Fingers crossed for a Shih Tzu litter due approx 23rd. Ebony in booked in for an ultrasound next Friday.

I stay at gatehead. It's less then 10 mins away.

My baby was baby in show. He showed so well very proud of baby Gus.

I use a check chain on my 15 month old shih tzu. He was shown last night at Darwin royal.

We had a great night last night. My boy was colbey was best of breed and junior in group , my baby Gus was baby in group and miss Lilly was bitch cc/ runner up best of breed. Looking forward to generals tonight.

Lol itsmeg I was thinking the same thing. I fly into Darwin Thursday night. Can't wait.

Yay my numbers arrived today. Only a week to go. Looking forward to meeting all u Darwin people.

Hi guys liking forward to meeting all of you. I don't need a handler but may need someone to keep a dog neat while I show the baby lol. Anyone else coming from interstate? Have numbers been sent out? I haven't recieved anything yet.

It's just over a week away. We are heading up from Sydney with 3 tzus. So who else is going, would love to catch up with some Darwin dolers. Anyone else making the long trip?

How did everyone go yesterday ? Was a great day for us, my boy Colbey (Ch Beltzu Catch That Dream) was best of breed and junior in group with my girl Lilly (Beltzu PS I Love You) was bitch cc. Baby Gus (Beltzu Its All About Me) was baby of breed shortlisted for 3-6 months sweepstakes.

Thanx Alvosha I have 4 tzus entered saturday, with only 5 entered, fingers crossed for my girl as she needs the points. Bel

I'd love to go to this show again as I did it last year and had a great time, but I'll be in Darwin for the royal. Good luck to all who go, take lots of warm clothes it was freezing last year.

Hi ssm, is there a break down of breeds? If so how many toy poodles and how many shih tzus? Thank heaps

Does anyone have their numbers back? I'm only entered Saturday but haven't recieved my numbers.

Hi everyone another doler brag here. My shih tzu girl went best of breed, shortlisted for best in group / puppy in group and was in the final 3 for puppy in show. Bronte was handled in show by her co-owner and by me for group. Congrats to all the winners. Your dogs all looked wonderful in the ring.

I'll be there all 3 days. Its my baby puppy's first weekend in the show ring. If you see a little Shih Tzu baby walking around come and say hi. (His name is Gus)

Yesterday at Bathurst & District ABKC , my home bred boy Beltzu Catch That Dream(Colbey) gained his final points towards his title in great style. Not only getting a 15 point Best of Breed he went Reserve Best In Group/ Junior In Group. All this was under breed specialist Mrs Helen Furber. Colbey is my 9th home bred champion, the 1st for his sire and the 9th for his dam. He is also the the 11 dog I have either shown or co-owned to recieve their title. Not to be out done by her big brother Miss Lilly (Beltzu PS I Love You) goes bitch cc (11 points) and then goes Puppy in Group. Thanx for letting me brag Bel.

Thanks for the reply, chiquito. So sorry to hear about you boy. Pugsly has also been diagnosed with a grade 2 heart mumor, which the vet put down to the sudden weight loss. This has me worried as well his father died of heart failure about 6 years ago. I will be speaking to my vet either tomorrow or when i take the babies in for their first needles on friday.I will ask her about the ATCH taken over 8 hours. Thanks again for you reply. Bel

Thanks heaps for the reply Erny. I will be speaking to my vet when She rings with Pugsly's lastest blood results. In himself, you wouldnt even know he was sick. He still runs around with the other dogs, and loves to play with the 7 week old babies. Money is no problem, but I want him to have a quality life. We are in Sydney, so I dont know whch specialist my vet will refer him to. I would prefer to take him to SASH or ARH (North Ryde) as I have dealt with the eye and neuro specialists there in the past with other dogs and was extremely happy. Again Thank you for the reply and I know we have a hugh disission to make. This is My Beautiful Boy taken about 8 weeks ago.

My old boy, Pugsly, a 13.5 year old silky cross bred has just been diagnosed with a mass on his adrenal gland. He went to the vet for weight loss (over 1kg in 6 months), bloods showed elevated liver enzymes so she booked him in for a specialist ultrasound, which was done yesterday. We are waiting for his results of his ATCH stim test to come back. Please keep my boy in your thoughts. My vet was talking about surgery to remove the mass but I dont know if i want to put my boy through this. Has anyone done this with an older dog?
