ness Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) Laff - man I guess I should feel honoured that she let me go stay with her for a fortnight and helped me train. Hmm maybe one of my girls can get a magic 200 one day . Edited July 18, 2009 by ness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptolomy Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Aw shucks - I am all embarressed now We did get his UD round on video and I actually think this was better than his open round - but the judge had a very sharp pencil Unfortunately Deb and I were in the ring at the same time so didn't get his open round We have had a rough few weeks with one of my dogs being very sick. So for Scoota to come out firing after travelling so far is a real bonus. Have to say a special thank you to Caffy who came to our rescue during the week and every email I have received from her in the past few days sent me a special reminder head, shoulders, hand and toes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ness Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Goodonya Caffy. The ever reliable Scoota came through again (as did the wonderful Brooklyn). Ptolomy and Deb are both such brilliant trainers and I have never seen the two of them flustered about anything. I marvel how Ptolomy can regularly have many red dogs entered on the one evening and she never seems to get flustered or she can go out and trial at big events and not appear nervous in the slightest. Man you guys are the epitomy of dog trainers (well I can think of a few others I would add to the list but they aren't reading this ) and I hope I can someday be as good a handler and trainer as you both are - still got some way to go mind you . You guys over in WA certainly know how to show the rest of Oz how good dogs can be when you only use positive training methods and hopefully the rest of Australia will take note.

ness Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Now if only we could lure them back to SA for another holiday - appears we don't have the same appeal factor as Brisbane - hmmmmmmmm will have to work on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ness Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Goodonya - nah stuff the shaping we will just resort to bribes . Although think its time caffy and a certain other WA person paid another visit cos I am desperately after a couple of agility passes and they seem to be the required good luck charm.

Big fat DITTO!! Couldn't have put it better myself. Before I knew you, Sandi, I remember seeing you work your beautiful dogs after my training class and being in complete awe. I would sit in my car about to leave training and just had to watch for a few more minutes I don't think I'll EVER get there, but you are my inspiration! WELL DONE!!!!!

ness Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) She sure is - she is my inspiration and keeps me on the straight and narrow when times are tough . She is also my inspiration to stick to my guns and not allow others to get to me and to not give the game away after a tough training session. I have said many times to Ptolomy privately how I would be lost without her so might as well express the same sentiments publically . After all you have been through these past couple of weeks the gods thought you were in need of a special treat and this is your just deserts for your hardwork and dedication to your dogs and for being such a genuine kind and caring person who no matter what life throws at you in the way of curve balls is never to busy to be there to help others. Oh shit this has turned sooky but sorry mate you deserve it. A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS and this one goes into the bragging books for eternity and beyond.
