RVN Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hi all... heres a silly question...Im quite into showing my two dogs...(sad I know!! but I love it) and although they are both pure breeds I cannot compete them in proper breed classes as they have both been neutered...so I compete in local extemption shows...ie..most handsome dog, waggiest tail etc etc as well as agilty. Now is this just a british thing that us UK dog owners have dreamt up or do the Aussies have these types of show too..Only I would miss going to them when we move. :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skippy Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 RVN, it's a regular pastime here with dog shows, January in the Illawarra is show time, we have just had the Kiama, Albion Park & Dapto shows, where different animals are shown on the day, Dog's, Cats, Cows etc etc, no horses this year because of the horse flu thing, so you shouldn't be bored. There are nearly as many people pulling their dog trailers behind the car as there are people with caravans these days, so they take their hobby very seriously, my old boss used to be involved in dog shows & was kept busy every weekend, unfortunately I lost touch with him, so I can't help you on this one.

RVN Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 We are hoping to head to Skippys neck of the woods...beautiful Wollongong... but thanks for the though Braveheart.. Does seem to be all pure breed classes at these shows..my boys are both neutered therefore I can't compete them cause they are not any use for stud. Hence we have been entering novelty classes..ie..dog the judge would like to take home, most handsome dog etc etc...any thing like this in oz??? I understand I can enter them in neuter classes but that these dont come up that often. Looks like I may have to get another dog...aHHHH not three please :arghh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
