Sheep Herding - Brisbane

[Reddii]

Hi all,

I have 2 BC's I want to get into herding with. The older one (bitch - 15 months) does agility and flyball and is pretty well trained in obedience, just hates it so I don't perservere too often. The other one (dog - 10 months) is going well in obedience, but is also recovering from a cracked elbow so hasn't done anything too strenuous. He loves obedience and is learning a few basic agility manouvers as his condition allows - shadow handling etc.

Pending a positive check up for him in a couple of weeks time I'm keen to get them both (if not, just her ) into herding.

I know Mt Gravatt Showgrounds is available on a Monday night, but we train at Southside and I can't be in two places at once and I want to get CK titled so we need to keep on with it. If worst comes to worst we'll look at changing obedience clubs, but I was wondering if anyone can suggest other times/places to get involved?

Thanks in advance.

Tony

If you PM MrsD she'll be able to let you know where she trains

Also check with FidelisBC's - just not sure if that's her exact nic...

Thanks - you coming tonight? Mr CK is going to be a handful - couldn't get there last week because I was in Sydney and the week before was raining........I'm going to bring the little girl out for a wander in class two as well so OH doesn't have her at home for a while. She's way too good for class 2, but I haven't had her at a fun night so class 2 it is.......at least it's a bit more socialisation.

Cheers.

Yup, i'll be there tonight :p

There was only four of us there in 3rd class last week - so we got to spend some time doing 'our own thing' which each of us got one on one attention - so that was cool :p If i can just signal stands properly then B will do great on or of lead

Eep...watch out in class 2...a whole bundle of us class 1'ers got bumped up (so Sabe and i will be in there ) so classes from tonight onwards should be interesting! And i'm guessing that a bundle of class 2'ers got bumped up to class 3 - so that should be a bigger class as well ;)

Xena won't be a problem, except when she 'escapes' occasionally at agility she ignores all other dogs except for CK and only then pays him attention when he is with me and she thinks she is missing out. The other week I had her in a dog park on a sunday night (what was I thinking??) and she was so intent on her ball that she didn't even notice the poodle licking her face - seriously! Even when CK is mounting her she doesn't pay him any attention! ;)

see you there.

Hehehe - i'm looking forward to it :p Not looking forward to when Sabe is in class 3 and i have to try and work both Sabe and Bronx in classes 3 and 4 :p I'm aiming for Sabe to be in class 2 for as long as i can!

Hehe...Xena sounds pretty focused!

See you both tonight ;) (as long as i don't spring a leak since i just gave blood ;) )
