Waggy

He looked lovely close up. I can see why he has won so much.

Thanks for your advice.

Sounds very pricey. I just went through this with my bitch & prog test was about $59 per test. Got results the same day. Maybe you need to try another vet that specialises in this more for better price and service.

I so agree with your post.

A coffee to keep me awake before the show for those early starts.

Thanks for all your advice. I feel I have a course of action now.

Thanks I will

I know what you are saying but the vet is certain there is only one there. Hope she is wrong.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hope it all turns out well for you and the pup. I agree with the advice of returning all the deposit. Put it down to experience and move on. :)

I found out today from a 5 week scan of my girl that she is expecting only one pup. Any advice about whelping and socialising for one pup. I have a small terrier breed.

Good question. I was wondering that too. I actually entered 3 dogs as I thought I needed two passes being a A & H show.

Any news or results from these shows?.

Thanks for posting numbers. Group 2 numbers a little down.

I am expecting a litter in 6 weeks & from the scan it looks like a small litter. Following a discussion with a friend today it was suggested that My bitch is having a small litter because I am line breeding with this litter & not using an outcross which could result in a bigger litter. I must admit all my really big litters have been outcrosses. Interested in what other breeders have noticed.

BEST IN SHOW - PYRENEAN MOUNTAIN DOG MULTI BIS / BISS/ Australian Supreme Champion Barreges Theoden Woo Hoo Not a bad effort for a near 9 year old boy !! So happy for Theoden - such a gorgeous dog & I'm stoked for his owner Tania Kirkland - a wonderful show team & incredible ambassadors for the Pyr breed in Australia. Congrats to him & his owner. Great to see a 9 year old doing so well. Some dogs don't come into their own until they are 5 or 6.

Any results so far for this show ?? I mean 3rd of Feb. oops.

Any results to post yet ?

Agree with all of the above. Awesome experience, went in 2008 and loved it. Get there early if you hope to get a seat around the ring of your breed judging. And the crowds are just crushing but great shopping. Enjoy the experience. :)

Have just been reading some Dog mags my sister has lent to me . Noticed all the big dog ads of the big winning dogs. Some dogs have a full page spread every month. Lovely to see but why do these people pay big money for these ads always with the handler in. Would judges really be influenced by these ads? What do others think? I personally cannot afford such ads. Does this put me and others at a disadvantage?
