Quite a few bulls kept out with the cows round here as well, although not premanently, just long enough to get the cows 'served'. I'm prettys ure that you can't have a bull loose in a field with a public footpath across it unless there are warning signs (possibly not even at all). Jim would be better looking for a field of heifers or bullocks to work with, they are more predictable and safer, although very nosey, and will circle you if you aren't careful. generally, you don't see more than one bull out together (they can do serious damage to each other and are very valuable beasts). Bullocks and heifers are often out in herds (round here they are loose on common ground, which can be fun...but the dogs and cattle soon get used to each other and ignore each other).

See you there

also worth looking at David Ryan's website as he has an excellent set of instructions for teaching a chase recall. Have a look at www.dog-secrets.co.uk

I have set up a forum especially for discussing courses. It will enable a forum for those on courses to bounce ideas of each other about their course work as well as evaluating their course for other people. http://z7.invisionfree.com/CBT_courses/index.php?

Snitch has her FD And Spud has her FDI

If you can get hold of Skinners, then their Salmon and Rice diet is excellent. They also do a Duck and Rice version as well. Its part of their field and trial range so no VAT.

Brainiacs got a 3rd place in Div 7 at York today. Was a good days racing and some of the racing was very tight.

sorry to hear this. You will be missed. Was great to see you one again at Rotherham.

Support Dogs at sheffield train all sorts of assistance dogs including seizure alert as well as some for mental disabilities. You could also try Dog Aid

The quick answer to that would be a resounding YES from the Brainiacs! We thorughly enjoyed your tournament, well organised, no time wasted and great food.

There are some trainers now offering rally-o in tis country, but they are few and far between. I think there are a couple down south, but nothing yet up north.

Done a bit (used to compete in working trials). Love tracking and also love teaching scent detection (gun oil etc)

I found a really good site here which gives sound advice and even advices on the diet and supplements the dog should eb having to slow the disease's progress. I will certainly follow these guidelines next time I have a dog with DM

Yesterday at eggborough, Bishop Burton Brainiacs took second in div 9 having won 4 out of 5 legs, only being beaten by the eventual 1st placed team even better we smashed our seed time by 1.4 secs (from 24.03 down to 22.63) and also recorded our best ever team. A long way off you div 1&2 teasm but we're still chuffed to bits especially as we run with only one BC in the team and my JRT.

This can now be closed thanks. I have managed to secure a rescue space for him and he'll stand a much better chance of finding his forever home through them.

sadly we won't have got in

Just adding some photos

Patch has been on foster for me since december nad its time he found a home of his own. He is a typical young parsons; rather full on, can get over excited, but is very sociable with dogs and people. He needs work on his basic obedience. He'd make a fantastic agiltiy or flyball dog. However, he does tend to get over attached and woudl be best in a home with another dog (or two) or with someone who is home all day or who can take him to work with them. 6ft fence eseential. I have no idea what he is like with cats but would guess that he won't be good. Rough coated dog, netured, vaccinated and chipped. Currently in foster near Hull. Not to be homed with children under 10

Spud (JRT) got enough points for her Flyball Dog award today and we shaved nearly 2 seconds off our seed time (however it does make a big different having a beardie in the team instead of 2 jacks LOL) After her 'show' at Carlton where she ran really badly, today Spud has been fabby

Thanks for clarifying

Thanks Cocoa, thats the way I was thinking. The small bit about multibreed in hte BFA rule book doesn't really help me.

Thinking of having a go at this and know that we need 4 diff breeds, but do we actually need 6 for a full tema or cna we have say 2 beardies, but only run one at once (if you see what I mean) so that one bearde would swap places with the other so that we still have 4 diff breeds in the team that runs. Not explainling myself very well, but you get the idea..

anyone at York tomorrow?

Carlton towers 6-8th April Drax 5/6 May Eggborough 26/27 May
