SkySoaringMagpie Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) Went looking for breed calendars online tonight. OH and I don't buy local breed club ones, I know some people will think it's rude, but we think there's bugger all point looking at your competition every day. Would rather just donate to the club. So, with that out the way.... We've found a nice Saluki calendar: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SALUKI-Gazelle-Hound-Club-Calendar-2012-Colour-/190593346089?pt=UK_Collectables_Paper_RL&hash=item2c603faa29#ht_1974wt_884 Struggling to find a nice Afghan one, we'd buy the US rescue one if it had paypal but they don't. Need suggestions for a good IW calendar! What calendar would you recommend for your breed? We find the Brown Trout ones often just don't have nice examples of the breed. Edited for spelling fail.

In fact, it may be the article that is awaiting collection at the P.O. People can find the calender by going here. Maremma Articles Px Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyosha Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 IW = Irish Wolfhound. ;) I was hoping there would be one here: http://www.cafepress.com/borzoigifts/8304650 But no luck sorry. Nice IW stuff, but only Borzoi calendars. It is a relatively new site though so keep an eye on it. Was originally just Zoi but branching out now into other sighthounds gifts so the range should increase with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gayle. Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I buy the Australian Shepherd Club of Victoria annual calendar, this year it features Dusty as Miss September and Ripley as Mr January (along with two other blue merle Aussies). It has mostly pet dogs, not in show poses and the calendar is wonderful. The pics are submitted by members and the standard is getting higher each year. I got an Aussie Shepherd one from the local newsagents, for my wall at work, and was disappointed to find that at least half the photos are boring show stacks. I hate pics of show stacked dogs and I have no idea why they'd end up in an expensive calendar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weasels Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) I'd never thought of getting a breed calendar! The last couple of years we've just bought the calender put out by the shelter Fox came from. But I had a look and found this one - link - which might be too cute to resist next year :D (edit: it is brown trout, but the dogs looked good to me ) Edited December 27, 2011 by Weasels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations Gayle I was given a generic ACD calender from the Hire firm. ;) I agree that pet poses totally outclass show stacks. Px Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 My friend in the USA sends me a calendar every year from Keynote Specialties. Put out by the Mid Florida Shetland Sheepdog Club - It is a monthly calendar which has a beautiful photo of a sheltie for each month. It also shows on each day below each date, the whelping date that your pups would be due ie on the 1st January underneath it shows Mar 4 which would be pups due date. It also contains a growth chart at the back of the calendar. I love it - have kept each calendar for the last 12 years or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clover Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 For Border Collies and JRT, i think i will stick to making my own ;). The JRT one especially has some pretty poor breed examples usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsfevr Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I don't buy them,whilst i don't want show dogs i can't stand those where the dogs aren't groomed & quiet frankly not even cute for the breed . I have never done it but it would easier to simply do your own either through kmart or Vista print,take your own photo's or swap between friends & you havea great calendar for the year cheap as Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping that I can stop being lazy and do my own calendar this year!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esky the husky Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I thought the same about some of the huskies in this years one. I'm assuming it's a brown trout one ;) The Finnish Lapphund Club of Vic does nice lappie ones Voted for by the public as well :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
