I copied this from the dogs Vic f/b page for those who are interested. DOGS Victoria Update on shows being held weekend of 25 & 26 February 2012 * Berwick Ag Show Saturday - refer ABC 7pm News Friday - cancelled if forecast temperature is 38 degrees. (group seven will now be judged by Mr T Horchner after group 6) * Rochester A & P Society Inc - show commences at 9.30am as per schedule * Warrnambool & District - shows will commence at 8am both days * Naracoorte Kennel Club (SA) shows 25 February are cancelled. The show scheduled for Sunday 26 will go ahead.

isn't NSW policy that the show must stop if it gets to a certain temperature? so people then wait till it drops? Naracoorte is Sth Aust ... they have a definitive policy ... if forecast is 37c or higher the show is CANCELLED. Well done SA ... I believe all States should have a "blanket" policy. i agree - it stops alot of confusion.

Just saw the forecast on the news - 37 degrees !!!! We may give it a miss if the forecast remains that hot by Saturday - our dogs don't show to well in extreme heat & it is a pity the show is starting later too. Hope the forecast is wrong!!

Thanks for this link - anyway of finding out the group specials results.

I think you should have them by now as they came about a week ago. I would ring the secretary just to make sure they got your entry.

Thanks for the info :)

Just realised I have not been sent passes with my numbers for this show as is usual for an A & H Show. Has anyone else been sent passes or aren't they required on Saturday ?

Wow finished early. yes ... great time to finish .... no breaks - straight through to BIS judging.. which is how it should be in summer !!!! Smart club for not making a whole group wait around until after lunch for group specials!!

Gp 2 BIG - Staffie (Marsh) R/Up BIG - Foxie (Campbell) That's all I know as a friend messaged me.

A bit off topic as it's not for puppy rego, but we've been waiting almost 6 weeks for a title application, where we'll collect once ready. So we called this week and were told it's ready but we can't come and get it until someone contacts us and that they're short staffed so it might be awhile Yes we have been waiting six weeks too for a title certificate and we personally took in the paperwork so they could not misplace it as they did the last time we applied for a title application!!

Well done :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I agree with all these comments - it is frustrating arriving early to see all the decent spots taken by people who dont arrive until just before their breed judging. But as we have all noticed some dog people are so selfish. I know one exhibitor who shows several dogs, runs around the ring etc but uses the disabled parking spot because she is too lazy to walk and arrives late as her friends save her a spot. Some dog people think they are above the rules unfortunately.

Thanks for these results - any other groups???

No Lang Lang did not get the extremely hot weather experienced at Benalla - it was quite overcast at first the the sun broke out but certainly not too hot. :)

No pics of my breed - some nice pics of other dogs though.

I would have to say the challenges for our group were available in a reasonable time and i felt the shows were well run. I guess it depends on what group you were at. We also need to remember all the people running these shows do if for nothing and without them there would be no shows.

Is there any results for today - Sunday??

gp 2 BIG - JRT r/up BIG - Foxie baby - JRT Minor JRT Junior ??? Inter - BIG Aus Bred- Staffie Open - r/up

and baby Foxy (price) minor r/up BIG puppy staffie Junior BIG (Kerry Lee) Inter Staffie Aus Bred Cairn (Chapman)

I agree the two twilight shows this week were great - especially for those exhibiting outside. It even got a little chilly later on in the evening too. A 7 o'clock start also missed the really hot temperatures.

Anyway are there any results someone can publish??? Unless everyone there has melted!!

Some dog people put their chance to get that next challenge before the welfare of their dog. When we get such an extreme forecast like Mondays show it should really be cancelled to protect the welfare of the dogs.

A Lovely message - best wishes for a happy 2012 to all.
