Just to say Hello

[Ken Davison South Wales]

Welcome aboard Team Man, you might like to cut your teeth giving us older members a bit of support on the mobil phone thread, someone is trying to get us banned from driving

[Team Man]

They're flippin' noisy at times, I know that much

 

Will you be going to Crufts in a couple of weeks? I was hoping to get there as an observer this year and give a bit of support to a couple of the sams on the other forum, but it would cost too much - not only to get there, but also I'd want to buy most of the stuff they have for sale there! (we didn't know it at the time but ours was eligible for Crufts when we first got him - if we'd known, we would have entered him just for the experience!).

 

How good are Elkhounds with kids? The fact that sammies are very good with children was the main reason we went for the breed in the first place (I was just a kid at the time....)

 

Btw, I don't live too far from Spalding either, just on the other side of the Humber.

 

Take care, John

 

Noisy! Yes when they are exited but most of the time they are quiet, they are very good with kids but then most hound breeds are.

 

No I won't be going to crufts but my wife Jackie will be going on hound day, thats the Saturday.

 

What is the name of the kennels you got your Samoyed from.

 

We have shown in Beverley and at the Humberside hounds before they moved to snaith

The Samoyeds are judged on the Friday this year, if the Elkhounds were on the same day I was going to get those on the other forum to go and support your pup as well

 

Our latest hassling pest is from Samgold in Corby. They reckoned that Red wouldn't make the grade as an adult (even though he'd won several firsts in the puppy class) and were persuaded to part with him. Luckily we were the benefactors.

 

Please, don't ask why we have a white dog called Red....

Jackie hasn't shown at Crufts for nearly 5 years although we have had dogs qualify each year, She say's its a long day to keep an outdoor dog benched all day, you are not allowed to remove a dog untill 5pm and if you have been there since early morning, its too much for hound and handler, especialy when you are getting on a bit

 

We have one called Saxon although he's Norwegian, ......I once knew a Zebra called "Spot"

 

Samgold have one called Ruby Tuesday, so they may have had a litter starting "R", a lot of breeders name their litters in alpherbetical order, the next litter all the names would start with an "S"

 

If I knew how to put a Photo on here, I would show you our tribe.

 

Dogs are great time wasters

I agree, that is a long time to keep any dog cooped up. I've been to other shows before where they allow dogs in in the morning, and the bitches in the afternoon, and everything is over by 3.00pm. I suppose that with so many breeds to judge, they have to do it like that or else they'll still be judging at midnight!

 

Ruby Tuesday is Red's mum It's not to do with alphabetical order, it's just that when they're born, they are each marked with a different coloured marker - ours got the lipstick called Simply Red. His big sister is Scarlet O'Hara, and the boy they bred to replace him is called Blue.... Actually Singing the Blues - he's making a name for himself on the show circuit now

Hello John,

 

The reason you can’t take a dog out of Crufts before 5pm because the Kennel Club who run Crufts charge the public to come in to see the dogs so want the dogs on show all day even though you pay to enter your dog(s) yourself.

Even if you are not being judged until later in the day, it pays to get there early otherwise you have to park so far away and it is a long way to get your dogs and equipment into the show. Jackie would always aim to be there about 7.30, that means a very early start.

I can't believe I'm on a fishing site and all I've talked about is dogs........Perhaps I'll start on Speedway next
