Any thoughts on where we can meet up?

Mind if I ask which vet you use? PM me if you like

This way she'll be good to go for next meet :p You can have Tess, she wont like being left home alone, but it will be too much for me to handle two dogs in that sort of environment...Tess is a really easy dog lol Haha ok its settled I am Tessa's adoptive mum for the day ;) Yay! Tess will be glad she gets to come! thanks!

If it is then we can all be lame together! I cant wait!!!

I got one custom made from....Callicoma Kelpies Very good product, just be very specific about your specifications and use for the product (how she uses a martingale is different to how I was shown to use it for my dog...left me with a collar WAY too big)

haha k&p its mostly me talking! Let me know when you guys think of a place to have the March meet and Ill update the thread!

OMG is that seriously what I sound like? its amazing how different you sound in your head lol Had fun on Sunday, looking forward to the next one...maybe we will get 4 people to come along lol

Sorry guys, Ill definitely be there with Lexi, not sure if Ill have Tess or not it all depends if she is having a cranky day or not Thanks for posting the links guys, sorry I had been meaning to do it, life just got in the way

I just used Lab Jr for my girl, I often keep my eye out for the GR version but Ive never seen it anywhere

Im looking at getting some sort of electric fencing to keep my JRT away from the fenceline of my backyard, she has become a bit of a houdini and keeps digging under the fence (into a secured yard, but still) I rent so a dog run isnt an option At the moment she is staying inside when Im out, but I think my flatmate/landlord is a bit sick of her being in every day, she also much prefers to be outside, and I prefer her to be outside Sooo anyway, more to the point, just a few questions on these systems *What is a good brand to use? *Ive noticed that they seem to say from 5kg up, why is this? my girl is just on or just under 5kg *Are they portable? by means of can the be dug up and moved to a new location, or do you need to buy new wire to move them? *What sort of collar do they have? back in the day I tried a bark collar on her, it didnt really work but the prongs on the collar rubbed the fur off her neck, I didnt like that Its an average sized suburban backyard, all I want to do is keep her off the fenceline

Nudgee beach is closed until further notice, 3pm at kroll?

3pm havnt decided on the location I'll check out nudgee beach in the next couple of days

I did PADS with my pup, its very good most of the work is done on lead the pups only get a short 'play' at the end, but they are very aware of how to let the pups interact etc, they are at Eatons Hill so its not too far from you They are an agility club but they have obedience classes to follow on from the puppy class

oooh looks good, Ill be there with one of mine, probably Lexi

What is the cost difference between Dr B and Big Dog?

My Goldie has had some bad hotpsots this year, what I found to help prevent them (so far so good) is giving her a Pyohex (or malaseb) bath weekly, dont be stingy on the soap and leave it on for at least 10 mins before washing it off, and I mean absolutely cover the dog, do his face and everything, it will reduce the amount of bacteria on his skin, reducing the chance of a hotspot starting. Also blowdry him properly every time he gets wet, with all this rain QLD has been getting poor Lexi wasnt getting dried properly and she was covered in hotspots

Well they probably wanted to make sure your dog wasnt going to kill their children...gotta watch those pitbulls

Thanks MAO, I had a feeling the floods would have gotten to it...oh, and of course you are welcome to come along!!

Gremlins

If they live nice and close would they be able to check it out in the first week of Feb? Id be happy to pay entry if we had the place to ourselves, by that I mean, most people wouldnt pay for a place to run their dogs when there are so many free places around, so Id hope anyone else there would have well behaved dogs and owners present That place at Lawnton is fairly close to me, I can check it out

Ever heard of a Golden Labrador?...you know, the blonde ones ETA...correction, its usually golden labradore lol Oh, just like the Golden Retriever is actually two separate breeds which have been put together...you know the "Golden" labrador and the "any type of Retriever" that it's crossed with. Have these people ever read a pedigree? Nope, stupid question really - they can barely read a cereal box! Get it right, the golden retriever is just a long haired labradore...Im guessing if they ever saw a flat coat retriever then they would just think they are the long haired variety of the other two colours

I have to give up my place in Staffylover81's cabin, If someone was after a place in a cabin get in quick Im about to email the organisers to let them know I have to give mine up

Because he presumed based on her breed that she would have an issue, unfortunately he didnt tell me about this presumption until after he got them to move and had a smug "I thought there would be a problem here" this was after he had asked me about her breed (breed, not breeding) and if she has any problems on her legs or skipping, to which I answered no

Ok Ill call him, but I need help on what the right thing to say is...I dont want to come across as though Im attacking him, after all I do want a resolution out of it (ideally Id like him to pay for all her vet bills in regards to the patella issue) but I dont know how much Ill be able to get, Im certainly not expecting that, unless of course he has insurance to cover his work, but considering he works off mostly cash jobs (without receipts from what I could tell) Id doubt it. Thankfully I forgot to take cash along to the appt so I paid by direct deposit, so between my direct deposit payment and some posts on here at the time I have proof she actually went to see him Every time I bring his number up in my phone I freeze...what should I say? I mean I know what I want to say, but how should I go about it?
