ozjen Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 The other was a bag of Advance, for small breeds! So I gave it to mum and dad for their maltese I find it odd that the majority of breeds competing are medium/large, yet the food on offer is for small breeds I dare say that was a left over from the Nationals, not as many little dogs turned up as they hoped and they were handing out the food as prizes at later trials. Yup, he's the one on the left :D Squeeeee adorable!! Was amusing as there were 4 dogs that Qed (combined height trial) Kyzer and Jenna had both gone clear so we are standing there and AP was sure that Jenna had beaten Kyzer and we were sure Kyzer had beaten Jenna. Well Jenna won by less than half a second So very close between the two, neither of who did their best possible effort ETA: Up to Masters any breed of dog can win as it is a challenge to go clear LOL... at Masters level I don't expect any of my dogs will be in the placings unless everyone else bombs! Man I wish I saw the runs of the other two dogs who Q'd, they must have been sooooooooooo sloooooooowww if our two slow poke runs beat them Seemed like a generous SCT though. I reckon if our two beat them then they must have walked the course :D . Jenna only beat Kyzer because she has longer legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoxyNHemi Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Thanks for the congrats everyone WX, my hubby popped down with our kids briefly yesterday and caught a glimpse of Naca in the ring and commented that he thought he was really stunning - that is a very big thing for him to say as he is fairly jaded when it comes to dog shows! He was 'born' into the dog world and nowadays much prefers to support me from the sidelines i.e at home Well done on your Runner Up in group on Saturday! You must be thrilled with them both. Considering your hubby has a soft spot for Westies Well done everyone on their wins of late.. I have had a month or show off showing... loved the break, only wish it could be longer, but will be heading to a show this weekend as I need to practice with a dog or two for the Royal!

Lab_Rat Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 ooooowwwww labrat please post photos!! Llamas are cute! When I resize some of the pics my sister took back in March I will post some!! I am so excited about getting a new species!! I have had all sorts of animals over the years, but this will be my first camelid Its also a bit daunting, as I dont fully understand their temperaments, but I guess I will learn as I go! Emery, Im sorry you are having dramas with your girl! I must admit, my latest ridgy who is now 4 was quite a struggle to train. Have you considered some one-on-one training with someone?? It sure helped me and my girl, getting an idea of what drives them is a big help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure helped me and my girl, getting an idea of what drives them is a big help! I will take her to obedience on sunday and see how we go before i consider one on one she might just need a bit more focus first. i have let her get away with a little bit more so she is happy and energetic inthering, but she is already starting to push the boundaries and i am not going to have that she needs to listen when i ask a command of her. i think because the other two were so easy i had preconceived ideas and as i haven't yet figured out her drive like tuggin or what not it is making it harder i swear the other two rotts are labs in disguise are secret hoovers lol she was a hoover at her breeders but is so not here just wants to be difficult, i am not showing to the royal so will give us a break at least to reget into it so to speak maybe she is a bit bored with it, don't want that asshe is only a baby and i hope to have a long career with her in several disciplines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second certainly brought us back down to earth .....Four years old and is just starting to act like a growed up dog . gremlins rofl Don't say that rofl i will send her back before then and swap her for her mother back hahahahahaha. then again it's been 8 months she might be naughty too hmm naughty puppy or naughty adult hard decision hahahahahaha. she is getting strong and she throws that around a bit now too pulling, pulling backwards etc and the others didn't i am tiny and if she is already making me lose balance i need to get on top of it. last thing the breed needs is a misbhaved tenage rottweiler with no training :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will get there, I want to give Ptolomy and Bedazzled a run for their money rofl well eventually I will take a break from stand training for the time being and work on other training when we get there i may throw in a stand or two her mother was older before she stood still. She is just so stubborn. she wouldn't stand tonight so trainer took her lol she kept moving too so it isn't just me she is just a typical female lol being a B is her life long dream i reckon ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
