I don't have a black book lol I don't do spreadsheets etc either. I rarely show under the same judge twice, might happen more if I lived in the city but the country shows try not to repeat judges too close together and I usually only show one dog at a time. So the judge I went under 5 years ago with my bitch might be back doing this area again but this time I am showing my dog. I do take note of the judges names that do put my breed up for Group or Show awards. I just go and have fun. Never had a judge be rough on a dog. Been told quite a few times that so and so's dog is going to win BIS, BIG or whatever and it hasn't happened yet :laugh: Have had judges whose eyes glaze over when they see a greyhound in the lineup. I just shrug. Their loss. Been told so and so judge is #$%^&^%$# but on the day they are actually very nice, funny and obviously like what they are doing. Showing is my hobby and I try not to take it too seriously. Sometimes I fail, most times I don't (taking it seriously I mean, not win or lose).

Well that's all very well, but why would a person hand/sign over a dog they plan to keep as a pet when all they want is the green collar assessment? So do you have a GAP assessed greyhound? The rules changed some years back. The dog remains yours but does come under the GAP umbrella so they need to be sure about it before issuing a green collar. There are legal requirements to be met. If you don't want to board it then don't do so. Most greyhounds could care less if they are wearing a muzzle or not. And yes I have had GAP greyhounds in the past. I don't understand why you don't believe what GAP told you

there is an endurance thread in the training forum that has heaps of info :)

no it 12-13 all up and he is 17 all up oh ok, mis read it

The dogs hip scores are below the average though so technically might fit the breeders criteria for a low score.

Another vote for Vebo pet- the only style that has managed to keep my Houdini in the crate!! I just looked these crates up and for the size I need it would be $125, not at all expensive. Those cheaper crates are rubbish. I've seen a few at shows.

yeah my greyhounds can get a bit nutso after being fed. I think animals in the wild gorge themselves so they can't move whereas domestic ones don't (usually).

well the dry food my dogs do best on is good old Pal Pedigree. It was the only one all my dogs would eat and do well on. Even the one inclined to yeasty skin. Only other food they get regularly is raw minced chicken carcass's.

Depends on who is doing what. I took all the entires and sent them off to someone else to do the catalogues etc which included the judges breeds and numbers. People started asking for a breed breakdown so I asked for an electronic copy of the catalogue, which I passed on to someone else, not involved with the show, who kindly wrote up the break down on DOL. Or they might have sent it back to me and I put it up, can't remember :laugh: I too like to see a breed break down though :D

looks like a floating rib to me

don't add your own dogs poop into the pile. Just return what belongs to him (or his dog)and he has no basis on which to complain about you to the council etc. Well he might complain but won't have a leg to stand on.

Can someone please post the lay out of the rings.

I live in town and don't have any numbers

Sorry, maybe I havent't explained myself well...I was thinking of getting a pup from a pure-bred border collie and pure-bred labrador retriever...in that case, I meant it would be 50/50... it's still a mutt, go to a good rescue and get one from there if you are so dead set on buying a mutt

:D

Thanks Joan of Arc, I too am astounded at the Fauve entry, it's fantastic. When I first saw them there was only 8 in the country and that was only 5 years ago.

yep will need to bring plenty of warm clothes for me and coats for the dogs

First of all I would get both dogs tested at the vet for a UTI. Without seeing who is doing what you don't really know who the culprit is. Male dogs can pee pretty high if they want to. Try being a bit more proactive with the dogs. Take them outside regularly instead of waiting for them to maybe ask. If you don't want the dog on the couch do not give in. Nothing wrong with having the dogs on your bed or the furniture as long as they will get off when you want and wait for an invite to hop up.

This is my marine ply kennel made in 1989. The pink is the original undercoat which I never got around to painting over. Still going strong. While the dividing fence is off centre it is evenly divided inside. The dividing fence is made out of the Bunnings compost bin pieces and has beem up around 5 years. Kennel and dividing fence are in a 3 by 4 meter yard

Anyone got a breed breakdown? I've been told I have to pick up my numbers despite entering weeks and weeks ago via OzEntries and some people having their numbers posted out.

I've got a huge kennel would have held 3 GSD's but I did, in the end, divide it. Dogs were happier. ETA and I had two doorways so lees chance of anything happening in a door way.

Then you need to go out with her so you know she has gone and so you can praise her as well for doing so.

You're feeding an overweight dog 4 times a day You need to cut back if you expect her to loose weight.
