Many thanks Janis and Pamela for posting these articles.
These are also interesting, as some of the issues in this breed are the same as those currently being observed in whippets:
"There is a strong possibility that inbreeding depression may be becoming a factor in Australian Shepherds...
Sorry to hear about the tyre problems.
Hope Vinnie is OK Hannah, the Little Git sends his best wishes and says having banged hocks isn't nice. Unfortunately he knocked/cut his in the Puppy Cup, and has a rather nasty swelling. We had it x-rayed yesterday and it's not as serious as the vet...
What a good day for you Patricia, you must be chuffed. :cheers: Congratulations to Lampy all the other winners too.
We did not have such a good day - Guto injury from last week hadn't really improved, and his hock swelled up again straight after his run, so that will be our last excursion...
Really great pics, some really dramatic poses there (hope none of them ended in mishaps :luck: ) Think I spotted Bowan, Phoebe and Kiplin in there (was that Phoebe trying to climb over the dog in front by any chance (w00t) ) And the very handsome Oddy ? (LOVE the black ears ;) )

Well done Phoebe :cheers: glad to hear she's finally over her problems :huggles: Congratulations to everyone else too, looks like you had cracking day in a magnificent location.
