The pics on the news look like an ACD but they are saying Dingo Fox Terrier cross...... At least the news reports seems to be making more of the assault than the dog bite

Well our little rising star has exceeded all expectations Introducing Takimbre Noble Warrior 'Brockie' is 4 months old today and has 7 Baby Puppy In Groups to his name under all breeds and specialist judges at both metro and country shows

OMG, I just went back and looked the The Book Worm...I have never thought to be on the look out inside the house.

SC your phone number is in my phone just in case. I do worry living alongside Kananook Creek but so far no sightings so if I have a resident he must keep to himself....yay

DOLers Rock Good to read that your girls doing so much better

So upset I couldnt enter, I will be judging a speciality in NZ

Just looked at the copperhead sequence....they are so impressive. I am terrified but in awe of snakes, I wish I had the confidence to handle one.

That tiger snake is gorgeous.......

There are always three sets of facts.............party 1, party 2 and the truth remember this situtation is about a *friend* not the op so its already possibly 2nd hand

It is hard for anyone to actually comment without the FACTS

timid = border collies ???? hardly in my years judging I have only ever had two dogs have a go at me and both were border collies but i love borders and would have one in a heartbeat if I had the right property

I have been breeding GSD's since 1980 and this particular kennels have really impressed me. We stopped breeding them about 6 years ago. Their knowledge and concern over their babies is fantastic. My daughter bought this pup and they even rang me to make sure it was ok for her to get it. At the time they had read her web page that she did at 13yo and didnt realise it was an old one.

So who is going to tell the snakes what is their area?

We have a 4 month old male GSD from Takimbre Kennels in NSW. Their advice is great. They follow up and their puppy pack is incredible. Lots of food, vitamins, wormers, shampoo, training videos. Brock has an amazing temperment so I highly recommend giving Col and Shirley a call. I think you will find them on DOL profiles

Hi LizT what breed do you have?

I hate to tell y ou but the Mayor seems to think Fed Square will be blocked off for a few days while they repair the damages caused by the rabble

I had a message from someone that they are outside....not sure if that will still be current, I hope not I dont want to lug everything

GRD that is great, and I wasn't having a go at anyone, it just seems from way down south that there isn't any procedures. Our Stewards association said this week that they have not been issued with anything yet. Your interpretation is what I was thinking but after being told by two different people in the VCA Office who are also show secretaries that there is a Neuter Best In Group etc I got totally confused. BTW I have been running large metropolitan all breeds shows with entries over 1000 for over 15 years and also gave a show secretaries lecture to aspiring show secretaries.

Personally I think the people who put the classes in had the right idea but they cannot be involved in running shows or else they would have put procedures in place and published them

And this was from another person at the same office Yes, they compete for Neuter Best in Group, etc. etc Perhaps the following ANKC Reg will assist: SECTION 3 Neuter Classes (05/01) 3.1 Classes 15, 16, 17 & 18 shall be optional Classes at any ANKC Ltd official show. 3.2 Classes 15,16,17 & 18 shall be ineligible to compete against entire exhibits for Challenge or Best of Breed awards. (Amended 10/09, 8.9) 3.3 Classes 15,16,17 & 18 shall be judged at breed level after Best of Breed and any Class elimination judging. 3.4 Classes 15,16,17 & 18 shall be judged at both Group and Show level immediately after Class 11. 3.5 Only dogs or bitches registered with an ANKC Ltd Member Body as a “neuter” on the main register shall be eligible to compete in either Class 15,16,17 or 18. (Amended 10/01) 3.6 A neuter is a dog or bitch that has been desexed either by castration or ovarian hysterectomy and is rendered infertile. This does not include vasectomies

GRD I have just had conflicting advice from the VCA copied and pasted directly from my email response As I said – only Best Neuter in Group and In Show – no minor classes at all.. just like a Champion class at Open Shows..

Well in the catalogues for this weekend, I have not put a space for best nueter in group but I have allowed a space for Best Junior Neuter and Best Open Neuter....so it looks like I got something right

There is a sign on a path through the bush between my place and the beach that a 4ft tiger snake was seen on the path earlier this week....just a warning for people to be aware.

yes, but I catalogued them in class number order....so 10, 11, 16, 18 then the same for bitches.

a guide would be fantastic. I have catalogued 2 shows in group - breed - class number order but then find out that all the entire classes get judged first and then the neuter classes. Going by that I should have put all the entire classes then a sub heading neuter and then the neuter classes. Next time????
