I've never been to the dog trial in Geraldton - I'm assuming the show and trials are all on the same ground? Has anyone camped there before?

Plenty camp there especially now its harder to find accommodation.

The 2 events are next door to each other but separate sections .

Im staying home this show things to do at home & quality with my very old boy

Ive just joined Midland, they do obedience for all levels, Rally o, dancing with dogs, and Agility. Training is on a Tuesday night, its a lovely club, not too big, & the instructors are awesome. :)

Is the agility on Tuesday nights as well? I am tempted to rejoin Midland rather than going to ACWA :o

THe rally o class starts at 7pm on a Tuesday night, I think Paul Skewes (their vice president) takes it, but Im not 100% sure. They had a lot of people doing it last week, it looks great. I have Pauls phone no if you want to have a chat with him about it :)

Why aren't they doing it on the weekend when people can actually get down to look - and when it won't be so cold? I don't even get home from work until 6.30pm if I leave at my "official" time :laugh:

What a fantastic day wish the weather was like this all year round thumbsup1.gif

Babies had their first official visitors today - a family who will be taking home one of the ginger ninjas. The two kids aged 9 and 6 were fantastic. They were only told this morning that they were getting a puppy. I was very impressed. Later we all went outside and the human kids threw balls for all the big kids - it was terrific to see a family having so much fun and the dogs enjoyed every minute of it. I am looking forward to seeing them again in 2 weeks time and I will sleep well tonight knowing that the baby will be going to a really good home biggrin.gif

Oh that's not too bad if you get that amount of time and discount is offered. I might come down dogless and watch for a bit and see if it is something i want to pursue :D

:thumbsup: :)

I think last year they had some 'come & try' days at Bedfordale, I'll find out if there are any of those coming up and let you know :)

That would be awesome Thankyou :)

Emery the trial tomorrow & on the 23rd June at Bedfordale are open to spectators, I will try to find out if the trial next month has an open day for doggies to try too (there seems to be some confusion :))

Great news Ptolomy :) do they know which one they will be taking home yet? I saw Mason at 1 week old and Gibbs i met at 3 weeks, meeting the litters at such a young age i will never forget both those moments :) happiest times of my life i think besides bringing them home

They will get one of the three - I did say today that I was 99% sure that they wouldn't get the boy - he needs an experienced handler otherwise the house is going to be ruled by a red dog with a white tail tip. They also know that I wont be testing the kids until they are 7 weeks and 4 days old - so until I decided which one is staying, they wont know which one they are getting - but they are cool with this. If its a girl they had always planned to call her Sandy banana.gif
