Because the person who finds the dog can ring up the owner straight away without needing to go to a vet first to get it scanned. It's more for convenience than anything. I found a BC in my front garden the other day, she had a tag and could call up her owner straight away, other wise it would of been a drive into town to the vet to be scanned. Excactly. Returned many dogs with a simple phone call. But the owners in this case did not answer the phone immediately so there still would have been a delay

How could a tag change anything? When my dogs wore tags it only gad a phone number.

I can no longer access the photo's. Guess I have been blocked.

They haven't blocked me - yet and some Steve person didn't like me very much

that could have been me but there was a couple of others as well

I'd like to know why a neutered dog would be safer?

had them last year as well but they are a special class not one you can get points in are they not?

Neuters aren't catered for at a lot of shows, I have no problem with no neuters at Royals. One day it will come in.

I've had both come into an established house, pup and older dog. One older dog did not work out, a couple more did. All pups worked out. If you want a pup get one. If your current dog is a normal well adjusted dog it shouldn't make a scrap of difference to what you get, as long as the adult rescue is also well adjusted etc.

Nothing but it didn't stop me and now neuter class has helped get my adult daughter involved.

any way, back on topic, yes the prize for a neuter in group/show win should be the same as any other class in group/show if all classes are getting prizes. The shows we have done in SA only baby puppy, puppy ( think it was only those two )and of course BIG and RUBIG got prizes. All got ribbons. All in show classes got something as I recall. In NSW so far we have got something each time, most shows exactly the same as other classes. A couple of Neuter in Shows were not. In Vic, same as other classes in group. Have not won a Neuter in Show in Vic yet but from what I have seen the prize was the same as the other classes in show.

Plenty of titles to work towards on the other end of their names. Or change the rules and allow juniors to show any dog entered OR a neutered CH. Bit hard for my daughter to put a title on the end of the dogs names when they live 4 hours apart And I don't get what you are on about either re junior handlers :confused:

My neuter, who is not easy to show, has taught my adult daughter a lot. My neuter is the first dog they have ever exhibited.

it's the weirdest thread ever.

:rofl: :rofl: perché le cose non cambieranno c'mom you two, don't go all tralee on us who don't speak the lingo :laugh:

find a butcher who minces chicken frames, don't buy pet grade mince. I never had any trouble feeding chicken necks to any of my dogs at any age, cept for the one that always threw them back up a few hours later so no necks for him. My pups have necks from about 4 weeks on.

They want to change the standard on the basis of one pup?????

:cheer: :cheer:

depends what state you are in. Not all states offer prizes for all classes.

well it sort of depends on what the conversation went like between the two, there's quite a few different ways to interpret that sentence.

you really need to talk to the breeder of your pup before you do anything!

I love yellow collars and leads, my dogs aren't nervous.

at 4 months of age you would need to find a vet who can do pennhip xrays. Don't panic. You also need to be aware some vets misdiagnose hips and recommend expensive operations when there is no need. Ring you breeder.

short coated dogs, lots of pain killers and a very helpful daughter! I have just started showing again (going in the ring) after a 6 month lay off. I also have a stuffed shoulder which combined with my back can make stacking my dog a bit difficult as I don't have a lot of stretch. I stack the front then have to step to nearly behind the dog to do the rear. In a lineup that can be hard if there is not much room behind my dog. I also don't have the hand strength to hold my dogs head straight so he does swivel it around a bit, thankfully he rarely moves once stacked. Just the head :D I don't play for sheep stations so accept my limitations and do my best. I also swap around the chairs I sit in and make sure I am warmed up. Also take your time to set up and pack up. Think about how you are going to hammer those pegs in. I get down on my knees and use 2 hands. No more bending over and crouching down is also out for me.
