Thanks for the results

Bumping again for anyone who hasn't seen this.

Was the neuter group entry longer than the group entry?

The way it could happen is if one or more entire breeds weren't represented.

Which I have seen.

If that question means 'were there more breeds represented in neuter than entire?', the answer is Yes

It wasn't a question.

It was a statement about such a curious situation could occur.

You will have to pardon my scepticism though.

It was a question, there is a question mark in your quote.

Was I quoting you

The "you people" did make it sound like you were referring to all in the thread IMO..

Congratulations Weizone!!!

We have exhibited two Std Poodles in Neuter class and gained their Neuter Champion titles. They are father and daughter, both titled, one being the only Std Poodle Grand Champion in Victoria for many tears. Both poodles are multiple class in Group and Specialty class in show winners. We consider them both to be good examples of the breed, but for various reasons decided not to continue breeding with their lines. Most judges have been very positive about neuter class and many have questioned why our dogs are desexed, even had an International judge asking the steward why the Neuter could not have been given BOB as she was better than the entire exhibits!

I think that by having Neuter class, it is a way of keeping good dogs in the ring and encouraging new exhibitors who do not want an entire dog, but still wish to show.

Agree.

The only people I know or am aware of who enter neuters are exhibitors who take the opportunity to give their old neutered conformation champions a run.

Dogs that have paid their dues in the real world of dog showing.

Still, showies are much more interested in the veterans s.s than they are the neuter scene.

The veterans actually draw the crowd & the applause & the admiration.

Disagree with you on all points fixer.

As dotdashdot is a perfect example of, there are people out there showing dogs in neuter that haven't got their Ch.

A lot of people are very supportive of neuter classes, including the majority, if not all, the judges I have shown a neuter under.

Many people still stick around for NIS, even though it is the last class to be judged, and I have heard some great cheers for NIS wins.

I have always believed the purpose of DOL is to have discussions. If we all just stated our opinion, and no one questioned or discussed things, this place would be very boring and no one would learn anything.

Here we go - Qld now has neuter classes (well ones that count for points and a title). Make sure you ensure your dog is registered as neutered with the office though.

From Rob and DQ:

I would draw your attention to the article as printed in the January Council Notes.

NEUTER CHAMPION

All Members and Clubs are reminded that the Neuter Champion Title may be applied for through the Dogs Queensland Office. A complete article in regards to this will be published in the February Dog World but here is a brief report;

“A Neuter Championship Title is available. Championship points will be allocated to the best exhibit in each sex in the breed as per the normal championship points system.

Only dogs or bitches registered as a “neuter” on the Main Register are eligible to compete in the Neuter Classes. If you have a dog or bitch on the Main Register that is neutered, but their registration details have not been changed, you must do so before entering in a show.

To have your dogs details changed all the office needs is your original certificate of registration and pedigree along with the sterilisation certificate issued by your vet at the time of the operation.”

The CCC(Q) Rules are presently being reviewed and this article will appear in the February Dog World

Great news!!!

I thought they could only change the price when your policy renews each year?

Neuter classes aren't mandatory in Vic either.

Oh God, that is awful.

Please don't blame yourself, it is in no way your fault.

Just spoke to his owner. The owner of the kennel said to her "I can offer you no explanation".

It's not good, but at least they didnt try to make something up to cover themselves.

Agree with Clyde, at least they didn't make excuses. It is still disgraceful though . Will they at least be paying the vet bill?

This has happened to me before, I was so upset and furious! The kennel owner was/is also a dol'er.I haven't used kennels since, it was about nine yrs ago. But am using them next week for the first time. They don't mix sbt's regardless of the owners wishes and I feel confident that they will respect my instructions for no socialising. They have a really good rep and loads of clients use them. Still nervous though

You mean you are using a different boarding kennel right, not the same one that your dog was injured at?

Sorry yes, I wasn't very clear. Totally different kennels. No amount of money would convince me to use the other one again!

Phew! From what you said I didn't think you'd be using the same kennels, but then when you said using them next week, I was confused if you meant "them" as boarding kennels in general, or that specific one!

Congratulations capanash! :cheer: And thanks for the results.

Sorry, just re saw the topic is Melbourne Shows! :o :o

Ignore my above post.

Disgraceful! Not sure where they stand, but I would make sure they have photos of the injuries plus the vet's report, then speak to the boarding kennels and go from there.

Is this in Victoria? If so could you PM me the name so I can avoid them.

I guess it depends where abouts in Australia they will be? The Canberra Royal is in late Feb, that might be good because there is confirmation showing plus agility, plus all the regular show stuff such as rides, showbags etc.

Here is a link to the Canberra show website: http://www.rncas.org.au/showwebsite/site/index.php

From their guestbook though

"Name: Hanson

Comment: Just posting so the crazy stalker bitches on the Dolf forums have something to talk about to distract them from their pathetic lives. :)"

Now how is that helpful or going to assist the site to look more legitimate? Bitch slapping before things have even started?

Oh dear

Just testing a statement made Rebanne. I can't see a warning as such, only that the thread cannot be replied to after 365 days.

How/why did you reply then?

Gosh, this thread deteriorated into a mud slinging match quickly
