CrazyCresties Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Uh-oh bad Jive! :laugh: Coco is gorgeous Feebeez (Pheobe was the name of one of my groomers GSPs and she is the same colour as Coco) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Hi everyone, we are rather impatiently waiting for our puppy (a GSP) to arrive ... only 14 days to go. I am trying to work out from the DogsWest schedule if there is anything on this weekend that we can go and watch. I *think* there is a retrieving event on, but I don't think it is at Dogs West, and I can't work out where it is happening. We're very interesting in going to watch. Can anyone give me any details about it? Thanks :) Feebeez - if you want to see some GSPs doing something different, come and have a look at the WA Sleddog Sports Assoc race in Gnangara on the 26th/27th May. If you google WASSA you will see details closer to the date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Tubmleweed, we do intend coming to see some sledding, just haven't managed to get there yet (the kids will keep getting birthday invitations that clash!) If you are into sledding then you would know Coco's Mum & Dad (Axel and Coda, owned by Michelle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feebeez Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Hi Feebeez - is that one of Koda and Axle's puppies? I know them from dog sledding and they are beautiful dogs! Enjoy your new pup She sure is! LOL ... I should have read all of the posts before I started replying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feebeez Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Feebeez, Coco is lovely! Anyone feeling puppy clucky and wants a cure? We have entered the eating everything (including me...) stage So far we have lost one charger cord (which was charging my phone at the time and she barely had time to even grab it! And unfortunately she is the first puppy to have decided that the old rocking horse was edible Course Mum came and told me when I was clipping a horse that she had started chewing it, I asked if she had moved it and was told no but she would go and do so soon... Fast forward to me finishing clipping the horse and we now have a very nice deglove of a hind leg. I removed said rocking pony from said puppy's reach! Oh dear! How old is your bundle of terror?

mirawee Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 OK since everyone is being so quiet on here I thought I would start a discussion What would you do in following situation... I need to transport 3 dogs to a show on the weekend, two adults who usually sit on the back seat and a puppy who at the moment travels in a crate (which is currently set up on the back seat ) Car is a 4WD but I also need to take 2 other crates and the rest of the showing gear with me. The drive takes just under an hour. Options are: 1) Keep crate on back seat and try and set up the very back so the adult dogs can sit there on top of the other crates and gear. 2) See if crate for puppy can fit into the back on top of the other crates and have adult dogs on the back seat - in which case the pup won't be visible to the human passengers 3) As for 2 but have the back seats folded down - which could cause a problem with securing gear. 3) Use dog trailer and put adult dogs in there 4) Use dog trailer and put crates and other gear in there with the dogs riding in the car 5) Have all three dogs on the back seat with puppy out of the crate 6) Have adult dogs on the back seat and puppy on the front seat in the passengers lap :lol: So, which would you choose and why? It wouldn't have been an issue except Banjo is now coming down as well to do some jumping training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could the extra gear go in the footwells of the back seats with the (collapsed) crates on their edges, leaning up against the front seats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mim Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Are the dogs harnessed in the backseat? If not, perhaps they could all be in the backseat with the puppy harnessed so she can't get into trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyTansy Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I'd do the trailer on this occasion - just seems easier :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lab_Rat Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 I'd stay home M, sounds far too complicated ;) How's the baby going?? I got to snuggle a whole nest of kelpie pups on Saturday.... 3 week olds at the trials we went to over at Arthur River. What a top day!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went the past 2 years but didn't go this year Why were there kelpie pups at a gundog affair? :p mirawee, I'd have all dogs, pup included, harnessed on the backseat and all crates folded away safely in the back!

Ptolomy Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Have some Swedish toller breeders staying with me at the moment - they have had a hand in every one of my kids - so lovely to hear about grandparents, GG parents and even further back. I don't want them to go home. Was also lucky enough to have coffee with Steve Hooker and to actually get to hold his Olympic medal - I felt like a BIG kid Cider has just over a week to go - unfortunately nobody has told her she is pregnant - she is still as crazy as ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lab_Rat Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 RubyStar..... Bizarrely enough it was Sheepdog trials!!! I didn't realise there were gundog trials on the same weekend & place! That's why there were Kelpies.....LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 yes that would explain why Yeah there were retrieving trials over the Easter long weekend in Arthur River. Now that you mention it, a woman at agility who also does herding has mentioned the trials out the same way, before. Just didn't realise they were held about the same time!

Hope the final week and a bit goes well and she has a smooth whelping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
