  • @Petra:

    So I think that we must win:)

    Yes.. can't go wrong with this much support ;)

  • Good luck tomorrow:D

  • Tahnks, will try…both:)

  • Good luck! We'll cross all fingers and paws!:D

  • Wishing you good luck, I'm sure you'll do just fine. Crossed fingers and tightly curled tails for good luck sent your way!!

    Go get them Petra and Mody!!!

  • Mody was very very very successful! :D

    Congrats again! ;)

  • Good luck with the show! Here in the UK we have Ringcraft classes. These are invaluable to training for shows. You can do as much individual training at home but you really need your dog to be socialised with other dogs and people. I have my first Basenji who is 15 weeks old and he has been to two ringcraft classes, last week but he really needed to get used to the distraction of the other dogs and to be used to being touched by strangers on the table. Milo was all over the place with the lead stuff as he was more interested in the dogs on either side of him! It will all come in time though so i' m not worried. Enjoy the experience of the show but don't worry if it's not a success first time!

    Just had a look at Milo in your profile he looks lovely:D How is he settling in? Do you have anymore pics of him as we are all suckers for puppy pics:D

  • Thank you very much. I have uploaded another pic much the same as last one. Milo is a typical puppy with the patience of a newt or smaller so taking photos isn't easy as you will know. However he is settling in nicely and gets on well with the two Ridgebacks. I will send more photos as time goes by. Great forum by the way and very busy!:)

    Oh yes I think we all know about that with our B's. Glad he has settled well with the RR's, they do seem to go well together. We have someone else in the breed in the UK who has both RR's and B's. Look forward to seeing more pics as he grows:D

  • I was little bit affraid tahat Mody wiould be interested in other dogs and not in me, but how I was suprised (and all the audience including judge) when lttle princess was running by me and lookind at my face with head queeny up….she was excellent, made for ring:) I think she was really enjoying the attention:)

    I am lucky with my guy. Although he has attempted digging a few times and been told "no", he doesn't take advantage of my absence to pursue the habit. One exception was when I assume he was cold, and he dug his way under the comforter on the bed, managing to do some damage to the foamy we have on the bed to make it softer. (never assume the bed that felt soft enough in the showroom will be so when you get it home! :) ) He has free run of the house and seldom abuses the privilege. Obviously if the damage occurs when you are gone the only solution is to restrict his access to the things he is likely to harm. Or suffer the consequences. ;)

    I usually run mine nekkid anyways, but never seen or heard of anyone having collar troubles around here. People use muzzles as well, which could cause the same potential problem I guess. I do use those now always. Most of our oval races are continuous loop. But of course the straights are drag.

    @snorky998: Looks like the video worked well. Buddy recalled to the TV instantly:D Now all you have to do is imitate the wonderfully silly voice and he'll come running every time:D Let us know how that works out!! Thanks for the clip. It was adorable. That's correct! The high pitched "SPREEEEE"! That's the dogs name (Spree) in the video. So it will have to be "BUDDEEEEE! I will have to work on the high pitch.

    @Janneke: Great pics! Your pups look wonderful! Is that a showleash around Haileys neck? Have you got plans to show her? Yes thats her showleash :D Well, we have plans to show her, she likes it to practise and she get so much better in shape since we have her. She only has trouble with touching by other people, thats someting we're working on now, if she's gonna like it, we think we try a clubmatch to see of she lika a whole show! @BasenjiDiva: Wonderful pictures! Poor Buana looks like an accordian! hahahaha yes! it's a shame he doesn't work proper… He yodels... he can't make an accordian sound! hahaha Pat @MacPack: Great photos, your boys are very masculine and strong-looking, and Hailey looks lovely. Everyone had a good time in the sunshine. Thanks a lot! the love the sun.. and after a long cold winter it's so nice to enjoy the sun! @AndrewnShango: I am just totally and thoroughly in love with Chafuko! :D Thanks!!! We love him soo much, he's our little joker… :D His caracter is also very nice, he is very playful and get every dog to play and every people to hug him hahaha Yesterday, I changed his wegpage. We're going to test him in a few weeks (we hope we can get an appointment soon) for his Hips(HD), his Theroid, HA and his eyes. Both parents tested free for fanconi but we're tinking about testing both boys also. And then, if there are breeders interested for Chafuko as stud, maybe he can be a daddy! (it's a shame, in Holland the breeders are so weird, they just won't take a not-breeders stud as our boys, out of principles... sigh...)
