hmm if the winds keeps up like it was a few hours ago you might want to bring extra tent pegs. --Lhok

Mischief gets washed outside with the hose, however we have an outside shower for when we come back from the beach so she gets a warm shower/wash. --Lhok

Just another update on the weather, it's been a bit windy over the last couple of days so make sure you bring something warm --Lhok

lit another candle in the wake of this awesome news Keep improving Jed --Lhok

Bump Bump --Lhok

Candle relighted sending healing vibes to Jed --Lhok

That's horrible how could anyone pass such a thing.. and how/ what can we do to stop it? --Lhok

Popped in to see how Jed is good to know she is improving I'm also a bit shy but I brought some cards along and some left over chocolate from my wedding ^_^ (get better soon Jed we miss you) --Lhok

Just my thoughts Here in Coffs we had our local ag show, but the dog show part of the ag show was at our racecourse which is about 10 mins away it wasn't well advertised that the dog show part was at the racecourse and I wondered how that would affect it. Seeing how last year when it was still at the show ground lots of the public were walking around talking to the exhibitors if there isn't enough advertising people just don't know which is sad :p --Lhok

Bump!! because the deadline is getting closer --Lhok

just an update on the weather in "sunny" coffs harbour... it's pouring rain :D can you show in Gumboots? --Lhok

I'll be there hopefully with camera in hand as I dont have a show dog yet.. --Lhok

Candle relit sending healing vibes to Jed --Lhok

Chose No even though I think I read somewhere that the original stock for breeding the amstaff was the same as the pitbull. I don't believe they are the same dog anymore might be the same type of dog like bull breeds and whatnot but that is because they come from the pit background many many years ago. --Lhok

Is there much difference between the American Akita lines and the Japanese Akita lines? I've been doing a bit of research and the FCI have two separate standards for the difference lines. Thanks --Lhok

When I was kid I used to watch his show and I didn't know why but I didn't like him at all got to the point where my dad would just call me out of my room to view the road tests. I also saw that Irish wolfhound road test can't remember for the life of me what was said but I did like looking at the dogs --Lhok

Thanks for the replies can't wait to go to the next show, I also have started looking into breed standards but they look like a whole lot of gobbly gook at the moment as I don't know how to read one and get the information out of it and apply it to the dog. I also might be just getting ahead of myself but I am enjoying all this research ;) --Lhok

Don't know how much help this will be but my dad's kelpie got a bit distressed the same way you described as he got older. The vet my dad took his kelpie to checked him over and found that there was something wrong with his eyes (not sure what it was) and he became confused and problematic as his hearing was fine and he was reacting to things he couldn't see but hear. Just a thought though you might want to get his eyes checked and eliminate that possiblity --Lhok on a side note he might just want to play up to his name of "Loki" being the Norse god of mischief and strife. :D

in no particular order 1. Pyrenean Mountain Dog 2. Akita 3. Elkhund 4. Shiba Inu 5. Saluki 6. Beauceron 7. Landcastershire Heeler 8. Central Asian Ovcharka 9. Dachshund 10. Chow Chow bonus dog would be Basset Hound due to the smoochy face! --Lhok

At the moment Just 1 which is a Lab x Kelpie and is aptly named Mischief --Lhok

we'll be up for Saturday/Sunday shows so hope to see you (we have Corgis, come say hi)! I will come and definately say hello, and hopefully I will have my camera back after it gets fixed from my dog sitting on it --Lhok

Oooh I didn't know there was one but I will now --Lhok

The all breeds one in Coffs Harbour --Lhok

I went to the show to look at Pyrenean Mountain Dogs, but seeing how there were none to be seen that day I went I fell in love with an Akita. So I will have to look into both and find out which one is for me --Lhok
