I hope to be there ... saving the pennies and have booked accommodation.

The most animated conversation on this forum for ages has just been closed. No vindictiveness, no nastiness, just a bit of jovial banter. I'm not pointing fingers at the moderator. She has responded to a request. I have asked before for threads to be closed when people have been horrible...

Metacam, as I understand it, is an anti-inflammatory, not just pain relief. It should not be given for just any sort of pain, like humans use aspirin or panadol. It is for ailments where there is inflammation - sprains, bumps and bruises, cuts etc. I have always just squirted it down their...

not at their expense anyhow.... :blink:

Oh I think we might have seen a couple... "These people"(Aussies) keep bringing world reknowned judges over to judge their specialties - many of those from the UK ..... still wanna stick by your comment? .... :huh: :lol:

Yes well there's a bit of action on here for a change - thanks Katana - for getting it going!!!!

Well done to all on what seems like a rather unpleasant day for the whippies.

Congratulations Libby - well done to Olli and Bev! And to Greg! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Maybe a wind-up just to get some conversation happening? Not a lot of participation on this board anymore. Lots of "views" and not many responses on most topics. So even if this was a wind-up it didn't get many people going. :wacko:

I certainly would have told him/her thtat he/she was mistaken and quoted the line from our standard to him/her. Given the fact that fawns/fawn brindles are the predominant colours in the rings in the UK - where has this judge been living - under a rock?

That's ok. ;) I'm still having trouble remembering how the CAC / CACIB works. I've been told before but it still hasn't stuck in my head.

Oooh, yes, Go the Whippets! Well done Zoe, Vicki and Illicium baby

Sorry Jax but you are wrong :oops: CC's here (and therefore points) can only be won at Champ Shows. Open Shows are training grounds for trainee judges and points are not awarded. Same here as in the UK - Even BIS at an OS does not count towards the Championship Title. Open shows are still...

Congratulations to Ch Lysnagah Autumn Belle (Bella) and her owners and breeders Gary & Jo Austen for taking Group 2nd at the Brisbane Royal today! Fantastic!

Nope! I think you're a little confused - perhaps I did not explain clearly enough. Popular opinion is that it is much harder to win a CC in the UK than it is in Australia. You get a couple of hundred whippets at your specialties (breed shows) yeah? And usually at least one hundred or more...

Congratulations Libby and Kaos! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

No our breed entries are smaller than what you get over there - esp. at all breed champ shows. We can pull a couple of hundred whippets for a National Specialty but that's only every now and again. But here I would say it's all about the CC and the points that come with it for your...

Hi Rachel Just to broaden your armchair experience and let you know what happens on the other side of the world ... Only first placegetters are brought in for the initial CC line-up. Beaten dogs may not contend in the initial line-up. This why Aussies rarely enter their dogs in more than one...

Yeah - but you only usually get to see him after he's been on some god-awful driving trip south -12hrs to Bris or 3 days to Melbourne and he's either lost too much weight or I've fattened him up in preparation for it and he hasn't lost enough!!! :b LOL.
