Our pet pictures

A half a Hoover, how cute. Now we know why you took to Hoover so much. Are you sure you didn't "steal" Hoover and give him a dye job.

some nice new pics of Luke ....






I just LUV grooming my own dogs

Stunningly presented Tammy, a beautiful drape on the coat - so are you showing this weekend - or can't you leave those babes?

You could teach the Skye people up here a thing or two.

Jan

no Jan,.....we did show on Sunday just gone,BOB,got a run for the group, but no banana .....
I was supposed to go down the Mount over Easter,but not with the babies. No instead i will be home with 16 dogs to care for! Not all my own of course !

He is such an impressive and imposing boy, i'd love to see hm shown over here.

Tammy, he just looks unbelievable...... I love seeing your work. Like Da Vinci, Picasso, works of art!!!

AW,you know Luke ,so you know he's just naturally handsome .....not much for me to improve on.

Tammy, is his coat tied up between baths? or oiled? What about urine staining?
Just curious coz i'd never be able to have an afghan or shih tzu (that was being shown) not tied up and oiled.
Just wondering if he has an easy coat to manage. Thanks!

Stunning pics Tammy...He really is a very handsome boy!...Congrats on the BOB!!

Congrats Tammy. He is looking great, and it won't be long till you get a group hey?

He looks absolutely stunning.....dont you just love the look of a coated dog....Andie I used to love seeing the Carloway ?? afghans in Adelaide in the late 60's So regal. Tammy, I saw a picture of a skye in a magazine (not old) of a dog impoted from germany with low ears....Not a close up photo so couldnt really capture the expression....So different....Love the erect ears though....adds so much character...

Andie,no wrapping,no oil......All i do with Luke is keep him kenneled a fair bit,in his run.He gets out several times a day and has a run in the garden and a play with the other dogs(he lurves all the other dogs )....but he is kenneled on his own or with our little mutt dog sometimes ,as even 2 minutes of 'neck bite play' can wreck months ,years,of coat growth.Other than that,weekly bath no matter what. Any old shampoo,rinsed through in the hydrobath (no hand scrubbing) ,then some conditioner,whatever's going at the time,just rinsed through ,again,keep fingers out of the coat.
Then....i use the HV with no concentrator nozzle to dry him . I DO NOT use a brush in his coat while drying.No fluff drying,no stretch drying....just carefully force dry all the way . Once he is dry i carefully brush through with my silver LesPooch brush ,then comb through once with a CC comb.....THATS IT !
between baths i NEVER 'brush him out'. If by chance he gets grubby or knotty,then its back to the bath . I NEVER brush a dry coat....with the exception of immediately after a bath,or show days where i use a brass pin brush & comb ,but that all happens just a few hrs after his bath . If showing the next day,we do the whole bath again.
their hair is fairly course and really quite easy to keep. From experimenting with a million products,i have found going back to the most basic products and routines is best,and keep tools and hands out of the coat .
I have gotten over all the products pushed as the next big thing,or the winning edge etc ,and now just do what i feel really works for me.....and hey,its a lot cheaper too.
I also believe that unless you feed right( for me thats 100% RAW),it doesnt matter what you throw in or on a coat .

Tammy, the picture of the skye terrier was in the Dog News Australia (newspaper). The dog won BOB at Canberra royal (2008?) Have you seen it...?

yes i saw the pics of the Skyes in DNA. Actually the names for the 2 dogs are the wrong way around. The dark grey dog is Touch of frost of morningsky & the blonde drop eared dog is Rusalkas jefferson.

Just my opinion, but the drop-earred is EWWWWWW! LOL!

its a shared opinion

drop eared???............. Are they naturally born with floopy ears????

again not exactly 'pets' ,but regular visitors all the same . make yourselves right at home there guys !

Trying to post pet pics from memory stick..here goes...[img][/img]

Well....that certainly didn't work

This is the male puppy I bred and kept "Loana Louis Lamour" stacked by a friend at Lismore Show last year. He is now in continental clip.

I managed to stuff the writing, but at least got a picture on....BTW he is a full brother to Brooke's lovely boy, Jet.

Nice Mutley..Are you still showing him?

Thanks Donna,
He's been out since April due to the economy forcing me back to full-time work but if I can work around the grooming I'm hoping to do ;)he and his sister (she's already titled) will be back in next year. That's the beauty of the boys - you've got forever. However, he is a bit of a sook (my fault) so I need to jazz him up a bit. I'm a poor "showie" - they run around the farm, swim in the dam, sleep on my bed and wrestle endlessly - love 'em all to bits.

love those long tails. Wish Nat had hers intact but I don't think the person i got her from was sure which pup she was gonna sell me so she docked them all. I also think she wasn't planning to give me a whiter one but nat is pretty white..well, more pink..but not cream, like the MOm.
But then, I'm white blind and don't have alot of knowledge about these things anyway. I just know she is color-able.


I also have no idea how to stack a dog... obviosly.. but she's so sweet, I love her so much, and Mingi-Dingi too!
