they are lovely cavalblaze the waiting is driving me nuts! Fern, on the other hand, is quite content.

DNA all dogs

I don't have a dvd rental card so have no idea what they ask for. Who knows what DV will do with our ID's, they haven't bothered to say.

and what guarantee is there that all the DV staff are fine upstanding citizens and won't use the information gained for their own means? What guidelines are in place to prevent this happening? Are DV even allowed to make such a request? What does the privacy act allow? For those without a drivers license or a passport what other photo ID is available and allowed? If I am forced to send one in I will be blacking out everything but my picture, my name and my address. They do not need to know my license number or when it expires. I need a yearly police check for my work, I might just send that in instead, it requires photo ID etc and IS governed by strict laws re what happens to the supplied ID.

6? 4 boys and 2 girls? hope you got another girl if there was one left

I've got chocolate teddy bear biscuits

ditto from me :D

thinking of you cavalblaze fingers crossed all goes well

yeah the wind is very chilly I'll be home with brand new babies :D

not had a lot of rain so far but the car park is always a bit iffy

I must admit to being pleased this is not in yet as I will be sending in for the papers before I microchip this coming litter.

good luck!

well you could just leave the gazebo where it is and walk to the next ring, it's not like it's miles

I went to Bunnings and bought a couple of sheets of chipboard with the white stuff on it, then cut them into 4 equal sizes and I screwed it all together with brackets. Also cut out a door area and hinged it. No floor, it sits on some cheap lino from a $2 shop and a couple of tarps.

Congratulations on 2 little girls Prydenjoy

we have had sponorship from one vet for several years and another has told us they would like to sponsor the show next year too. I checked with the club that the first vet doesn't have exclusive rights so I will be trying to get money out of both of them The classes will go ahead anyway but if anyone to make a donation towards a sash I won't knock them back :D

long range heads up here but confirmed at our show meeting today that Ovens Valley Club at Myrtleford, Vic will once again hold neuter classes 18 and 18a at next years champ shows March 31st and April 1st 2012

depends what was agreed to when the semen was purchased. I have been trying to buy FS for around 6 months now, long story, but the deal was/is I will get enough to cover any misses. So at least 2 breeding units from each dog I am getting semen from. It hasn't been discussed yet what happens to the extra units if the bitch concieves 1st time around but I would expect to pay another stud fee in that case.

all from me too, quoting saves me typing out the same thing :D

:D we're good for the time being, Fern just had a good tea, did pass a huge big glob of mucous earlier and the belly has sunk really low, I doubt she will hold on till her due date

have a good read here: showring FAQ will give you lots of info. Make sure your girl is freshly bathed and well groomed, no dead hair. Make sure her nails are clipped short. Teeth clean. You'll need a show lead as well. When and where is your first show, there may be Doler's going who can help. If you can get to a show handling class or two beforehand that would be helpful. You will need to stack (stand) your dog and follow the judge's instuctions. He might want you to go out and back or do a triangle or a circle. Tell the steward and the judge this is your first time, they will be very helpful. And remember this is a hobby to have fun with, so take a deep breath and just enjoy being out there with your dog.

can we vote by proxy or something?
