through asking the right questions then god help them. As for following up references vets won't discuss clients due to the privacy act & if vets are answering questions from strangers then i would be rightly peeved

Maybe they were serving free booze up there last night He had a bad case of food poisoning & was very sick

Take him to a dog show ,if there isn' t a rush it can be a fund day out to see what breeds are out there

In 25 plus years of being around minis we have never had it & we groom one dogs that has break outs. We groom on average 5/6 minis a week. The one dog that does have break outs isn't exactly feed a good diet,they never wash it so its skin is always dirty .

WA has very few open shows so if you want experience enter both,you don't have to attend both if you don't want too

We board a Bcollie that suffers from it

Hi all just posting this on behalf of the Gundog club of WA The Club runs 2 group shows plus field/retrieving for gundogs plus an Obedience trial for All Breeds The Gundog Club will be running a mega raffle for all exhibitors at the Western Classic,(show & dog Sports) tickets will be sold all 4 nights with a prize drawn each night We are really hoping this raffle is a success & one of the new fundraising ventures the new committee is taking on this year. You will find committee & volunteers selling tickets on the main veranda plus members will be venturing down to the obedience /dog sports to sell tickets.

I no longer go buy the travel light theory,i simply do the i must have & the just in case items. To often i have tried the travel light & regretted leaving something home because i thought it wasn't a really needed item but having said that i take more having coated breeds anyway

Techniques do work but you have to be patient,seriously it is doing what pups do & i often can't figure why people get so feed up with little puppies for being normal . Reverse the scenario as if it was you at work & someone was getting feed up with you & how you would feel I would also avoid telling him off & placing in the crate .The crate should be a place he fells comfy to get in not be a punishment den,if you do wish to use it for time out then you need to place pup in there in a calm/quiet manner not angry. Being scared is a serious over reaction & if you feel that way then you will not connect with the dog. You have no reason to be scared nor do you have any reason to be demotivated for something the pup has no idea. Your body language during this time would seriously affect how your dog interacts with you & the dog will either play up more or become less inclined to want to be around you after all who wants to be around another person that would treat you the same way for no good reason at all. Often the techniques don't work because people give up,are boring ,speak like a mouse or have no substance to the voice tone ,they are boring so why should a pup want to listen . Many people say no 10 times ,the dogs name 10 times & after awhile the cue words mean bugger all because when said nothing happens they just part of the normal vocabulary used every day & often around the dog. What have you started to teach him?? Generally you will see the signs of getting to excited so be prepared to stop the game before the dog losses focus. If certain toys/games get it over excited then don't encourged it until you have some control. It really is seasy but most people have an issue when it goes pear shaped & there was plenty of warning,just like toddlers

We spent an hour plus at the emergency vets last night with a 5 month old joey that was hit ,The people knocked on our door 10pm distressed (young boys) Our rangers are good here but this one was still hopping. So off we go doona in hand to catch roo,into dog crate & of to vet . It was PTS as it snapped its major leg bone but atleast it didn't suffer. We have had police come out & shot big roos with bones hanging out going crazy around the road & our ranger is able to shot them as well. We also do pouch searches . We stop within reason ,

I would never feed hills but that is my choice due to the high wheat & corn & that being a known breed issue Diet very much comes down to what people want to feed,what works well for there breed,growth issues & the dogs in question. What works for one may be awful for another. There is no perfect diet but there are plenty of diets that work well for many dogs without any issues at all Have you followed the diet sheet the breeder recommended for both dogs ??

On the news tonight they where warning dog owners who swim or the dogs swim to be on the watch for Bull sharks after 4 juvenile ones have been caught Maylands & another area where higher risk. I have never seen sharks there although it is common knowledge they have been seen & spotted but the Biull shark wouldn't be the choice of shark to meet ,nasty buggers

No dog should be walked in that heat but people do. many may take a dog out for a quick toilet break which i have no issues with but a walk beyond that is stupid,not only the heat on the feet but the obvious heat exhaustion risk. The sad reality is some people lack common sense . I remember a lady on TV whose dog was rushed to the Emergency vets saying how she couldn't understand why her little shih tzu collapsed whilst on a walk in 40 degree heat ,serioulsy how stupid can you be . Maybe contact your local radio station or paper & ask if they could remind people about the heat risk to dogs being walked in the extreme heat

I have cool champions & the chamios ones & find them both excellent. I like having the option of the lighter chamois when needed & is easy to use in the ring
