I think Bromhund Ghee Whiz was 1st in Aust bred bitch

Oh Ptolomy I hope that everything turns out ok - thinking of both you and scoota.

Hey all Need to know - is there a show for Group 5 (working dogs) this Sunday? I dont' have a mag with me and I really need to know, as I have double booked myself!! If anyone could advise ASAP that would be GREAT!!

When i sent my bitch over to be mated she ran with two other bitches in season and they all had a humphappy time ;)

Hope all is ok with Scoota Ptolomy...

Don't say that - I have plenty of time before I freak out - loads of time!!

Day 42 (Week 6)

all is ok murmarstaffs! here are ari's week 6 (Day 42) belly shots... I think that things are dropping a bit... her waist has gone in a bit since last week.

Spartan got all excited once, couldn't stop, and went straight through a bottom pane of a window... he was wearing an elizabethan at the time for another issue and luckily that took the impact, meaning he ended up outside, none the wiser, and not a scratch on him.

I agree with the swelling Tris... i started to notice that on Ari a few days before her ultrasound. By ultrasound day, I was fairly certain, but the photos looked a different story.

are you ultrasounding Tris?

woo hoo good luck skyehaven!!

I am so sorry about your cat Miss Kitty RnH... how very awful for you It might be worth raising the awareness to the council ranger if the vet has seen more than one attack like it... Congrats on Hemi's obedience pass Wazzat fantastic news!!

Piper congratulations!!! 8 well you will be busy!!! it'd certainly scare me if my vet counted 8!! looking at Ari I am not sure if she will be having many more than 5... she is getting wider now but not much else... we shall see though I don't want to be eating my words later.

woo hoo I'll be checking until you post something!!!

Piper we are waiting!!

It could be anything. when I had my dogs allergy testing done, he was allergic to a specific type of mould!!

lovely MS - she is looking great!! I love how they sit on their bums around their belly... Ari has already started doing it and her belly isn't really in the way!

I am on the fence with this one. I like the traditionally docked breeds and I am more about the fact that i wish it was a choice. I quite like Weimaraners with tails, and I find it more difficult getting used to a docked tail on them now. Old English, I am on the fence. A nice, fairly low set tail carried nicely (not over the back, for example) looks nice, and it is easily disguised when stacking in the showring, but it does throw out the proportions and for that reason I find it much easier to show under a judge who has judged them with tails. I don't breed OES, but I do know of several people who have left the breed since the docking ban. I think that few of them gave it a chance, and their arguments that it is more hygienic are really out the window, as several still in the breed remark that it is easier to keep a tailed OES clean. To me, the breed is still the same breed, just with a tail, and by stopping the breeding and reducing the genepool, they are only driving their breed towards extinction. As for people who say they think it is cruel, well I tend not to get into arguments with them. I say I have my own opinions on it. I saw it done when i was 8 years old and the pups barely squeaked. I think one of them slept through it. If (and this will never happen) it was ever brought back, I probably wouldn't bother to dock my breed, but I wouldn't disagree with those that did.

I know - she's got ages... she certainly looks fatter in real life than she does in the pics. Love the sad ears too - makes it look like i'm performing some kind of animal cruelty.

lab rat he's about 6.5 months now - he's very cute.

Week 5!! :D

ok here we are :D

I may be showing a baby OES but I can't remember :D Sorry the pics are coming I just have to get them off my camera.
