Leah82 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Who's going and how will we recognise you? http://www.dogsvictoria.org.au/GetInvolved/BigDayOutforDogs.aspx and if anyone wants to organise a meeting point at a particular time feel free. I've not been before so I'll leave that to someone more experienced. So how will you recognise me? I think my dogs are pretty recognisable but specifically look for the liver roan cocker spaniel who's confidence outweighs his ability to see and therefore avoid things (with or without santa costume) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentchild Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I am going, but possibly without the dog as last year I took her, and it was just way too crowded and we all got a bit overwhelmed. So might leave her home this time and just buy back lots of goodies for her to make up for it. How to recognize me? I will likely be the only asian wearing an Aussie Shepherd Club of Vic t-shirt. :laugh: Always happy for DOLers to say hi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take our idiots too, you will know us by the almost unbearably excited Flat Coat and the totally unenthused boyfriend. Perhaps we should organise a spot to meet or we could have a DOL picnic lunch! Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airedaler Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I'll be there too. I'm the fat old lady with a 12 week old Airedale puppy. Well I hope to have the puppy but will depend on when she has her vaccinations. I will be at the ATCV display pretty much all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazyWal Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Oh wow it looks great and I just googled it only 40 mins from me Not sure if I would take the greys, still not keen on risking a random off lead attacker I'm afraid but I might just come and have a look myself. I wonder if there is a greyhound stand there? :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebanne Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 hmm I might have to think about this, I have the weekend off. Will depend on the weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if there is a greyhound stand there? :/ Hazy last time we went everyone was impeccably behaved! I was super impressed! Would be lovely to see everyone! PS I hope there's a Grey stand too! I know there is lure coursing too. Edited November 30, 2014 by Steph M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megan_ Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 The last time I went (a few years ago) there was a man with a few giant Amstaff's who kept on dropping their leads - they were almost pulling him over. He seemed to think it was funny and took no action to control them. They were very, very hyped up on the lure coursing and we had a close call. It's why I don't go any more .

silentchild Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Can anyone just rock up and have a go at the lure coursing? I tried emailing the club that organizes it if we need to book for it but never got a reply. I might bring my girl if she could have a go, have always been interested to try..

That's what we do usually? I think it's a membership fee of like 7-14 bucks if you aren't a dogs vic member, from memory and like $2 a go. It's really good fun, even if they totally flop like Rosie everyone has a laugh, the operator guys are really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentchild Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Thanks StephM, will have to seriously consider bringing Breeze along now. :) I'm a Dogs Vic member. Do you know where it is usually held? Is it in the off-leash areas? I couldn't find them last year when I was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph M Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Bump! Any other Melbourne people making an appearance? :) Sorry SC, No idea where but I'm sure there's someone to ask on the day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpette Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 SC it is usually in the large off lead yard where A course herding is held. You pay $2 and get a raffle ticket to show your position in the queue. It is run by the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club. Zeph and I will be there, as we have the Rotty Christmas party and the Newfie Christmas party to go to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentchild Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Got it, thanks grumpette! Would love to have Zephy cuddles again! I'm still on the fence about bringing Breeze. Already it is looking to be very crowded. I guess I will just decide on the day, LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah82 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 So if people want to say hi how does outside the lure coursing area at 1pm sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph M Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I like the sound of that! I will be the hungover idiot with the hyper black dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazyWal Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I'll be going tomorrow, still not sure if I'll bring the dogs. We were going to go to Altona for a greyhound walk but it's going to be way too hot and it doesn't start until 2pm. If I have the dogs with me they'll be wearing their "naughty or nice" Xmas shirts and I'm the chubby one in the Greyhound Haven Tasmania t-shirt :laugh: Hope to meet some Dolers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
