    Awww he's adorable!

    My phone is terrible for taking photos, especially inside! My camera doesn't like taking photos inside either even with the flash on.

    Outside however, it's awesome :D

    Here's some snaps from last Saturday, that's me with my mums new dog. Mum is having some health problems so I got roped into showing Molly... little bee wouldn't get her tail up because right as she entered the ring a guy decided it would be a good time to advertise raffle tickets over the loud speaker :rolleyes:

    Did she place shaz?

    She's a lovely looking dog.

    Gorgeous Shazzy. One of these days I am going to try my hand at showing. I think I would love it.

    You would Bella it's so much fun! More fun with a dog where you don't have to panic about crushing their hair!

    She got Best of Breed Red, wasn't expecting anything more as they have only had her a week and she's still settling in. That was only the 3rd time I had met her so she wasn't very comfortable with me.

    I took Cyrus along for the day, he wasn't entered but thought he could tag along for some socialising and practice.

    And well... we have had a breakthrough! He actually runs with his head up and doesn't drop it any more! I think it was mostly the cold weather making him a bit nervous/skittish but on Saturday it was lovely and he trotted along like a little trooper!

    Good to hear Shaz, I love seeing your show pics. If I ever get into it, you need to be my mentor! :D

    Wow, that is impressive. Best of Breed .

    How much time do you spend on her grooming?

    Congratulations on the Best of Breed. She should have a very good future ahead of her.

    I am glad Cyrus figured out where his head is. :D

    Thanks Cat, I guess the penny dropped finally!

    And of course Bella, I'll give you a crash course in handling :D

    How much time do I spend on grooming her?
    Oh you make me laugh, I sat back, enjoyed a beverage and watched mum do it :D
    She has to be fully brushed through every second day, that takes about an hour. Her whole head and neck as sectioned and banded so it doesn't matt.

    For the show it takes about 3 hours the night before then about an hour at the actual show.
    Dryng takes about an hour and you have to constantly brush to get the hair as straight as possible, then scissoring can take anywhere from an hour to 2 hours.

    The hair on her head as banded at the base and then teased and hairsprayed.

    My recommendation... never buy a show poodle.

    Teased and hair spray, sounds like my typical Saturday night...

    That was pretty good 'best of breed'

    If there was a prize for 'breed who barks at birds,flies,shadows,leaves,the wind' my dog would be in with fair chance.

    He's protecting the back yard,but forgets to stop barking.

    Well at least he protects it I spose :D

    Great pics shaz! That's a lot of hair, but beautiful:)

    I spend 1/2 an hour a dog just on the ears, but that's because they like to eat the brush:rolleyes:
  • Aug 30, 2010, 04:49 PM
    shazamataz

    I HATE brushing ears with a passion Dahlia, which is why I shaved both of mines ears short :D
    I'm growing them back now because it looks prettier but give me a couple of months and they no doubt will be back short again :D

    My loaned out camera was returned so I thought I would post a few pictures of Muttley that you can actually see.

    Thanks to all of you.

    I kind of like him myself. He is too much fun.

    He is smart, easy to train, doesn't shed or bark.

    He is a bit spoiled...

    So if I can find out who is sneaking in and spoiling him.. I'll have an almost perfect little dog.

    New pictures of Chloe at almost 10 months old and her new favorite toy. We thought about getting a larger one, but we don't have any building we want demolished. What can I say, Hurricane Chloe fits her. :rolleyes:

    She's beautiful and growing strong! :)

    And her left ear being down as opposed to her right ear makes her look funny! :p

    The left ear is a personal quirk. She lets it flop like that on purpose. You have to catch her when she's not thinking about it and it stands beautifully.

    Cats your dog looks amazing...

    The sheen on her coat! She's a credit to both of you.

    Thanks, Red and Unky. :)

    It is amazing that she is still black with the amount of time she enjoys sunbathing. :rolleyes:

    First of all I really want Muttley, he is just too cute, my next dog will have to be that kind and hopefully I will get lucky at a shelter like you did.:D

    And WOW Chloe is beautiful! Her hair is so shiny. She looks so Regal:D

    Chloe is a beautiful dog.
    Even in the photo you can see her coat is fantastic.
    She looks strong and fit, easy to tell she is WELL taken care of.
    Great dog.

    Thanks man. She is another in the long line of examples that a Dobe's person has to stay smarter than the dog twenty-five hours a day.

    She is absolutely gorgeous. A fine specimen for sure :D

    I love the first picture, it's almost like she is saying "who me"?

    The Facebook album didn't post. Try saving them on your computer, then attaching them to a post.

    Cyrus would one day like to star in adult films.

    Please find attached photo as part of his portfolio.

    I guess his screen name could be 'hung'!

    Is that a saddle on his back?

    Seriously,what is that?
