Congratulations to Laurel and Tanner. In fact I think you have all done great and I look forward to seeing all or most of you next year.

Only in Queensland................ Of the top 8 dogs this year 7 were "minor breeds". 3 GSP's, 1 Golden, 1 Chessie, 1 Flatcoat, and 1 Duck Toller. Just one Lab.

Cheers

Really Alan, that's so sad!

joe

they must judge the dog not the breed?

Hi Joe

I have always said I would get a Labrador - but only when I need a Seeing Eye Dog................

They seem to do quite well in Novice

Don't laugh Alan, it could happen! What colour will you prefer?

Hi Joe

Obviously a trick question, as I will not be able to tell the difference

Cheers
Alan
