Hi All

I am off to Condobolin on 11th Aug for a month.  It is the start of the Western Show Circuit for dogs.  The park will be booked out for most of that time and will have approx 400 dogs camped there.

The dogs are all kept under control and are generally quiet, the park and town do really well for the time they are there and really cater to the  doggy people.

If you are not dog orientated, it will be a good place to avoid, if you like dogs and want to see a huge variety of different breeds, then come along.

You will definately need to book as camping is limited, with all the dog people pre booked.  I will have my GN sticker on and my border collies, so if you do get there, look me up, ask for Mervena at the office.

Cheers
Allara

Allara, do your dogs do "Flyball"?
Have enjoyed watching this and noted that Border Collies like yours seem to do better at it than any other breed, although kelpies are pretty too. The best part about watching flyball is the huge enjoyment those dogs get from it, I always leave grinning. smile

Hi Gert
No they don't do flyball yet. I have a young girl that hasn't made size for the show ring so I may train her for flyball, and obedience. They do work on the farm though, chasing the sheep and the mother, Maggie is good with cattle as well.
There was a show on TV of dog sports and that was a lot of fun, they had dogs jumping off a platform into water and measuring how far they went, like long jump, it had me in stitches.
If I find the site I will post it.
Cheers
Allara
