Regarding Albany you pay the same fee as the dog exhibitors Considering how much Albany dog club just spent on all the new equipment for the obedience/agility people i would see no reason to complain on the entry fee considering the massive costs they have to get judges & the likes up there.They also need to make some sort of money to keep going. Just remember if obedience don't support these clubs & whinge at cost then this is why clubs drop those events. The show people enter many dogs & don't complain & we all have the same expenses to get up there

What where you feeding prior to his weight management change>> His bringing up bile could also be related to the change of food because weight management may not agree with his system. If he is still getting fat & getting no other foods & you have stuck to a specific cup/weight routine PLUS taken into account anything added like bones etc etc then health issues need to be considered What are you feeding & how much Our guys who run an acre daily for hrs get 1/2 -1/3 cup of royal canin plus there tuckertime roll about 1/2- 1/3 cup varying on age & ability to put on weight. Ours don't get bones or other real treats.

You also need to remember if you have an unfenced backyard & the pup isn't able to go outside & play like it is use to then you are also creating a needy pup because it has no choice. It is at present reliant on you for everything so it is unsure of where it stands in the being independent. Springers are also known as being very needy & clingy .

Yep so very true & the reason why the Asthma foundation no longer recommend breeds because people can still react. I now people who have severely reacted to poodles but not schnauzers etc etc. We get alot of calls as our breed is more that is more suitable for allergies but we always advice that it's no guarantee . Breeds considered more suitable generally are high maintenance due to them being non shedding in the traditional way but still shed when brushed. schnauzers Bichon poodles Bedlington Kerry Blue Soft Coated Wheaton Portuguese water dog lowchen Havanese Other breeds can be suitable but shed naturally not from brushing. Schnauzers when clipped end up with a soft coat BUT breeds like Welsh which have the harsher coat do shed

Blockage is a massive issue. We lost our top show bitch to a blockage & learnt a very quick lesson on how to do a good barium meal to pick them up as they don't show up on xray

Furminator On Irish Setter Coat

you can but i don't on my showdogs -
They can do it here

Sorry it isn't what dogs do.my dogs don't pee in my house so they don't pee on other peoples belongings. As a handler you are in charge of what your dog does & allowing it to pee up peoples stuff is bad form .Accidents do happen & like already said ,say sorry & give that person a chance to water the area down. I have had people allow there dogs to pee in my dogs crates & on my dogs,grooming box,chair,clothes attached to my chair,esky,ezy up walls & the list goes on Not one word of sorry If your dog is a piddler then pay attention All the things mentioned would apply to any type of sport or interest.Its about asking for help,ensuring you are prepared & pay attention.

we never had issues with our female greys together The only thing that i would be concerned with is at 12 yrs moving house will be a massive change for the old girl & she may be become overwhelmed with finding her new spots plus adding a new dog to the equation. I personally would be allowing the old girl more time to adjust to the move & settling first

Names have always been able to be changed provided done by a set age & the dog hasn't been shown at a show & that there is good reason for the change.

Why Is It Some Shows Seem To Dicourage Interstate Exhibitors
Dogsfevr replied to Jsk's topic in General Dog Discussion
Be grateful you can camp at the grounds ,not every state has that privilege & people forget they often have it lucky. -
I suggest you get out and meet some of these breeds, dog shows are a great venue although there aren't many Vizslas showing in WA. My short list some 13 years ago was very similar! I crossed Ridgebacks off pretty quick because they are bigger, less active and not as easy to train (although very trainable!). Being a Hound they are more aloof with strangers. FOr what I was interested in I decided the Utility Gundog breeds were more suitable. The Gundogs you've listed are all high energy and would love that 2 hours exercise each day, but don't expect them to sit on the couch with you if they don't get it! We rarely get 1 Vizsla shown, we have a wirehaired Vizsla shown more often. Keep in mind i don't believe we have any breeders of Vizsla's in WA so you would have to go east. If the GSP are to your liking consider the wire haired GSP aswell ,we do have a breeder in WA of those who also breeds GSP.

Head to a dog show although the WA show season is coming to an end so only a few shows left this year

There was 165 GSDs entered so about 6 hrs to judge them???
-
Not when they have a specialty show I thought yesterdays was a seperate specialty but todays was under the Spring Fair show banner and that they should have waited for the GSDs? What time did GSD judging start ?? What time did the whole show finish ?? Why did the GSD judging take so long if it wasn't a speciality show but part of the All Breeds show?

There are a number of things that are annoying but will always happen but as already mentioned people not taking adequate shade down for there dogs & then trying to pinch yours or setting there dogs so close to your gear it isn't funny . I make the effort to take to buy what i need & take it down & it isn't there for free use by those who make no effort at all. * Those people who are always unorganized & think the whole show should wait for them,at one show an exhibitor felt the show should be delayed because there where scratchings & there breed is normally on at "said" time but was on earlier & it wasn't fair as they where rushed

I fly large dogs yearly . You will be looking (if Rotti) size about $175 give or take each way plus crate hire if required. Virgin only take vari or solid wire crates no fold ups & fly every day. Qantas take fold up wire crates but have restricted times on weekends that they take dogs

Ooooh, what concerts?? I want to go to Canada or the US and see one of my fave bands ;) And I'd love to go to Croatia, looks beautiful! I want to do the Mediterranean cruise that goes there, sounds devine!! I've spent like 2 days in England and didn't really get to even sightsee (my host was lousy, slept in til lunch time, what a cow!!!!) and LA/San Fran. Looooooooove San Fran :p I'd so love to visit somewhere in Canada (Vancouver perhaps) and also New York (and loads of other places!) Eurovision ??

The new ones are far better than the old ones. They fit per wall where the old ones don't. The zip together,better protection from rain & the sun. We had 2 oz trails at one show joined together with 7 walls up & zipped

Ulster Kennels was owned by Dan Oconnor & now his daughter runs the place (if still the case). Dan runs the Albany dog club & they use to breed/show Italian Greyhounds . Drive past the place each show
