Nope. Spent the night at my sisters on the harbour admiring the fireworks. :cheers: Much better than sitting around Erskine Park at a dog show. Happy New Year Toni

We weren't suggesting changing the standard - only referencing the blue eyes in the breed extension. The question was raised to see what the consensus is because the original post was whether it is acceptable to show a dog with a blue eye. I would probably penalise a blue eyed whippet in the...

This is a bit long winded and may be boring to some so stop here if you haven't got time. :thumbsup: I'm no geneticist (as you'll soon work out :D ) but my understanding of eye colour has always been that in MOST instances eye colour is separate from coat colour. I've never worried much...

It was me who mentioned I'd bred a dog with one brown and one blue eye and I petted him out. I have been told that the same sire has produced a pup with one blue eye in another litter and my understanding is the breeder of that litter also petted out the pup. I hadn't thought much about it...

Good outcome by all involved. But as stated, don't think it's over. I replied to a petition sent to me by someone in SA who must have thought I would be of a mind to support early desexing. The petition was seeking support for mandatory desexing because of the 'over population' of dogs and...

Absolutely no idea. He's just listed with breed involvement with whippets. Must admit, it's refreshing that no-one seems to know anything. :b Cheers

This was posted on one of my other lists. It appears that the desexing is a specific requirement depending on who the owner is and really doesn't make sense. See below: The petition site: http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/view/EPet...urrentEPetition .aspx?PetNum=726 Dear fellow LRCQ member...

I saw on one of the Aussie lists that there is a petition against the early desexing if locals want to sign up. Just a comment on the desexing of the pregnant bitch, you need to remember that owners can request this. Not every vet will perform it, and whilst you and I don't agree with it...

I'm not averse to early desexing and have attended lectures from overseas vets who have done thousands of early age desexing in dogs and cats. I've had one puppy desexed at 9 weeks of age because the owners lived in the outback and getting to a vet isn't an easy option so they wanted the pup...

I know Anne-Marie. :oops: My apologies but I have a tendency to associate who a dog lives with and who shows it rather than the 'official' name on the papers. If someone asks me who won, I say Anne-Marie's Kelly etc. Just wanted to see if you were paying attention! :D And thanks...

Hey John, heard the same comment from exhibitors in other Hound breeds! I did hear if you were in Open and at the top of the line, odds were you went through. Guess I was smart staying home. :p Hope you have better luck today. Cheers

Interesting but have they consulted the AVA? I have requested my vets to do early age desexing for my last 2 litters now and they refuse. After checking around, I've found it difficult to find vets that will do early age desexing. Cheers

Having just cropped, renamed and put into order, pictures of every dog at our recent Sydney specialty, :wacko: I can only say that there were dogs stacked too far back, others under themselves and not pulled back, a variety of toplines and head positions. I think it's fair to say that...

Lisa rang John earlier with the fantastic news that Electra won BEST IN GROUP at Hobart Royal today. :cheers: I may be biased, :- " but I am constantly amazed at just how wonderful this bitch is and I consider myself very lucky to have bred her. She's returned to the ring after her 3rd...

I'll put my hand up and say I bred a pup with a blue and dark brown eyes (from a bitch with really dark eyes). :o I was stunned as I'd never seen this or heard of it but when I spoke to a long time whippet breeder, the breeder admitted they had seen it on occasion. The owner of the sire...

Sorry everyone, I gave up on the results. Thought I could attach a word document (the catalogue) but it didn't work and even though I pasted in the results simply, they don't appear right when I look at preview post so I've given up. Think the main results are posted elsewhere. Cheers Toni

As this didn't past well, I've saved the results from the Whippet Club NSW Inc Specialty Show held yesterday as a word document and attached for those interested. Judge was Magnus Hagstedt. Apologies, I didn't have an accurate record of absentees so haven't included them.

Congratulations to the Whippet Assn on another fabulous show. As interstaters, the hospitality and welcome is always appreciated. :thumbsup: After heavy winds and our 'drama' on the way down (the trailer came off at 117 klm on the Hume Highway (w00t) ), we arrived at our friends late...
