Yay great news MG Ptolomy goregous puppers awww I did my first bike ride to start ET training with my girl today concentrating on mummy dog for the June trial as she is getting on in age :) Think i did about 6-8 k gonna measure distance tomorrow. Dog did great would think she has always been ran beside a bike but me my poor butt feels so bruised lol. I better work on my fitness not the dogs lol

It is hard i have three under 6 and this is a marvelous idea for them it worked very well to. I think they had a colouring in comp or soemthign as well.

The WA Western Classic did that this year, asked for toys donations,c olouring books etc. The set up an activity area on the grass above the rings infront of the office adn it was a huge success, they asked that adults rotated to ensure children were safe etc

I use a crate for sheer convenience i often attend shows on my own and i take multiple dogs. If I need the ladies room at least i know they are safe, can't run off or get injured :) but they do regularly come out and just hang around on lead :D

Woohoo my freebie bike arrived today and if i feel alright and up to it tomorrow we will do some training i can't wait

I am sourcing a bike to start bike training now but we successfully get 2 hours walk, run and swimming without being tired now :)

wow what a blast from the past :) That's pretty cool. yes i did do childcare we had some kids from guildford grammar come over :)

Bahahaha so blonde i never even thought of that! LOL Just had a suggestion of giving the kids a cap gun each too and letting them outside to play ROFL

I agree, i've been in this suburb for over 10 years and in the last few years, there are constant glass shards in the local sports field and car park, garbage thrown on the park on Sat nights from yobs gathering and as for dog poo, dont' get me started. I constantly have to dodge it and it pisses me off - I walk 3 dogs at a time and if I can pick up why can't other dog owners? Often it's people with larger dogs who seem not to worry at all. I think it's really bad when they go to the sports oval and leave it there, maybe not as bad as the pavement though because it's just far to easy for poor people to walk in it - and their dogs - they don't all seem to avoid it. If I catch people letting their dogs do a crap and they are not going to pick it up, I say "do you want a bag for that" .... they normally sheepishly accept it and say "i forgot mine" and I'm sure they know that I know they are a liar .... Not everyone is lieing when they say they forgot their poo bags. I went walking the other day and between getting three kids organised, the pram, the babies bottle, the dogs i did forget no big deal where i walk they have poo bags on every bin and my dogs never go on walks anyway. Well of course one dog did thankfully beside a tree away from where people walk not one bin bag to be found they were all empty and i had nothing on me as i forgot to grab them and i had only brought baby bottle not the whole bag so i had to leave it, noone around to ask for one either. I went back and picked it up once my husband got home but sometimes it maybe they honestly did forget their bags mine are attached to pram but i needed to refill it :) But leaving poo on footpaths is absolutely disgusting its bad enough the crap i see on our walks left on the grass etc normally right beside a bin with poo bags attached to it,

Oooh can one come watch with their dogs?? I am doing the breed survey at our national in june with the girls and one part is a gun shot be loely if i could see how they will react to the noise before hand and work on it if i need too

Yep get it all the time, My dogs don't like big balck dogs or entire dogs, Well too bad your mutt doesn't train it and keep it on a bloody lead. Was training two pups on lead at the reserve had a car rock up and open door two dogs aggressively run towards said pups, yelled at the freaking idiotic owner to get his dogs or they were gonna cop a steel cap boot (that what i was wearing at the time) as we are trianing and don't want them around (it was an onlead area too) His response my dogs can say hi to whomever they want yeop and when one gets a boot or bitten maybe you'll see sense.

Since the ban on tail docking i have often had my female rottis mistaken for labs, good way of introducing the breed when i call them over and they go oh they aren't labs, Nope they are rottweilers. Normally hten goes off on a tangent about them being so friendly etc but not many people don't know hwat a rottweielr is.

The prefix of Diziz is rottweilers if you wish to update that info

oso i saw your post in breeders i just pmed rebeldog i got a bitch day 11/12 that can be used if its still needed

I think from what i know there should be a good turn out i know there are a few of us looking forward to doing it :) my youngest is old enough now so thought tee up someone and do both at once if i can get in of course :D have started walking and swimming them for an hour at least once a day maybe twice if i can stay awake enough lol. Gotta get me a bike to start them riding, luckily the oldest is already trained beside a bike so once less to train :D

Hi. Good luck with your future et! ET details for WA can be found on the dogswest.com website. The ET is being held on June 23 and Is hosted by the German Shepherd Club. They are also holding another in Perth on September 8 and 9. Interestingly, the German Shepherd Clubs of Vic, S.A. And W.A. Are all holding their Endurance Tests on June 23. Let's all make sure these events are well supported. You will need to train on three different surfaces. Most ETs cover paved areas, gravel and grass. M Thankyou this will work for me :) the new bikepath at our local reserve i can ride on all three surfaces yippee no need to travel far to train D:

Damn if only they were bigger :) bit tiny for the rotties :D Squash 'em in! :D Maybe if i cut their legs off LOL :p Actually the girls would probably fit they curl up really tiny LOL

Damn if only they were bigger :) bit tiny for the rotties :D

Yay glad she is fitting in well :) I have been tempted to train my dogs commands in german to be different :lol: I am sure you will have her out and about and trained in no time.

Ah i see. RS she will drop on command if i point down so will just have to do some proofing with her. Then i might join you ladies in the obedience world :S Maybe i'll get bedazzled or ptolomy to teach them lol :D

I think its a terrible practice, my first dog was a white boxer, she was neither deaf orblind nor did she suffer any skin issues. she lived 1 week shy of her 11th birthday. I understand raising and being attached only to find they are deaf would be heartbreaking, but there are people that are willing to adopt a deaf dog. Didn't realise they were unable to be registered on limited though does make it harder for registered breeders.

Thanks. i have watched an obedience trial but i can't remember what class i was watching lol i think it was CD. hmmm now do i want to teach an auto sit better go get a different collar and lead lol last thing i need is her to auto sit in the conformation ring rofl. will keep practicing her training and i better phase out my drop hand signal :D Thanks

obedience ladies??? Do i need to be a memeber of an obedience club to trial?? I want to try get chandra's CCD i need to work on her drop stay but i think we can succesfully get it. can i talk to dog throughout ie verbal commands and can i use hand signals? ie for stand if i know we are coming to a stop i tell dog steady stand? can i do that? same for walk and when stop dog sits? can i tell them to sit or do they have to just do it? what about a drop on the walk can i touch ground as that hers signal?? thanks

Aww that is such a shame i thought the tickets were just for dinner. Would of loved to of gone and watched and left when kids got ratty. would of been expensive for me with three kids. Oh well good luck to those that made it
