ruthless Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) Oooh, Earthdog sounds AWESOME!!! From Wiki:An earthdog trial tests terriers who were bred to hunt vermin and other quarries who lived in dens for their working abilities and instinct. Earthdog den trials involve underground tunnels that dogs must negotiate, whilst scenting a rat, the "quarry." The dog must follow the scent to the quarry and then "work" the quarry. Depending on the sanctioning organization, “working” means barking, scratching, staring, pawing or such at it, although the quarry is protected at all times. The hunting encounter is controlled and neither dog nor quarry, a rat, are in any danger. Where can you do that? Anywhere in Sydney? ETA It seems my terriers are too big :D http://www.dogsnsw.org.au/earthdog Edited July 21, 2008 by ruthless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superminty Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Add herding to the list, if you have a dog that is an "apparent mix of herding breeds". Titles can be gained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eileen Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 What about the therapy dogs. Visiting nursing homes ect. Angel and Chopper would be so good at that. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthless Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) Are you taking the piss?!!! Have you forgotten the way they like to jump all over people and how Chopper has a licking obsession :D ;) Trixie'd be good, she's nice and calm. Gonna have to wait till she likes other dogs though! Ivan's probably too hairy :D Edited July 21, 2008 by ruthless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonElite Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Gonna have to wait till she likes other dogs though! Since when do they have other dogs at the nursing homes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthless Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 One of the criteria here is that your dog has to like other dogs. I guess maybe sometimes there'd be other therapy dogs in the vicinity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
