Hopefully one day I will get to see you guys dance in person :) I am working on getting the video up on YouTube - though a bit was missed because the person manning the camera was so busy watching they forgot to move the camera. Two days on and she is still smiling like an idiot.

Thank goodness there was not a trial on when we got married

Thanks for the pics BC4ME - nice to know that Ebony sometimes looks at me - when I am out there it feels like she is looking everywhere else. Thanks Steve for the weekend - some great information and I loved watching all the dogs working so well. As ever I feel all inspired to do some training - but I am sure if I lie down the feeling will pass Cheers, DagBoy

It would be horrible for you to be the only person there with scruffy dogs, so as a kindness to you, and at great personal sacrifice, I have decided that maybe I will not get up early tomorrow to bath all of ours, but let them stay dirty instead.

What is this "training" thing of which you speak?

Bugger the sage smudge stick, I have told MrsD that we need to get some Old Spice. Look at your dog, look at me, look at your dog, look at me ... I am on a horse

I had a good time too last night - in spite of meeting a couple of scary DOLers ;) Cheers, DagBoy

And we are hoping we can get one of the breed clubs to run a sausage sizzle for us so people coming straight from work do not starve.

It is being held inside the CCCQ buildings at Durack, so no dogs allowed (except possibly Richard will have a borrowed dog to work with). As far as I know, he will be talking a lot (he is good at that) and also illustrating some things with some video footage. Cheers, DagBoy

But it does not have to be glitzy - it just has to suit the music/routine. If glitzy was a requirement I do not think any of us would be even thinking about it. ;) . Cheers, DagBoy

You better visit me or there will be trouble! Where do you think we were planning to park our caravan?

It took a little time, but I have finally got video from the DWD competition up on Youtube. Tuesday 11 August, DWD Freestyle - Started Sharon and Murphy Cheryl and Prize Sharon and Cian Lisa and Cass Maree and Chook Sharon and Casey Tuesday 11 August, DWD Heelwork to Music - Started Sharon and Cian Lisa and Cass Sharon and Casey Friday 14 August, DWD Freestyle - Novice Ros and Banjo Gay and Gemma Robyn and Jarrah Angie and Inka Robyn and Max Val and Whizz Friday 14 August, DWD Heelwork to Music - Novice Gay and Gemma Angie and Inka Cheers, DagBoy (edited to remove dead links.)

I plan to video it and if I can manage to stop the video battery going flat half way (like last year ) and if I can get my computer working again soon, I will be putting it up on Youtube. I will be trying to get all the performances if I can. Cheers, DagBoy

Richard Curtis has 3 or 4 DVDs plus a book on how to teach your dog some of the freestyle moves & he is absolutely awesome, both as a teacher & as a competitor. I love his teaching style & thoroughly recommend them :rolleyes: . If you do a google search on his name you will find his website (K9 something). (MrsD posting as Dagboy because I can't be bothered to log out & log in again on Dagboy's laptop)

It is just over the border, but I am pretty sure they run on Qld time - none of that poncy southern daylight saving. Google maps - just type in Coolangatta, then scroll down and left to see where the Tugun bypass crosses Kennedy Drive. Cheers, DagBoy
