Did anyone see last nights Ep? lauren & Jack?? Lauren turned out to be a milatary wife and hoarded while her husband was OS, she was talked into giving up her animals then had the house proffessionally cleaned (don't know ho paid for it) then her husband came home two weeks later and she didn't tell him what went on. She had a dog give birth on her couch while her friend told her to put something sanitary under the dog but she wouldn't listen,one pup was still born so she dug a very shallow grave out front & buried it. She took a dog with parvo to her friends house then it died and her friends dog got sick and later in the Intervention Lauren said it wasn't her fault!!! Yes it was lady!!!! Jack had about 45 dogs outside & several inside & he had depression, and he couldn't go anywhere as the dogs outside would fight. Does anyone know what breed these dogs were? They all looked quite similiar. Labs? White Swiss Shepherds?? Jack eventually gave most up to an organization that helps in resocializing dogs. BB

AWWWWWWWWWWWWW she is just gorgeous. I love the spitz breeds when they still have their ears half up & half down. Are you going to take her to an Obedince club for training & socialising? There is a Shiba Inu brother & sister at the club we go to and they are so clever but like any spitz breed stubborn at times. BB

I wish we had entered this one as its close to home but missed the deadline. Good Luck everyone. BB

We got Vicdog in the mail today. (we are in melb) has a Labrador on the cover. BB

HI All, I just checked my email (before coming here) and found the email below. Did anyone else get it? Or know of clubs that got it? Is it a legit protest? Thanks BB Dear Sir/Madam I would like to invite you and your club along to our Protest Rally on Breed Specific legislation. It is taking place on Sunday 28th of October in Melbourne (Steps of Parliament House) Starting around 12 pm. We would like you to consider if you have not already the actions of the Victorian Government in introducing this ineffective and ill thought out legislation and it being a knee jerk reaction to a complex problem of lowering bite statistics in this state. Many other countries have had or do have BSL (Breed Specific Legislation) in various forms. I will refer to you as case like Italy that, before it repealed the law, had 92 various breeds on its target list! Is your Breed next? Will Australia head in the same direction? I would hope we could change this legislation if enough people realize the effect it is having on dog lovers in this state and potentially the rest of Australia .Also its ineffectiveness at actually reducing bite statistics! It already has caused an immense amount of emotional pain and has cost the rate/tax payer hundreds of thousands of dollars. We think the implementation of other more effective measures like those of the Calgary Model in Canada, would have a greater all round impact on our canine community . I hope to see you and or a club representative/s there on the day to show the Victorian government that concerned dog owners of all breeds want change!

Papers sent off now to wait 3-4 weeks for papers to come back. I am not keen on his names but OH was stubborn. Didn't end up using any of the suggestions Sorry. BB

Yes its supposed to be for all breeders. BB

Thanks everyone, we have submitted his registration adn now have to wait. OH was stubborn and went for name of song that Billy is named after. Rodger Waters: Radio Waves. BB

I have seen several eps from the Animal Planet so far. Either at night or at 3pm. In Melb. Some people do get carried away with their animals. It would be hard to select 85 out 216 cats to keep. BB

Our numbers arrived yesterday (Thurs). Yes I too wish for breed breakdown although I can guess who & how many are entered. Hopefully all the ladies will respect the change rooms this year & leave them clean, was a pain changing in the toilet block IN the benching area. Any chance there could be more stall holders selling doggy stuff? Hope so. BB

Edgesmum, I was only joking when I said if late entries could be taken. My breed had a good judge to start with & still does now that we have a replacement. BB

So The Swedish judge is doing grp 7 but the Irish judge is doing the Grp 7 Breeder team? IS that correct? Wonder if they'll take late entries? Probably not. BB

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will see what OH thinks of them. BB

Hi All, I have a pup that needs registering & I would like to mash his parents names together to come up with his name. Apparently OH named him after the singer BILLY RAY VAUGHN (SP??) Can anyone help me?? Mum is LIKE A HURRICAN Dad is BELEIVE IT OR NOT. Prefix is H*****T Thank you BB

I think the OP said they had a Tibetan Spaniel X not the Tibetan Terrier. There is a Tibetan Spaniel called Sylvia in Melbourne who is does Agility pairs with a Schipperke I bred. She can be mighty stubborn if she doesn't feel like jumping. Her owner is surprised that she actually got an Agility title to her name. Our breed club in Melb holds two Agility trials, one mainly for small guys (since the breed is small) and an Open trial for all heights of dogs but the small ones get 10% extra time. Good luck BB

Why?? What happened to the judges that were announced earlier in the year? BB

I hope it hasn't been too cold down there. Can some one please tell me which Schipp got RUBIG on Friday? Thank you. BB

Dekadent, so glad to hear you had a fantastic souple of days. I gather you are showing a Frenchie? How did you go? One day we can catch up when I actually enter a show. BB

Thank you Oakaway. I wasn't sure when they were being judged. BB

I just looked and I can't find the Schipperke results, does anyone know when & whom by they will be judged by? Thank you BB

CONGRATULATIONS Ophanbark on your baby in show win, wish I was there to see it. May Queenie win more for you. COBGRATS everyone else whom won. BB

HI all, Is anyone heading to the Tullamore Kennel shows that are part of the Central west Circuit? http://mydogs.com.au/condobolincircuit/central-west-schedule.asp Do you have a partner going with you that doesn't want to handle or sit around doing nothing? How about if they STEWARD for a show or just a group? The secretary asked if my OH was able to this year BUT he is staying home. If you can help please contact the secretary ASAP. Thank you BB

WOW does anyone know group numbers yet? What a great entry if they needed to split some groups. BB

So proud of the boy we bred wining his first RUBIS at the this show. Well done Zane!!!!!! Some very nice dogs in the line up. BB
