There are things going on between here and DP that are making me feel very uncomfortable so from now on I will not be visiting either site so if you have any clear rounds please PM them to Kirisox who will I'm sure keep the table updated. I'm taking both my dogs off too so the table as it stands is: CABBAGEPATCH88 & MONTY - 13 KIRISOX & JAY - 12 CRAZYSPANIELS & BILBO - 11 T-DOG & BELLA - 8 AMARANTH & KLEINE - 7 AMARANTH & MERLYN - 2 Good luck with the rest of your season and hope to see you in th future at shows or on the DARL Forum (Accessed via DARL website)

I've just got a reply. Dear Paula, Thank you for your comments. Our presenters do express opinions - as do the many callers and contributors who feature in our programming across the day. We understand your point, nevertheless, and thank you for your comments. They are always considered. Regards David Lloyd Managing Dircetor

I love this one, it's not in focus and isn't very good but makes me smile every time. I was trying to get his attention and said the usual 'What's sis' and he looked at the ball.

Here's what I put, wonder if anyone will actually bother to read it. Nick Abbott - what an uninformed and prejudice person this DJ is. How dare he say that all dogs should be muzzled or put down without allowing people with positive comments about dogs to come on the programme and talk to him. By all means hold a reasonable debate on the subject but to only have his side heard is wrong and does nothing to help stop these unfortunate attacks on children.

Mine have it I I find they love it, they have good coats and energy levels for the agility I do.

Down and leaving the ring, same sort of timeout thing so they don't get self rewarded. I'm sure if you're consistant with it it'll work. I agree that I don't mind them barking when they run it's the barking at the handler which needs to be stopped.

The brain thing I probably can't help with as I have the same problem sometimes other than making sure you really know the course before you go in and don't watch how other people are running it as this is fatal Barking - don't shout back as this will probably just get him shouting even louder than you. I know it's a pain to throw a round at a show especially if you only have one dog to run but I would be tempted when he starts to bark just run for the finish as fast as you can so you are not carrying on with the 'game'. Wendy gave me this advice with Dudley when he starts. You can do it in training to so he learns that if he barks he doesn't get to play.

Jemimap - 30 is GREAT I loved it, you are old enough to do all the stuff you did when you were 20 but not feel embarrased and care what anyone else thinks Sorry about you boyfriend but you're best off without him if he can't even tell you face to face, buy yourself some 'toys' and get one with enjoying being 30.

Some of the breed specific forums can help with tracing family trees or you can get a 5 generation pedigree from the KC if you know her registration number.

She's really cute and you've taught her to do the washing up and make a cup of tea already

Well done you, I'll add that to your clear rounds.

I'm with you. I reckon Lottie is great, her Mum is just too slow.

Well done Morty.

Sorry to anyone who went to Newlands, Dudley's class started hours before I was expecting it to so completely forgot to got to the coffee place until a couple of hours too late. Perhaps if anyone is going to Agility Club this weekend we can try again.
