Guest belgian.blue Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Are there any DOLers who go to Midland Dog Training Club? Where is that held? I'm tempted to be a smartass and say Midland? I know it's some oval down Midland way, they hold their club trials there (I've only trialled there once so can't remember the name or exact location sorry!) guess I was asking for a smart arse answer with a question like that! Worked out where it is and meh .. too many road works going on around there at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 The road works don't affect me. Which way are you coming from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristineX Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hi Lab Rat - its really only when things go wrong that you could call them terrors (like teaching not to bite) - their tenacity and intelligence means that they take a different tack. With Kate, it would be 'are you sure I can't chew this finger?' and when you say no you can't, she'd just move on to the next finger, and then the next hand, and then the body language would say "are you SURE you mean this"? and she would start with that first finger again. And then you wake up one morning to realise that all your rules are suddenly just the way the dog lives...... as though no biting of fingers ever occured. They are very sweet natured, very good watchdogs that only bark if there is something to bark at, they love interacting with you, love training/agility etc. Lousy at retrieving. Mine look with puzzelment at other dogs chasing balls. But on the whole, once matured, not really interested in other dogs. At least, Kate and her Dad. The jury is still out on Duke, but he is kinda special, in an earpiercing way. At the last Jorgensens Park DOL meet, all the other dogs ran around and played in a crowd - Kate just went her merry way and checked out the bush. Came back about every 15 minutes to check on us, and would dissapear again which is why her collars now have a growing collection of cat bells on them. Hi ValleyWA - yep I can always use help with Kate's nails - so much easier with someone holding her, it definately avoids her 'its armageddon!!" impersonation!!

I am also a boarder I was there from 2000 - 2002 Did you know they are closing it as a boarding house next year? This is the last year they'll have boarders.

mirawee Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) to Christine ValleyWA, you are still going to do agility this year aren't you? I am planning on taking Banjo down to Perth again this year, although will probably only get to every second week LOL. Oh and to all the Swanleigh boarders I wasn't a boarder but had to put up with you since I went to Govo Edited January 22, 2010 by mirawee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubyStar Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I'll be there on the Saturday night for obedience. Though I think agility is Sunday and Monday nights, so you'll have to change your plans if you want to see agility! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washa Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I'll be there Friday night to watch Group 4, Saturday night for Obedience and showing, Sunday night for showing, and Monday for showing and DWD. Praying that we can do both on Monday night and there isn't a clash. Yep, it's Bosley doing Canine Freestyle :-) That is if we ever get the tricks in time Washa So................Who is off the the Western Classic this year??I want to head up for Friday and Saturday night - so I can see the hounds and then the working group.

mirawee Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Lab_Rat, Banjo will be there Saturday, Sunday and Monday for the Classic He would be happy to give you some Kelpie Kisses I really need to get my act together with him as he is entered in the teams jumping as well Only in a very non-competitive team but I just realised he has never done a collapsible tunnel I wonder if I should put an entry in for him for novice jumping... only thing is it could clash with the show side of things. @ Amypie... you make me feel old though, coz I graduated in 1997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also a boarder I was there from 2000 - 2002 Did you know they are closing it as a boarding house next year? This is the last year they'll have boarders. God now i do feel old!!!!! I was there from 1987 to 1991! My last house was Hudleston, I was a prefect of year 8"s if only they had part of an idea about what we used to get up to!!!!!! I did hear they were closing it down, I wonder what they will do with it as I think a lot of the buildings are heritage listed??? I actually found out from my Stock Agent who is also a former Swanleighan! We are every where!!!! Oh and to all the Swanleigh boarders I wasn't a boarder but had to put up with you since I went to Govo Oh a daybug, when were you there??? Maybe we had to put up with the day bugs? Nah it was a good school once we got a new headmster with an idea who cracked down on some people. I did hate boarding though - missed home all the time. I am so jealous you are all going to the classic, I haven't been for ages and I love going Good luck everyone and some give that gorgeous Chessie boy some big cuddles from me Edited January 22, 2010 by Rommi n Lewis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lab_Rat Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 So mirawee - whats involved in the jumping?? I didnt know Banjo had so many talents hidden up his furry sleeve Are there going to be any other Kelpies shown do you know? Trinity back in form yet?? Any of her pups? Cant remember when they were born, so they may not even be old enough...... Enough of the age thing already!!!!! I feel old! Rat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant remember when they were born, so they may not even be old enough...... Enough of the age thing already!!!!! I feel old! Rat Jumping is basically agility without the contact equipment and weavers So jumps and tunnels only I was trying to figure out how old Trinity's pups are as well... will go check the Suthernskyes website But I doubt they or Trinity will be at the Classic since she was in season at the Royal (much to Banjo's delight although he wasn't allowed to say hello) so they can't be that old. Rommi n Lewis, I was there 1993-7. And I think the boarders liked us "daybugs" I know the ones that came to dinner or stayed for the weekend certainly weren't complaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
