mirawee Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Well done Weasels with your herding titles Sounds like a good day at retrieving training as well :) I had a great day at the horse show yesterday and Jive got to come up later in the day with my Mum and she was a very good girl and had several people comment on that fact :D We have discovered she is racist though She barked and growled at the grey ponies but not the other ones! In the end I picked her up and went and pat a friend's little grey pony and then she got over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beezneez Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Hi All, I am just wondering if anybody knows any nice spots for me to take my 10 month old border collie for a good run around. I'm looking for somewhere very quiet (as she does she some fear aggression towards dog). A lake, or natural land open area? I have my regular spot, but was wondering if there were any others around. I am in the Northern Suburbs. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason_Gibbs Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Cant think of anywhere where there are no other dogs. I take mine in the forest just off Drumpelier drive in Ellenbrook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Rosie has been 110% sound whilst she has been on confinement and on the anti inflammatories. Although my husband let her out the back whilst preparing to take her for a walk and seh spotted a bird, zoomed off and jumped off the wall. It has not affected her though, well not that i can see! I have a feeling it is the twisting more than the downward impact that causes the problem - or exacerbates it. Hence the refusal to do weave poles and the fact i can make her limp with 5 retrieves of a bouncy ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Aww good to hear Rosie is doing a bit better now, and all the other broken DOL dogs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Looking forward to seeing CC's pics from herding yesterday :D It was a good day out, and the kelpies got titles to boot! Congratulations Weasels :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RosieFT Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Aww good to hear Rosie is doing a bit better now, and all the other broken DOL dogs! It is so nice to see a level, reaching, long 'trot' stride when i walk her. :) Admittedly, this is usually only seen on the way home, the way out is more of a sproingy, correct, sproing, correct, canter on the spot, correct, ..... you get the picture. My husband said she was actually leaping and spinning in the air when he walked her on the weekend. LOL, she doesn't dare do that with me though. Same as my dad always asks how you get her to walk on four legs...... hmmmmmmmm I don't have that particular problem either... Is your head fitting through doorways yet? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That dog is a National champion???" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emery Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 That reminds me agility people if i bring chandra down can i get her measured? i had a judge tell me she was below standard so i want her measured to see if she is within the breed standard?

pie Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 :D yeah, just imagine those other dogs she beat!! I'm sure they were all thinking that on the day too "How did we get beaten by that puny sissy looking thing??" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Good to hear all the other "lame" DOL dogs are doing ok. Kenz's road to recovery has been a little rocky but we are still madly hoping another 6 week sees the back of all her lameness episodes. She had her follow up appointment with the specialist last Friday which wasn't completely good news. She had a physio appointment yesterday who is less concerned about the current equation and who has said with that level of muscle wastage she would be expected to still be having problems as there is no support to keep things where they should. So the next 6 weeks are time for serious muscle rebuilding and fingers crossed we are over the worst of things. And the good news Kenz is allowed to "roam" around the house . Hmmm until I reminded the specialist she isn't the sweet, quiet well behaved dog he gets to see in the consult room. Still she is allowed more freedom at home but is still not allowed to be stupid.

pie Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 No she looked puny and sissy next to all those border collies and shelties in the class :laugh: They were massive! And she was cold so looked particularly pathetic most of the time :laugh: There was an italian greyhound though so she wasn't the puniest sissiest looking I guess :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry it wasn't all good news. I don't know how you have done all this confinement for so long. We are into week 3 with Rosie and I am already thinking I will do the 5 weeks of the '5 to 6 weeks' recommended LOL. I think in the end, I am concerned about the potential for stupidity if i leave her too long. Hope Kenz enjoys her roaming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Kenz did 6 weeks of fairly strict rest. Becomes a way of life. We have been out this morning and for the first time in ages she was allowed to walk inside from the car off-lead and not carried in to the house. She has been allowed to walk a little in the house but only on a short lead and no more then necessary. She trotted in to the house and went straight out to the back room to put herself away in the crate :laugh:. She is upstairs with me at the moment and has put herself away in her upstairs crate. I guess that part hasn't changed. After 3-4 weeks I wasn't even bothering closing the crate up unless I left the room as she knew the drill. . I only really have to be careful about making sure I carry her up and down the stair case and that she doesn't go chasing things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
