A win is a prize in it's self, anything else is a bonus. Yep I treasure my fringies (especially when they are fancy multi-coloured ones )

A bit late uploading last weeks but I was away over the weekend - Week 13

A sheltie was BIG both days so far, not sure which one of Veronica's though sorry as I'm not there.

Yes showdog I agree, even if the grounds were fab, if the judges are crap then I won't be wasting my time. Will happily put up with slightly worse grounds for a good judge. Prefer the interstate judges and internationals for my Field

Think you hit the nail on the head there PF! - show clusters with 2-3 per weekend, kick off on a friday afternoon is great! - camping facilities/exhibitor & dog friendly accommodation - easy to navigate grounds - I don't like parking a million miles away and trekking up and down mountains! - food - rings that aren't full of potholes - no one wants to see me stack it! - space around the ring to set up - Nimmitabel was a bit squished, but a fair trade off for no prickles!

It depends where you are shipping the animal. Agents are the transport company, they book the flights (some airlines only book through agents), arrange the AQIS paperwork, conduct health checks, lodge air way bills etc.

Lol thats me - there are 4 Fields on Saturday...4 How excitement! Are you showing Flynn too? Good luck with Moo, who are the other Fields? Relatives? Yep I show both of them wherever I go (unless its a specialty etc). Everyone is a relative in the Field world pretty much She will be against her half-brother and 2 cousins

it is exciting isn't it, even if you get beat Hell yes! My bitch has had competition the past 3 weeks (only 1 other bitch) but hey its better than nothing and even judges give you a startled look like wow 2 of you! Plus its good practice for the Royal as well. I love having competition. I've only once had no other Aussies for Flynn to go against - I was shocked - and I didn't go to the show expecting it!

No No, definitely red and white

As I've explained to you before some judges are not confident to put a rare breed for what the ringside gossip mongers might say. Its easy for them to give BIG to a common breed with large numbers and not create a fuss. And I agree with what else has been said about rare breeds, it can get quite demoralising to constantly have people cheapen our champions. Yes my bitch earnt her title on 6/7/8 point BOBs but does that mean shes not a great example of her breed? Its not her fault there aren't many Fields out in the ring. She has many classes in group wins and has been short-listed for BIG on numerous occasions. And I keep taking her to shows because one day I'll find that judge that will give her a BIG and I hope that one day she will be eligible for her Grand. Its not "easy" showing a rare breed, you can and will get non-awarded if they aren't up to scratch! And also young dogs can get awarded over older ones if they are of high enough quality. My Aussie won back to back Best in Groups from the puppy class, not an easy feat! And to weigh in on the Champion Class - no I don't think we need it. I don't see our point system changing anytime soon and why fix it if its not broke?

From the schedule it was Miss B Daines (NSW)
