That was brilliant although I think you should do a remix Mel and change some of the words.Maybe change the Kathy to Mel P?

My friend has just picked up an 8 month old kelpie bitch, and he intends to train her for agility and flyball. I've seen a few in agility, but haven't yet come across a flyballing one. Shes very sweet and good natured and already has a good recall (Better than my spaniel whom i've had for 18 months!
)She likes toys and is going to be fast. Shes almost whippet size, and is toller colours, short coat and big prick ears, shes gorgeous!)
Does anyone know what sort of speed kelpies do? Collie fast or faster?
Please tell your friend to join KELPIEUK.COM Its a fantastic forum based in England
she will learn everything she needs to know from the other Kelpie owners there. I myself have a Kelpie x whippet and she is bonkers very fast and can go forever 
Where did she get her Kelpie from if you don't miind me asking?

Hello
sorry sorry to hear Taz is still suffering from SA 18 months after you have got him. Is he a rescue dog? Do you know his history? My little Lurcher girl Abeni was 4 months old when she came to us. From day one she suffered from SA 
It was very frustrating at times but in the end we got a DAP diffuser and a cage. The cage made her feel secure and after a careful introduction to it she was glad to get in the cage whenever we went out and even used it as her bed when we were there. She is now 3 years old and doesn't mind being left all day. She is still clingy with me when I am at home, following me from room to room though but I'm sure thats just because she afraid of missing something. Can I ask, what do you do when you return? Do you make a big fuss of Taz? Do you know for certain that hes distressed the whole time you're away? I might be worth setting up a web cam to see what he gets up to whilst you're out.

Hmm yes hadn't thought of that lol

I would be inclined to get them to a vet Billy just to make sure they haven't got a water infection. Its strange they are waking you up to tell you that they've already been

It looks like a Histiocytoma . Abi had one removed recently under GA she was as right as rain the day after
My vet sent it off to the lab for tests just to make sure though. Hope FooDog is ok. -
I won't put that on here but lets just say its about half way down. I went to Cambridge road junior school for 6 weeks when I was 7 too
-
No I haven't looked at the KC one but would be interested to find out more about it
I would love to go back in the spring and maybe try for a 1st but don't think I could afford it again so soon -
Yes thats the one
although I went down to Bucks to do mine as I couldn't make the Shropshire one. I believe Shropshire is better equipped for the course though. Its a very tough week but brilliant and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I learnt so much I thought my head would explode lol. I only had 6 months experience before taking the course but managed to get a 2nd What grade are going for? -
Oh my gosh I live in the Port!!! I grew up inh Whitby and went the whitby high school! small world!! i live four doors down from CAmbridge Road vets now
oooh we'll have to meet up!!
Hey, my Nan lives on Cambridge road
Sundays are awkward at the best. I help out at a dog class (Yep! I'm a Wannabe trainer with BIG L plates!)
I have just passed my BIPDT training course in August
How long have you been helping out? Which instructor course do you intend to do?

Are you doing the sit first and then putting the article in her mouth, or is she picking it up first before you ask her to sit?
Are the hold and the sit reliable seperately?
I can't quite remember how I did it with Charlie, I think I taught the hold and then asked him to sit while he had the article in his mouth. With him I was just lucky he did it pretty much first time!
So far I have just ask her to sit when she returns with the toy. She does so immediately but then drops the toy. I then put the toy in her mouth stroke her under the chin and say 'hold' but she just wriggles and spits the toy out. It doesn't seem to matter what toy I use either.

I am training for the BIPDT Silver good citizens award with Abeni and she is stuggling on presenting the toy or cloth after she has retrieved it
everything else she can do brilliantly but I just don't seem to be able to get her to this. She loves toys and loves the retrieving and will put the item in my hand put won't hold and then sit. I have tried putting the toy gently in her mouth and tickling her under the chin whilst saying hold but she just doesn't seem to like it. How did everyone else teach their dog to this? -
Yesterday we were on our walk at Talacre beach in North Wales. We met a lady who had lost her 9 month old Husky. He went missing about 12.00 noon between Talacre and Prestatyn on the beach As you can imagine the poor woman was out of her mind with worry. If anybody knows about or has seen anything of this dog please contact me or the Smugglers Inn Talacre where she left her name and number. I fear for this dog as the last time we were at Talacre some gypsies were asking to buy our dogs
