When are you coming?

I know the ones you mean but can't for the life of me remember if they are still there...and I'm a local

Sent my entries off today

I'm sure the long coat entries will cover the cost of trophies and sashes just as the normal coat entries cover them now?

Not so in my experience, usually a small area where sometimes the hair doesn't return...

Email her, that's what she prefers

Could you pretty please post a pic (but just as an attachment as I can't see photobucket or flicker or anything from here) of these $8 beds from kmart?

I'll be showing Sat/Sun

Me!

If they're puppy canines don't even worry about it, they'll be gone shortly just keep an eye on her adult ones coming through. Unless she is very unusual it's not an ''open wound'', it's an indentation, the skin is closed. Not really a big deal as long as she is happy chewing on things. You would be surprised by the huge number of dogs who go their whole lives with their adult canines driving in to their upper gums, converging canines are a problem in a LOT of breeds. Agree with both of Sandra777's comments

www.walchakennelclub.com for schedule terra

Walcha Kennel Club (a new club holding it's first triple in December) are offering classes 18 & 18a

Beautiful puppy, congratulations

A vote for Estrella here I can't see the pics but I'm sure she's cute!

I'm just about switch over from Groomers to Isle Of Dog (which I've started using and LOVE)

Back to the breeder IMO

Just going back to the OP's first post regarding having received a listing from Dogs NSW with breeders...considering there was only breeder of Australian Shepherds on that listing at the time it was most likely because they'd paid for advertising.

"they' as in that particular breeder I assume rather than "they" (registered breeders in general)

No no no! Keep your bitch in season crated or securely penned whilst she is in season, do not rely on the above, don't reply on friends or family to do the right things either if they aren't dog savvy.

Correct, she needs to be on the main register...

Allow her to see them then remove them and then it's very important her routine returns to normal...no pandering or treating her differently, they bounce back very quickly when a normal routine is established. Sorry to hear of your sad situation...

A spoonful of concrete for your husband...oh dear! Just continue doing what works for you, a bit of blood never hurt anyone!

I considered suggesting a Corgi (either Cardigan or Pembroke) but only being allowed in briefly at night was a real turn off, they are real family orientated and thrive on spending time with their people so I don't think either would be suitable. Pembrokes shed quite a lot, far more than most anticipate

After all the talk regarding Blue Staffords on this site what made you go ahead and get one, was it just the colour???

This is the first year in quite a few that we are unable to attend due to our National Specialty show being held the same weekend...we head off to Brisbane tomorrow. We LOVE the Kempsey Macleay Valley shows and will be there with bells on again in 2011! Best wishes to everyone showing and have a great time!
