What's that saying ? never work with children or animals It's now... never work with your OH and one Whippet ETA: I was aiming for that real doe eyed loving look, you know that special moment. All I got was cheek over his shoulder, " boo-woo-wooood", tongue out and stupidity

You're mad going outside

a very fuzzy " Bubba The Bump " pointee pic... It's too hot and I wasn't going back outside to have another crack at it

Waddling up to a breed assessor and wagging your tail is a good start in being found not to be of a restricted breed. Amstaff she ain't :D

That council have been known to follow up an NOI for a resticted breed, with an NOI to declare dangerous.

I never saw it

We live between Orange and Bathurst in NSW. That hill has a local park and look out on it. It over looks the valley and is good for sunrises, no good for sunsets though

Jag, I had to sit and wait this morning for it to blow out of the valley, I couldn't see anything ten minutes before I took those. If I had the time to wait I would have had a better sunrise out of it but alas I had to run

'Twas a little bit of a fog this morning... Made it difficult to see anything, let alone take a pic of it :rolleyes:

A bit broing tonight, I was running out of light and had to go outside and just take a pic of whatever. Not much thought in either of these as a suject. ETA: not much thought in my spelling and typing either

I have a couple for today, I have many more but I've picked these two. We are very proud to know Emily-Kate and were honoured to be invited to the awards ceremony and BBQ. Emily-Kate is a very special young lady and we love her. She knew we had the camera there but had no idea I'd taken these

I'm a bit late in tonight, all that pav baking put me behind

She's the clone of Raz She inherited his eyelashes and maybe skin tone , that's it

I have no idea what they've done to it, but it now goes through the dogs, produces mountains of crap, they no longer have the muscle mass or the coat condition that they once had on it. If someone is getting good results from it, then of course keep on using it if it's working for your dog

further to my comments, I noticed the first change in about 1999/2000. I can't quite remember but I was concerned enough to contact the then rep and the company themselves at the time. and then again a few years ago.

It used to be good stuff, the dogs did well on it and always looked a million dollars, it went to the crapper a few years ago now and it's now rubbish.

So many things on yesterday that I didn't get a chance to get out and snap something. I walked into the bathroom, went " raaaaaaaaaaaaahhh" to Poodie and clicked

I had ten minutes in my time budget for photo shoot and spent 4 hours at Bunnings and in the car I should have taken pics at Bunnings :rolleyes:

Ok this is my photo of the day and it's for all of the "HOLDEN" fans out there This bloke nearly ran me over :rolleyes: and why he couldn't have come over the top of the Mount 30 seconds earlier is beyond me. He would have been in my first pic and I'd have been thrilled with it. Here's the empty track And here is how the track "feels" when there is no one there. It just yurns for "race weekend"

I've once again enjoyed the last few days of pics. There's been some awesome pics and I don't know how you " creative" types come up with them I was speaking to Ash the other day and she said the idea was to give people the confidence to better themselves and I can see that lots of people have.

All I can suggest is if you live in NSW and you have an unregistered Amstaff or a cross breed of any kind that may come under ranger scrutiny, you get together any supporting evidence that will prove your dog not to be of a restricted breed. If you have nothing and a ranger says it's a Pit Bull, can either opt to PTS at that point, accept the declaration and lock your dog up as per the requirements or go off to a breed ID, which may or may not go in your favour. I do not know of one person who has been in contact with me, that knew of their rights under the CAA and average Joe is intimidated and threatened by rangers into handing over and destroying their dog. I am still getting calls from people who have been told to destroy their dogs and have opted to do so, not knowing that there is a due process.

. Anything less than 100% AST blood .... its NOT an AST its just a cross bred dog. AST with 100% AST blood that finds itself born to a back yarder and thus having NO pedigree Paperwork to prove its parentage can find itself subject to the BSL. BUY registered, save yourself the Drama. I understand what your saying. I own 4 papered amstaffs but was wanting to know if a person has a dog that is 1/2 amstaff & can prove that its amstaff parent is papered how do they stand with BSL. PS I'm not condoning byb just trying to learn to keep my dogs as safe as I can. You'd need to start looking at cases where parentage has been proven by DNA and accepted. I don't know of anyone in NSW who has taken on the council in court rather than go straight to breed ID. I know of some that have come under ranger scrutiny and during the 7 days prior to the issuing of the NOI, have been able to prove to council that they do not have a resticted breed and council has taken it no further. You have the opportunity to appeal to council before they issue it.

PPS- what would stop council saying that wobbly's dog is a pitbull if done as you suggest, thats just going looking for trouble. As the legislation stands at the moment, once you have a dog breed assessed you lose your right of appeal to challenge the decision. Once the breed assessor has made a decision that's it. You can only be issued with one NOI and you only get one crack at assessent. You can beat council to the punch if you want to and I know of favourable outcomes from owners seeking NOI and breed assessment off their own back. Beat council to it and there's nothing they can do about it. Personally I think that all pound and rescue dogs who could come under ranger scrutiny in NSW should be NOI'd and breed assessed prior to adoption. That way adopters know they have a 100% legal breed or cross of dog and it's not going to cause them any issues with council at a later date. They are then bound buy the same legislation as everyone else. If you are going down that road, you need to be prepared that your dog may be assessed as an RB cross and that it's going to pass the temp test after breed ID.

.

You could always go and request an NOI from your council, have your dog breed assessed, that way you wouldn't have to feel like a criminal for having a dog without papers, you'd have a slip of paper that says you're not.
