hortfurball Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Was linked on the FB post on WA Dog Shows. Here it is Probably wouldn't surprise anyone to hear that I know that great dane! :) (and his handler) Some of you showies might have seen Tiny at the shows too :) I think this Top Dog Downunder can only be a positive thing for the purebred world. Why not help promote purebreds in any way that we can! I think it's just for a bit of fun. Obviously the chi isn't going to beat the dane in strength, but it does in portability so by default, the show will highlight how different breeds are suited to different people. Dumb dogs take longer to learn and smart dogs are all good, but not everyone wants a dog that can outsmart them! :laugh: I met the perfect example of 'wrong fit' today. An older couple who are not very mobile (He's attached to an oxygen tank and she can't move far without a chair) and they have an older staffy (not a bad fit) and what appears to be a 15 month old chi x jack russell x ADHD child. Their DIL occasionally walks the chi/JR/devil dog, but it's basically going nuts with boredom and is bouncing off the walls so they muzzle it when they go out so it can't destroy anything in the house. The only exercise this girl gets is to play chasey with the staffy in a very small backyard. Thankfully the staffy is only too delighted to play! I'm only there to do some gardening but I've offered to teach the pup some basic tricks to keep her brain active, and show them how to continue with the training once she clicks into the 'training is GOOD' mindset. I'm also recommending brain testing dog toys, where they have to work to get their treat by figuring out how to twist and open the toy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptolomy Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Good luck to all those competing at the Classic over the weekend. May the rain gods look after us....let it rain during the day but be dry by night. It will be interesting to see how the new format for the obedience challenge goes this year with only 1 ring running at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogsfevr Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Hopefully not to many will be affected by the fires & the road closures tonight,a number of dog folk are up that way & been evacuated or can't get in or can't get out. A few dog people went bush walking last night to get home & another was allowed back in around 11 am . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
