If you have been diagnosed with all your problems/conditions...... all the doctor needs to do is provide paper work of some sort and Bob's your uncle!! They can send it direct to them even!

And yes the doc's do it!!

No i dont know how expensive it is, having never showed dogs myself. But i am sure she has thought of that

I dont know what exactly she spends her money on, but those dogs are very well looked after. If she has to go without for the sake of them then so be it

I hope she has. A championship entry can be 25 quid for one class - two dogs, thats 50 quid. If you want to seriously show her dogs, you have to travel so petrol costs included which can be over 100 quid. You see where i'm going with this lols :lol:? When the show season starts this can be every weekend, sometimes twice a week. I'm not saying her dogs aren't very well looked after, they are lovely dogs from her pics.

Months is nothing when a dog requires rehabilitation and you haven't tried everything cos you haven't seen the behaviourist yet then there will be the months of rehabilitation work. So please don't make out you have tried everything. In fact, until you see the bahaviourist you haven't even scratched the surface.

I ment everything we can right now untill we see the behavourist

SL....you had all intentions of showing Alaska, then Kai was bought in, first to be shown then if he proved himself in the show world you were going to use him on Alaska.

Why are you not concentrating on these 2. Why bring another pup into the equation.

25 quid for one class - two dogs, thats 50 quid.

If showing dogs is anything like showing horses you have to campaign your dogs and get them known.. so that you are all recognised early mornings long days.. not great.. Stuck on sarnies or cafe food...

No special foods in them cafe's

£50 is a lot of money. I would probably struggle to find that once or twice a week for dog showing! Not including other costs.

An expenisve hobby indeed!

Can i just say, a doctors note isnt a free pass to every benefit as some people seem to think.
I remember my mum speaking to an advisor in the JC about applying for ESA as the doctor had signed her off work and the advisors response was "well your not that bad really, are you?"
You have to go to a medical which is hard to pass and extremely stressful.

My mum has been diagnosed with PTSD amongst other things, i went to her medical with her and some of it was complete bullsh!t (who ties your shoelaces? for example) but my mum passed despite the panic attack she took in there and she is now recieving alot of help.

I didnt know that 25 + 25 = 50!! :scared: :lol:

Yup costs a bloody fortune, even if you take a "pet dog" with you it must be NFC reg beforehand, can be up to £10 for the privelege lol

Not sure about dog shows.. but there isn't anything better than a sausage egg and mushroom bap to get ya going in the morning.. cause i never had any time for anything after that..lol :lol:

Yep that pretty much sums it up! You have to love it to do it lols :lol: Not to mention hours preparing the dog before hand! I brought that point up before in another thread that there would be no special food in at the dog shows - apparently they only intend to stay localish. I'm not sure how local they intend to stay when he has to eat every two hours at home? Not to mention the fact that they need to be going to championship shows up and down the country if they are serious about this. Not just the open shows. x

I have friends go to SFAS its for people who's horse shaven't been produced they do it all themselves.. sure the dog world has them.. well SL I dont think lives that far from me.. and I know that all the biggies are generally birmingham and down south can't see it being much different for dogs.. they set of the night before and sleep in tents..lol

It's not a class, you aren't allowed to take a dog to a show that hasn't been entered - it just pretty much means you can take your dog along with you. NFC stands for not for competition. It just means if people need to take pet dogs along too then they can and they will have an area where they can be benched ect x

 

[Devil-Dogz]

NFC means not for competition.

Castrated dogs can be shown 'normally' but the KC have to be informed of the operation.

I think...............

NFC is "Not for Competition" hun, if you bring a dog but dont intend to enter it into any classes.
Neuter dogs can still be shown
