well its a good thing Archie is cute .... that's all I can say :mad

.

...

......

.......

..

actually to be honest I think he did ok, for a dog (and handler) that's never done anything like this before we didn't completely make fools of ourselves I don't think

did get to meet the lovely Toby and Maja (beautiful beautiful dogs!) an their equally lovely owners .... thanks guys for making us feel really welcome tonight - I really appreciated it(thanks for the loan of your daughter Bec for some puppy love/socialisation too - much appreciated) .....

need to bring a proper collar and lead though (turning up with a flat collar and a standard lead wasn't a good idea - but I'm expecting a lovely new lead to arrive in the coming days so that will be coming along next time I promise) .....

P.S if I thought I could have gotten away with stealing Maja I would have - I have never met a bloodhound before and she is just amazing .... such a beautiful natured girl (patient with a 12 week old GSP trying to jump all over her) just stunning! and Toby's the cutest little man I've ever met - his fur is so soft and crinkly .... it was my first Havanese and Bloodhound meeting moment tonight :rolleyes:

It should be there if u are in the express area.. i posted it monday :(

woo hooo I'll try to get off work early tomorrow and check out the PO Box ..... Archie's getting a bling lead dooo daaaa doooo daaaa Archie's getting a bling lead - oh dooo daaa day! :(

Bec - Toby was free stacking like he was born to do it! he looked brilliant :(

You can put Leo on your list too Ash :(

And I am jealous of you getting all those cuddles Bec! Leo probably would have been scared of Maja at first, but he is getting really adventerous lately, they would probably have a ball together!

Which show will I get to meet all these new puppies at??!

Argh, there is a Bully specialtey coming up, but I think I am way too afraid to enter Leo and go against all the pros :mad Do you think it would be rude of me to ask his breeder if I entered him would she like to handle him?? She did at the last one, we keep in pretty regular contact, and she doesn't have any other dogs to enter atm...maybe she won't even go...I think I might ask anyway

Aww good bopy Toby...big cuddles at maitland!

Yep will come next fortnight! Kite was nuts today at traing she tried to squish peaches many many times!

Kites looking good thou put plenty of weight on, and you should all see Peach shes moving like a pro...prettiest aussie EVA!

And yes will be there in two weeks, Kite needs a few new play mates!

Yep we'll be there next fortnight should work out well! And Peach only moved like a pro in public cos shes such a well behaved little squidge! At home its a different story :)

And Sammy, of course Peach is the prettiest, no second rate Aussies in my house! LOL

More about getting my handling perfect to show her off to her best. I've gone back to using bait before going in the ring and it got a lot more drive out of her on Sunday.

I'm in two minds about tonight, should I bring Phoenix to training or Willow and just hold her??? What to do. I'm leaning towards bringing Willow. She is due for her 12wk vac next Wednesday, which I assume is still a bit early to bring her for actual training on the Wed night. Do you have to pay if you just bring them and watch?

You don't have to pay to sit and watch. But personally I'd be more inclined to bring Pheonix and learn how to handle as that can be transferred over to Willow. I would wait to bring Willow until she's fully vac'd.

I wondered what I was doing wrong! :( That's cool I'm going to join showmanager.com.au and use their forms but I can't print a form until I have my membership number.. it's okay because that should be this afternoon. Sending by express to Mackay tomorrow for a Friday close date, but the show contact said they are usually pretty flexible by a few days.

Yes, I was thinking that learning with Phoenix will transfer to Willow, the reason why I was thinking of bringing Willow is because there will be lots of dogs there, she hasn't really been in that situation. I opted not to do a puppy pre-school. I didn't want her to be overwhelmed on her first week with both lots of dogs around, and learning everything else. If she isn't overwhelmed I think she'll want to play with all the dogs.

Just dropping by to make an "I'm so stupid, again" comment...Seem to be doing a lot of these lately :thumbsup:

I must be the only one stupid enough to not realise that the Maitland show, is actually at the "Maitland Show" :(

Now i'm scared. So I need more help, do we just park where general people etc park? And the rings will be set up where they normally have the horse show/bike show/where the stands are? I'm freaking out, like it's my first show again :laugh:

Not to mention, the last years show was a particularly bad experience, my cousins partner was killed there :eek:

I made the mistake of taking Lincoln to show class before he was properly prepared and he freaked out from all the noise/dogs/being in the weired acoustics of the undercover area. So now I am slowly building up to take him again. I think taking Willow before she is actually expected to do anything, other then be there is a good idea.
