mouseatthebusstop Posted November 3, 2002 Posted November 3, 2002 :( we had paddy in a show today he did not get anywhere. when he is in the ring (only in the ring) he shakes his head as if there is something in his ear, his ears are clean and fine he also does it sometimes at ringcraft. we are new to showing this was only his third show any-one got any idea why? :o Quote
Guest roo Posted November 4, 2002 Posted November 4, 2002 It could be the show lead or collar, what sort do you use to show with, if i use a certain collar on Pud in the ring he always scratches like hes got fleas or something. i tried a different lead and collar and no more scratching :lol: Roo Ps what show did you go to?

mouseatthebusstop Posted November 4, 2002 Author Posted November 4, 2002 I was useing an ajustible half correction coller. at ring craft he was shaking his head someone said try another coller. yesterday he had a leather combi, the coller had the half correction chain on it. It cannot be fleas I use frontline, we are thinking it might be nerves but he does enjoy people talking and making a fuss of him out-side the ring Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted November 11, 2002 Author Posted November 11, 2002 :) we had Paddy in a show again, we got there early the judge was late stuck in traffic the show it was in a sports centre plenty of room we kept carm and so did Paddy no head shaking :) Quote
Guest roo Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 Mouse did paddy get a place???????? Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted November 14, 2002 Author Posted November 14, 2002 yes third, fourth and a VHC but only because there where not enough dogs in each class. Each time he came last :) Quote
Guest roo Posted November 14, 2002 Posted November 14, 2002 He may still have got those places with 20 in the class. Just remember you always take the best dog home :wink: Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted November 14, 2002 Author Posted November 14, 2002 :) Thanks Roo, I know I took the best dog home, wouldn't have swopped him for any of the others Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted March 5, 2003 Author Posted March 5, 2003 Paddy qualified for crufts. I do not know untill last weekend. When someone else told me :( Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted March 5, 2003 Author Posted March 5, 2003 it's too late now. I underestimated him :oops: Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted March 5, 2003 Posted March 5, 2003 Wow, Mouse I never knew you showed your dogs! Or is it just Paddy that you show? I know next to NOTHING ('cept that the dogs are sure perdy! :D ) about dog showing, so you'll haveta teach me somethings some day! :D Did you try asking your vet, or a behaviorist about the head shaking? I'm sure someone out there must have the answer! I doubt he's doing it "just for fun"! :lol: Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted March 5, 2003 Author Posted March 5, 2003 the head shaking is stress. that show was in a small hall all the dogs were very close together. We arrived on the last minute. Whch did not help. That was the only time he did not get placed. At some other shows he got places because there were only a few dogs in his class Gladis is not show qualty but I have shown her in a few small shows just for fun. :D Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted March 6, 2003 Posted March 6, 2003 well, at least you know what it was now... Oh, and thanks for sending that thing Mouse! (I'm guessing it was you since it says "Just a little bit of news to keep you going until our own 'Paddy's Day Show' ... " :lol: that's really cool :wink: Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted March 6, 2003 Author Posted March 6, 2003 That was not me. I got one of those as well, Now we know where they got the e.mail addresses from :) Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted March 7, 2003 Author Posted March 7, 2003 PADDY'S SHOW NAME IS "IRISH CREAM" I TOOK IT AS A PERSONAL INVITE Quote
