Congrats everyone!

Pointer puppies confirmed for us by ultrasound this morning!!

I had my envelope back... numbers to be collected on the day i think

Looking promising for us... due on the 2nd December

Here are our benches from a few years ago... i love the Royal

Is this a US 18?? or an aussie 18??

Can anyone point me in the direction of the online entry page??

When i aksed some time ago about people taking photos of the dogs, It is ok to take them while in the ring as they are on "public display" Ingrid and Mark are the disginated Photographers for the weekend - and both do are great at what they do But if you are looking to take some photos for fun (and not sell them) then i dont think there is a problem?? I take photos at shows all the time of my dogs.

We'll be there! I love Autumn International, andwe have a specialist judge! Cant wait!

Thanks guys Emailed Frozen Puppies and they got back to me straight away

Howdy I need to get semen shipped from interstate to Adelaide. Do I get my vet to organise this or is there a company that will do it for me? what is the procedure? ARGH! Cheers

SIL is my husbands Sister - she tries to smooth arguments, but her hubby is one of those people with a "know it all" personality. Not just limited to dog ownership I'm afraid. Ahwell... guess what, Cody has come to our house, picked him up at 7am, I dont really have the time (I'm 32 weeks pregnant) or the space (we already have 6 Pointers :S ) but what else can you do. his back legs arent doing so well, and his weight is not flash either, but we gave him a bath, spot on and wormed him, so atleast he is comfortable. Edited to add: MY family has done a ring around this morning , and we have found someone to take Cody for the rest of his retirement

Family ties not so great right now... apparently I am a Dog Nazi who should mind her own business. Wish they didnt own anything

My siister in law and her hubby had 2 dogs... Cody -probably about 12 years old, he was a rescue and Macky a 4 year old Jack Russell X. They have had Macky all his life and Cody for about 6 years. Suddenly Macky has decided to fight with Cody... after several weeks of locking Macky in a shed (lets not go there either ) they decided that Macky has to go. Do they rehome him?? NO!!! tHEY TIED HIM TO THEIR LETTER BOX AND THEN THEY BLOODY RING ANIMAL WELFARE!!! Tell them there is a stray (of course the dogs arent registered or microchipped etc) By this time, my SIL is 38 weeks pregnant with their 2nd child and has said to her OH that after Cody dies, they are not having any more dogs until the renovate to back yard. "we love Cody, he is a great dog raah rah rah" So we go there for dinner last week and Cody is flea infested and super thin, i ask what they are feeding him, and they are feeding him only plain label dry food. I then "VERY politely" tell them that when you earn over 2000 dollars a week you can afford to buy your dog meat and decent dry food... this doesnt go down terribly well... dinner is very awkward after this... my hubby kicks me under the table and reminds me that not everyone has the same views on their dogs as we do... I sit silently and fume throughout the entire meal. After dinner we get in the car to go home... It takes me about 3 seconds (dont think we had finished reversing out of their driveway) to explode and rant all the way home... GRR GRR GRR So tonight we go to the In Laws for a BBQ and my SIL and her OH are there and GUESS WHAT!!! They have a new puppy.. a pure bred "Blue Heeler" with papers... Hubby kicks me before i say anything and pushed me outside to cook the BBQ. The puppy is a sweet enough little thing, about 6 months old, skinny, needs worming etc, and is probably a Cattle Dog X Kelpie or something similar. SIL and her OH are slightly offended when i wont pat the puppy too much after they inform me it isnt vaccinated... I have a 12 week old puppy at home.. Dinner is served and they inform me that Cody doesnt like the puppy so tomorrow they are tying him to the letter box and ringing animal welfare... We're talking a 12 year old rottie... he isnt going to be rehomed, they will put him down I am seriously so bloody angry and disgusted... My family has always had show dogs (i'm third generation) so am i being a dog Nazi?? Or am i justified in being a ranting bitch??

My approach is always say Congrats to the handler - I expect this in return if I win, If i dont get it, I bitch about it to my OH in the car on the way home At dog shows you get what you pay for. When you enter, you are paying for that judges opinion of your dog, if you dont like their opinion or are likely to get upset if they dont like your dog then dont enter. It really is that simple

argh Camping! I salute the brave campers hahahahaha I dont do camping at the best of times, and even less likely with a 2 year old!! We camped at Naracoorte ONCE adn on the first day it poured with rain and the 2nd day was 40 degrees! NEVER AGAIN ;)

We'll be there! Only taking four, 3 show dogs, one pensioner and coming abck with an extra

Howdy! If anyone is headed to Naracoorte SA on the last weekend in February for shows from Victoria AND has room for a Pointer, can you please let me know?? Happy to pitch in some $$ for petrol etc Cheers

Ummm where to begin Continued success with my boy Wesley and not pick at my husband who is handling him while I'm too pregnant to show Make sure our semen from overseas arrives safetly Enter shows on time - I'm a last minute enter-er Make it to Sunbury and Spring Fair with a Two Year old and 6 month old 2 legged variety :S

My nan's Min Pin "Can I pat your Rottweiler" - yes he was very serious.. lol Our pointers always get "gee you dalmatian doesnt have many spots?" But my favourite this year was for my mothers chinese crested... "oohh i dont think i can touch that... it probably feels like a shavved nut sack..." gotta love the royals LOL :(

what kind of surface/area do the ET usually run on? Flat surface (easy riding) or cross country (lazy person;s nightmare) hehe
