D & D

Nope, it's only awarded breed points (even if it goes Neuter in Show)

Woot woot :champagne: Huge congratulations DANERANGER :cheer: Edit for spellunk

There is an import Pharoah Hound in the NT who has won several BIS. Beat me to it Pappy :D And she's recently become a Grand Champion! http://www.dogzonline.com.au/breeds/profile.asp?dog=17013

Aww....does this mean I'll have a crush on two of your dogs?

So for question 1, just because they show, they should automatically be able to breed a litter? I selected N/A for that question, because it mentioned showing only and not health testing like question 2 did. Had it said showing AND health testing (for relevant breeds), my answer would have been different. Don't rcall that being an option when I answered. If you quoted the rest of my post, you would see that I said there are some breeders who health test and show and shouldn't have any litters. I know of a breeder who health tests and shows. Her line has a GDV problem. She is getting ready to breed from a bitch who had GDV (requiring surgery) at about 12 months of age. The dam of this bitch has D grade hips and could not naturally whelp (2 litters, 2 ceasers (sp??)). She's ready to put this poor girl through the stress of whelping and raising a litter. IMO this is beyond plain wrong, it shouldn't be allowed.

You should have made the poll public, then we wouldn't have to guess who voted for 15+ litters. Just a thought I had...

Sadly there are some breeders who show and health test that shouldn't be allowed to have any litters But, I answered one to two for the first two questions and none for the third

Extremely :D Congratulations on your new addition.

Me too. I need something strong enough to hold an excited Dane ;)

I've got something similar. It's supposed to be a garden water feature bowl :D Works great

Yep, it's directly out the front. It doesn't usually fill up completely, and there's traffic guys who will direct you to empty spots. Are you on today? Today is pretty quiet..............well, as far as shows go :D

In the general car park out the front of the showgrounds

I have a Mantle...................want him? :laugh: You know I'd take him in a heartbeat :D You know that while I have a heartbeat, there's never a chance of that? :D

I have a Mantle...................want him? :laugh: I'm less partial to any particular colour than I used to be. My next Dane will be one bred for health, temperament and conformation, colour will be a long way down the list

I can't see it on my dogs. I can't even see it on Shimmy's profile ETA: Ooh, Troy's here! Where is it??? Check it now, I turned it on for you to have a look at. Thanks!! Is easy to spot when it's there :D

I can't see it on my dogs. I can't even see it on Shimmy's profile ETA: Ooh, Troy's here! Where is it???

I can't see it? I need a map

It's such a personal thing................there is no 'right time' that suits everyone. For me, it was when I missed having a dog more than I missed the dog in question.

Oh Gayle, I'm so sorry for you loss I've often admired your gorgeous boy in your sig and many posts. He'll leave the biggest hole Run free Benson Tears for another dog I never had the pleasure to meet.

Hope everyone has arrived safely in Tennant. Have a great time.............and please let us who are stuck at home know how things went :D

Of course anyone living in WA, Tasmania, the NT or remote from metro areas and specialty locations should have to haemorrhage financially to attend specialties - where they exist. Otherwise they lack "dedicaton". I find that patronising in the extreme. Well said I just found it extremely rude..............

Yep, another one here with two dogs who sleep on the bed..............they're Great Danes, sometimes I fit, too

Do you have any references to back up these statements? Er, how? How on earth would making a title harder (or impossibel in some cases) to get reduce breeding? Dodgy breeders aren't going to change just because their dogs aren't titled. Maybe some more thinking this plan through is in order? So, you only show at specialty shows because you live in the country? Seems like you don't want to travel but think that others should? I've known people from Darwin to travel to their breed specialty shows, too. They did quite well Personally, I'm not in a position to travel to a specialty show and find somewhat hypocritical of someone to judge me on that when they choose the shows they do because they 'live in the country'. I see you've chosen not to answer any of my questions, so I've quoted them in case you missed them
