I can tell you who got RUBIG 1 on Sunday ..... ME :D BIG Pom (sydney lady again) RUBIG Havanese (Ransom) BIS Dally (Besof) RUBIS Fox Terrier (Rowles) ?? I think IIS Akita (Buckley/Parker) The Clumber also got a class in show.

I just received an email from Estelle Nix, saying that Melbourne Royal entries are still open (19 July), either by mail or online. There wasn't a closing date listed. Gail

I should have checked the last post before scanning Shimmer's profile with a magnifying glass looking for the d*mn facebook button

I entered after 5, and got a receipt, so hoping my entries are OK. (I forgot until reminded at the last minute) I like the toileting area at Melb. It is much, much better than the toileting areas at Brisbane and Sydney. The part I do hate though is that we cant take trolleys into the assembly area, so have to leave our remaining dogs in the trolley in the public area while we show one dog, then rush out of the ring, out of the assembly area, push through the crowd to the trolley and try and swap dogs over and get back into the ring before being called absent

Ooh goody. Eridor is usually exhibiting in the lower rings, so you definately need someone wearing one in the toy rings ;) .

I saw an exhibitor wearing one at a show in Canberra today, so I am guessing you dont need any more Canberran Walking Coathangers LOL

Photos have started appearing on Ffire website. General specials day photos are here: http://www.ffirephotography.com/16719277

Anyone there yet to let us know the order of group judging? I am still 90 mins away

Anyone know why? I am dreading getting there early to prepare, then finding we are on last!!

Anyone have a suggestion for accomodation for Sunday night, near to the grounds. I need to go back for general specials, and dont have anything organised oops - changed EKKA to grounds LOL

Ffiona Erskine, Ffire Photography is the Sydney Royal Photographer this year. Website: www.ffirephotography.com. Ffiona is also on Facebook. Just read this notice on the "official photographers" website - I hope that next years "official photographer" will be willing & able to post the BOB pics whilst the show is actually on. Very disappointing Sydney Royal Easter Show 2011 Dog Section ... We are looking forward to the opportunity to meet and photograph some of the best dogs in the country. One of the most exciting opportunites of my life. A Foot note ! Images from the Sydney Royal Easter show will be available to be viewed AFTER the show is over and will not be seen on any social media such as facebook. Thank you for your patience and understanding, I will keep everyone posted . Actually if you witnessed the effort this photographer is putting in, 12 hour+ days and the extra mile she is going to get a photo the exhibitor is happy with, you might stop shaking your head and actually have a little respect. It's not just a matter of click and upload, there is editting etc that will happen also. I agree. the photographer was fantastic and had plenty of patience and help to get my dog looking good. I dont know when people think they are supposed to edit and upload photos during the show - photographers need sleep too LOL. (and compared to last year, when the photographer was often absent, this year is a huge improvement)

Thanks Trish. He got the FIRST EVER 25 point breed challenge for Havanese in Australia, so I am especially proud

It took me a year to find one (and I got it from the spring fair web site - Dogs NSW dont provide one!) I cant attach it as it is over 200K, so if you PM me your email address, I will send it to you Gail

Sorry to hear about your loss Sweet-E-Newf RIP Hammy

Yes. They were. Oh yes :D Some one with chocolates found us - twice adn we bought - twice I thought that friends shared chocolate with friends!!!! :p

Yes. They were. Oh yes :D

I looked for you after Toys finished - two laps around the hound ring but I couldnt find you We looked for you too to try and offload some chocs so we didn't take them home! Hounds finished before Toys and you were deep in Toy Specials when we spotted you. Then we went home. ;) Aaah - 'splains why I couldn't find you! Were they good chocolates?

Still in fashion for Gundogs! Must remember my shottie for tomorrow ........

I will be there, and seeing this post have just decided to set up at the hound ring ;) :D It's where all the cool people are. Are you saying that Toy people aren't cool . Since when did crimplene suits and crotcheted vests go out of fashion??

Dont worry, he is still a pup, so cant eat a whole house yet

I have seen TOPPUG and TOPTOY

Animals lodged in containers too small for the animal’s size will not be accepted by AaE. The container must be big enough to allow your pet to stand without touching the top of the container, turn around and lie down comfortably. * If the container does not meet this requirement the animal may be subject to unnecessary pain and suffering. Where, in the reasonable opinion of AaE, the container is considered to be inappropriately small, AaE may refuse to carry your pet. So, when are they bringing in this rule for people too!! I want to be able to move my legs and not have my knees impregnated in the seat in front, and would like to be able to stand up (in the location of my seat) but cant . Maybe I will travel as a pet instead ps as for lying down comfortably, they have a way to go with that for the hooman passengers ;)
