Quick question... What sort of footwear is considered 'legal' to wear in agility trials (on the human not the dog )? Would these be allowed? http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/products/...-KSO-Womens.htm Also, I notice a lot of handlers overseas run with no shoes on... Is that allowed here? I'm talking ANKC agility if that makes a difference

Congrats! Enjoy your new camera!! Snook, I've had my 1000D since October and didn't realise you could use live-view! :p Thanks for that

Thank you both ^ That makes it much clearer now :p

:p I'm really confused and having trouble finding information! Ok, first of all - what is the sporting register? what is the point of it? Can a breeder not registered with the ANKC register puppies on it? Or do they have to be part of a separate organization? Can non-recognized breeds (eg. Coolie) be registered on the sporting register? When a puppy is registered, can it have the breeder prefix before the name, or is it like the associate register when a dog is registered as simply "Jess". ? As on the associate register, is the dogs breed and pedigree not shown? Why can't these dogs be put on the Limited Register? Do rules vary from state to state? So many questions, many stupid ones too.

When/Where are they ?

How gorgeous!!

My BC is quite high drive and GO GO GO all day, but when night comes, she'd like nothing better than to cuddle up on the couch

I imagine them looking a bit like the Hungarian Mudi

Stupid Stupid Stupid! : Those poor puppies... expect to see them in a shelter in about 6 -12 months... I passed the PP in Rundle Mall the other day... there was a poster in the window saying something about how they don't support puppy farms and inbreeding and that all their puppies are from responsible breeders. Oh yeah, because there are so many responsible 'Bull Arab/Kelpie' (and whatever random mixes they had that day) breeders! My mum then had to put up with me rant for a while after that

What a frustrating call!! That makes me so angry that there are so many of these fools in the world...

When will I learn to keep up in this thread! Probably never... Oh well, I'll just post weeks 12 and 13, and attempt to keep up! 12/52 13/52 Don't want to comment on everyone's photos, in case I miss someone. But they are all looking wonderful

I've only really just started to train two dogs. When training Jess, Bailey is doesn't care at all, so he just does his own thing. But if I'm training Bailey, Jess sometimes has to be locked in the pool area, where she proceeds to scream. But if I'm only doing say jumps with Bailey and food rewarding she doesn't care, put weaves and tug rewards into the picture and she gets insanely jealous!

My thoughts exactly

Is there such a thing as a non-cute puppy? I think not! I must say apart from the obvious (Border Collies, of course ) - Borzoi puppies are quite adorable! Oh, and can't forget those Springers!

How exciting, huski! field ESS sound like they fit you perfectly (and they are insanely adoable )!

I have the Canon 1000D and it's very user friendly ^

:D Awwwwww! Don't think I could have left without sneaking one into my bag

Never thought to add my flickr link here My Flickr!

love the second one Sheena!

The actual word 'labradoodle' annoys me. Any designer dog 'breed' name, actually, I cringe when I hear it. I often have the "Oh my friend got a Puggle!" "*don't scream, don't scream, don't scream* Oh, you mean a Pug/Beagle mix?" conversation. I think the 'labradoodle' just encourages breeding for money. If anyone can through any two breeds together, give it a silly name and sell the offspring for stupid prices - any average non-ethical person will! Not to mention pet shops selling puppies! Ughhh! Some people probably put more thinking into buying shoes then a DD puppy... sad sad sad. Why should the 'labradoodle' become ANKC recognized when other breeds like the Koolie aren't?

I haven't heard of someone that lactually likes the new photo viewer yet!

I know it's only day 2, but I think we need some more photos

There is no such thing as too many Barkly photos (late) Congrats on his ADX!

x2 for Photoscape. It's quick and easy!

Beautiful! It also looks like this
