Frozen January 2010
The recent Horizon TV programme tells us that
researchers claim that the hormone found in human mothers is released into the
blood stream when we fondle and talk to a dog. This therefore is some of
the reason why bonding takes place between human and dogs but ignores completely
the pack instinct where we become the substitute pack when a dog lives with us.

GOOD CITIZEN DOG SCHEME SPECIAL PRE-BEGINNER
OBEDIENCE STAKES HEATS FOR 2010
The Kennel Club has confirmed dates for
the heats of the Kennel Club Special Pre-Beginner Obedience Stakes 2010.
Heats will take place
from the beginning of May to the end of September, with each heat offering
one semi final qualifying place to a Border Collie/Working Sheepdog and one
qualifying place to an ABC (Anything But a Collie), which includes any type
of crossbreed.
Since its introduction in 2005, this
competition has encouraged Good Citizen Dog Scheme (GCDS) Bronze Award
achievers to take part in Obedience competitions. It builds on basic
training skills learnt through the GCDS and helps to bridge the gap between
basic training and entering a competition.
A trophy for the
winner, rosettes and prize cards (1st –10th place) are
awarded for each class. The qualifiers from each heat will receive a
certificate and an invitation to compete in one of the semi finals, which
are due to be held in October and November. The top ten BC/WSDs and the top
ten ABCs from each semi final will be invited to take part in the Grand
Final which is due to be held at DFS Crufts 2011.
