I did chicken breast jerky and it turned out fantastic! Also tried the vip roll, cut thin into chips and they are great too Doing ox cheek now and its taking forever, and my god it looks disgusting

Well done Glorybea!!!

Yeah I wouldnt change now, you only have the lead on for CCD anyway, then its gone I borrowed a lead for Mollys last trial which was a bit shorter and it was fantastic, didnt get caught under her legs when I forgot t shorten it in my hand, and I thought I have to get one this length, then I relaised I'm not doing on lead work anymore

In trials and leading up to it I held it in my left hand, use my left hand with lead in it for heel signal, my right hand for the down signal and I swap lead to my right hand and use a left handed stand signal Mainly cos if the lead is in my left hand I found it asier to leave it loose and act as though it wasnt there and though the club teach a right handed stand signal a judge told me to use the left handed signal as he saw how twisted my body with a right handed signal. He also uses a left handed stay signal which I would like to change to as well

Maybe you could call him Del for short? Cos Mandy isnt very macho!

Oh i'm so sorry

Oh and I put it in the garage as its on for a day or more, so only the garage stinks!

Make sure it has different temperature settings as apparently you cant do meat in the ones that only have one temp I got the Ezidry snack maker from these people http://www.natureswonderland.biz/Biodynami...iSnackmaker.htm Its been good, though I tried chicken thigh and it stayed really greasy, but the livers and kidneys etc have been really good The liver I dried from raw went chewy and I did it in strips, froze it when not using and it was great, but the liver I boiled first went harder and drier, and was so easy to break up, and could just be left out in a zip loch bag

I'm doing chicken livers and beef hearts at the moment The beef liver works really well boiled firs't so I've boiled this stuff first too, though itstinks the house out!

Ooh I'm in experiment mode with my dehydrator, I might have to try that one Does it dry right through? I tried hotdogs and they dried kind of wierd, still abit moist, but maybe I just didnt persist for long enough (it was about 24 hours I think) Sorry its a little OT

What about Hakunamatata, it wouldnt be hard to call out in a recall!!!! :rolleyes:

Awwww Erny!!! He is just beautiful!!!! Congratualtions!!! And I like Roger! lol

Ptolomy you looked great in winner of winners! And such great results fo rthe rest of it! I really had the best weekend, so enjoyable, everyone is so supportive and friendly OMG as I am typing this post, one of my angels just climbed up and stole my dinner :p

Well done! Congratualtions on your title and all your hard work!

Excellent! Make sure you write heaps of it down before you forget!

Well done Skye!!! Gamby, I was so thrilled to see Clive and his staffy Tia in Top Dog, she looks wonderful, and really deserved her 2nd place, GO THE STAFFORDS!!!! Oh and i'm pleased to say I'm not quite as nervous anymore, even though I didn manage to trip over my own foot at one stage in the heeling!

Theres gonna be a few DOLers brags from this weekends trials, so I'll put mine in too! On Sat Molly got her 2nd pass and won the CCD ring with a score of 90, and then today she did it again! Score of 93, pass and won the ring! Got her CCD title at the Nationals! Such a clever girl!!!

Really obedience classes dont do a whole lot for a dogs obedience, they are only there to teach you how to teach your dog, so if you know how to teach her, there is no reason you cant do the obedience somewhere else, or even at club but off to the side

Good stuff! I agree, write notes down, you'll find that you will forget lots of things the second they walk out!

Even better, thats the red one isnt it?

oh sorry glorybea, I didnt see this, yep from the chemist, in a red tube or tub rebbull, glad its working!

We have the weatherbeeta landas, and they are great. They can run riot through the trees and shrubs at mums when we got to visit and are yet to damage them

Yeah for sure, I am so clumsy with it When I was doing target stick I had to tape the clicker to the stick cos I just couldnt co ordinate myself!

I think that sounds like a good idea

Oh thats cool! I am always fumbling with mine!
