think Advantix repels mozzies

no problems,look forward to meeting you and Scout

I can supply a sample of Artemis if anyone is interested

I am feeding Artemis Fresh Mix Adult with some chicken wings,brisket bones etc Also add a flaxseed oil capsule or evening primrose oil.Both dogs coats are lovely and shiney and soft

When I moved here I checked out both and prefered the SCDT one better,not as big a club It's at the Dapto showgrounds.Entrance is just down from the police station in the little street on the right,sorry not sure what it's called Training is 8.30 am although we don't start till 9am and goes till 10am.1st lesson is free than you join and than it's $4 a week Flyball training is tues nights and agility is wednesday nights.Let me know if you'll be coming,I'm the treasurer so usually around helping out with new memberships somewhere Julie

there's only the 2 clubs in Wollongong.South Coast Dog Training(which I attend as well as several other DOL'ers)train saturday morning at 8.30am at Dapto Showground.The other club trains Saturday afternoon at 3pm at JJ Kelly Park. If you don't mind the drive you could travel to Sutherland(which i will be doing to attend their Rally O Classes)as they train sunday mornings PM me if you'd like any more info

thanks for that link westielover.Might have to price some of the pvc to see how much they would cost to build

Depends if your club is ANKC or ADAA, if it's ADAA it's right, if it's ANKC it's 60, but once your dog has got it, it really doesnt make that much difference to them. thanks for clearing that up.I know we are affiliated with ADAA so 55cm is correct than

I'm just waiting on a reply from this mob before I deceide who to order the weave poles from http://www.caninefunsports.com.au/

our club is telling us spacing is 55cm,is that wrong?

Only started agility 7 weeks ago and started doing weave poles last week.Am interested in buying a set for home use and found weave poles at Airdogs but soemone that does agility mentioned she didn't think they were competition standard ,that they were smaller. Can any knowledgable agility tell me if they are suitable? http://www.airdogs.com.au/agility/home.php?cat=252

I own a foxie an 8 year old who had never been to an obedience class in his life till late last year.I took him to 3 classes and he picked things up fairly quickly although a lot different to train than the shepherds. I was contemplating doing flyball with him but it clashes with my daughters netball training Laffi,I'm happy to express post him anytime you're ready :rolleyes:

hopefully it's not available here.

Received this in an email this morning,not sure if it's available here Over the weekend the doting owner of two young lab mixes purchased Cocoa Mulch from Target to use in their garden. They loved the way it smelled and it was advertised to keep cats away from their garden. Their dog Calypso decided that the mulch smelled good enough to eat and devoured a large helping. She vomited a few times which was typical when she eats something new but wasn't acting lethargic in any way. The next day, Mom woke up and took Calypso out for her morning walk. Half way through the walk, she had a seizure and died instantly. Although the mulch had NO warnings printed on the label, upon further investigation on the company's website, this product is HIGHLY toxic to dogs and cats. Cocoa Mulch is manufactured by Hershey's, and they claim that 'It is true that studies have shown that 50% of the dogs that eat Cocoa Mulch can suffer physical harm to a variety of degrees (depending on each individual dog) However, 98% of all dogs won't eat it.' Snopes.com verifies this information. See their write-up at http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/cocoamulch.asp Cocoa Mulch, which is sold by Home Depot, Foreman's Garden Supply and other Garden supply stores, contains a lethal ingredient called ' Theobromine'. It is lethal to dogs and cats. It smells like chocolate and it really attracts dogs. They will ingest this stuff and die. Several deaths already occurred in the last 2-3 weeks Theobromine is in all chocolate, especially dark or baker's chocolate which is toxic to dogs. Cocoa bean shells contain potentially toxic quantities of th eobromine, a xanthine compound similar in effects to caffeine and theophylline. A dog that ingested a lethal quantity of garden mulch made from cacao bean shells developed severe convulsions and died 17 hours later. Analysis of the stomach contents and the ingested cacao bean shells revealed the presence of lethal amounts of theobromine.

mines a 6cm square piece of clear perspex,they gave it to us at training

I think they are way overpriced too,wanna make me one

Just wondered if anyone owns one and if the are worth the money http://www.airdogs.com.au/agility/product....=258&page=1 I have a gsd who has started agility and while doing 2on 2off I'm not convinced she's doing all touches 100% .

there's already a few powders on the market available here in Aust http://www.pawzazzpetz.com.au/gpage17.html

if the hydrobath place don't disinfectant there baths/pumps properly the dog may have picked something up or the shampoo as mentioned may not have been rinsed properly

should be able to eat fairly quickly,the bone is actually quite soft,you can generally cut through it with a knife

I've just brought some to start my weaving training,they just suggested a couple of garden stakes to start with.Any tips for getting them in really hard ground?

thats what I have and they are great BTW-thats a great price on the above link if anyone if thinking about one

all good here

just going through my wish list and my bank a/c to see if they agree Will PM you Any idea what day we need to have order to you??
