kelqin Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Hi Does anyone know of any more shows/expos that are being held in NSW this year? When I click on the calender/events link for NSW it says access is restricted (or something like that). We are thinking about getting a husky but would love to meet a few breeders and have a chat with them and of course meet some of their beautiful babies! Thanks Kellie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelqin Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 Thanks Darkrai. We are from Wollongong but no problems in travelling to Penrith. Do you know if there will be husky breeders there? Where in Erskine Park is it? My husband grew up near there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Dog shows are held at The Bill Spilstead Complex on Luddenham Road, just off Mamre Road. Shows normally start at 9.00am and dogs are judged in alphabetical order. Am sure there would be a few siberians there for you to meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkySoaringMagpie Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Best option would be to try and tee something up up with a DOLer first, who can then arrange to meet you and introduce you to someone who will be at the show and be happy to talk to you. I have no idea about the Siberian scene in Sydney, it's not my group. Generally speaking tho' not all exhibitors are newbie friendly, particularly not in the stress and bustle of showing their dogs.

Darkrai Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I only know a couple Sibe breeders by face in Sydney but know a couple up Newcastle way, if you're interested and wanna do the hike to Hillsborough on the weekend of the 25/26 in Sept I'll be there both days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyB Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 It's not just for members. I have just gone into the show and trial guide and did not need any membership details. There will be shows on most weekends, and at most All Breeds shows there will be Sibes entered. I have attached the show and trial guide that you can download from Dogs NSW.

SkySoaringMagpie Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Looks like there is a Sibe Speciality on 9 October. That might be your best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverHaze Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Yes i was going to say the Siberian specialty on the 9th of ocotber would be a good starting point. There will be lots of committee members there, who may not be showing and will be able to spend a bit more time discussing the breed with you. Plus alot more Siberians to view than normal!

kelqin Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 Thanks everyone. We went to the show at Erskine Park today and I did get to talk to a couple of the exhibitors/breeders and they were lovely. They also told me about the October show which we will definitely be going to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
