I'm looking at lenses once again! :p

Wanting a good all round lens, love my 50mm but looking for something a little more versatile. Right now I'm liking the sigma 17 - 70mm. I've done a little snooping around and I think at least a few of you have it.

Opinions? Example photos are nice too ;) throw all your info at me!

(I know these types of topics come up a lot, sorry to be a pain, if there's a similar thread just direct me there )

Woah, go Stella! A very successful nationals trip indeed!

Just read through the finals results! Loved seeing some familiar names :) now I shall just wait impatiently for video :laugh:

Only 762 days 'til the next one! :p

I've been avoiding this thread because I'm still bitter about not going :laugh: But, well done to all! I look forward to seeing at least some runs via YouTube :D

Are the finals results posted somewhere?

Two. And that's the most we've had.

Though if i had the time, space and money, I'd have about 28462486 dogs. :laugh: Maybe not! I wouldn't really want more than two performance dogs, so maybe two sports dogs and a retiree. Probably no more than 3, though I'm certain to break that rule sometime in my life. Hehehe.

Awesome stuff Tassie! Big Congratulations!

Well done Kathq!

Congrats RS and Millie!

Today Jess got her JDX title with 1st place and a excellent agility Q with 2nd place! :D

Yep, what they said. Basically America's/AKC's version of our Ag Ch. Though dogs can have multiple MACH's, the record is something crazy like MACh20 or something!

It stands for Master Agility Champion... I think :)

Eta: re-read the original post. Yes it is a title.

Weird names are the best! Love extremely human names and random inanimate objects :)

I once heard a lady call her dog down the park. "Stilletto" :laugh:

In my long list of potentional puppy names, some odd ones include Quiver, Jagger and Pi/Pie :p

And a Mudis! These guys are similar to a Kelpie.

Mudi, yes please!

How gorgeous are the merles!

(I think the plural is Mudik :))

eeek, sorry for the hugeness!

Add the Pyrenean Shepherd http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrenean_Shepherd and the Markiesje http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markiesje to the list :laugh:

I think the first Australian litter of Pyr Sheps are being bred this year, right?

Really? Do you know who is breeding them? That is very exciting!

Oh damn. I just went to find the website and it turns out the dog's hip score results weren't too good so she won't be bred! That's disappointing. (link) Hopefully it won't be too long before we have Pyr pups down under!

Border Collies are definitely lounging professionals! Mine has her L.Ch, Lounging Champion! ;)

Like I need another photography app :p This one looks pretty snazzy! :D

double post, oops.

Not sure on obedience sorry!

But, OMG TORI SELF AND REV! What a run! Such an inspirational team!

yep, everything ;)

Who's watching? :)

International large jumping is next, yay!

Watched a bit of the agility and heelwork to music tonight! Loving it!

Got my times sorted to watch more agility tomorrow night! Very inspirational! :)

I started the Delta course, started doing puppy classes at the vets I worked at, then also got a second job at a dog daycare and training centre, then started doing training for the RSPCA and eventually went out on my own :D

Lovely! I love success stories!

Lily my (well, my parents') bullmastif died of cancer and an enlarged heart aged 6. Just past 5 years since we lost her at such a young age.

Hoping my two current dogs (aged 4 & 5) are with me for much longer!

Since we've got a long weekend I was hoping to take the dogs some where new. I'm looking for a nice place (like a walking trail/park/etc) where dogs are allowed off lead. Any ideas?

Looking for somewhere particually south, we are in woodcroft if that helps.

Cheers :)

Roxy is adorable! Love those ears!

I'm a Juddy fan! Too cute!

Aw, Paddington! He has a lot of personality in your photos, ktig!

Nice shots of your curlies, tlc! Love that poolside pic!

Dash is a cutie! Lovely beach shots!

Love that pic of Kuma and Sanchez! Nice bright colours and adorable expressions!

Gorgeous P&S shot Snook! Shows you don't need the best equipment to get a lovely photo!

Phoebe is such a character :laugh:! Nice one!

Haven't been in here for awhile!

Wow, kathq! That's awesome! Congrats!

First trial of the year for us and Jess got her GD title with 2nd place and a snooker Q with 1st place! :D :D
