whatevah Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 (edited) I wouldn't mind tagging along to a herding day. I don't think Tia is cut out for flyball, Edited July 6, 2008 by whatevah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menacebear Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 I'm up for as much herding as i can afford to do. Belle might do flyball one day but she is no where near as enthused about it as Bear plus i have the issue of trying to get her to training each week so that she can get a level 2 pass and it's really hard around work. Flip i'm sure you'll stop being bored with flyball as soon as we compete again. It's just a really long wait with the geelong one getting rained out.

Jamaica Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 im cool, ill still do flyball, have to spend my money on something, my ball n chain is gone so more money for me, so definatly do herding with the b/c's as well. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menacebear Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 Well Flip if you have lots of extra cash you can always dontate it to the buy sheepers and live closer together fund that Clover and I are starting. That way your hard earned money will go to a great cause!!! And i'm sure we'll let you use our sheepers for practising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachelleBuck Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) I never knew those two clubs did herding training. Elmore is up near Bendigo and takes about 2 hours from Melbourne. It is $20.00 per person every second weekend. I will have to look into the other two clubs though. ETA: Anyone with a australian working breed dog can attend. ie: Border Collie, kelpie, Koolie, Cattle dog or crosses Edited July 1, 2008 by RachelleBuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamaica Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I think tia and belle will make great flyball dogs, remember its not just about speed, its about doing something with your dogs, but you get so much satisfaction doing all the hard work and on comp day they do a clean run. herding is totally the oppisite where your dogs need to be calm and methodical(spell check please) and its such an art and so much fun.

The 'Got Sheep?' fund needs work i think, needs sheep and $$$s and somehwere to keep said sheep . One day though it will happen. If Harri can learn Flyball and to bring the ball back to me, anyone or anydog can learn Flyball . RachelleBuck, do you have anymore info on the club at Elmore?

RachelleBuck Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 The herding at Elmore is run by the koolie club or australia. If you jump on their forum you will be able to get the info on the next session (I believe it is Saturday week, starting at 8.30am) http://koolie.net/exons/index.php?

menacebear Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 What hard earned money? lol im poor as, i only work a few hours a day Yes but in those few hours you earn as much as i do in a week!!! Now that you've got rid of that "excess baggage" all the money should be dontated to the "Got Sheep" fund. We'll make it tax deductable........ Well Flip if you have lots of extra cash you can always dontate it to the buy sheepers and live closer together fund that Clover and I are starting.

The "Got Sheep" fund will grow very quickly if we sell out "things" on ebay clover ;) ;) Plus if Flip donates all his money to our fund we can buy lots of sheepers and lots of land. The elmore place sounds pretty good, it's a long way to go from frankston though. Do they do workshops or only training?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachelleBuck Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 We do have workshops that run all weekend and are run by a guy that runs a farm with 10,000 odd sheep. Not sure when the next one is though. The sheep used in Elmore are a lot big that the ones that 4 paws use and more stubborn. Making your dog work a lot harder. Bigger areas to work the sheep in too.

That sounds pretty cool. I'd like to do one of the all weekend workshops. We travel all over the place for flyball so why not for herding. It'd be good to get Belle working hard, although maybe she needs a couple more lessons with the easy sheepers first. She's only young and has only been once. If any of the herding weekends come up does anyone post about them on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachelleBuck Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 The sheep are good to work on as you see if a dog can really work or if they just chase the sheep. I can post if one comes up for you if you like. They have pups from 4 months start working the sheep so I am sure you will fine!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menacebear Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 It would be great if you could post when the next one is comiing up. It'd be good to see if Belle could work the bigger more stubbourn sheep. Flip recorded the herding we did with David and gave me the dvd of belle working. In the beginning you can see she is just sort of chasing and seeing what happens but by the end of it she has settled down and is actually working the sheep. It's great to watch. A huge thanks to Flip for spending so much time taping and burning the dvd's. It came out great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clover Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Ohh strubbourn sheep sound good, it would be a bit of a challange for the El man. I cannot wait to see the DVDs, will be interesting to watch . Menace you havn't turned Flite into a Giraffe neck again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menacebear Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 Yep he's a giraffe neck again. Yeah you need to text Flip again with your address so that he can send the dvd to you. He'll probably send you sparty's too so that you can pass it on to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
