RubyStar Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I hope you are right guys because sometimes it can be downright frustrating . My next is in 2 weeks Heaven help us all! Good luck Leopuppy - let us all know how you get on and I hope the seekback gods look after you ;) PS - Dare I ask is it another Aussie you are planning???? Of course Ptolomy. Is there any other breed I toyed with the BC idea for a little while, but I just love my aussies too much ;). Hmm... might even include a trip to WA.... We'll see :p Oh I will act like I got a perfect score if Leo finds his seekback. What colour?! and if it includes a trip to WA, can I puhleeeeeease meet puppy?! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Bit of a rant from me today! What do you all do when you see someone obviosuly doing the wrong thing with their dog? Using a tool incorrecty, smacking the dog in the face etc? If you've tried talking to them about it... Do you eventually give up and look the other way? Sometimes I just get so frustrated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyValley Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Well I have some semi-exciting news! Lincoln is going to his breeders next week and staying there till September and will hopefully be getting some hunting training ( ) he will be shown there and then they are driving him to the Adelaide Royal. Which is much less stressful then fly in Thursday night, show Friday. I am gonna miss him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just the answer - Strauss cuddles and a red dog to show instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubyStar Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Wow valley he will be gone for ages! You are going to miss him terribly and wonder what you've done! But it all sounds very exciting and a good opportunity for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranVT Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 *pokes head in* Hi all, thought I'd join in here. It's Luuka and my 3rd night of obedience tonight (first night was just hearing the rules lecture). Last week, she was so great, I was nearly teary The instructor came over to me while the rest of the dogs were being settled into their sits and said "I hope you are going to trial her, she is very focused on you and her movements are very precise. You're doing really well and you both look like you're having a lot of fun". :rofl: :D I couldn't have been happier. I even got to help a young boy in the class who was struggling with his dog :D I would really like to be a volunteer trainer there one day. Can't wait for tonight! So different to when I first started training with Atlas, I would dread it, then come home in tears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it all sounds very exciting and a good opportunity for him Yeah I think after a couple of days the house will be eeirely quiet without two boofhead boys running amock around the place. And Toby will be so bored. But it is a good opportunity or I wouldn't be sending him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptolomy Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Sounds like a plan How long till Strauss is out of quarantine? Are you going to show him as a baby? I love Baby class. Strauss is currently somewhere in the air between Frankfurt and Singapore. He arrives in Perth tomorrow arvo and then its 30 days in Quarantine. I don't usually show in baby class but happy to make an exception if somebody is sticking their hand up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So different to when I first started training with Atlas, I would dread it, then come home in tears :D :rolleyes: :D I am in a similar boat. Going to obedience classes with Satchmo wasn't much fun at all, and it is sooo different and nice having a dog that wants to work with you (although I wouldn't change Satchy for the world, he is damn stubborn! ) How old is Luuka now?

FranVT Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Thanks guys! She just turned 9 months on Sunday. I have started a blog for her, just about to do an update about last week :D But I really want to have a record of her achievements which I am sure will be awesome She is so clever and funny and friendly and happy, I couldn't be happier with my decision to get a lappie, and from the particular breeder I chose :rolleyes: She is very supportive of my decision to not show and do obedience/agility instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff'n'Toller Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I wish you Lappie owners would stop talking about how awesome Lappie's are! :D I want 2 dogs that match for a change and there's all these Aussie and Lappie owners raving about their breed on dol!!! Lol. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) Yay so glad to see you here Fran! You must post some videos of Luuka :rolleyes: StaffnToller I really want matching dogs too, I am thinking of getting another dog next year but can't decide on another beagle or a more people orientated/drivier breed. I really really want to see what it would be like to train a beag from puppy hood the way I train Daisy now, I must admit I love having a breed where people don't expect them to be any good or to be able to do dog sports at a competitive level. Although when I get to handle breeds that are more people orientated or more naturally inclined to train like Tollers or Aussies I do get a little jealous!
