Gemelo Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Im at Kurri and Sammy is at Cessnock so its a fair drive for us too.. maybe we could meet somewhere further towards the middle for all of us.. although not sure where that would be. We definately need to meet up again Once the pups are big enough to come out to play. Pooey I dont do Saturday shows as I work, Hillsborough was an exception due to the baby shower.

-Megz- Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I would say at least 12 weeks Erin, after the last shots etc. Doesn't stop you from doing some lead work at home, the babies usually have collars on from young ages to get them used to having something around their neck, and when we are home put a lead on them and let it drag behind them, pick it up every now and then and call them and make them fun to follow you while you hold it. Simple, fun stuff to start off with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemelo Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Yep I doubt I'll make it either on Tuesday, Im working until 3 but its Andys birthday and he still has no idea what he's doing for it.. If its nothing then Im going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asalei Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) She's already pretty good on a lead. I started off with a material collar and put a thin check chain on her today. She trots along lovely on a lead without a worry about it being there. Although, she does try and grab it to put in her mouth and walk along. I'll be buying a proper show chain and lead this weekend when we head to Durack. I might just start doing some proper lessons with the breeder and hope she'll be good in the ring for her first show!

RallyValley Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Same thing here Erin.. but when he has it in his mouth he holds his head up and runs really proud (contemplating an invisible lead...) It's extremely cute, but I've been told I'm not allowed to let her do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Megz- Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 That's just a puppy thing. At my last show Ben the Beagle decided to be a poo head for me, basically he wanted to show on a full loose lead and I had it a little too tight for him so he crabbed. He was fine after the first time around though when I worked it out, just got to work out what they like. Took my old Beagle for a walk yesterday and at 12 he still struts around with his head up and tail wagging like in the show ring. Very cute.

GoldenWei Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Well guys, I met my little girl today, gave her some big cuddles... she is wonderfully outgoing, very inquisitive and I think she is going to be a terror lol. So, she'll be definately coming here on Thursday, I pick her up at 10am. For those that haven't stalked, lol. I am getting a LH Weimaraner.

GoldenWei Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Forgot to ask, poocow, is show training on Wed or have they stopped for summer? I may bring Phoenix this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freckles Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 GoldieGirl, Luci started up her classes from last Week. So you would be set to come and check it out this week before your pup arrives if you so wish. Luci encourages newbies using a non show dog to get used to rather than confussing a brand new show pup while you sort yourself out first. She also encourages pups coming as soon as you can even just to socialize. So it's up to how you feel about bringing a young dog out. We see 9-10 week old pups turning up a lot lately who just sit ring side to get a feel of being around a group of all sorts of different breeds. Oh and congrats on your new pup. I hope to see you out at Lucis as Poocow and I go together with our dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenWei Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 cool, thanks Freckles... I may just do that. Would a normal lead and collar be fine, or would I need a show lead etc for Phoenix? He's a 3 year old golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freckles Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 if he is well behaved and you can conroll him on a normal collar, by all means it is fine. While you are learning it shouldn't matter what the lead looks like. You just need control of the dog so you can concerntrate on what YOU should be doing.

poocow Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 We will be there on Wednesday ;) it's $11 and goes from 7:30 until about 9ish with a tea break in the middle. Either his own collar or a light chain would be fine as long as you're in control. Morgie is the welcome dog for a lot of new pups as she's so gentle. Last week there was a GSD pup she got to say hello to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
