Dog owners are dog owners,show people/dog sports or the likes doesnt equate to a better owner BUT working in the dog industry the # of fat dogs at shows is very small,i deal with obese dogs daily .

support is a must

Also where not to stick your stuff

Here is another ,one for the poodle people

Easy to judge people BUT you dont now the facts . Do you now what survival rate was given with the surgery?? Do you what condition the dog was in when at the vets?? Do you now what long term damage may be there & what the future may hold for the dog?? What did it eat that was there fault? Im sorry but people say they will beg,borrow or what ever BUT i doubt everyone would without truly understanding the dogs situation at the time. I would guarantee most people on DOL would have trouble putting money together like this,are they all bad owners?? Dogs should never be disposable BUT i can appropriate that everyone has there own limits & the fact these people took the dog to the vet doesnt exactly equate to being heartless. After owning 2 dogs that we did everything for i have now decided there is a right thing & wrong thing & the dogs best interest comes first . Also having a dog that ate something & no money spared & dying 2 days latter haemorrhaging to an awful death i would never judge anyone without the facts

Didnt work

Im sorry but i dont need to now someone to understand what was said & done is totally unacceptable. I have shown under him twice & found him very pleasant BUT you wish to play dirty than pay the price.

not many congratulations unfortunately Are you serious,how many congrates would you expect?? When people post about there wins how many times do you post congratulations?? This dog is special too you it doesnt mean everyone else has to place him any higher than normal Joe . Reading about ones success doesnt mean you have to post & i dare say most people would be thrilled with so many views reading about the dogs success

should also add that Yogis BIS at Crufts post started by SparkyTansy had 920 views

just sad everyone finds it so interesting and yet didn't give a hoot when Yogi won Pardon ,that comment is based on what ?? There was a sole thread on Yogi plus many other lists where great excitement was shown. Maybe you didnt read it??? or expected more to comment???

It didnt cover when she bent over

I actually think you have made this post more than it should have by your own comments. The judge/handler/person felt the need to have foot in mouth disease & he should pay the price .The same would apply if it was the Queen of England,Yogi is no more special than any other dog nor does it give any owner/handler more rights to treat a judge in such a fashion My opinion I applaud the judge who had the guts to speak up

All white showdogs here are belly bathed nightly

Those on FB i suggest you join the grp "dog show fashion police"

Just treat her like normal,she isnt broken. Remember dogs will learn very quickly that the new privileges this week will be wanted the following & so on.just go about things normal so the dogs feels comfy & not overwhelmed why things have suddenly changed.

The reality is its breed by breed & case by case ,Not set simple answer because one has to weigh up all the scenrios in the situation aswell Our guarantee is also based on the new owners signing there puppy paperwork to follow there side of the deal too so boths sides need to be weighed up & assessed from there.

Tough for those with 2 grps,its a long walk to the grassed areas,i did it last year multi times & very tiring after awhile

If i read agilty dog right i am gathering he is saying why do people equate dog to must play with it?? I get what agilty is saying that so many people just presume that if it has 4 legs it must play with theres . Our dog socialize BUT only when i say so,my dogs dont presume that every dog that walks past means play,They are trained not to rely on others dogs for amusement . I see people every day with there dogs & will admit that many just presume they can walk there dogs up to the fence & let there dog interact,it seems many people in my opinion dont tend to think why does there dog have to meet everyone that walks past,sees or os standing still. Its like when at the vets people dont seem to think the dogs there may be sick but instead a small group see it as a social meet & greet & i dont get that side of things . For me there is a time & place & my dogs dont dictate what happens at that moment. I remember at a shop last year with my young dog this lady just walks over & lets here dog bound up. My dog doenst have an issue but for starters that is plain rude,my dog wa slearning to settle in a highly excitable situation & i dont allow play unless i now the dogs & owners & the floor surface was unsuitable for play. I told the lady politely that my dog wasnt interacting today & the reasons listed but she looked at me like i was from mars,she had no concept of common sense dog manners. Her dog was pulling her to come over & she let the dog set the rules not her as the handler.

oooh I have that one on video!! - you're just lucky I dont have the technology to get it onto the pooter!! ;) Also on video I have me showing a dog circa 1985 in too small yellow t-shirt and too big "bubblegum" jeans - Fortunately no photos but it is quite the look But then I was a dorky 11yo and showing was a lot more relaxed in those days!! Wearing a suit would have made you look out of place Argh but i have us all on video in junior handlers

I really only pick him up to go up and down the stairs, they are tiled and too high for him to climb up and down....yes he's really THAT small!!! Dont allow strangers to pick the dog up either, The little needs time & patience to bring it to a level off tolerating or enjoying.Give it time. I agree sit on the floor or a seat & allow pup to make the first move even if that means feet up wanting cuddles just dont pick but make a fuss of the first step 7 do tjis for awhile. If you have tp pick up dont feel guilty just do so with confidience & respect

The shipping agent they use will have all the advice they need on the Babesi testing & time frame ,permits etcetc

I here all the whinging about revenue raising so lets look at it this way those fees go back into the pound. Tomorrow there are no pounds because they cost to much to man ???The dogs are running lose so who will pick them up?? Seriously people want there cake & eat it too. Also people CAN make themselves aware of local dog laws either from there website or heading down to there council office or attending there local monthly meetings & asking questions.

Also ask the dogs breeder they should be there to give any advice freely when they sell there pups

Hey Becks the mini handler of BOB did she wear a similiar poker dot thing last year with a giant???

i cant believe how many vets ignore this disease for diagnosis & piss fart about. Our breed is predisposed to it & have had one dog with it ,it was chronic & no issues as our vet was more on the ball. What where you feeding the little one??
