Pointers Rule

Look forward to seeing you and Luuka there Fran

I will finally be there with bells on. Dallies Cavs and Whippies.

Pointersrule as well.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Oh crap, she is coming back, there goes peace and quiet at shows!!!!!

Let's see if you can do as well as you did at the last shows you turned up to

I have tears streaming down my face. Thinking of you all...

We will be there on the Saturday as one of our girls is getting used in the handlers final and the same dog is going veteran sweeps on the Wednesday.

Also there on second Thursday for Pointer judging.

Okay cool! So should I bother bringing a crate? Maybe just bring a chair? She is pretty good at sitting quietly she won't run around or anything.

I'd probably just bring the chair.

A crate is a good thing for when she gets sick of people wanting to pat the fluffy doggie and needs some quiet time...

Fran, as conzruct says, there is hardly any room for gazebos and we all croud into the shed next to the canteen. There are lots of little pens in there that we all set up in, you will need to get there very early in the morning to get yourself one as there is really room for one in each pen...

Have been eyeing off the Luscious Leads for quite a while but as I show my dogs on paracord, went with Snazzy Pooch Leads and am thrilled with the results. Beautifully finished and awesome service...

I've just entered the Royal, how easy is the online entry thingo!!!!!!!!!

Have been buying our chick mince from Leonards for several years and have NEVER had an issue with freshness or supply. We have a standing order every fortnight of 30 kilos and only pay a dollar per kilo. My Pointers are doing extremely well on it.

Could have sworn I sent you a text but might have only imagined it.....

i can quite often be heard talking/syching up the dog while running around the ring. Go Casey Go Casey and boy does this work. She shows well without it but with it she has the extra Umph to beat her mum.

Then when we need to go in for Challenge with her mum in front of her Go Casey Get mum and repeated the whole way round. THis puts her at the end of the lead (controlled) not bad for 8 years old,.

(POINTERSRULE can you add this photo of Casey please).

Each dog is different and i am more subdued with the whippets and Cavs. But talking constantly works for the Dallies and pointers.

This one?????

I suppose it's too late even for Open entries?

Yeah it is too late now

I wish I was going, 5 shows in one weekend would have been fantastic show training for me But I will be in Bris picking up my new car unfortunately

I am going to the Caves Show this Saturday, may need to scrounge a couple of square cms in someone's gazebo I have the most gorgeous, soft, light crate now courtesy of conztruct and Luuka is getting all spiffied-up by Margaret in Gracemere on Thursday so I am really really really excited

Fran, I won't be there and I am not sure if Sandy and Co will be either as they are currently in Sydney for the Dally nationals. Rob (my OH) will be though.

I am hoping to come for a look. Which would be the better day Saturday or Monday? I guess it is open to the public.

Either day, but be aware it is not at the showgrounds this time, it is being held at a sporting field on Miles St

Please make sure you come and introduce yourself. I will be the short dark haired one with the three Pointees.

Auto, what breed do you have?

Sweet, flip ya for it....

We will be there.

Does anyone know how old a child has to be to handle a dog in the ring during a champion show in QLD.

10 Years old

Oh forgot about this thread. Our NZ import Pointer girl I mentioned earlier in here has now won 7 Best in groups and last weekend cracked the big one- back to back BEST EXHIBIT IN SHOW!!!!!!!!!

I have read this a couple of times now, and still laugh Erin...

Oh and take the dog with you when you exercise so it's actually in condition when its' in the ring!

Hmm... I know one of my teams could do with a decent Wing Defence. I wonder if my dogs would be any good.

If yours are anything like mine, they will pinch the ball and proceed to do mad-miles around the court, begging someone to chase them..... :D

Ahhhh, I lost 45 kilos, that sure made a difference hahaha. We walk or cycle everyday and I can run and run in the ring and barely be puffed now, whereas I used to think I would pass out if I had to do two laps...

Unless the rules have changed, she cannot show a dog in Qld until she is 10.

I am desperate for size 12 show suits if anyone sees or has something suitable!!!!!!

Good luck! In our experience with Mackay, you are flat out getting someone to let you stay there with dogs, let alone in the room with you.

Whose name is Atlas registered in? If it is your ex's name, he needs to be a member of DogsQueensland also...
