Fabulous - glad you both enjoyed it  ;) I don't know if Dax will do the no 2's or the really long wee (chances are he will) but I reckon its a dead cert he'll gobble up the rubber mats if I'm not careful  :005: Let us know how you go and when you enter a show  ;)

I will be there buying it tomorrow.  :005: I wouldnt mind but for such a little dog his poops really smell.  ph34r

Do you think the OH may have overdone the carrot? I have only been giving half but he has just admitted to giving him a full one.  ::)

You might find it helpful as you progress to practise in front of a big mirror in between classes  ;) even just for a couple of minutes a couple of times a week. Remember what you see in the mirror is what the judge see's when looking at your dog when judging.
Glad you had a good time  :D

I'm glad it well went for you.   Would love to try it but not brave enough - think Indie's too old to start now anyway.

Not everyone starts early though do they.  ;) Give it a go, it really was good fun.  :D

Just got back from ringcraft and we enjoyed it even more this week.  :D

Alfie loves it, his tail doesnt stop wagging until we leave.

No embarassing toilet mishaps either this week either.  :005:

Everyone is lovely and helpful which helps lots too. He is so funny the way he walks nice then that 'puppy' flick of the legs kicks in.  :lol2:

Defo think we need to practice a bit more, can anyone suggest how often we should practice, I dont want to overdo it and bore him silly.
