Lab_Rat Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) So...............I thought I may as well start the thread and we can see how it goes and how long it takes to get lost in the ether :D I dont actually have any news as such, but Im sure others do............. My only exciting news is that the company I work for is actually shutting down for TWO weeks over Christmas and New Year. I am so looking forward to having a little break. Not going anywhere, but just being home will be nice! I may also be going to the Cannington Greyhounds in a couple of weeks for our dog club Christmas "do"! Ive always wanted to go!

Tatelina Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Um..should this be in Off Topic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longclaw Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Have fun at the greyhounds... take a retiree home with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lab_Rat Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 Um..should this be in Off Topic? No..........this is for WA based doggy stuff - as it was decided that having state threads was a bit excess. Its a follow on from a thread we had in the show section Thanks Longclaw - dont worry, Ive been eyeing off greys as our next big dogs for a while!

2SBT's Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 good idea Lab Rat I am from W.A aswell, but don't have any news either. Will keep checking in tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Rules Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 No news here either We close for 2 weeks over Xmas too - from the 18th which means we are back straight after New Year :D but I might take an extra week off I'm sure it will be hot so will have a few trips to the dog beach!

RallyValley Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Yay WA Is that Seadogs Breakfast thing this weekend? Or next? I think it's good to have a WA thread for all our results/ dog news.. The 'dog' community of WA isn't very big so most people here participate in multiple sports and showing so it will be nice to have a place to all keep track of each other and ask state related questions. I have one that seems too stupid to start a topic for too.. Is the Western Classic a show that you have to qualify for? Is thier any other shows you have to qualify for? (Just doing my calender for next year and working out when I can show) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Rules Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Salty Seadogs Breakfast is next week (Sunday 29th Nov) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendall Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 fellow WAer here Valleywa - you can just enter the classic, you don't need to qualify enter early so you get the cheaper price. reminds me that I need to do mine Will see you there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RallyValley Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Will it be a big mistake going to Western Classic for my second show and without having had many (if any since pup will be just over 3 months) formal show lessons prior? I am scared since it will be the first time a few people have seen the beed showing for a while I might embarass the whole breed! Also do many people go down to the Geraldton/Albany and Bunbury shows in Febuary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest belgian.blue Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Salty Seadogs Breakfast is next week (Sunday 29th Nov) Hands up who is attending? Ivy and I most likely will, no other plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be interested in the Bunbury show!? Where do I find more info? Are well behaved non-showing dogs allowed to attend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyValley Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Well Lincoln will be 12 weeks on Febuary 3 so hopefully I will be eligable, the shows I am referring to is on the 7th of Febuary and it is an open show. Thier is also a show in Albany the next weekend. How far ia Albany from Bunbury? (Or Dunsbrough if you know... am evily plotting to spend a whole week down south staying with cousins and aunties ) Also do many people go down to the Geraldton/Albany and Bunbury shows in Febuary?

OSoSwift Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Hello fellow West Aussies I haven't shown or trialled for a while, but do love to keep up with what is going on! I think Albany is just over a 100kms from Bunbury, but your best friend will be Googles maps in this case. More bloody lightening! I will be off line shortly - I am sure we will have no power again tonight! Last time the power pole got a direct hit from lightening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lab_Rat Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 Cool, two pages already! Welcome Sandgropers!! Valley - the Western Classics are great shows to enter - lots of stuff happening over a short period of time!! It was one of the first weekends I entered my girl into when I was showing her! Its a great busy weekend. Roughly measured (with my pinkie in the phone book ) Albany is about 300ks from Bunbury, depending on which road you go I think. Coast or Inland. Both are nice drives! Belgian - well behaved, non showing dogs are welcome to dog shows! Good luck with the storms RnL! Im over thunder and lightning already.....

RallyValley Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Hmmmm RnL I might have to do it if you can visit so that you can meet my Chessie boy like you said you wanted too.. I was thinking it would be quicker to travel to Albany from Bunbury but apparently (source: my dad ) it's not that much difference from Albany to Perth.
