dogdude Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I have seen many unlikely breeds trialling, can't remember a Pei off hand though. You don't see many Bull Terriers, Bull Dogs, Sight Hounds, Danes or Mastiffs among others trialling. The working types have more often than not got a higher level of drive, and generally a higher percentage of the top dogs are working dogs, or gundog breeds. It is not uncommon to see Rotties and Staffys and crossbreeds are common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdf Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Well I don't have a Shar Pei but I do have a Whippet. I don't think there are many of them in the trial ring either. We just entered a mock trial on the weekend and got a nice passing score so I'm really happy and so proud of my boy. Next step is a real trial.

badboyz Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I have just started obedience with my boy, so defineately not up to the trialing stage. Peibe did say she had done training with her boy for a while, not sure how far she got though. I would like to do agility with him, but need him to be reliable off lead first. I think that will be the biggest hurdle for us. I am pretty sure I would have no problems with my young girl. She is bright and well behaved, but my boy is so much more fun to work with, with his enthusiasm. I find Pei to be very intelligent and very quick to pick up on things. Once they learn they do not ever forget (unless they choose to of course!LOL). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoemonster Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 There is a shar pei that trials in Vic at the moment, I think it's either ccd or cd but could have passed up to higher since I saw it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Squish Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 thats for the replys guys! any info on the pei in melb would be great! any photos of the whippet in the ring, and any other breeds would be good to see, will post photos of asia at training this sunday! currently trialling my rotty ruger & he has a staffy friend that competes with him ,there are quite a few at trials near us! dont see many different breeds out at trials love to watch all breeds but something different if it is a rarer breed! my shar pei is doing well but she is having trouble at night with shadows prob due to her entropion surgery, she can be quite jumpy. if it means only day trials thats cool with me, i think she still has it! please keep me updated with rarer breeds in the ring!thanks!

ness Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 (edited) Just noticed your in Adelaide. I have a brilliant dvd of some of your non typical breeds doing some fantastic stuff. The women on the DVD trained whippets for competition obedience but there is the most gorgeous basset hound on there as well as some others. Are you entered next weekend at the GSD club?
