With outbreaks in Scotland, N. Ireland and the whole of England - pretty much everything involving groups meetings will be cancelled.

This could go on for a long time.

I just hope that it hasn't made the crossing into Europe - otherwise we could be in for real problems.

Tim Bomford

Yup, the girlfriend is really pi$$ed off as she shows Cocker Spaniels and I wanted to go have a look as I may have to get involved now I have a 12wk old Welsh Springer spaniel (and the teeth marks to proove it!)

Can F&M be spread to animals like dogs and cats?

I know that they can carry it - but can they suffer from it as well?

Tim Bomford

They can carry but not get it. Has to have "cloven hoof" to catch it.

Markus

Tim,
Ah, someone who shows doggies! nice. Our weim is a bit too bouncy to be a showdog, otherwise I could really see SuzyQ showing off Maggie.

Was looking forward to seeing other weims and gundogs (hence going on 'gundog' saturday)

We've got the added problem of finding somewhere to walk maggie, as we're in the countryside in kent, now there has not *yet* been an outbreak but we don't want to spead it around, if it's around, plus SuzyQ is a stablehand, so it's doubly difficult.

To be honest, I can't really see how they could have put the show on. It's a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't.

At least it shows support for the famers, god knows they need all the help they can get

Yex

Shame really as I was looking forward to seeing the father of my youngest golden retreiver in the ring again. He had a decent shout at getting a bit further than last year as the judge this year likes darker dogs.

Heho....there's always next year, and hopefully my youngest will be qualified by then

Tim Bomford

I too was going to go on Gundog day seeing as all ours are.....Get in touch when the re-scheduled day is and I'll meet up wit'cha.

but not as cute as ( )


<B>Maggie!</B>

our lovely Weimaraner puppy, well she was a puppy when the pic was taken the day after we got her. She's now a year old and a complete nutter, but we love her to bits.

Tim,
will drop you a line when (if? ) it's re-scheduled, and we'll meet up, can talk about dogs or scoobs, or both!

Yex

Another cracker,

I don't have access to a digital camera to post a piccy of my youngest goldie, now nearly 3 years old and still growing

I'd like to meet up with you guys when the show is rearranged, girls can talk dogs etc we can sup beer and talk about other things

Yex

Yex

Aaaaah,

My youngest goldie was as cute as that at about 12 weeks old...just wait until it gets to about 8 months, perpetual motion

Yex

Markus

Yex,
up for that as well,
hey maybe we should get meet going for crufts

SuzyQ will probably talk about cars and I'll talk about the dogs!!!

taz

OH DEAR!!!!!!

It looks like we are going soft. All this doggy talk on sccobynet. Maybe we should call it doggynet.

Anyway ive got two Bernese Mountain Dogs but they are c**p and could qualify for a pension never mind Crufts but we were supposed to be taking our friends Newfoundland to show and he is massive.

Taz.

salsa-king

Tim Bomford

Back on now. May the 27th 2001 (F+M permitting) See you there?

Tim

Markus

hmm, 27th, that'll be a sunday then, think saturday was better, but hey, we can't change the dates.

as I've got tickets I'll be going, think we're aiming to be there for doors opening, so that should be around 8:15am

i'll post if I'm deff going, and we'll arrage a time and place to meet up.

sound ok?

Yex

If the 27th is the Gundog day we will almost certainly be there, may even bring the Scoob as its a Sunday, usually go by train.

Taz, what's the name of the Newfoundland you're bringing as we both adore these and would like to meet a "large" one face to face, we can easily find you by looking through the dogalogue

Yex

PS: Probably won't get to see you on the Sunday Taz as apparently the Newfoundlands are now in the Pastoral group....what's all that about
