Thanks Sway. I'm not entered but am coming down to help with a couple of Wei babies

I was told... BIG 2 - Airedale RUBIG 2 - Kerry Blue Baby Puppy in Group 3 - Pointer (Go Pointernuts & Olivia!!) Would love to hear some more Terrier results

I'll look forward to seeing some results! I hear it's a big entry

Me too, I love mine

Well done with your Amstaff

Mud was last year, I remember having Brian wrapped in a towel waiting for sweepstakes Great weekend, although we couldn't find a shop in Albury that sold gumboots on a Friday night Am hoping to make it up there again, love the venue

Jeez, thats an impressive JRT entry!! Wouldn't mind having a squizz at the catalouge if you bring one home and Happy Birthday too!

freundhund, I think you will find that it was Angelsun who commented on the Bikini's and judges comments on dogs, not Eric

I would have thought the issue would be more to do with bite thresholds than temperament. For a dog bred to kill vermin, a good startle reflex, quick reactions and a readiness to bite would have been assets. A dog that defends itself.. wonderful!!! Problems only arise when people don't respect those characteristics and expect dogs to act like stuffed toys, especially around kids that grab and pin. I have no desire to ever own a terrier but I sincerely hope that breeders don't breed out of them what makes them unique (and what their fanciers love) in the first place. My older girl Pippa is a fantastic hunter. But I would not say she has a readiness to bite. She is quick when hunting, she chases and only bites when she has to for a catch and kill, she knows when to and doesn't run after mice snapping. You are right in saying people don't respect their characteristics, they are small, but they are a hunting breed. I have no intention in breeding JRT's who have no desire to hunt, play and be terriers. None at all. They are what they are, a small active breed who love to hunt, play and sleep. Not usually in that order .

Wow. I was going to keep out of this but can't ignore the bolded part above. It makes me so mad that people come into these discussions and turn JRT's into monsters who will bite when bored and turn nasty. I grew up around JRT's, family members owned them before I did and I have not once been bitten by one. They do not turn nasty because they are bored, in my experience, the ones who are nasty little buggers are the ones who people lable as JRT's because they are brown and white little dogs, just bred for the hell of it with no regard for temprement. JRT breeders are doing a hell of a lot of work to breed for type and temprement. Yes there are some purebred JRT's who have iffy temprements, but I think that can be found in most breeds. Mine enjoy their walk every day, they swim in the warm weather, and right now, they are all asleep on ther back verandah. They are not on the go 24/7, they relax. If a bird comes into the yard, they will chase it out. If there is no bird to chase, they sleep in the sun. Some JRT's can be over the top, but not ALL of them, people need to stop bagging the breed because of the traits of some individual dogs.

SpikesPuppy has a bit of a brag from today

Thank you for the results!!!

Hmmm, I'll start practicing that, never seen a table breed done anyway except 'placed and positioned' and then free baited or have I? I'll have to look more closely and carefully. Ta I free stack my older JRT on the table, much easier for me because she hates being hand stacked and will make herself look crap! I put her on the back of the table, walk in front and free bait like I would on the ground, she walks up and stacks herself. I may have to move a foot now and then, but most often she will do it herself. She picked it up quite easy and being a terrier I get much more expression and interest out of her doing it this way. I can't do it with all of my dogs though as some don't hold their tails right up and need a bit of a hand.

Wooo!! Same day My boss will be very happy to hear that!
