There are no laws against Hotels having dogs stay- The reason why dogs are unwelcome at the majority of good hotels is because the owners of the hotels do not want them there. Presumably because they feel that it would be to the detriment of their business. Probably justified considering some stories I have read on here re dog friendly hotels. Anyway, there are some hotels that do allow dogs here in Sydney. I would think that there would be others all over Australia? I think it is sensible that dogs are not allowed everywhere here. For example, I would love to bring my dog to work at my city office. But as Steve said, that while my dog might sit calmly at my feet you can bet that there would be several that wouldnt. There would invariably be a mess, or a fight. Same goes for many other places. And dogs are allowed in some places on public transport- in Victoria they are allowed on trains. The other day I got onto a Sydney bus and saw a man with a papillion on his lap!! As for cafes/restaurants- I take my dog everyday for coffee. There are usually several other dogs happily lying on their owners feet there too. I'm happy to sit outside if it means she can come too. Also I do question that all european dogs are well behaved and walk perfectly offlead everywhere. I haven't ever noticed that and I find it hard to believe. I certainly hope that never happens here. Just yesterday I noticed one of the mums at my kids school walking her young bullmastiff offlead to school. This young dog has tried to jump on my dog when onlead previously and the woman has little control over her. I crossed the road- I certainly wasn't going to take a risk on an offlead 50kg dog. PLUS there is the risk to the dog- its russian roulette near busy roads. :D As for Paris- I havent seen much poo on the streets but god I have smelt the urine everywhere... And I know there are just as many non-sophisticate bogans in France as here (its just pronounced differently). Sheesh what brought that on. I only offered some imformation that is not normally seen in Australia.

Why does hubby get to be the only one in the family with an opinion. That type of thinking went out half a century ago. What happened to equality and an equal partnership in a marriage ? If the wife is going to be the main carer of the dog, the choice of breed should be up to her. I come from several generations of very strong women and cannot understand any woman that just does whatever hubby wants. My sentiments exactly. Would you want a dog of yours in house hold like this ?. Remember we can only go on what is written.

As this is in General Dog Discussion I think it may be a good idea to point out to those that do not show their dogs that in the States many Breed Specialty Shows are held in the Ball Room's of prominent Hotels. The dogs live in the Hotel with their owner/s or handler/s. It is not unusual to get into a lift with several dog's. This is something that you would not find in Australia. If you have been to England you would also find that dog's are far more welcome in some places than they are here. I remember stepping over the Landlords dog in order to get served in Richmond Hotel.

We showed on the Tennis Courts at Noosa Agi for may years. I haven't been their since Adam was a boy so I have no idea what happens these days. Good luck to all going. I shall enjoy the grass at Group One at Durack.

I bet the shops will wonder why the big rush on Bi carb. I will give it a try. Always handy to have on hand as fridge deodorant.

Yes it takes a bit longer but it will be well worth in the end. Good Luck.

Oooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr lovely

Hi Ceilidh, I think you may find that multiple class entries does not apply to all states. If I am wrong there will be plenty to let me know about it.

Cheap Cocktail Saveloy's and Plain Label Footy Franks cut into small thin bite size rounds. Freeze them and use them when needed.

A big freckle?

and his his brothers name from a repeat mating is Ch Nabihah Still The One ET

Congratulations, I can see you are walking air.

I have noticed that although we all say my/our bitch is in whelp, I notice that we really don't say much do we. Now that's fine by me, each to their own. I was wondering if we said our sire and dams names, would it be more interesting to others reading. I will start the ball rolling I have mated my Whippet bitch Ch Oakway Dress Fth Boys (Rhyme) to Ch Nabihah Numero Oono ET (Uno)

Congratulations. Errrrrrrrrrrrr, don't you mean correct size bitch. LOL....you are so right Oakway! :D The sire is only 19.75 inches himself :D So fingers crossed for something special! Good luck with your whippy babies and can't wait to see all the pics! Excellent sizes, and good luck to you to.

First, to be able to show your dog you must be come a member of Dogs Queensland. http://www.cccq.org.au/ After joining you will receive a monthly magazine call The Dog World. In it, it will have all the relevant information where shows are being held in your area and throughout Queensland. When your membership is accepted, your membership card and other information, like how to enter shows will be forwarded to you. May we ask please where you are getting your dog from. We may be able to help you and offer some advise through this "Importing" period. Many on this Forum have great expedience in doing so and may be able to offer you help and advice. Good Luck.

I agree with the others. Spoil and love her and let nature take it's course.

Congratulations Mumma dog. Well done.

Congratulations. Errrrrrrrrrrrr, don't you mean correct size bitch.

In my experience as a greyhound trainer it is usually due to unfit dogs. But not every time. Sometimes it may be caused by over exertion. Cheers.

Well by all accounts I will be whelping two litter's here. Mother and daughter came into season on the same day, were mated on similar days and are due to whelp on the same days. We though it best to keep the girls together and cause no stress whatsoever to either. These two have never been separated before other than the couples days during mating. Should be very interesting for all concerned. Although one litter will not be an Oakway it will be a Shawthing litter, it will and interesting time for all. Maybe it should be my 2 x 2 litter. :D

Orrrrrr stuff, what rotten bad luck. ;) Keep us all informed and the best of luck for their safe arrival at the vets. :D

Getting more like America every day.
