I've had to stop reading that section, it makes me too angry and I want to call all the ads and yell at them! Stupid people. Though in the Sunday Times today there was the most adorable photo of a Boxer puppy! Tan/black face with two white ears. Sooooo cute. Anyone else see it? IMPORTANT PERTH NEWS HERE!!!

mirawee Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) Are you going to share these horse photos!?!? In a dog forum? ;) OK... The palomino is my yearling Quarter Horse x Thoroughbred gelding, Xavi, who is unfortunately for sale since I have two Anglo Arab yearling fillies who are keepers And yes I do cross breed horses But they are all bred for performance/showing The naughty foal is Aeryn who is jumping on her mother Abbey... took that shot today as well and if you want horsey photos I figure you will enjoy it Abbey is a Holsteiner and Aeryn's dad is a KWPN warmblood... hopefully she will be a brilliant showjumper when older!

RallyValley Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Sounds like a good idea . But probably a non dog meet (well I wouldn't bring Toby, he is a bit afraid of horses after one broke his leg) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparkyTansy Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I kinda feel like changing mine, but I think it's stuck I want to change it to be obviously Chesapeake but I might just wait till I (one day) get a prefix and make it that. (I just realised that my sig looks photo shopped but it's not ;) ) I wanted to change my name to my prefix once i got it but i love my name too much now and don'twant to change it!! I use it on other forums as well (mostly dog forums though!) and i have used my prefix on one forum but can't get used to it!! i love your new siggy!! very arty ;) Love the horse pics mirawee! does anyone know anywhere in perth that you can take herding breeds just to see what they can do? I thought about doinng it with the OES as he tends to like to round up stuff and thought it might be fun for him... but i don't know where to start looking... :p we got about 10 minutes of fat rain on Saturday afternoon... right after the massive stormwhich caused a small fire close by. at the time i was outsidein a puddle of water bathing a sopping wet Old English... I love storms but that one was MUCH too close for comfort. It frightened Charlie, and it freaked out poor Ari for about an hour. Anyway, waiting out the storm put us back about half an hour and I didn't get charlie to the show on Saturday night which sucked... i can't wait for our next show!!

RallyValley Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 ST you can bring him to my house to meet my sheep. They are pretty used to dogs annoying them and unless he singles out one of the (now 6 month old) lambs they won't bite . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleep ins and playing with my girls. Fencing and stuff as well, to keep our small smart-alec lamington out of the horse yard! Rat Well without giving too much away I was married in 1979 but still young at heart if not in body. I'm an avid Quokka fan but like you I sometimes feel sad at the number of designer breeds being rehomed with their first litter when people realise that their pups don't sell as well as the high priced petshop ones. What herding breeds were people looking for? I haven't bought a Quokka for a while. Dingoes are occassionally available but they do have very special needs. Personally as much as I love Dingoes I think it is a shame that they are available to the public as so many people aready have problems catering to their domestic dogs and cats.
