Perhaps this is it rastus_froggy...post #8 http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/186545-building-better-dogs-seminar-11-feb-2010/

I have changed my 'Mac' to his real name to avoid confusion to Westiemum's Mac

Good!

I Googled them...they are like grubby, long, floppy-eared Westies..I love them http://www.google.com/search?q=Glen+of+Imaal+Terrier&hl=en&client=ubuntu&hs=Rsm&channel=fs&prmd=ivns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=_5tDToOrHe7SiAKt9MW5Ag&ved=0CDMQsAQ&biw=1024&bih=553

Thanks for that, I Googled 'Wheaten specialty show at spring fair' but it appears to be in NSW, is there any in Qld?

Hi Sheridan...I looked on the Ekka Show schedule and there are no Wheaten Terriers, I thought they would be a popular breed (and I wanted to see some :-D )

O poop, perhaps I have blown all my money now.

try this link http://www.lifewithdogs.tv/2011/08/static-dog/

I am drying 6 trays of Herb Robert at the moment (I have a Harvest Maid dryer like the one in the link but mine has only 6 trays!) http://wudhi.com/recipes/equipment.htm If Mac would like some more, and Sheridan, if Grumpy would also like some, (and anyone else who has a demented dog) let me know and I'll send some off. It is chopped stalks, leaves and flowers.

I lashed out and bought some as well. I have been using Aquadent but I don't really know if it works. Mac's teeth are getting tartar on them and he gets a chicken wing or 1/2 turkey neck each day. He is a bugger as he goes ow ow ow ow ow ow ow hu hu hu hu hu if I try to brush his teeth (or brush his feet or wipe the 'sleep' out of his eyes) Hope it works.

Pity they don't do an article on Don-the-Berk

That's the stuff I was looking for SecretKei (you beat OSoSwift to the post :-D ). I may have got the hip score info wrong...maybe he is talking about the parents, I'll find out. I think he is hesitant about breeding so the info may get a bomb under him to go and get her desexed. Thanks everyone.

I know I have read on some forums here about problems and expenses on breeding. A neighbour has a pretty 8 month old GSD,(no papers) when I asked him when he was going to get her spayed he said that he was unsure as 'people' had been telling him that it is good for a bitch to have a litter. I asked him if these people were registered breeders, or, even had a dog (they didn't, surprise surprise) I did tell him if he thought he would be improving his breed if he had her mated, and that there may be problems with whelping that could be expensive. He did say that she had hip scores done and that they were #2 Can someone here direct me to any threads on problems with breeding so that I can cut and paste and email him with some facts so he can make a informed decision (like get her desexed now! :-D ) Thanks, B

Yes Drumbeat, I also thought that when I read a little of it....you UK Terrier-peeps had better wake up to yourselves By the way...my Westies don't want to be part of the UK Breeds http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43077321/ns/world_news-europe/t/scotland-split-uk-be-nation-again/

It's ok now, I found it (sort-of) I searched the breed sub-forums, I could only search 'Terrier'...if I wrote 'Border terrier' in the search box I got this message: The following search terms are not allowed and were removed from your query: border perhaps the DOL computer thinks the word 'Border' is rude. Border terriers are in the UK Terrier Breeds forum.

I have a friend who has a Border Terrier...I have suggested she check-out DOL and was going to direct her to the forum But where is it? Can't find it at all :-D

Yep...straw mulch in my house as well! Also some banana skins...Mac found some bananas that had ripened and fell off the tree, he and the girls ate them but he bought the skins upstairs for me.

At least the dog didn't do a poo and put more crap on the street...those women may be beautiful but they could quit throwing their rubbish hither-thither-willie-nilly all over the paths. How annoying they are.

http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/breaking-news/elderly-parents-booted-to-make-room-for-dogs/story-e6freonf-1226103940961 A ST Petersburg woman threw her elderly parents out of their shared apartment to accommodate her 11 dogs, then bombarded court officers with glasses, dishes and tear gas when they arrived to remove the animals. A court had ruled the unidentified woman must give up her pets so her 70-year-old parents could return to the apartment, RIA Novosti news agency reported overnight. When the court officers, who had found a place to take the dogs, informed the woman when they would arrive to pick them up, she said she would have a "surprise" waiting. First, she locked herself in a room with the dogs, barricading the door with boxes and wardrobes. When the officers finally got inside, after more than three hours, the woman pelted them with glasses and dishes and sprayed tear gas through a hole between doors. One of the dogs jumped to her assistance and bit an officer on the shin. RIA Novosti said the woman eventually was handcuffed and the animals given sleeping pills and taken to their new locale. The parents reportedly returned to the apartment.

I think she eventually wants to do agility...she has the right dog for the job

My friend is interested in training her rescue Belgian Shepherd Just over 1 year old) at Redland Bay Obedience or Cleveland Obedience Clubs. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks :-)
