Have to agree with poodlemum to a degree about GSD's I grew up with Family members that owned them some where good others would cringe and walk around you snarling with tail between their legs... I have a slight issue with my little dog running with unfamilar larger dogs of any breed, especially if i dont know if they are used to small dogs... Damn little dog has no fear and when snapped at will still go back in and try and play :rolleyes: - Stupid Lowchen will get herself killed one day ...

So sorry to hear Skyehaven, I stil remember back when you were getting her... R.I.P

I think there needs to be something going back to the individual pet shop. We have 3 pet shops here on the border and one of them is actually quite good at getting it right (for a pet shop) and the other 2 are abysmal. We used to see many that had come from the other 2 pet shops and in fact were still microchipped to them. I'd like to know what the checks will be. Without a microchip link to a petshop, how will they know?? I can see one good thing possibly coming of this. If the system can be tweaked, so that animals can be traced back to the pet shops, then there's no reason why it can't include ANKC registered breeders and those from WD registries. Finally , we may see some real date about where the pound dogs actually come from... Yeah I think it is great - I think all microchips should have a link to the person who bred the dog/rehomed the dog, pet shop, rescue, breeder, byb etc. Well who ever breeds the litter is supposed to Microchip the litter, still dont know how they can pass them onto the pet shop with out doing that... Most people will buy a puppy from a pet shop and not realise they have to register the puppy themselves, they think the pet shop has done that for them, casue they are handed the Chip Paperwork. Even when i worked for a petshop they didnt tell the customer you need to take that to the Council and register, so many are left registered to the petshop... Or the petshop stuffs up and theyare still the owner Better off if only ones to breed are registered with the Working dog or ANKC...

Just dont change you Dogs NSW Membership until the Pups are gone or you have to transfer your prefix lol (change your address you your mums lol) Isnt as well like some places different councils have different Stipulations on how many?

Think they mean level topline... Try Working line GDS's that might be a start...?

No one knows...

Does anyone know when there is going to be a lure coursing day in NSW...?

There are a couple of Field (English) Pointer Breeders in the Breed Section on the Main Dogzonline, best would be talking to them and getting some advice... From what ive heard makes no difference as long as the dog is willing.

Standard Poodle...!! Easy to train, low grooming needs if clipped back, will chase bunnies etc....

Tibetan Mastiff Irish Wolfhound Iggy Great Dane Aussie Shepherd Borzoi Doberman Pap Saluki Pointer (English and German) All own my top 2 Favs with Standard Poodles and Afghans :D

I wont enter under a Known Face Judge... but these days the followers will go anywhere to be put up by the Judge O.o After seeing what some Judges put and the Critiques that some Specialty judges say, the judges that cant be bothered looking at your dog, to busy chatting to people outside the ring while your dog is in the ring, Chatting to the another handler with the same breed while your dog is in the ring... I came to conclusion I couldnt be bothered with showing that much these days, with the increase of show entires and petrol some shows arent just worth going too. I attend more shows these days taking photos for friends and people I know. Or I just enter for the fun of it and just sit ringside with an already marked catalog, thats how predictable some Judges are Especially after being on a committee and the first thing the Show Manager said "what judges have you done good under" O.O Wat can you do nothing will change

Ahhhh so this is why my flight was DELAYED!!!!! AWESOME 4day weekend!!! Loads of Pics the Uniform day was a Blast!!! LOADS of Pics :p MEt up with some old friends met some new ones... :D

Then seeing how many times you can get away with it ;) Manners is a good one, always good to thank the Judge even if you dont win, although some judges arent used to it Learn watch and practice, watch what other handlers are doing if you like what they are doing practice or ask for help...

Her Crate is in another room when she is crated, as soon as i close the door or walk away she will start whinging, leading to screaming. She will quiet down if you come near her (past the door) but if realises your not letting her out she'll start again.... Same if Kenneled, but she will sit at the door whinging and screaming... she could have as many toys another dog in with her, but as soon as she knows im gone or see's some she starts again... Her Half sister was the same, which in the end she was banned coming her from other family members, but the only difference she lived in a kennel situation... The only thing now is I give up, i dont lock her up cause it casues to much stress in the house

Ahhhh see you have decided on getting a Chihuahua now

Blue Bars Blue lights Blue bum Outta da Blue Blue beyond Blueskies

I like the idea of Surprise Gen Sp Judge... There would be no way of keeping secrets of who is judging what, word would slip numbers may be up but once they hear numbers will drop, kinda like when they have a change of judge on the day of a show people who have already turned up wont show under them lol but nothing will change everyone will still have their opinions etc

I have Afghans, so therefore i come with the natural sterotype... - Afghans arent Dumb I also live with Standard Poodles... That doesnt help much either... - Poodles are Dumb I own a Lowchen too... - Lowchen ate all the energizer batteries :D Me typing this post so doesnt help ;) but I dont care I love my dogs and the dogs i live with and thats all that matters

usually crated/penned during the day for about an hour... Most of the methods i've tried are just over a month, usually into the net month and there is no improvement i start slowly trying something else... I can leave her alone in a crate/pen at a show and no issues only at home :/

Showie... 3rd Generation Trained Vet Nurse Used to teach Show training Have titled a Standard Poodle, a lowchen and gained nearly all but the last 6points for an Afghan Handled... Beligan shepherds, Poodles (all sizes), Lowchens, Havanese, Bichon, Great Danes and Papillion Part-time groomer Ex committee member of an all breeds club Wants to learn Agility, so i can jump threw hoops

All the shows at Grafton will be normal All Breeds shows, so each show (6) run as normal, There is a Chance most breeds are there but unless someone knows if a particular breed is going most of us wont know what breeds are entered until we see a catalog lol Or if we get a breed/ring run down with out numbers

suggest getting there early if your going sunday, most people on the last will start to pack up once they have finished, saturday if you can make it will be a better day as there are 2 shows on that day Yeah fun... Smisch you told me Im taking in your Flab hahahah

She's 8mths now, spray in the face she see's that as a game.... Typical Lowchen everything is a game lol :/

Thanks!!!

Anyone have a link to the prefix search database... I cannot seem to find it atm.... lol
