It has to be 3 calender months. Eg. A puppy born on the 7th June, 2010 can be entered in its first show on the 7th September, 2010.

Good luck with your new baby!

ETA: you beat me to it oakway!

It's not just for members. I have just gone into the show and trial guide and did not need any membership details. There will be shows on most weekends, and at most All Breeds shows there will be Sibes entered.

I have attached the show and trial guide that you can download from Dogs NSW.

In NSW as far as I am aware, you must have the registration number. If I was you, I would ring the show secretary and find out. They might be happy for you to enter and then ring the ASAP when you get the papers back. You may also find you can enter the show on OzEntries in which you might have more time as they seem to close later. Good luck.

Great day for WD's. Do you know who the Corgi and Aussie were? Ta

Thanks!

Well done to all those who had a successful weekend. Can anyone tell me what the numbers were in the whole show?

You get them from Great Rugs. They are at many shows in NSW particulary Newcastle and Sydney area. Website is: http://www.greatrugs.com.au/

Best in Show: Afghan - Aust Grand Ch Gengala Super Trooper (ai) (Hickie)

Runner up Best in Show: Bearded Collie - Aust Grand Ch Llandtree Newell Glenn (Brooks)

Just wondering if I should contact the show secretary in regards to a show we attended. Not that it will change anything for that show but for future reference.

We came 2nd in Intermediate dog class. In the Dog Challenge line up, challenge was awarded to the Intermediate dog and although I was stood ringside and ready to enter, the judge awarded Res challenge straight away, without giving the steward time to call us in. I was told by another exhibitor that she had done the same thing to another breed earlier on.

Should I contact them for their future reference.

In future, speak up. Tell the steward and I am sure the judge will wait. I think there is no point doing anything now, next time do it on the day. It's a bugger, but to late to change it now.

Hi guys... I have had the same problem. Bought the stuff and opened it up and it is a green crystal mixture that mixes up like the wet sand/dirt, and I really think it made my dog more dirty after using it. Any ideas?

And a huge congrats to Natasha our Aussie handler for making it into the final 8! Well done!

Oh thanks guys, but if you had not put in the work Dotty, it would not have happened. Well done again! Hopefully see you soon.

Who's the class in show winner? Oh thats right its Peach! Still cant wipe the stupid smile from my face

Hopefully the rain clears up! Dog doesnt mind the rain but I do!

You keep that smile on your face for as long as you can girl. You deserve to after such a fantastic win. Must have been the great grooming and show training from mwah!!! It's ok, I am joking, you are doing a fantastic job with her!

Does anyone know the other class in show winners? Congrats to all the winners.

I know how you feel. I hate that feeling of not wanting to bath, but knowing that if I want to go to the show it has to happen! It is so nice just showing one dog, so much easier bathing and grooming one. Be warned, from memory, there is not alot of set up room at the showgrounds tomorrow.

I have to agree with gareth and -megz- on this one. I think that rare breeds do get looked at and awarded, some quite frequently. All depends on the day, judge, dog... etc.

I have heard that there have been dramatic improvements to the dog rings at Maitland Showground.

Am still undecided if I'll show moo or not.

Why are you not showing her Poocow?

Australian Grand Champion/ American Champion Sugargum Top Shelf "Chase" - The best Australian Shepherd Australia has ever seen in my opinion!

Alphabetical by exhibitor name always! This seems to be the done thing in NSW and at least you know exactly where you are all the time. Makes is much easier! Definitely my preferred method.

My Liberty grooming table that Rebel won for Baby in Show at the Spring Fair. I have also won some lovely pottery dishes that are great for serving salad's etc in for dinners. Money is always a great prize to. I would prefer a few dollars, or even a dog bed rather than a crappy prize that is never used.

I have always entered online for Sydney Royal. The strange thing is that the dog that has been to the royal a number of times is the one not being accepted.

There has been a problem entering dogs in partnership this year. Ring Dogs NSW and they will sort it out. I rang them yesteday and it was all sorted yesterday and I entered my boy with no problems. It is something to do with the dogs not being linked up properly to both owners, therefore to the computer, only one owner is financial. Something like that.

I am having trouble entering multiple co-owned dogs with different owners.

Anybody know how I get around this or each entry is going to be $30

I don't think there is a way. I have always had to do two entries and two payments. Maybe if you had have done the postal entries it would have been possible???
