Tiggy I will swap you a dumbbell (that you gave me ages ago) for copies of Puppy Jumping DVD and maybe Pre Sports Puppy DVD ;) And if you want to get rid of the actual DVD's I will give you $15 for each.

Yay for Zipper and 3rd in CCD is pretty good for "just a stud dog" ;) Onto UD now for Cider hey Ptolomy

Big Congratulations from here Ptolomy Who else was in WInner or Winners besides Moo Sandi? Cider? I take it Mouse had a pass too?

At this time I am not even going to pretend I know what an Opthamologist is.... But usually you can call up the receptionists of a specialists place and ask if they will see you without a referral...

They should forfeit thier bragging rights if they don't hurry up and get on DOL! Lucky I am up doing work or I would be in suspense all night!!!

Waiting up inpatiently here

Just a hurried one today when I ducked home on my lunch break from work

Good luck everyone! Been to flat out at work to get on DOL the last couple of days so sorry for the belated luck...

Day 99

Ok Day 100, this was rushed as I remembered just before I went to work. As always huga your images are stunning! I love your 'sheen' you have to the images, is it a Lightroom effect? I really like your pic dogfan, it just shows what is probably typical day thing for you? Almost all mine will too

MG do you have a show lead? Zora knows the difference between her show lead and the lead she wears on walks/to classes and will sit much more on the everyday lead. ST can show you some good tricks for getting boy puppies to stand too ;)

That shouldn't be It should be Bummed you're not going to put Toby in, RV!!! Kind of hard to when I am at work Plus I made such a fuss get my shift swapped for the Royal it was just easier not to go for states. I'd be coming down with something *cough* No I emailed HR asking if it was possible to get the day off before the schedule was released so it's going to be a bit obvious! Plus Toby just keeps getting further away from being CCD ready - Trixie and Amypie need to teach Toby how to do a SFE.

Can someone please tell the CCD steward at states that I am withdrawn

Thanks so much Mim!! Toby is a very fit dog and he must be kept lean because a broken leg as a pup means he is almost certain to get arthritis. Here is this mornings effort, day 101 The actual 100 day countdown starts tomorrow!

Is the WC a puppy? Will I get to meet it next week? Not that I still want one, but I would really love to meet one in person She's an adult and the owners are from Scotland CC! They are getting a boy out from Scotland too and planning to have pups ;)

Thanks CC and everyone else! I am really hoping to improve my photography skills between now and when I go to America So I think taking a picture each day will help.

Happy Birthday ST Tonight at agility there was another Brittany AND a working Cocker! Missed out RS! ;)

102 Days till 2012

Just ordered a purple one to put on the girl at shows (and trials when she is older) They are having a special ;)

Just realised that it isn't 100 days today, so I am starting today anyway but changed the numbers to reflect that

I actually think my puppy will be CCD ready before the older dog Every time I think of doing stays with him it makes me feel sick to my stomach, so I don't know how I will not let nerves effect me in a trial situation. However we are closer then ever to being ready with the ring work, his duration heeling for a remote reward is awesome, he seems to have clicked with the stands and his recall is as steady as ever. Been working on rear end work and show stands the last couple of days with the pup. She is awesome to train

Ok so I fell off the wagon with my 52 weeks projects for the dogs, so I am going to take a photo a day for the last 100 days of 2012 and post them in here, anyone else who wants to join is welcome. Part of my 100 days is in America so it won't all be dogs Here is Day 103, my beautiful Brittany Zora

No problem RS I would hate for anything to happen. If it's just going to be ST's pups Zora (and Gibbs?) I might leave Toby at home, but if you want to bring your girls I am happy to put him in the house so that they can have a play and some areas need a mow so you can have some cover to practice retrieving in. BTW I watched the first part of the Wildrose DVD but it basically told me to do nothing because of Zora's teething. However it gave me some good ideas for when she is done teething and 'what' to train now, although I definitely don't think I am going to use Mr.Wildrose's methods to train heeling, recalls or stays. ;) It has some good drills though and gave me some awesome ideas.

Thanks for the offer, I will try see how big it will be but I have two sets and I think ST also has two that I need to ask her to bring... I have a tracking lead and a lunge lead as well. I have never had my dogs try and escape but my brothers stafford has before (she is a little demon explorer) however my brother let her out unattended and she ran into the 20 acre lot next door to look for kangaroo poo to eat
