Yep, this is in SA but the dog is not registered through the koolie register. They have it associate reigstered for agility as a Koolie. I did say to her that given that someone told her it is "not a breed", how did SACA register it as 1 then. I think it is very disappointing that her entries have been rejected I recently got my licence to judge test levels and said to her if she rocked up into my ring at a test I would never see a problem with it. Would not even occur to me to think that they were not on the list of breeds

She looks like she is doing well. Just a question on the herding test - I know of someone with a Koolie that was told she can not enter it into the Instinct Cert as it is not on the list of recognised herding breeds. She actually sent in an entry and had it returned to her. Does anyone have any details of Koolies that have done their IC or HT? And did they list them as Koolies on the entry? Thanks

Yes, I have 1 of these. They are great. I had a blackdog 1 but I had problems with the hinge on it and know of several other people that also had problems with the hinge on theirs. (I have been told they had a problem with them at 1 stage but not anymore.) So when the blackdog 1 died I bought 1 of these. I have had it for several years now with no problems at all (except for leaving treats in it and it getting a bit smelly in which case I clean it out and hang it on the line for a week, lol)
