D & D

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ;) Huge congratulations It's an awesome feeling, huh?

s to you and your family. If there's anything we can do to help, please let us know. More ;) s

You don't say where you are :rolleyes: I bought two of these http://www.topbuy.com.au/tbcart/pc/Lightwe...79cm-p14756.htm I think they're the ones Minxy is talking about

Okay, I'll bite. I looked at the first link (will admit that I didn't study the whole thing) this bit stood out: There was no correlation between choke chain collars and back problems. No correlations were found in any of the three parts of the back (lumbar, thoracic, cervical). Second link, the same. This bit stood out: Obviously, the most dangerous chains are the long link chains. Er, snake chains aren't long link, have you ever seen one? Third link: Collars may serve some purpose when used sparingly. A no bark collar senses barking before sending the equivalent of a static shock to the dog So, snake chains are cruel, but shock collars are fine? I could google you all sorts of awful crap about shock collars, which I have no problem with BTW. The majority of show people have a pretty good idea of how to handle their dogs and what works best for them. I have two Great Danes, one shows well on a snake chain, the other I use a check chain for. Neither have had their head fall off in the ring, and neither have suffered from my choice of chain. Megz, I bought mine from 'that shop where Tanya used to work'

just picked mine up from the Post Office. Thanks Troy, it's gorgeous.

Love it. Danes always look special when having a drink...................... Sometimes you've gotta get right into it :D

My sister has a BYB 'milk chocolate' lab (apparently, that's the colour you get when you mate a chocolate lab to a 'gold' lab) How am I related to this person?

Yep, definitely on the Saturday http://royal.k9territory.com/11schedules.html

;) Charlie. One special little man, hope you have lots more birthdays on the horizon. Well done CW EW ;) I see from your sig that there will be another birthday very soon.

Dollop will loan you his jammies

Group 6 is now on Friday. Think big Pappy, you'll be there on Saturday for General Specials

A horse.....................yep, I have Great Danes Although, I did think one little girl was adorable. I had my harli Dane and the girl came up and said "I really like your dog..................she looks like a baby cow". :p

I totally agree with this. I don't get why people should have to HTFU to enjoy a hobby. I have a job where a certain level of 'toughness' is expected. Fine, they pay me well to be 'tough'. I don't need spend my out of work time defending myself or my dogs against the vindictive nasties of the show world. When those vindictive nasties are left sitting at home on weekends wondering WTF happened to their precious dog shows, I'll quite happily supply them with a mirror. Yeah, turns out I'm not tough enough

So sorry to hear about Donkey. Hoping he's found Jake at the bridge. Hugs to you and Ben. I've shed a few tears here for dogs I've never met. Donkey is the first goat ;)

I've just laughed my way through this whole thread "I did not push her................she just fell" face Happy face "I need a cuddle" face Lara Bingle face "I been eating mud" face

How small were you after? I'll see what I can dig up ;) Well not that small but bunnings only had huge ones. You know the Pen that the Whippets were in at the show??? It's for that - will show you on Saturday Thanks Pebbles ;) You may need to take pebbles up on her offer, I couldn't find anything suitable ;)

How small were you after? I'll see what I can dig up

Thanks :D Funny thing is, he doesn't walk that nicely for me

Took these photos this morning C'mon, we go this way And around here Slow down, you too fast Nooo, you meant to stop Oops, got stuck..........fell down I'm still giggling

I've had a judge go for a testicle grope on my bitch.................she's a Dane, it's pretty obvious I also had a woman insist that Dozer (my bitch) couldn't be Dozer as she'd seen her in the paper and he was a dog Both times I thought were funny.

Yay on the accommodation. Looking forward to meeting you dogs................................................yeah, and you

Oh dear, I think you may have crossed the line there Maybe a little If you think that's bad, you should see him lately. He's gone so far beyond the line, he can't even remember where it used to be

Of course they can. They can even have matching leads with flowers

I have Danes. They could look over the fence without one. I also have an odd mental picture of a Dane head over the fence and a weirdly distorted belly view through the window

And they're from the breeder's first litter! Huge congratulations to Kathy
