Can you confrim this as it was posted elsewhere that they have been moved to Canberra

any news if show will be on

Leanne has said the show is still on, I think if the weather closes in the committee might reassess the situation later tonight.... but three people from Tumut have told me that the reports of evacuations of the caravan parks and the town are over reported... Apparently they moved 3 vans and they maintain they havent had the same rain as us...

Its thier call about thier show and I will decided tonight if I am still going after I have spoken to my son who is there today

Have emailed you.....

We are so sorry MM for you and your family...

RIP Keisha

I'm looking to rent a house for a week in the Melbourne or outer Melbourne district so we can do the Easter Weekend at Bulla and Skye... any suggestions... must of course be very dog proof yard

I agree, it was lovely in the shade and there was a beautiful breeze going through, our dogs were hardly panting either and had a very relaxing day at the show :-)

And for the most part the stewards and the judges were very considerate about keeping the dogs out of the sun....

My Whippet Dachlah Indianna Parcelle aka Crystal won the puppy sweepstakes, puppy in group & puppy in show, & our Norwegian Elkhound was Minor in Group & our Labrador beautifully handled by my 11 year old daughter was Bitch challenge & Best of Breed.

We had an awesome show :)

Wasnt too hot, had the cool coats on the dogs & spray bottles, they werent panting or anything :)

Yes congratulations, she did a wonderful job.... and I was happy to help out with the other labs....

i saw several people helping others and its nice to see people helping each other at shows ... too little of it these days...

Staffy was BIS not the OES :-)

Yep Staffy was def... BIS...

BIG 3 was Curly Coat male

my little Rosie was BOB but that was it...

Thanks brentland ... we have a blanket policy in NSW, not that its much better than individual choice...

Edited to add that I have just checked the website and see that the two shows for Naracoote (sp?) have been cancelled.

isn't NSW policy that the show must stop if it gets to a certain temperature? so people then wait till it drops?

Naracoorte is Sth Aust ... they have a definitive policy ... if forecast is 37c or higher the show is CANCELLED.

Well done SA ... I believe all States should have a "blanket" policy.

Yes that's the situation and its a crock with respect.... if you have been to Wagga or Albury or the riverina to show you will know that if you stop a show at 35 and wait till it cools down you could still be there at 10 that night....

Just blanket cancel and be done with it... having said that we were very prepared: frozen water bottles for the dogs, cool coats, extra ice and plenty of water and shade.... and that was all for the dogs....

I see the weather forecast for Rochester for tomorrow is 36 degrees.... what is the Victorian extreme weather policy? Is the show likely to be cancelled? ...

The gazette said to look at the DogsVic website during the day but thought I would post here and ask what is normal....

RE: the two clumbers

They are both coming from the Bernedale kennel. The Painswick bitch and a Bernedale dog.

Cool thank you for that... some photos would be wonderful.....

I have a huge favour to ask of DOLers....

I see there are two clumbers entered... could someone please post which ones they were? :thanks:

Usually on the first day of the Royal the catalogue is posted online. I'm sure Sway will update us when it is.

Thank you .... Will keep an eye out for Sway's post

If you don't track it down let me know and I'll go stickybeaking... It doesn't take much incentive for me to go peeking at Clumbers...

I wish we were coming but its too far when we have school the next day.... but would love to have shown with other clumbers.....

So I now have my Dogs NSW and Dogs VIc gazettes and remarkably my DNA 2012 diary arrived express post today ...but still no copy of DNA.... I see they have posted a copy of the Feb front page on DOL homepage today.... lets see if it takes 4 weeks to send it to me like has been taking...

Does anybody have the contact number for the Secretary, the one listed in Vic Dog says it is not connected???

I asked that same question here a few weeks ago and got my head bitten off.... but still have no contact details

Mine arrived in the post today... but still no Dog News and they havent responded to two emails

Mine is still not here either, how come some people can have theirs and other's not?

Not only that, but isnt there ballot papers in this edition?

What if it's so late that we miss the opportuntiy to have our vote registered? to be disenfranchised .... not happy about that....

Still no gazette and still no Dog News.....

Got mine today too

7 days later I wish I could say the same but I have collected my mail today and I am still waiting.

Just been to P O Box and I feel like Mother Hubbard....

NOTHING from either sources

Still no gazette and still no Dog News.....

Still no sign of either my DogsVIc Gazette or my DNA :shrug:

I'd have a or :coffee: but I usually read my Dogs' gazettes or DNA with it....so only had one cup this week!!

No DogsVIc yet and no DNA - not even a diary I ordered a few weeks ago....

But did get DogsNSW today

Rosie has had a lovely long break from the show ring because of the heat and there just isnt any shows in our area between November and February....but she is still growing and getting more beautiful every day (but I am very bias :laugh: )
