Our young cattle dog "Tiff" Brooksvale Mellae,Tiff is a daughter of our Erudite Holly BH WD1 and star of the Aussie movie Carnifex,Holly also works cattle and sheep,a true all rounder,Tiffs sire is our stud dog CH Morveiw Cattle Baron AKA "Bazz" Tiff has had a full cattle dog DNA test and has excellent results,she will be hip and elbow scored as soon as hitting 12 mnths ,she is an escape artist like her mum,an amazing jumper,high drive,noisy and a real thinker,quick to pick things up,good or bad,have plans to trial in IGP with her and hopefully breed her to an IGP dog(Frozen semen) pending hip and elbow scores,yes she can be a pain in the butt but thats the trade off sometimes .

As most of you Know I train and trial dogs in the sport of IGP,I have competed with Australian Cattle Dogs,German Shepherds and Belgian malinois in this sport,some of these same dogs have done noseworks stock work,rally and featured in multiple movies including Snowtown,Girl Asleep,Escape to Pretoria , Sam Fox Extreme Adventures a popular childrens TV series,The Stranger,Carnifex,Heavens Burning etc,our dogs are also family companions safe and trustworthy to take out amongst the community,they are certainly not Attack trained! IGP is a sport that requires a huge commitment and a great bond between dog and handler and like minded and enthusiastic club members.Dog and Cat Management Board, yes go after the puppy factorys
and the irresponsible dog owners with their untrained and mismanaged aggressive pets We are totally with you on that but our sport is not responsible for these dog attacks on people.Please everyone share this post,we may be the first group to be targeted but probably not the last,next in line could be your sport!Herding,Dryland sledding,agility etc ,the" Doing any thing with your animals is cruel brigade" have a loud voice

Fantastic weekend with these guys,massive thanks to Kieren and Aimee for organising this weekend, Sam was teriffic,could not have wished for better, Great people ,Great dogs,Great food and Great coffee,what more could one ask!

Over the weekend, we were lucky enough to have our good friend Sam Cheeseman, come down to Adelaide and deliver a private workshop on Decoy Development.

Sam has quite the impressive resume. With nearly 10 year experience as a Military Police Dog handler, before posting to the Special Operations Cell, specifically within the 2nd Commando Regiment . He has also completed his WGSDCA trial helper certification for IGP as well as his decoy certification for PSA. Sam is a NePoPo™ Gold School Graduate (under Bart Bellon) and runs his own small business Imperium Canine, utilising his many years of knowledge to help pet dog owners.

Not only is Sam very knowledgeable and skilled in his field but he is also an excellent teacher. Over the weekend he did a fantastic job teaching and coaching everyone, as many got to experience what it is like to be a helper/decoy.

While this workshop was aimed at those looking to improve their skills as a decoy/helper, it was incredibly insightful for dog handlers to understand what the decoy is doing and why. It helped handlers to learn how to work in harmony with the decoy, to achieve desired outcomes and for me personally, it gave me a much deeper understanding of just how much work is involved in being a decoy.

The weekend was nothing short of fun, with plenty of laughs along the way and it was great to see everyone get involved. It is always great to see the dog community come together and share our passion with one another. I am definitely walking away feeling very inspired.

Massive thanks to all who came along. Shout out to Equipped K9 for letting us use your incredible space and of course to Sam for sharing his time and knowledge with us.

If you want to learn more about the community we are creating around bite sports here in Adelaide, send a message to Equipped K9.

good advice

There are times when things don’t go well and it presents 2 options, get discouraged or turn it into motivation.
Failure is a lesson and often the first step is reframing challenges into learning opportunities.
Practice and staying motivated can be difficult for everyone at times.
By breaking things down into smaller steps, setting achievable goals, seeking expert advice, having a support group and focusing on connection instead of correction, you can push through low moments and continue your path towards being the best partner for your dog. macraeway.com
