  1. They become Emeritus professors. The bane of many University IT staff.
  2. LOL - Jadir is the decoy - it's Faxon you really need to watch out for. I'd believe it but it is hard to take blondes as seriously. ;) Did 'Ghans have a guarding role in their villages Bear? Faxon is the black one! ;) Depends what you want to believe. There is the legend about Afghan hounds guarding a British outpost in Afghanistan in the 19th century. Apparentlyy they patrolled in pairs with no human intervention.
  3. I don't find "shy" any less easy to swallow. "Reserved" on the other hand.. Or "couldn't give a sh!t about things I'm not bred for" Which manifests in some sighthounds as "couldn't give a shit about making nice with strangers". I dont know about all Sighthounds but I can tell you that there's no way known I'd be on SSM's property if there was no one home and Jadir was on patrol. Some sighthounds (not necessarily Salukis) have performed guarding functions over the years (hello Azawakhs) and anyone concluding that all sighthounds aren't protective could be in for a bit of a shock.. a 50kph or more closing fast shock ;) LOL - Jadir is the decoy - it's Faxon you really need to watch out for.
  4. Tissue warning!!!!! http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/heavy_petting/2011/09/the_perfect_day.html
  5. As long as your pup is well behaved, on a leash and not getting in the way there is probably no problem. BUT..... you knew there was a but didn't you? If this is the first show you have been to, then you may want to leave her at home this time. If you are going to get a feel for what happens at a show it is probably better not to have your pup because then you can concentrate on what's going on without having to worry about your pup. HTH Bear.

Cost about $2,000 including freight and GST. Good luck with getting lure coursing set up in SA. I really hope it works. I would really like to see Lure Coursing recognised by ANKC. So the more people doing it the better.

  11. That happened to me as well except the treats were in my pocket. Fortunately the handler was must understanding when I explained I was an obedience instructor. The beagle kept coming back to me for treats.
  12. Yup for the 3rd. If the show is over a weekend eg Saturday 3rd, Sunday 4th then you would enter her in different classes.
  13. Keshwar is the middle name of the Afghan woman Meena Kamal, who founded RAWA Meena Meena was the founding leader of RAWA (Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan), an organization that captured people's attention with their highly publicized criticism of the Taliban's mistreatment of Afghan women. Meena also founded a bilingual magazine (Payam-e Zan) which publishes articles on different political and social matters affecting Afghan women. RAWA claims that she was killed on February 4,1987 by KHAD agents working with Hekmatyar's group, Hezb-e Islami. RAWA wishes to establish a secular government in Afghanistan.

  14. Just to save people some time - none of the Caravan/cabin parks will allow dogs inside the cabins. Even in crates.
  15. In the New national body thread people have said they would like to see changes to the ANKC. What changes would you like to see made? Here's some I would like to see. I would like to see consistent rules/regs nationally. I would like to see one national body with offices in each state and territory. So no dogsnsw, dogact, dogsvic etc just the ANKC. Elected representatives on the governing body board from each state/territory. Reps elected by all members in each state/territory.
  16. Isn't this what MDBA are doing? No I don't feel the need for another National body. I do think the ANKC could do with some improvement tho'.

  18. I used to do this but some people took it as a cue to run up my dogs bum. After listening to some advise from more experienced exhibitors - ;) - I stopped asking.
  19. What CC said. plus when they win they thank the Judge and notice if the Judge is wanting to shake their hand or give them a ribbon/sash etc.
  20. I reckon curling up with a heat pack and a large brandy will fix everything! Hope you heal quickly and are back out n' about the hound ring soon!
  21. What's your email addy Jan? I PM'd you about a spot for a friend and I - did you get it? +1 requiring e-mail address!
