  • @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 not in your area, but ... you should know that dog training is about teaching you how to interact with your dog, as opposed to teaching your dog how to do things. Most area Kennel Clubs offer training where you are your dogs partner in the class. The things you will learn will last your lifetime. I applaud the non-punitive approach. A lot of people fly off the handle when their dog chews on the wrong thing, or doesn't quite have potty training down. One of the best things you can do is give them love when they do it right and don't react when they don't. Recognize that he's just a pup. You can trade an acceptable chew toy for your shoes, and you can avoid the problem by closing the closet door so your pup can't get to your shoes. Accidents will happen and learning to potty doesn't happen overnight. Just provide a lot of verbal love when the pup gets it right and don't react when he doesn't. Love and praise are the best tools in your training bag. Congrats on your pup. Can't wait to hear about all of your adventures!

    @tanza @debradownsouth Exactly what I meant. Like a child, you cannot expect a pup to do something their body has not grown enough to do. It's been years since I've had a puppy in the house. "Bug" came to me at 18months, well past potty training. (Thank heavens!)
