Ellz this dog didnt win the breed at the garden specialities?? on sunday(not sure if the results have been posted on the yank lists) BOB was handled by a small lady who was either asian decent or similiar.When i re watch the video i wll take note of the dog but either way this dog was a stunner,he floated around the ring with ease

cee jay the aussie PBGV won the breed crossing fingers for grp

Last year at the royal the judge told the exhibitor behind me very loudly to stop running up my rear end & to do the runs again without playing games

The weekend i mention doesnt cover all the grps,infact it only covers 2. They are the ones who have there specialities at the same venue

If people stack there dogs up my guys butt i never ever move forward.If i have left the correct space infront i will not move.If the handler behind wants to play silly buggers then tough luck i aint joining in. I had an exhibitor in grp who often would be up my guys butt,when i lifted my dogs tail it covered theres BUT i would never move. If you move every time thats what they expect every time. the last time they did it was when they realized the judge couldnt see there dog,they asked me to move forward & i said no,you want to get so close thats your problem not mine. The dog in question also required the handler to bait infront . The approached me outside & i told them that it was there responsibility to leave space,they chose not to everytime & i will not move forward due to then not thinking. never did it again. My dogs are taught to stack either way so if someone is baiting there dog to close &without thought i reverse stack & thank them for standing so close that it makes my dog look good. Dont pander to them. Be direct so & the simple facts

Like other depends on the bitch.People have no idea how some bitches will protect there bubs & that is what nature expects. A mum in the pen & a mum out the pen can be 2 different personalities & i would have no issue with that at all as both breeder & purchaser. When people come out here its normally pups first & then mum. generally we have already done the meet & greet so its a simple case of viewing the pups. If people havent done a meet or greet they see one of our other dogs first so we get to know them & whether we are happy to sell a pup before there let loose on the pups plus mother. Some people that come out are your worst nightmare ,we always havea dog that is bomb proof & we watch there body language & how they interact before committing & then having them out with pups. Some people just dont think around pups & that at 8weeks there still experiencing life. You can have cases where sadly the bitch passed away during birth. There is more to selecting the right dog than dismissing it just because bitch wasnt in the pen

You have to pay. They also have some of the hound events. Its hit or miss what you get to see but its 4 days of breed shows/grp shows

No one dog as within my breeds there are many worthy winners. The pre Westminster specialities have been a ball to watch online especially all the gundog specialities & this week i will watch the re runs of those i missed

yep plenty of Bullies in WA & they get good entries at there breed show. I do believe many of the owners seem to live more on the outskirts or partial country WA. We board quite a few

they will be posted this week

The answer to all of the above is easy training, From previous posts we now you dont attend All Breeds but you will see hundreds of dogs doing exactly the above without all the bells & whistles. My GSD didnt need to be double handled to do all that stuff,he did it because it was natural & the right handling . I have watched many GSD shows where the dogs are so over hyped legs are going in all directions & not displaying any of what the reason behind a big ring is. They say the big ring is used because there a movement dog & need that size to move. A correctly put together GSD should cover the ground with ease from the first step & just flow around the ring or what ever the sport it is herding, It is funny when some of the speciality people show All Breeds & all you can see are crazy GSD going berko as they have no idea how to function without some one calling in the corner.This doesnt show a functional GSD at its best. There are many GSD folk who do show at both & the dogs are trained to do both & are a picture to watch ' I enjoy Melb cup as on the day of champ show you also have GSD specialized judging & Belgian specialized judging & its amzing how another breed can get the same if not better results but quietly. The rotti speciality shows i have attended also do so way quieter than the GSD, I think the GSD folk have taken double handling to such a level that its getting to over board status

I'd say the biggest reason why GSD specialties are held in separate areas to other breeds is because the rings are much bigger What do you mean by double handling disadvantages others? Not something I've ever thought about or experienced The ring size isnt a big issue BUT when people are running on the outside with bike honkers,cow bells,whistles,screaming & yelling then .Doing weird manuvourse in the corners & people running the outside ring faster than the dog i would say that is a big annoyance to anyone near by plus the announcing all day on either mega phone or PA placings & why.

Take the course & then decide what path.I own a salon & it isnt easy work & bad skills means no clients. Learn as much as possible about proper clipping which the course wont cover fully & decide what breeds your are planning to take more off or what types of clips will be the main. Unfortunately we have to re do many dogs that have been butchered & the owners are devasted, Bad grooming doesnt spread the word well so pick what your capable off & above all buy books & use them. My breed has suffered badly from groomers who have no clue or appreciation for what the trim off & the time it takes to grow back. Learn about asking questions as to what the client wants & be honest with them about your ability. There dogs shouldnt be your guinea pigs,there paying you for a service & you need to be upfront as to whether you can offer it on that breed or dog. Do your homework because whilst there is a need for new groomers it has one of the highest retirement rates around

Many people do it well .The bonding issue i find a poor excuse. We are a very multi dog household & no bonding issues with humans. We also have litter mates here who would prefer to hang out with my old boys of completely different breed We do sell litter mates & have had no issues in doing so BUT i do believe that in some breeds it may not work well or alot of thought must go into getting the right pair because a bad match most certainly can lead to issues but this would apply no matter what & whether it was another litter similar age The people we have sold 2 too have done all the right things & factored in all the pros/cons & where happy to do the extra yards for 2 in one hit & take time off work & get them into a routine than train one & do it again latter , running boarding kennels i would have to say those with 2 have a better success rate than many with one. There is no cut & dry rule & i dont have an issue with people getting too & as for sep issues reality is this still happens if you bring a dog in a year latter .If people are happy tod o the work & appreciate the pros/cons then go for it

Yes ,just with Boofer.

Problem is whilst you walk you spread it.

Also if your vet is a good one they wont want you in the waiting room. leave dog in the car & go inside,dont take the dog in at all. Most vets will have signs stating this. Yep communal water bowls are a no go here too

You have now learnt why Std Schnauzers are one of the most intelligent breeds around. Owners generally fail this variety due to there extreme thinking skills & desire to succeed Std schnauzers are loyal to there owners & feel the need to be with them. I would consider crate training during the nights & getting pup into a pattern of where he belongs Are you doing training with him??

Yep agree with Nekhbet,dogs feed of people who are confident,rewarding & show respect. Sounds like your dog is very confused thus feeling calm with 2 people who respect the dog as a dog .

What until you sit at shows for 5 plus

Word of warning to all with Oztrails. I have seen 6 or 7 over the last couple of weekends buckle under the weight when the canopy fills up during rain. The frames just crumbled and were basically thrown away due to the damage... Anything will buckle thats why you need to ensure any huge gatherings are removed.We do when it gets bad but its very rare

I do have an article about the percentage ratio during atrial but i cant find it which is peeving me off as it has other great info on this topic

Ours has never leaked but if i lived east & showing outside alot i would buy the rain roof. I have shown in some down pours & its been fine & used with the gutter to join 2 even better

4 vacc?? What has been used
