Stumbled on this and the poem, change for changes sake isn't always a good thing... "On a recent poke around the 2nd hand bookstore in Corryong, I found a little treasure written by Neil Hulm. "Where the Snow Grass Grows". His family has had a strong connection and presence in the mountains since before it became a park. I wanted to share one of his poems. A MOUNTAIN HERITAGE LOST Could I be told what a heritage is, Surely it's something we see, Is it to hold, or give away? That's not the way it strikes me. We must have parks, reserves and such, essential, I would think we all agree, But without any votes, a handful of blokes Can close land, from the Plains to the Sea. A fair control is a different role, But the grazing stopped, shut down. Have you ever known of country men For heritage, close down a town? PACK HORSES, PACK SADDLES, GREEN HIDE ROPES, HUTS, SALT LOGS AND HORSE PADDOCK RAILS, STOCKYARDS, DOGS, SHEEP AND CATTLE, AND LONELY STEEP STOCK TRAILS!! Bush fires now burn red hot and turn to black dust, that was thick grass and sticks. Controlled burn was slow on lease years ago, The snow grass remained firm and thick. One heritage strongly guarded, While another one thrown away. In the same place, on the mountain face One banished, the other will stay. Swarms of bees in the Snow Gum trees, Honey birds hover and sing, The beautiful scent from the heather And the herbage that flowers in Spring. 'HUTS, SALT LOGS, HORSE PADDOCK RAILS, STOCK TRAILS, LONELY AND STEEP!!' SURELY, AN AUSTRALIAN HERITAGE LOST, WE FOUGHT FOR, BUT FAILED TO KEEP. Neil Hulm Cochran Horse Treks Peter on Sparkie at the Man from Snowy River Festival Reenactment 2019. National parks so badly managed we watched them burn from Victoria to Sydney, billions of native animals died along with rfs volunteers and families, all land once managed by locals until seized by Govt and given to idiots to mismanage.. Same is happening to all pet owners, govt micromanagement to the point PETA spokesperson boasted "legislation passed to date has been so successful l we anticipate domestic dogs and cats will be extinct within this generation " Sadly you may be documenting the end days of pet ownership if pet owners and blindsided pollies don't wake up in time, or is it too late already?

When I was a kid in the 1950's any cattle dog that didn't have any eye patches was called a Merle. (Absolutely nothing to do with the coat colour of other breeds) Has been so until fairly recently, until people have began calling them clear faced... Bit like the changes in describing a horse's height. 14 hands is 14 X 4 inches. 14.2 hh is 14x 4 inches and 2 inches above that high. Now we see idiots putting 14.5 hh. Hands is not a metric measurement. how on earth can you metric 14.2 1/2 hands high??? It's 2 1/2 inches higher than 14 hands. My stallion Nea was measured at Sydney Royal 14.3 3/4 hands high. iE one quarter of an inch under 15 hands high... Query the advertiser who put metric after . They have a hissy fit. Say Merle today and the clear faced brigade argue that gene isn't in the breed. It isn't.. the word for over a hundred years meant no patches not even a small black dot. Perhaps the question is, tradition or rewriting the past for new political correctness? .

Hilton Sinclair of Berrilyn kennels told me nearly 50 years ago, at the time he was one of the oldest ACD prefixes . he said the spot had been passed down by a very popular dog named Bentley, pretty remarkable really. But some genes can pass like that if only one copy is needed to express it.

Bentley mark is on the forehead of all cattledog's It's neither a type or breed

Yes, only positive reward has been a real winner in the schools

Found that amusing, if the planned extinction is on track there will be few to none left anyway Market gone anyway

The ANKC of the state your pup was bred (ie if in Victoria, Dogs VIC, in NSW Dogs NSW, in Qld, Dogs QLD and so on). will contact the breeder to get a wriggle on and send your registration certificate

True insurance far as I've seen insured any puppy have never asked to see registration certificate. As for being late arriving Any number of reasons, computer glitches, late deciding on puppy names, the most frustrating of all . . . Certificates arrive, put in "safe place" n can't remember where Guarantee after u give up and get replacement ones, the missing magically turn up . . .

