We are going to just eliminating all other possibilities.How did she recover from the operation?

My 3 old stafford starting limping a few months ago.We took her to the vet who took X-rays and didn't find anything.She was put on anti-inflams but the limp didn't improve.she then had a series of infra red treatments on her hock, which is swollen,by another vet who suspects it's a floating piece of bone or cartlige. That didn't work.Another visit to a third vet who thinks the bone chip may be about to break off as it didn't show up in the first set of X-rays.another lot of ant-inflames and bed rest!!!!!!!!, before visiting a specialist vet and an operation. our last attempt before the specialist is a visit to a chiropractor. she is a very active dog who loves to jumprun around with her mates and go on walks. has anybody experienced these symptoms with their dog?

HI....to anyone going to the shows this weekend,any Ideas on numbers of entries???????

Hi I'm new to showing and throughout winter there haven't been too many rainy shows in Sydney.Will tomorrow's show at Castle Hill showground go ahead? The rain is quite heavy!

Be thankful you actually got your numbers. I have received nothing and had to ring the show secretary to find out if I was entered... Hi....I'm driving up early Friday morning for the show and haven't received my numbers yet?

Thanks guys...will take him tomorrow.

Hi..I have a 14 month old stafford.For the last two days he has had a runny nose,sneezing and the sniffles.At times,it looks as if he is breathing through his mouth. I think it's a cold! Any advice on what is good for him is welcomed.Thanks.

Thanks guys for answering the question. Off to Luci Ellem's for training tonight.

Hi....I am new to showing and spend a lot of time reading about it.I have seen different terminology used for Dog/Bitch Challenge and Reserve Dog Challenge. I know that it is a Dog/ Bitch Challenge certificate that's awarded but what is the correct term for reserve dog/ Bitch challenge? should certificate be at the end of it?

This will be my first show down south in winter.I'm concerned about the cold and frost on grass.Normally in Sydney I wear a jacket and skirt with a flat shoe.is it wiser to wear warm practical clothes and a boot rather than a suit and shoe.Any advice is greatly appreciated.I don't want to freeze.

Hi.....I have entered but haven't received my numbers! has anyone received theirs?

Hi...what are the benefits of feeding yogurt to dogs?

Hi...ignore the previous post.I have entered my staffordshire bull terrier in both.Do I compete in the red show first then the blue?

koalas....will be nice to see,gazebo will definitely go up and hopefully a plastic floor will keep the ants under control!!!! Thanks for the tips.

Thanks guys for the info.I'm from Sydney and new to showing have heard that the grounds are very good.I'm looking forward to participating in all three shows and learning lots.

Hi I've entered all three shows but I'm not at home so I can't collect my numbers till Friday morning. If you've received your numbers,does anybody know how many staffords are entered? I have never entered a country show before.

My two staffords sleep on the bed and during winter try to crawl under the doona.It's a full bed!

I moved my Schipperke bitch straight into Aus bred when she hit 18 months. I did this as there were 3 dogs already in intermediate that were constantly getting BIG or RUBIG and therefore intermediate was being knocked out. There is also an older full brother being shown in intermediate so wanted to give them both a chance if they were entered at the same shows. Another place I show there are also 2 Schipp bitches in the same class and whilst my girl wins 95% of the time I like to give th2 others a chance too but bottom line is she's good enough and competitive enough to be in that class. Thank you for your advice.I only show one dog so it's not for spreading them around it's more a size issue.

Hi....I am very new to showing so this could be a bit confusing.I have a 13 month old Stafford who is been shown in junior class. He is at the top end of the standard in weight and height.He is state and Aussie bred so he could enter either of the three classes. Why place a dog in open, oz bred or state when he could be in junior or intermediate?

Hi...I'm very new to showing my One year old staffordshire bull terrier.I have never entered an Open Show and just wondering how it differs from a championship show? Your experienced help would be great.

Hi Can you tell me how many staffordshire bull terriers were entered?I'm new to showing and thought it would be fun.I will enter next year! thanks.

Hi I use omega 3,6,9 oil combination in my dogs food,daily,plus good quality kibble and canned sardines in oil or chicken necks.Both Staffords have beautiful,soft shiny coats.

Thank you for clearing that up.what about junior in group?
