This was my short list: Bandit King Billy the Kid Red Ryder Hopalong Cassidy Texas Ranger Jesse James Red River Lone Ranger Maverick Young Gun Cisco Kid Wild Wild West Quick Draw Lucky Shot Pull the Trigger :D It's very hard to choose !

It's in my sig :D Lucky Shot

Lincoln's litter was a cowboy theme and my shortlist was 23 names! Lucky I managed to choose one! But his Dad is Silver Bullet, his grandsire Remington Steele (a type of gun) and his half sister is Hit The Mark. :D SO I went Western and Guns theme

Ari's name is -Prefix Underline Me (I have put prefix instead of her actual prefix in case ST didn't want her full pedigree name posted I can't remember the litter theme ST told me about but remember thinking how clever Ari's name was) ETA everyone got to choose thier own names from Lincoln's litter :D

I am pretty certain I know which breed I am getting for the next one but I want at least 4 titles between the 2 boys and 3 years before I start seriously looking. :D RS I suppose you have your girls at a maintinence level now so you could if you wanted.

Toby is a wriggler -wagger when really excited, the tail goes and the body joins in. Lincoln has a steady wag most of the time. His way of expressing his hapiness though is leaping vertically as high as he can.

Yes, I have bought it a few times from Better Pets..... Osborne Park branch and they had to order it in for me. I use it as treats which makes it healthy and not expensive. Yeah I want it for treats too! I had some and it ran out but it's sooooooo convinient! If nobody actually keeps it in stock I might just order from Pookinuk again.

Is there anyplace in WA to buy Ziwipeak?

ST if this is what I think it is first of all OMG how awesome and second of all if you want a travel companion I'm in

How exciting! Pictures are a must! Anyone else doing the open show Sunday?

I can see you have a litter in the near future with your male dogs I always laugh when people ask me if I breed kelpies as well... I don't quite think Banjo is up to carrying a litter of puppies Lol yes Toby and Lincoln babies. A few people have asked me if Lincoln is toby's mum!

I am almost certain I know what mine will be Even though it's probably 10 years away! Any more news on Charlie's pups?

I like Ari's show name. Any ideas which way you will go with her litter?

:D Also in the first series he was all "oh you can do this with a leash from the dollar store" and then later its "I am using my Illusion collar which costs $$" :rolleyes: I have respect though for what he does for Pit Bulls and how he never makes stupid claims, he is what he is

I have two male boy dogs 1.5 years apart. I don't regret it but I would never space dogs that close togther again! Minimum 3 years between dogs from now on here. All your training with Elbie can come undone adding another. I would wait till Elbie was trialling before you added another. But that's just my view and plenty of other have done differently and had no issues.

I have read the 'Episode Guide' which goes through the episodes from all 3 series and has a follow up. For the majority of cases where the issues are actually quite simple (pulling on leash, barking at door ect) his rehabilition rates in the 'follow up' section were good mostly because the dogs did just need a 'leader figure' and some exercise. In the serious cases quite a lot of the time the dog had been rehomed, or the issue had not been completely resolved. One case the dog had even been PTS. However I do se his message of treating a dog like a dog, making sure he is mentally and physically stimulated is right. It is true what he says that a dog (although there are exceptions) cannot survive on love alone and need rules and structure. (And so does most owners sanity :rolleyes: ) I actually don't disagree with his use of the electric collar in the episode he used it in that I saw. It was an ACD on a farm that would grab tyres of moving machinery and had already been run over a couple of times to the point where it had lost an eye and still continued to do it. Is the electic collar a quick fix - yes, was it effective - yes was the dog's life actually at risk -yes. Would I have trained it that way -no would I have let it get that bad in the first place -no. But most of the general population aren't that thoughtful and it was better to do it then to have the dog run over, potentially fatally.

My dad says he has a new way of charging me board- $50 per parcel! Hr thinks he would get rich quick! Sigh.. one day I am going to have to leave home and have actual expenses so I am counting my blessings while I have them :D

Everyones does! :D (Including mine )

I think us eating at Chatters is very fitting.... I'll say! I want a cool coat for Trix but on the one that is her length the girth is too big for her, might get it later anyway. The girth completely comes off so i am sure if you email them they can mix and match :D

Mine did before it died a violent death 3 days ago!

How adorable is he!!!! I want one (pout). That is so something Lincoln would do, only he would rip them up a little first.

Yeah probably. We should ask them to sponsor us or fuel the fire by putting everything free shipping!

I am actually jealous she gets James At least she had her first season before she starts showing!

I'm starting to think instead of a gift it is probably a torture device. My boys love thier everlasting foam balls (but the mediums are tiny!) and they just about wet themselves over the lamb tugs! I also have one of those treat pouch tugs and think it is awesome and I have a racoon tail that took all of about 45 seconds before Toby snapped it in half!

She is so adorable! How come she is at your place?
