Feebeez

This talk of puppies is killing me .... 7 more sleeps to go. wooohooo!

OK since everyone is being so quiet on here I thought I would start a discussion

What would you do in following situation...

I need to transport 3 dogs to a show on the weekend, two adults who usually sit on the back seat and a puppy who at the moment travels in a crate (which is currently set up on the back seat ) Car is a 4WD but I also need to take 2 other crates and the rest of the showing gear with me. The drive takes just under an hour.

Options are:

1) Keep crate on back seat and try and set up the very back so the adult dogs can sit there on top of the other crates and gear.

2) See if crate for puppy can fit into the back on top of the other crates and have adult dogs on the back seat - in which case the pup won't be visible to the human passengers

3) As for 2 but have the back seats folded down - which could cause a problem with securing gear.

3) Use dog trailer and put adult dogs in there

4) Use dog trailer and put crates and other gear in there with the dogs riding in the car

5) Have all three dogs on the back seat with puppy out of the crate

6) Have adult dogs on the back seat and puppy on the front seat in the passengers lap :lol:

So, which would you choose and why?

It wouldn't have been an issue except Banjo is now coming down as well to do some jumping training

That sounds complex! Could the extra gear go in the footwells of the back seats with the (collapsed) crates on their edges, leaning up against the front seats?

Feebeez, Coco is lovely!

Anyone feeling puppy clucky and wants a cure? We have entered the eating everything (including me...) stage

So far we have lost one charger cord (which was charging my phone at the time and she barely had time to even grab it! And unfortunately she is the first puppy to have decided that the old rocking horse was edible Course Mum came and told me when I was clipping a horse that she had started chewing it, I asked if she had moved it and was told no but she would go and do so soon... Fast forward to me finishing clipping the horse and we now have a very nice deglove of a hind leg. I removed said rocking pony from said puppy's reach!

Oh dear! How old is your bundle of terror?

Hi Feebeez - is that one of Koda and Axle's puppies? I know them from dog sledding and they are beautiful dogs! Enjoy your new pup

She sure is! LOL ... I should have read all of the posts before I started replying.

Uh-oh bad Jive! :laugh:

Coco is gorgeous Feebeez (Pheobe was the name of one of my groomers GSPs and she is the same colour as Coco) :D

That is a funny coincidence! (I am actually a Fiona, Feebee came about as a nickname when I worked with anohter Fiona. We became FeeA and FeeB)

Hi everyone, we are rather impatiently waiting for our puppy (a GSP) to arrive ... only 14 days to go.

I am trying to work out from the DogsWest schedule if there is anything on this weekend that we can go and watch. I *think* there is a retrieving event on, but I don't think it is at Dogs West, and I can't work out where it is happening. We're very interesting in going to watch. Can anyone give me any details about it? Thanks :)

Feebeez - if you want to see some GSPs doing something different, come and have a look at the WA Sleddog Sports Assoc race in Gnangara on the 26th/27th May. If you google WASSA you will see details closer to the date.

Hi Tubmleweed, we do intend coming to see some sledding, just haven't managed to get there yet (the kids will keep getting birthday invitations that clash!) If you are into sledding then you would know Coco's Mum & Dad (Axel and Coda, owned by Michelle)

Thanks Mason!

Yep, we are smitten with the breed CrazyCresties. Yesterday we were able to select our pup from the litter of 13. Here is our little Coco. Can't wait to bring her home and have sleepless nights and the house in chaos :D

It's at Arthur River, sorry I don't know more details than that. Next Sunday the retrieving trial is at Upper Swan I do know the directions to that :)

Ahh, thanks for the info. Arthur River is a bit far away! Upper Swan is much more do-able, but I think our weekend is already full

A lot of what you mention sound like symptoms of anxiety.

Not sure if this has already been mentioned....
