whos going to border union ????? its one of my favourite shows, fabulous setting-i think ive only ever missed it once in all the years ive been showing, im there on the sunday, anyone else??????

Treena will be going up with our lad, but don't remeber which day!

your days saturday :( , we will meet somewhere im sure :p-----same day at darlington??????

Hi, we are entered and hope to go, but all depends on if he is a little braver by then!! :(

Is he improving at all, Dotty?

How is he in the more relaxed atmosphere at an Open Show?

how old is he dotty????? is his dam forward, did she enjoy the ring ???

Hi again. Thanks for all the advice JG (it was about my boy when John emailed you), we are just starting to put some of it into practice now. He has started going aout with my 'really boistrous' young bitch and seems to be looking towards her for her reactions toward really scarey things like bus shelters and lamp posts!! :) It is so nice to know people are happy to help - we have had/bred/shown dogs for over 35 years (within the family, my mum had Goldies, my Aunt has Boxers etc) and it just goes to show you can never prepare for everything - personality wise, with our canine friends. Really grateful xx

Ahhhhh, all becomes clear now! If you think I may be able to help at any time, let John and I know - we're rooting for you! (And just hate to be stumped!)
:)

Hi JG, thats great. I will let you know his progress, thanks again. He actually went to the 'big scarey red post box' and back with us today, without very much fuss - brave dog :)

Hi Dotty,
I can always lend a sympathetic ear, even if I can't actually help....you can always email me. We'll get him sorted! :)

Hi Dizzy,
he is 6 months old now. His Dam isn't shown but has been in the past with good results, his sire is confident in the ring and he has many Ch.s in his pedigree which must have been reasonably confident to do so well. Hoping it is just his age. :)

I'm hoping to be there, both my girls are in season and should be finished any day now, but as they get older it seems to last longer. They are 11 and nearly 10!!! My friends dog is also due to have pups so we may not go.

Now I can see why I kept a dog from my last litter!!

Hi Perr,
You have SWDs - absolutely gorgeous dogs, am planning to learn more about them very soon, I love them, but don't know too much about them. xx

Do I have SWD's, um I think you can say so!!! I have 5, live on my own, but have extremely good parents who look after my dogs whilst I'm at work.

SWD's are a wonderful breed, but let me just warn you, once you have one you'll end up with more!!!

im going on sunday, does anyone know if there is camping available?
thanks,
kelly

im fairly sure theres a camping site alongside the showground--ring the sec-they might of had to be prebooked

Hi
I'm going Saturday and Sunday - with the American cockers Sat , and the Pugs Sunday. This will be the first time our 2 parti colour girls have been in the same class - really looking forward to seeing them together! We dont have tickets, unfortunately, so only an entry of 20ish, but I love this show, ,setting is great, and I even enjoy the drive up!
bye
Gwen

My favourite show too and only an hour from home, see you there Gwen.
