Haha emma who taught ttouch ? I only ask as im a ttouch/tteam praticinor for horses. Church unfortunately doant have a play mate our other dog is pushing 11 and only sleeps all day, church will hang with him but you can tell hes itching to do more. He knows inside is walking pace only (young kids old dog small house) but he still tries his zoomies everywhere ! I will try and enforce it more and il try the Sleepy dog thing :)

Thanks for the link spotted devil. !will look into retriveving weve done all the susan garret work hes a machine does something once and hes got it down pat its killing me keeping him amused!

Lol hes not from working lines both his parents are lazy show dogs, he came from a nsw breeder. we go to brush farm traning school sundays and agility tuesdays (but we are stuck there cause I wont jump him till hes two) we are working towards our ccd(first trail in jan) is there a retriever training club in west sydney? I picked this breed for the chill factor lol if I wanted a high work dog id go for a collie!!!

Aussie dog can one person put it up by themselves? And how heavy is it ?

He will sit and stay, hes crate trained to. When we walk on the lead we sit down stay heel he does all that perfectly. Am I doing to much with him? Hes not a chill out dog even having a nap he gets restless and has to do something we are working on the triangle of temptation to help his self control

What a lovely vet you should send her a card :)

Hello my puppy church (6 month flat coat) he gets a half hour to fourty min walk a day (only 10 mins on lead the rest off) in a bush walk setting and splashing in the creek plus four five to ten min training sessions (clicker) a kong food puzzel boxes ect and hes still hyperactivie and destructive I dont want to damage his young joints but at the same time all this exercise he gets isnt tiring him out I know they say mental stimulus is the most tiring but he can learn a new trick in a day and at six months know bang roll over stand sit down bow pray crawl tunnel wobble board's balance beams ride a skateboard all his toys by name in the bin fetch slippers ect I just want a tired puppy !!@

Thanks poocow :) what a great idea!

Im sorry for the dumb question but how do virtual dog shows work ?

Damascaus my wise old man taugh me The joy of a mid day nap, feather pillows might be more comfortable but they are harder to clean up when shredded that I will never ever be alone (not even to go to the toilet hahaha) Church my young sweet heart has taught me the joy of a zoomie run that gardens are to be dug in and that crates are the best thing ever for a naughty puppy !!! Togther that I love doggy breath in the morning dog hair in and on everything that a dog slime covered tennis ball wont kill me

http://www.k9pro.com.au/online-store/dog-training-collars/prong-collars/ steve from k9 pro is your best bet. However you might want to check they are legal in your state

A frustrated dog though with high prey drive thats not being meet take it to a park kids running... isn't that far fetched. Full disclosure and signed saying the new owners take full responsibility. The law says any dog that aggressively attacks a human or another animal causing injury or death should be declared dangerous.

Cough I dont know this could be me but to me a naughty dog chews up slippers or pees on carpet this dog has killed. in the city there are cats. Rabbits small dogs... small child ?

Turning troy paging penelope????

Horses though ive already had my heart horse and lost him its not the same Had a great pet rat as a kid

They bought a healthy puppy at 8 weeks now 8 months later isn't healthy. I dont suppose there is a way to tell if the patellas where a result of genetic bad luck or injury caused by there household is there ? How long does the health Gaurentee from the breeder last ? If the dog develops cancer in five years is the breeder ment to pay ?

Okay dumb question but ive entered church in 2 minor puppy (he will just be over six months) now say we win our class cause we are the only flat coat there and no other dogs enter any other classes for our breed does that mean (judges discretion aside) we automatically win bob ?

Can neuters attain grand champion level or just champion level ?

Thanks :)

So we could earn a champ as an enture and then one as a neuter ? How many points are needed foe a championship and how many points for first ect ?

Can someone please explain the dog show point system to me ? Is there a time limit? Say I got the dog desexed are the points he won as an entire transferable to his neuter championship? thanks

anyone else showing at castle hill nov 13? it will be church's first show (flat coat retriever so gun dog) we've entered in class 2 and s/stakes 6-12 months we've started hand stripping his coat today so hopefully his looking his best :)

you can offer to sign a non breeding contract which basically means if you do breed the pups cant be registered so no registered breeder will breed with him or you can neuter and show in neuter classes

Two things how old is the dog ? It must be transfered over before 24 months to ransfer it requires your signiture and the breeders the forms are avalible dor your states canine body And second is your dog show quality ? Does it meet the breed standard how does it match up to current showing akitas ?

I Know im very happy with thw result. so if any of you are at a show in nsw and see church and me come say hi
