I don't think we entered last years show. I was thinking that the dogs were on a large oval with plenty of room, is this not the case? Where abouts are the dogs then? BB

Hope you have a nice day everyone. BB

I know the show clashes with Bacchus show but it aint much of entry for Shepp. Looking forward to haveing plenty of space at the aggie show. By looks of the numbers we will make the Cannery after all. BB

So how was kerang everyone? Did you all have a good time? Sun shining? Does anyone have the grp 7 results by any chance????? BB

Numbers for Shepp Aggie on Oct 8 2011 are: Grp 1 Begins with 1 Grp 2 begins with 70 Grp 3 begins with 128 Grp 4 begins with 196 Grp 5 begins with 223 Grp 6 begins with 272 Grp 7 begins with 336 ends with 368. Fingers crossed for a nice sunny day. Hope to make it to the SPC Cannery afterwards. BB

Foalmor, at least you had one call to be at the judging ring. At the Melb royal I didn't hear any anouncements requesting such & such breed to the judging area. Yes Royals are certaintly a lucky dip. Whom is judging Schipps this year? I expect that there will only be four entered???? Have fun everyone BB

CONGRATS!!!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: So yoiu should be proud with those consistant wins. How about a pic of the lovelly fellow? BB

The Schipp won RUBIG twice I think and he is from SA and absolutly gorgeous looking. I think her Minor Schipp got a minor in grp there as well. Hope the rain eased off for you guys. BB

I hope everyone had a good time at Kyneton, sun was shining and some folks favourite team won the AFL. Just wondering if anyone has any results from today, especially grp 7. Thanks BB

Ohhhh boyyy Sounds like RASV may have made a booo booo. Is going to be interesting to calculate the actual group numbers for the DOL pointscore then. How did you pick that up Sway? were you bored and decided to count entries in the catalogue? BB

The Poodle looks like a poodle, the Sibe looks like a Sibe. It's amazing how much some people are asking for just a stuffed toy. BB

Did all the dog judging get completed before 5pm? The news last night said the royal was shut down at 5pm due to the lightning, thunder and heavy rain. I guess they meant mainly the rides and side show parts? Not looking forward to showing on friday if it rains, it will be hard to get the dogs through the pavilion full of public people to go to their tiny loo then back to their bench. BB

I am posting here as not everyone looks in the Market place section. Please move if need be. While searching through Ebay for soft toys for my dogs to play with I came across these Pure Bred Stuffed Animals, thought some of you may be interested in them Theres Labs, terriers, Chi's, Schnauzers, Siberians etc. Its amazing what you can find on there. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Vintage-Wood-Wool-Filled-Toy-Poodle-Wheels-/220862479877?pt=AU_Stuffed_Animals&hash=item336c6dfe05 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RSPCA-Genuine-Pawphans-Dog-Jack-Russell-New-Large-Heavy-1metre-Long-/150667074532?pt=AU_Stuffed_Animals&hash=item2314751be4 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/14-GUIDE-DOGS-QLD-TOYS-A-COLLECTION-STUFFED-DOGS-TOYS-BULK-LOT-VIEW-/160650119417?pt=AU_Stuffed_Animals&hash=item25677e48f9 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Golden-Labrador-80cm-plush-toy-/220859156705?pt=AU_Stuffed_Animals&hash=item336c3b48e1 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/stuff-toy-/280745585743?pt=AU_Stuffed_Animals&hash=item415dbdac4f http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Dalmation-SimplySoft-Collection-Keel-Toys-Lge-Plush-red-lead-101-dalmatian-/260859432676?pt=AU_Stuffed_Animals&hash=item3cbc6f0ee4 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Lot-11-Chihuahua-plushes-/150667728092?pt=AU_Stuffed_Animals&hash=item23147f14dc http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Sitting-Siberian-Husky-Puppy-Plush-Toy-Made-Hansa-/220860324304?pt=AU_Stuffed_Animals&hash=item336c4d19d0 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Hansa-Sitting-White-Wolf-Plush-Toy-/220860332162?pt=AU_Stuffed_Animals&hash=item336c4d3882 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SCHNAUZER-DOG-30cm-SOFT-PLUSH-Keel-Toys-SCAMP-TAG-/160501327476?pt=AU_Stuffed_Animals&hash=item255e9fe674 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ANTIQUE-STUFFED-LARGE-POODLE-DOG-/400245533489?pt=AU_Stuffed_Animals&hash=item5d307e2b31 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Teddy-Friends-Mater-Miracles-Dog-/150668103778?pt=AU_Stuffed_Animals&hash=item231484d062 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-x-PLUSH-TOY-DOGS-/280741900818?pt=AU_Stuffed_Animals&hash=item415d857212 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Large-Discovery-Channel-Arctic-Fox-Plush-Toy-/220864591831?pt=AU_Stuffed_Animals&hash=item336c8e37d7 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/YELLOW-PLUSH-DOG-CLIFFORD-/280741900821?pt=AU_Stuffed_Animals&hash=item415d857215 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Steiff-Husky-Plush-Toy-/220862448036?pt=AU_Stuffed_Animals&hash=item336c6d81a4 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RSPCA-Pawphan-White-Fluffy-Orphan-Puppy-Dog-Needs-Home-/200648948174?pt=AU_Stuffed_Animals&hash=item2eb79bf9ce http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/CHARMING-OLD-JOY-TOYS-AUSTRALIA-STUFFED-TOY-PUPPY-DOG-/320737546897?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aad729291 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/JACKSON-DOG-RUSS-BERRIE-/250896093425?pt=AU_Stuffed_Animals&hash=item3a6a9290f1

