boxagirl

I wasn't impressed at all with German judge either He was SO rough looking at my sibes mouths- he counted (outloud may I add) every tooth! and practically had his whole hand in my boys mouth Also barely looked at dogs on side stack (didnt even get to set up). Also he said no brushes/combs in the ring to the afghans FCI judge.

Boxers don't have smelly coats either We have visitors around alot and they always comment how lovely Bondi's coat is and how clean she is- and they all assume I bath her lots Bondi would be lucky to get 3 baths a year But that said, she is an inside dog.. she just doesn't get dirty Booker gets bathed for shows- nice and easy.

Working at the kennels, I definately think certain breeds have more smelly coats.... labradoodle/cavoodley things come to mind! But the MOST smelly dog we ever had in was a Bergamasco (dreadlocks) dog that we shipped to USA... he stunk!!!

Lovely to meet you (properly) too CC

Boxagirl and poo-fong well done at the open show!!

boxagirl were you at canine on Thursday? I thought it may have been booker but I wasn't sure!!

Yep that was me and Booker- I saw someone with a Wei pup and though it might have been you

Well done! I think I may have been in the baby line up with you as Mr Jerry Whippet got Baby in Group as well - at his very first show!

Super proud of my little man, he was a bit overwhelmed when we first got down there (his first time at K9) but soon discovered that this place was full of nice people and nice dogs and he had a ball! He showed like an absolute trooper, must do no training more often...

Your Whippet baby was very cute! :D Booker was bouncing all over the place- he had a ball though Need to work on showing teeth for the judge!

Thanks ooo I didn't know there was agility on today! Would've come and watched!

congrats everyone on your obedience achievements!

Today mr Booker got baby puppy in group at the open show Very proud of him

Not wednesday its the thursday as that is when i am on. if you get to come back loz you can help me show i got four bitches two dogs lol

Deal

Oh learn something new every day so fingers crossed we get to go back wednesday too- then I get a day off work

Group 6 is still split as well isn't it? I wonder why they get the short straw every year. But the split of gundogs into do many is strange. I wouldn't mind if we were split like other States with Group on the last day Although does make it hard for handlers.

Not this year I don't think? We are on the 1st.

We are usually the group that is split- which I don't mind-means we get to go back to watch general specials :D But not this year, unless we win something

I work at a kennels, and although cleaned daily, disinfected before and after cleaning- some dogs are just "dirty" dogs and insist on marking walls, beds etc and then laying on them or rubbing on the wall. Also if the dog is in a concrete pen and wees, then runs through it- it will smell like urine. Alot of dogs don't wait to be taken out to excersise before they wee, and males especially go on a marking frenzy when around other dogs.

I think an enclosed backyard would be good so we can tee it up at some stage

Yep I have a little adventurous explorer puppy and havn't started recall training yet

Yep sounds good MG Let me know when you are free.

If anybody wants to come to my place at some stage for a puppy play date, you are more than welcome. I only have a small yard but it is fully enclosed. I would like for Pippa to have a play with a few puppies at some stage

Booker would love a playdate (with anyones pup if anyone is keen ) I want him to get to play with other pups too- he is very gentle for a puppy (I think it is because Bondi doesn't wrestle with him- they just play chasey) and when he got together with his siblings at the show they were beating him up, but he didn't mind Apparently i have turned him soft, but he loves every dog he sees

Half considering skipping his show to have puppy playdate instead!

Not sure if i am going to make the puppy get together next sunday, my friend is getting a new pup next weekend and i have promised to go and see it...

Me too Booker is entered in a show I've just realised.

I've started with Booker- 13 weeks

boxagirl how did you go with Booker yesterday?

I was going to go look for you with Lulu (was at the working dog club show) but I had to leave early!

mas I am glad that your boys are getting along so well.

Booker beat his brother He got 3rd in his class, and was beaten by two older (and much bigger) pups- so I am pleased with how he went He enjoyed himself, and I enjoyed showing him Got his first ribbon too even if it is 3rd.

Hope its not an "oodle" :rolleyes:

Mr Booker had his first show today (was going to scratch him so his first show would be boxer specialty, but decided to show him today as he was there anyway) He was better behaved than I expected (no wrestling around on the floor so the judge could examine him, he stood pretty still ) and although he jumped around abit running around the ring, we did manage to get him to gait nicely part of the way He was happy in confident in the ring so I'm very pleased with him. Back to do it all again at the Boxer specialty tomorrow :D

Thanks Jodie My friend is comming along with the camera too, so I will post pics and news of how we go

Boxa i hope booka does well i will try get there but i want to get to the show tomorrow to watch a friends dog do i have enough fuel and can i find a baby sitter lol

I'm showing the 2 sibes in the UDC show tomorrow and bringing Booker along for an outing to get him used to showgrounds before his first show sunday. So come and get puppy cuddles :D

Thankyou!

Booker at the park battling with his long lead

Bondi and Booker enjoying the open space

ETA: Booker has his first show training class tonight in preparation for his first show on sunday- going to be interesting

I just came across one of your training videos with Booker and he's a gorgeous puppy! Falling over his clumsy puppy paws doing rear end awareness! How cute!

Thanks RS :D

He still needs to grow into his feet He is always tripping over them ;)

ETA: @RV: 10am sounds good for me if you are happy to have us
