Hey all those coming to spring fair in NSW let me know maybe we could do a group photo. Whos in ?? As i am working with Barbara Killworth who is the official photographer for the Spring fair shows...

LOL I only just found this post... luck i have had my jacket for a while now.. freezing around here. Its been to Sydney, Canberra a few times and we froze at Bungendore even with the warmest coat...lol Best jacket ever .. hard to have piccies for you though as mine normally has the camera poking out the front of it.

I ran this show for many years unitl the show society chose to let another person take it over as they were told the show could raise more money. I was happy to go along and show last year (and win) so i hope its not goinng to just stop running. unfortunately I dont know what is going to be in 2011

This evening you may have seen the channel 9 TV show The Enforcers which profiled a Sydney suburban council perusing a person owning a council registered Pit Bull who was refusing to have it assessed as per NSW state Government legislation. This legislation is to identify the breed, Dogs NSW allocated Mrs ...... .......... as an assessor. Mrs .......... is qualified to judges Toys only, she has absolutely no qualifications in determining a Staffordshire Bull Terrier from a Pit Bull or any other breed for that matter (except Toys). Mrs .......... assessed that the dog had a pump handle tail therefore was a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and the fact that it had light eyes and a red nose although makes her scary does not indicate that she is Pit Bull??? This is becoming a very big issue, as this is not the first time this has happened with other assessors. Although, in the past allocation of judges with All Breeds status they are also giving the wrong information about our breed. Our breed is now known as the most dangerous dog in Australia. This is caused by the mismanagement of Dogs NSW who have not kept anyone with breed knowledge in the loop. The Society has no knowledge of how the uneducated assessors came up with information except that they may have supposedly passed a quasi course. This course has been created again by a "judge" with no knowledge of our breed. It is time that the breed owners and the breed clubs stood up and were counted in this very serious matter before our breed is under serious threat. Please advise your Stafford friends no matter show or pet of the fact that they may be needed very soon to make appointments with their local members regarding this matter We welcome any comment of and assistance. Kind regards Kim Reeder Secretary SBTS of NSW Inc Australia’s Foundation/Parent Club of Australia Since 1965

lol it has to be good a stafford design ,.. lol very cute

It was a bad weekend for the locals i would imagne. Unfortunatly for insurance etc they had to open the show for some things like pavillion etc. We got as far as Wagga from this side and Vic judges did nt get far past border from what i was told. The town will have a big clean up ahead. along with many others in the area.

The best way to achieve anything in the ring is to have the dog enjoy himself. You need to have a good connection with the dog to keep them happy as well. Staffords tend to just love being with thier owners any way.

Which Terrier breeds are you looking at ? also working dogs ? as some breeds wont be at all shows its hard to tell. But of course we know that terriers are the best of them all any way, and they are normally in ring 6 at Erskine park - The Bill Splilstead Complex of Canine Affairs. on Luddneham rd.

oh so wish i could have etered never knew there was a show on.. and i will finally be up that way too. bugger i miss it.. but i will area in that area for a few days.