With the rain we have had so far how crowed is it inside the dog pavillion? Which Mini Pdle of Missens was BOB? Thanks BB

Lovely day weather wise yesterday. Was benched "downstairs" and it was lovely compared to "uptop" which I thought was a bit stifling when I did venture up there. Champion Sweepstakes: 1st (I think was a Eng Stafford or a Samoyed) the other was 2nd. 3rd was Mini Pdle-Ch Dechine Top Secret (Imp UK) 4th SCHIPPERKE CH HAPIPET ALLTHATYOUDREAM :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Yes thats my boy. 5th Weimaraner- Ch Ghostwind Legally Docked (AI) Baby Puppy Sweeps: Looked like there was hundreds entered. 1st Samoyed Lunasea We Run The Knight 2nd Weimaraner- Rifleman Beauty Before Me (Imp NZ) 3rd Collie Rough- Ikaze Future Narrative 4th JRT- Baylock Heart Of Fire 5th Samoyed- Snowispa Cameo of Sienna. My Apologies if any are wrong. Yes public did look sparse yesterday. BB

So sorry to hear of your bad day. There are so many things wrong with the Melb Royal and if only a couple of people write a letter of complaint perhaps the RASV is thinking "its only a couple of people so we don't worry about it." BUT............. what if ALL exhibitors got a petition together and presented it to the President of the RASV or similiar about ALL of our concerns. Maybe the RASV might listen. BB

Thaks I will try Vebo. I would of thought that some places would stock extra trays incase they were broken in transit. BB

Thanks for that Rebanne, looks to be such a small show, everyone will be home just after midday I expect. Good luck with your 5 Greys. BB

A friend whose doing doggy danceing on the last day got a letter saying no parking at Flemington Racecourse on that day due to a horse meet. Even suggested she take a tram or train?? How are you suppossed to catch one with all the gear you take? I also got the email from the RASV, didn't keep it though. Good luck to those whom are entered on this day. BB

Thanks for the ideas. Gee some of them certaintly have cosy kennels. Ours sleep indoors at night on the couch, I was just wondering what to put in the outdoor kennels to keep them warm during the day IF they use them and something that wont make a mess all over the yard. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-Wood-Kennel-Dog-House-Small-/110743377043?pt=AU_Pet_Supplies&hash=item19c8d1d493 This is the type we have. BB

I'll give ya the Schippies and I am also there on Ch sweeps & baby puppy Sweepstakes so hopefully I will remember to give the results. Any one else doing these sweepstakes?? BB

Hi Folks, I was wondering what do you have in your dog's kennel to keep them warm? Our kennels are in the back yard on semi lawn. (They are slowly destroying the grass :( ) I did go to Op shops/charities and buy single bed blankets or throw rugs BUT................... Our youngest is 8 months old and thought they make better tug toys than actual bedding. They end up on the dirt and ripped to shreds that there's no point in think about washing them. Does anyopne else have other ideas of what to put in two kennels??????????????? Thanks BB

[quote name='Rebanne' timestamp='1316309993' post='5499311' I've never a broken tray (yet!) but I would just put a couple of extra blankets in the crate and sit it on a tarp at a show. ETA all my crates have been off ebay /quote] Thanks Rebanne, our 8 month old girl came into season early while on a show circuit and we had to sleep her in the crate inside the car (while the boys were in the trailer) and she hadn't been seperated from all the others before so she took her frustrations out on her tray & blanket.(She is a Schipp). We use the crates in the back of the wagon for transport and I do put a dog mattress or pillow onto the tray for comfort. I don't think a banket on the bottom of the wire part of the crate would be that comfortable? BB

I just purchased PEDI PAWS off ebay $10 and if my black dogs with black nails prefer that over the guilatine type nail clippers then I might look into the Dremmel. Also on Ebay for a variety prices. Did see them in a $2 shop brand new for $12 in my area. We had a boy who hated his feet touched right from the time he was puppy, we even drugged him once but even then he was still too strong and carried on. (perhaps we waited too long or not long enough who knows. Did wait 40 mins). Good luck BB

A little bit Off Topic, BUT............................ where do you find replacement trays for your crates?????? (when you needed to) I have small wire crates and my girl broke the tray into bits I have contacted one ebay seller and they can't buy the trays seperatly, I don't want to have to contact EVERY seller to find one. I have posted in the DOL marketplace & classifieds section asking for spare parts. The tray measures 42cm wide 57cm long and 4cm deep. Thanks guys BB
