So this is the final chapter in my Greg Derrett Seminar series. It will finish off the Friday night seminar that concluded with Weaving and weave training and go into a run down of what we did at the final seminar on Saturday morning. The weave poles had been set up as usual. First let …

The Atopic Question
Having a dog that is atopic is not a light hearted matter. Raven was diagnosed around the age of 2 years old by Murdoch's dermatology department. She has been 'managed' all her life. I found this website today which gives a very complete and detailed analysis and coverage of treatments available. It's always good to …
Cool website
After rereading my post about Greg's thoughts on contacts I went and looked up Silvia Trkman's site again. I discovered she has uploaded quite a number of videos since the last time I visited and I was thoroughly entertained and mesmerised by them all. Especially the one of her 11 month old Border Collie Bu …
Facelift….RSS
No, not for me....for the blog. That Green was starting to invoke some feelings in me, none of them good....I guess it was a green colour that loses its appeal after a while. So here we are with a new layout. By the way I deleted my last post re subscribing via email (I discovered …
Greg Derrett…Chapter 4
Contacts! So this session was always going to be interesting to find out Greg's method for his contact training. Before he started in on it he tested all of us who had working spots to see what we were doing. There were 12 of us again and most of us had a form of two …

Please feel free to participate, particularly if you have an affinity …
The Raven turns 7!
Well my girl is 7 years old today. She doesn't look a day over 4 I swear! I will post a recent photo of her later (the one above is from last year)...will she have cake? I doubt it...might she get a beefy flavoured chewy raw hide treat...definitely. Now just need to find one that …
Cypher’s Health Stats Update
Good news received today, Cypher’s TNS test results came through on the email. Turns out he’s clear and not a carrier, so that’s good to know. TNS stands for Trapped Neutrophil Syndrome and it is a fatal disease for those affected. Now the test is available breeders will be able to start to eliminate the …
Western Classic Wrap Up
Well it was a mixed bag for my two furballs this weekend. This is Cypher’s first ever Western Classic and I am really pleased and satisfied with how he ran, his runs have been improving every time we stepped into the ring. He went clear in Masters Agility for his 5th pass and he just …
Western Classic Open Agility
This course ran quite well, amazingly enough out of 42 dogs that ran it only 1 went clear! I had a badly timed bar come down when I ran Cypher (handler needed sock for mouth) and Raven.....well you'd have thought I did frequent blind cross moves on her because she copped a refusal at #3 …
