All Paws Paradise at Pimpama :) Also hosting Fred Helfers from the US for Nosework seminars at the beginning of October.

Little Gifts there are two places in Brisbane teaching Nosework as well as a round of seminars & workshops with Fred Helfers from the US to be held in Brisbane in October as well as the second Queensland ORT. My dog's have both been doing it for years and passed the ORT held in QLD last year :)

Just posting this here for everyone :)

I much prefer the Chillybuddy Cooling jacket to other mesh coats. Can't go past their design and the research that has gone into themo. Chillybuddy coats have a second layer as well of a light cotton mesh as well which holds the water when used wet. Love them!

I have one of these. I do not recommend. It does not stay wet for very long at all ! I personally love the chillybuddy coats, but they are from the US and the dollar is terrible. I do sell the Chillybuddy jackets here in Australia, post is in the commercial marketplace in OT After testing a variety of cool coats I couldn't fault the Chillybuddy Jackets, the fact the reflect the sun whilst evaporative cooling is occurring makes a huge difference. I also use the gel cool mats with my dogs which help in summer

I've always found them a great company to deal with the hardest decision has been picking covers, I don't do well when given multiple options :)

Henry Hottie beds are fantastic, Australian made and owned too as an added bonus. I have two of them and my dogs will choose their HH beds over all other beds/couches.

What timing for this thread to get bumped up, the last two weekends our new flyball club competed in their first and second flyball competitions. All the dogs in the team excelled themselves and the people in the club are just such fun and will step in and help wherever it's needed. We have set a club PB of 19.959 seconds and I look forwards to working as a team to beat this in future competitions. Here is a video of one of races from Saturday, we are the team in the left lane in the purple and yellow :)

Get our brand new Flyball club up & running and competing in our first competition before the end of the year :)

If you are going to have a look at feeding some raw in the diet I highly recommend heading to Instincto located at Capalaba They have a great range and their prices are very good :)

Classes in QLD to

A Venus fly trap plant and a few weeks later followed it up with an entire chilli plant with a large number of chillies on it. Hasn't eaten another plant since :)

Portuguese Podengo Pequeno, I only asked about fifty times before I could remember :)

I met one of his littermates today :) so cute

Meals for Mutts is a hit in my household, pretty sure they will send out samples too

It is a bit further to drive but Animal Options at Ormeau is fantastic, I travel about 35min to see Rowan and wouldn't go anywhere else

There are a few dedicated individuals working towards the competition side. Have a look at this site for some more information http://acsw.co I'm on my phone so I can't see where you are located DobieMum?

It is awesome Steph and all of the dogs absolutely love it :) Can't wait for our next comp which will be held in April

Just a little video of some of the fun we get up to on the Gold Coast

Hope all is well with Quinn this morning & congrats with your move to QLD

Miss Rumour jumping at the Nationals And with her medal

We've had a big weekend with the dogs this weekend. Competing in our State Flyball Titles yesterday and today we competed in the Dock Diving Nationals Miss Rumour was on fire this weekend and came Third in the senior division in the dock diving nationals in the senior division (divisions go by distance jumped not age). Her best jump for the day was 16ft 11inches which is amazing considering how tired she must have been after the flyball comp So proud of my little girl :)

I made into both your flyball and dock diving shots :laugh: It was so warm out there today, all the competing dogs did awesome. So many lovely dogs there today. I'll be in the dock diving tomorrow for anyone coming along with Rumour my little BC

This weekend is the Gold Coast Pet and Animal Expo- lots of stalls and activities that you can do with your dogs. The Flyball State Titles will be there on the Saturday and the Dock Diving National will be on both days. I'll be there competing in both events over the weekend. There are normally lots of other demos like herding and agility http://www.goldcoastpetexpo.com.au

One of my BC's will eat it straight from the tub. She quite often picks up her bone from her bowl and puts it aside so she can eat her Rose Hip first. Both my two are on Rose Hip as a joint supplement