Somehow I doubt neither the manipulated politicians or Australian public will wake up before it's too late to save domestic dogs and cats from the extinction, the PETA spokesperson boasted in 2020 "is on track within this generation " .

Had an interesting conversation with a lady this weekend She had decided to get a bitch of her favourite breed to show and later breed. Joined dogs NSW, sat the required breeders exam 12 months later to then after passing register her prefix. Next she was inspected by the ANKC liaison officer to ensure she complied with the POCTA legislation for registered breeders. To her amazement she learnt that her live in the house pet/show/ potential brood girl, had to not only have her designated 6 foot high kennel and run, as well a well seperated an isolation quarantine kennel area, signage with her vets name and contact number. Written fire and flood evacuation plan, fire extinguisher and number of employees of her "business".... I do remember when I was inspected for POCTA compliance thinking " surely this is drafted that to pass, you ARE now a puppy farm.". The very monster's to be eliminated???? So I fully understand her shock and revulsion of the whole experience... Screams now a witch hunt Target Surely Not surprisingly she has decided wants no part of this scenario. Her girl will be desexed after she has bred an unregistered litter to keep one for the future and desex and pet home those she won't keep. . another lost to the breed and rapidly shrinking gene pool Exactly as PETA planned and boasted is on track in 2020....

many panic these days and they have absolutely no idea how to behave when presented with a loose dog new neighbour came to say hello with two daughters, my chihuahua ran up to say hi and the the children were so afraid they tried to climb their mother. mum? screaming in fright set off any dog behaving like that, more so dogs bred to guard, disaster looking for a good spot. my chi was so confused by their screaming ran to me for comfort

Have admit seen similar on sheep and cattle stations as a kid Although the dogs and mum's usually had a massive hollow log each as a kennel as protection from heat and cold

Remarkable, Dog breeding Artic, Inuit style The water behind the mum is frozen, the bonnie pups in their sand nest near the end of mums chain are 3 weeks old, 5 girls one boy its at the end of the documentary remarkable too see, we forget the puppies are from the 45 minute mark. https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/watch/1985674819565

Maybe set aside seating area at the back where large crate can be beside owner?

Been happening for decades Off leash is recipe for disaster eventually Form of canine Russian roulette

I wonder what is behind the change in NSW all puppies at 12 weeks must be life registered? Rules out the desexed discount unless done before 12 weeks locking the pups into all the health problems inherent in early desexing Why are idiots being allowed the Power to make such cruel laws without challenge? It's research has been public knowledge for decades now that early desexing before puberty adds $7,000 in vet bill over the lives of such puppies

My uncle Peter bought his father in law's sheep station at Inverell after really severe drought . After rain finally came he restocked it with very aged ewes, he was a city raised the locals were laughing their heads off when they arrived but Peter said to my parents, even if I only get 3 lambings from them, they are culled for ages stud ewes so the best of the best of their year, all were already in lamb. When the classer went through the fleeces the next year it was Peter laughing. He also bought two dogs with them, an older well trained and younger trained. He said the dogs knew exactly what to do , best buy he made too. Adored his sheep dog's His toughest task was learning to ride his new horse, Blue But he soon learnt

Well remember Ivor Slezachek BVSc telling me that "Mt Druit was the biggest vector of unvaccinated dogs and cat's in the Sydney basin. After a strong Easterly he would be getting up to a dozen a day with parvo being brought to his surgery in Stafford St Penrith." So plenty of unvaccinated dogs in Penrith too....

A puppy stolen in Penrith and discovered trying to cross a six lane highway in Liverpool was identified by her microchip and owner notified to come pick her up

I find the figures laughable considering a friend working for the rspca put more bodies in the incinerator in one day than quoted for a year's fatalies in greyhounds? Where is the fury for that? Even worse he discovered after already putting the majority in that a big one still had a pulse when picked up by the leg. Upon checking those still in the trolley every one over a certain weight all had a pulse. When he reported this, was told "Don't worry the Don't feel a thing, if we gave all the big ones a full dose we would go broke" He lost it and fled...was pretty hysterical by the time he came to see me. told me and said he can't go public as he had signed a document of non disclosure so gagged. I never told anyone at the time. Was too scared. No idea who did tell the papers but although printed and on the news nothing came of it.. Forget the year

How nice At least she is chipped
