Starkehre Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Hi all, once again hoping someone out there might be able to assist. I could have sworn I had a small pile of title application forms here at home, and I want to fill one in right now for postal or handing in on Monday morning.... but I have looked where I thought they were, and they are not there. Does anyone know how I can get hold of at least one, perhaps via printing off the computer or something. I checked the VCA website, and it is not listed as one of their printable forms. Any suggestions please? Even if it possible to use a copy, could someone please email me one? PM me for my email addy if anyone can help. Much appreciated.

Starkehre Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 Thank you Kynan. Yes, that is it. I didn't look properly through those damned forms did I. Typical of me, just skimmed the list and didn't take the time to check more thoroughly. Thank you so much and have a lovely weekend. properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tassie Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 And Dyzney - should you have a brag on here somewhere? Did I miss it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkehre Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) Know what you mean Jules. I just skimmed over the 4 initial forms icons, and didn't even realise there were a plethera of them inside each one. So typical of me. I hate taking my time over things, when it comes to reading stuff on computers. :D ;) :D You didn't miss it Tassie, I didn't post a brag, but my Rotti friends have posted congrats in the Rotti thread. I am tickled pink about my nearly 7 year old Rotti Dyzney just achieving her 7th title in 4 different disciplines. It was a CCD title, so not a huge big deal, but just knowing what my girl has been through makes it a big deal for us. Funny how we waited so long to start her obedience, but we lost 18 months with her being unwell and convalescing. My same girl that nearly passed away 2 years ago, but we nursed her back to health, and she is out and about again, having a ball. I retired her after she got well, just so appreciative she was alive and still with us, but Dyzney got bored not doing sports, so here we are, at it again. She has such an amazing mind, gentle temperament and willingness to please it brings a tear to my eye nearly every time I think of her. Oh dear, I am welling up again I just love her so much. I am so proud of her. Now, with her new found passion for herding, if I can keep her slightly softening body together for another while, she will probably get a herding title also. Thanks guys, and have a lovely day. Edited March 20, 2010 by dyzney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tassie Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Oh, I do like the way she's looking up at you in those pics - very nice bond you have there. And the losing 10kg is a good brag too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkehre Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Thank you Tassie. Our heeling still has quite a way to go. She is all over the shop, and drops out of focus a lot, especially as soon as the lead comes off , so Novice should be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huski Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 No looking at one in May but will see how we go. I need to fix my handling skills first My nerves are terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkehre Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Great, May is not far away. You know what, sometimes, you have to just bite the bullet and go for it. Cause you know what, you may not improve a whole heap more now until you get some ring experience. And the nerves will not improve with practise. I still get nervous each time I go in the ring. It takes many many trials for them to go. a small amount of nerves is good anyway I reckon :p You could keep training for years and still think you aren't quite up to the standard that you would like to be, but I reckon, just go for it. It just gets to the point where ring experience is required. Don't get caught up being a perfectionist like I am , I set myself up to fail every time :D I handled on Saturday like a complete imbicile. I felt it, but I could not seem to do anything about it. My nerves just control my legs, and I nearly lose the plot, but I still got through on a good score. Daisy knows the work, you should trust the wonderful work you have done with her, and know that it will all fall into place. I have faith in you. I have followed what you have done over the time, and IMO you should just go for it girl. Go on, pull out your form and fill it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huski Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Well I was naughty tonight, I procrastinated by buying some some scent discrimination articles - don't think we use those in CCD oops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I remember having to go into the ring at the Darwin Royal for my last CD pass. I was soo nervous and my dog would look at me like I had grown two heads!!! Her breeder made me a "drink" before I went in to steady my nerves - we it nearly blew them away!! I think the last minute of her down stay I didn't breathe and they told me they could see my knees shaking from the other side of the ring! But she passed, got her title and Highest in Trial. So it can be done even with the worst ring nerves ever. I am shocking for it and never really improve! Go for it Huski if I can do it and not pass out you can!

Starkehre Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Great story RnL. Absolutely, nearly every pass I have obtained over the years, has been with nerves. And I have seen many of the best handlers turn feral in the ring with nerves. Happens to heaps of people. Huski, I don't necessarily think buying articles and training with them is bad. I generally have my dogs ready to compete right through to Open before I even start. My Dyzney can do all the exercises up to a high level, if not for our heeling Plus it breaks up the boredom.
