It is common knowledge, page 2 (In the schedule part of the magazine) of the January Gazette!! I'm surprised that some don't read the gazette, as talking to a few at the last weekend show, some didn't even know the venue has changed nor even read about it in last months gazette....

I know both bob and RUBOB were James Camac's for Silky Min Pins DCC and BOB Prior's Aust Ch Batpin Antz Pants BCC and RUBOB Prior's Aust Ch Supacharm The Exorcist Reserve Dog was Little's Aust Ch Khanrae Man After Midnight Reserve Bitch was White's Aust Ch Supacharm Over The Reinbow handled by me Baby in Breed was Lisa Prior's Puppy in Breed was Jamie Pendle's Breeder Team and Breeder Team for Gloria Geringer's group was Supacharm Min Pins Both names for Baby and Puppy are not off my head. Min Pins was done around 3:30, and had to go straight through, so concluded at 4, so probably explains why the results are not up yet

I agree with Dellcara on those points above! I must add too, I believe the club need to make it clear in the schedule that if the catalogue is going to cover two shows, to make this clear to save the headache for the exhibitors and the person handing it out of having to organise refund for the second catalogue that was ordered without realising it was for 2 shows. That's the only thing I wanted to also add!

Please tell the committee I really enjoy the show as it was my first time there and will be back again!! I'm happy for 4 shows over 3 days! Also love the 11am start on Friday as it gives many of us who has to travel the distance a chance to get there!!

Are they doing 4 shows over 3 days or 4 days do you know please?

There has been really no rain at Maffra. Just a small spray full once or twice, but the day was just overcast! The ground is dry and the sun is out this morning!

Intermediate was Affen and Aust Bred was the Cav

Food reward! So easy to get them to do anything when you have food on you and rewarding for good behaviour! I had someone tell me last week I give out too much food. But dogs respond to good behaviour and reward. I show Min Pins, Cresteds and Lowchens, but also have handled Chihuahuas and Poms recently and after discovering food, how willing some dogs to do anything! When you practice the freestack with your dog, when you see your dog do what you want it to do (ie stand with 4 feets in position), reward it straight away with a praise! Keep consistent, then you'll get a freestack easily!! Early stage training will get you best results in long term!

Just recently traded my Holden Cruze for a Holden Sportswagon! Such a dream and cheap for me to run, and heaps of space for a small wagon! Just all I need, especially when we do our country shows! When you put the seat down in the back, you get an extra 30cm of space along the back, which is great and can easily fit 3 crates in the back on the back seat! Edited: Just realised you have Toy Breeds, we have toy breeds as well.

From what I've read, that was Reg, Mandy and another person picking up Mr Tea after they found him, they have him in their possession. So all ok, just the 4 to be found.

Mr Tea was found yesterday and Waggit was found recently! They're still looking for Munro, Caddy, Cyan and Whoopi. Munro is the older male and the other 3 are 5 1/2 month old pups (Caddy is a male and Cyan and Whoopi are bitches)

Always ask the steward if you are not sure! If I did not see or unsure of what the judges decision was, I usually ask the steward after the placement who got say the class or challenge. One one show last year, I thought the judge based on her signal refused the challenge. After I left the ring and went back with the next breed, I questioned whether the dog I exhibited was refused the challenge, only to find it was a signal that she had no problem with awarding the challenge! I was relieved to hear it was the opposite, and that day, this dog was awarded the Class in Group! :laugh: I agree with showdogs, Victorian has great steward and Group One is usually rotated by a couple, so it's usually a familiar person stewarding which helps a lot!

It was funny, I got there at about 7:45, almost 8. The parking attendant all packed up and finished when we arrived, I just parked at the tennis court cark park! No one came near my car for passes, so I just drove past and got a parking there! .

Is there any breed numbers for the Sapphire Coast shows please? (Wed, Fri, Sat and Sun)

Baby was the griffon I think inter or junior was the pap Puppy was the cav Junior was Min Pin (Lisa Prior's) Intermediate was the Pap (Robyn Ackland) Aust Bred was the Pug (Sue Langford) Open was the BIG
