austrailain shepard

[Juke]

i saw the obedience class, which was won by Ludo, a collie...........
he was glued to his owners side the whole time, and never took his eyes of her once. Was a joy to watch, but also made me feel it was not right to have THAT much control over a dogs mind. She totally controlled the dog, and I found that a little sad.

I also saw the 'sit and stay' test. That was amazing too. They sat and waited for 10 long mins, but in the end a few gave in.
If that was my 'scrumpy' he would probably last about 20secs then would get fcuked off with waiting, and attack the first dog he could get too......... :rolleyes: In fact, he would've done that as soon as he got there..........lol

Hah!
It's not mind control, to a collie, anything it does for it's person is a game/work. (Same thing.)
I use the obedience game as part of advanced training, it sharpens their attention.

A collie that isn't treated right doesn't look it's person in the face, it cowers.

Personally, I wanted the Norwegian Elkhound to win, just because they look so like my Japanese Akita. :D

im confused now?? my elk hound looked like a very large shepard with a tail that curled back towards the head!!! and yellow eyes!!! :rolleyes:

I wanted the Elkhound to win too (the Aussie Shepherd was my second choicer - first time I can remember a merle-eyed dog winning Crufts), although I was quite taken by the little Pomeranian and I normally don't like small dogs - but its lickle feet were so cute!

As I've said to Liz elsewhere, I reckon the star of Crufts was Yogi, the winner (along with his owner, Daniel) of the Friends For Live award. :)
