ozjen Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Crufts obedience winner this year is an Aussie!!!! Hey RS and Ptolomy, did you guys know of the last 15 AKC NOI's winners 13 have been retrievers! (and 1 BC, 1 sheltie, 1 poodle)Looks like GR's are the hit for obedience over there! The last two winners were labs. Im off to bed, I will probably have dreams of dogs heeling beatifully. Today I have watched sooooo many youtube clips of obidience I think I finally have in my head what a good heel position looks like. Quick question though, in a front are points deducted if the dog touches you? Better not. I think Ruby should earn bonus points for targeting my crotch quite nicely with her nose They can touch you, but if they crowd you TOO much, some judges can penalise. And yep, saw the 2 Labs, but the majority were Goldies! Numerous handlers/dogs winning more than one year as well I think you and Brookie should go to Crufts so that an Aussie can win again next year.

Mas1981 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Sophie got into a paddock with goats and chased one around Dinner Lol I bought Mason some dried goat treats today From A&D?? Yip. I am sending hubby back on Monday to get me some treat balls ( i forgot to get) if they have more goat I can ask him to buy the lot and make a plan to get it to you if you like? I'd love to buy some goat, puhleeeeease?! If you buy extra and want to sell it on, I would love to buy some off you. I will never get a chance to make it down there in the near future. Sorry it seems that they only had the few bags if they only got one in this week. I am going to try Mason on goat at some stage Katie so when I do I will let you know if I have extra, at the moment we are giving lamb a go - will get hubby to ask on monday though if they have any extra goat.

Mas1981 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I am like a kid waiting for Xmas - I don't know how many times I have looked at my watch today and the time seems to be going so slowly.9am tomorrow and I am going to be one very happy vegemite. I also have a new washing machine and air conditioner arriving tomorrow - they say good things happen in threes Hope all the introductions go well for Strauss - Enjoy having him home :D :D The Corgis are just Thanks for the socialisation offers, I'll give him a bit of time with the training and then I'll take the willing victims volunteers up on their offer So fed up of house hunting for a rental and being showing shabby houses that they expect shed loads of $$$'s for ;) Anyone know anyone in the real estate business round Perth I know Ellenbrook is a bit far out but we have decent rentals at quite reasonable prices and most places are pet friendly.

Lab_Rat Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) Well Ptolomy must have one giant grin on her face this morning!!!! I cant imagine how excited she would be I have been reading lots, but not contributing over the past few days.....You guys make me feel quite slack and non-motivated with all your training and trialling I have done nuthin for quite a long time. I hate that Im so far from anywhere to get to anything on a regular basis, and just lack the motivation to keep on by myself. Im sure I could do great things with Wandy, shes such a little trooper and loves doing stuff for me.............. Help!!!!! Oooh, meant to add - loved all the puppy pics!

pie Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 So fed up of house hunting for a rental and being showing shabby houses that they expect shed loads of $$$'s for Anyone know anyone in the real estate business round Perth Yep I do but it won't help you when it comes to rentals I'm afraid, it's just a case of finding a property on Realestate.com.au, viewing it and applying. What area are you looking in CC? Oh and squeeeeeeee for Strauss day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirawee Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Is he here yet? Come on Ptolomy - we are all hanging out for "Strauss Freedom Day" Photos! Lab_Rat, don't look at me for motivation This weekend is the first trial for me since the Nationals, and in that time I have managed to get to about 3 training sessions So it could be an interesting day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
