Welcome, Dogster! Welcome back, and an especial welcome to our new subscribers! Really appreciate you taking the time to read Dog Potentials. This issue of Dog Potentials is full of fun info this week. You can get the entire low-down on the blog at http://dogpotentials.blogspot.com/, but here are the highlights: Coming up next month is Crufts. The dates are March 9-12, 2006. It's the oldest and largest Dog Show in the world. Their website is here: http://www.the-kennel-club.org.uk/crufts/cruftsframe.asp. IF you ever have the opportunity to attend this show, I urge you to go. The NEC is a fabulous venue for the show and Birmingham, England is lovely. In March, the flowers are beginning to bloom, although it's still chilly in England this time of year. You'll see breeds there that AKC and UKC here don't recognize--like the wire-haired Vizsla and too many others to name here. Their schedule is: Crufts 2006 Times and Dates: Thursday 9th March Working and Pastoral Friday 10th March Terrier and Hound Saturday 11th March Toy and Utility Sunday 12th March Gundog Open 8.15am to 7.30pm every day More Show News: The Combined Specialty Clubs of Louisville, Wednesday through Friday, March 15-17, in Louisville, KY. The Kentuckiana Cluster, Thursday through Sunday, March 16-19, in Louisville, KY. (entries for both these close March 1, 2006. Go to www.onifrio.com to enter online) The Maury Country Kennel Club, Franklin, TN, is having an all-breed conformation and obedience show Saturday and Sunday, March 25 & 26th. Entries close March 8. ~~~~ I believe I mentioned before that the forums are now fixed on Dog Potentials. C'mon over and post some. ~~~~ I have been thinking about offering the tricks books in both regular print size and large print size. I've also been thinking of doing the books in audio format. Would appreciate some input from you all on that. Just hop over to the blog and leave a comment, if you would, please. Would also like some input from you about whether you'd be interested in ebooks of old classic dog stories. Things like Jack London's stories (if the copyrights are clear), Albert Payson Terhune, who wrote collie stories, such as "Bob, Son of Battle," Eleanor Atkinson's "Greyfriar's Bobby," and other stories along those lines. It is my intent to make these available for a price, probably around $6-8 each, but that has not been decided. Your input there would also be greatly appreciated. Training Tip: Start your dog early on with massages. It allows you to teach the dog to be handled everywhere, which your vet will love you for, it allows you to keep track of any swellings or lumps that might crop up on the dog, and it will help in calming the dog. Wouldn't you be calmer after a massage? For complete articles/information, wag yourself over to http://dogpotentials.blogger.com *** That's it for now. Be sure to visit www.dogpotentials.com *** Legal stuff: I am not a professional dog trainer, but have spent time training dogs in conjunction with 4-H and as an instructor at PetsMart. Information in the blog and at Dog Potentials is from my own experiences and research. I cannot be responsible for what you do with the information provided, nor how you interpret that information. If you use tips provided in my blog, on the site, or in my articles, you do so at your own risk. |
