superminty Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Um, as far as I know, there are ducks (or are they geese?) that live at KCC Park. The very reason why I don't obedience trial there. Too many yummy smells to bother about heeling Mum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwaY Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 The geese shit up the other end near the dam. This was i think 2 weeks back sat was agility sun was the show. They used ducks, some were penned uo, some in small off lead area, some over the rings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indi_dog Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Ah I see! We weren't with the ducks, I didn't realise the ducks lived there?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwaY Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Geese live there, not sure on ducks. These ducks were bought in for the day i think. A few people complained about the duck poo on the Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatevah Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 Might cause herding of ducks to be banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwaY Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Might cause herding of ducks to be banned. Then they should CLEAN UP there mess! I spent 10min clearing up ring7, 2 weeks back, And there was still more. Geese we can't control, they live there. These were bought onto the area.

superminty Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 A few people complained about the duck poo on the Sunday. Oh dear, poor things Well then, there goes duck herding I guess Sorry, can't get rid of the giggles. Not sure why the ducks needed to be penned where the rings are though, seems odd. Every time I've been to KCC there has been goose poo everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I've been to KCC there has been goose poo everywhere. Poor things, ducks carry diseases, there poo makes many dogs sick. I also don't want to be standing in it, slipping over on it, Or having my dog gait around the ring with it's head down, due to some some duck poo, some inconsiderate person has not cleaned up. I fillied up two pooper scooper loads, so were not talking only a little bit here. Iv'e never seen geese poo on the front grass where the rings are, Iv'e only ever seen it down the back on the grass near the dams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long have you been going to KCC? My last obedience trial was the state one last August and there was poo all over. How do they stop the geese coming up the front?

How long have you been going to KCC? My last obedience trial was the state one last August and there was poo all over. How do they stop the geese coming up the front? 10 months or so, before i got my dog. I don't think they stop them from coming up there, ive just never seen there poo or them up there. Maybe they don't like to go across the gravel car park? The geese we can't stop, i wouldn't like them to do it, But you can't stop them they live there. I would just clean it up. The ducks were bought in and used on the area, it should have been cleaned up afterwards. I also heard last week, someone put ducks in the small off lead area and left them there. Then went to the large off lead area to let there dogs run! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superminty Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Poor things, ducks carry diseases, there poo makes many dogs sick. Missed this point So are we putting our dogs at risk by working them on the ducks? Be assured, our dogs eat the poo too! Anyhoo - KCC is there for everyone and conditions can't be perfect for everyone all the time. I still don't know why ducks would be near the rings - they use the small offlead area for the herding and crate the remainder. Back to the topic - I don't think I'll make it to this day but maybe the next one. Keep posting details! Cheerio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed this point So are we putting our dogs at risk by working them on the ducks? Be assured, our dogs eat the poo too! I dont' know the risk, are these ducks tested? I assume the geese would be, being around the dogs on a regular basis etc. The complaint was more of the its' everywhere, they dogs just want to eat it, it makes them sick, There gaiting with there heads down etc trying to get at it. I saw 3 dogs all stop in the same place on the CC once around. After that a lady went in and scooped up the poo in that area i had missed. Anyhoo - KCC is there for everyone and conditions can't be perfect for everyone all the time. I still don't know why ducks would be near the rings - they use the small offlead area for the herding and crate the remainder. I agree can't always be perfect, but i do like your suggestion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
