Welcome to our own little piece of showdog.com.

IRL, I show beagles...

How about everyone else??

Hi All,

Don't know if I qualify for this forum as I now live in Switzerland, but I did grow up in Australia (Victoria) and visit there as often as possible. I hope one day we will live there again, but for now Switzerland is also a great place to be.

Beaglemum, where in Oz do you live? As kids we always had beagles (show failures which is why they came to us ). We were also members of the Victorian Beagle Club.

These days in RL I have four rescued greyhounds. I still love beagles (there are 2 in my SD kennel) but they do take a lot of work and commitment - maybe one day....

Cheers,
Swissgreys.

HI Swissgreys

I am in Victoria myself, and I am committee member of the BCOV (busy organising our National in 2 weeks time!)

Beagles DO take a lot of commitment, but I love my three to death, but three is definitely enough.... for *now*

I don't quilify either since i'm in NZ.

But HI everyone!
I posted my own intro post

New Zealanders are most welcome!!

Yeah for the Aussies!
I'm an Australian, living in Queensland.
I own two beautiful Golden Retrievers, like I do on the game.

I have siberian huskies and shiba inus and live in Queensland

hi im from queensland and own 2 coicker spainels and a german rottie X

one day i am going to have alaskan malamutes

Im half aussie
Live in Sweden
2 ESS, 1 rabbit, 2 scalares, 1 mouse and 50 guinea pigs...

Gee I'm slack for not posting earlier!

I'm in Victoria, Australia (down the a-h end of VIC, in Warrnambool, where it's Windy, Wet and Cold!). I have a Great Dane IRL that I used to show (*he's no longer entire after last week!), a Greyhound that I race AND will soon be showing - I've been showing JRT's for about 13 years, and still own JRT's that are now in my friend's stud (retired from showing, but still hunting).
I do a lot of handling for other people in the shows, but I still don't consider myself very good at it (I haven't been around long enough to be considered a "face" yet).
And I am a Greyhound Adoption Program (GAP) foster parent - as well as being the local GAP contact.

Cheers! BDT - Great Danes, and ThundaDownUnder - Greyhounds

Hi BDT.. I have seen you around on the site. didn't realise you are an aussie.... let alone a Victorian.... A girl I work with has 2 Danes, a black and a 'fawniquin' (not recognised I know....) doesn't stop her from breeding though... grrrrrrrrrrr

im from queensland in the-well some could call it outback-town of tara. its about 500km from brisbane.
p.s LOVE showdog

Hey fellow aussies.....Im from the beautiful Yarra valley in Vic, Ive got a 4 year old rottie and a naughty 11 month old doberman that took alot of work to find as she is brown and born in Perth. Loving SD at the moment but still trying to figure out all the changes to COI's!!

Hi all, I live in the ACT, i used to show dogs in RL, dalmatians, but now I have 2 pet APBT's which I love. I want to return to the showring one day, but for now showdog is a great substitute- requires a lot less money, time and effort than RL

I was born in Victoria, moved to Darwin when I was eight, moved to Brisbane when I was ten, then to Cairns for two years, then back to Brisbane for a year, then out to Millmerran (which is a little town in the darling downs in QLD) then over to Perth in Feburary this year to study at TAFE. I'm Doing an Architecture course.
I have a Dingo X Smithfeild Red Cattle Dog, named Digger, and my Mum has a Bull Arab bitch named Dustee.
I also have a cat named Chevey (he fluctuates between evil, nice and arrogant) four Cockateils and a Siamese fighting fish named George; before we moved to Perth I had another dog who had to be put down four goats, an Angus cow named Shadow, two geese named Velvet and Vulcan, a bearded dragon named Spider and lotas of chooks and pigions. we had to get rid of them all since we couldnt bring them all over with us.

I'd better stop waffling on.
Buy!!

wow you had a lot of pets! i used to have a horse, dusty who died earlier this year (we worked out he was between 30 and 35) i currently have a ACD Chiot, A black cat, pepper, a budgie Drakken, Six African peachface lovebirds and two goldfish. I used to have 3 cattle, holly, harry and gypsy, a Swiss white shepherd and a pomeranian Also, i am a wildlife carer so i often have kangaroos, wallabies possums and owls in various parts of the house.

eta. I also used to have 2 more cats, quizzy who was blind and a full sister to my current cat, Dennis (who our idiot neighbour shot in the shoulder and had to be put down) and Clarrisa (not related to pepper).

Great!
I got two more Siamese fighters yeaterday, females, a dark red-brown named Xena and a white one named Rose. George is going crazy! LOL!
I also got a new cockateil who we finaly named Lilly, though it took us a week and about thirty names to end up with that.
I am also thinking of getting a rabbit soon, my sister wants a guinnie pig, but I don't like them, we had to take care of them in primary school and they were noisy, dirty and bit us all the time no mather what you did or didn't do to them.
I am trying to find an Irish Wolfhound breeder, since I am very interested in owning one, and I have been thinking about getting a Norwegian Fjord when we go back home.
Easy to tell I love animals, hey?

Well, im from Perth, WA. I show dogs, I didnt have any dogs as the place I live is too small, however when roxy came into our live ( a X Bred) we couldnt part. I am currently researching my breed of choice before i enter into a long life with them.

I grew up with Shih TZu, then later on Great Danes, I love both of these breeds dearly, however Shih Tzus are too much work and Great Danes are too big!

Speak to you all soon
