My husband is a home brewer, and loves to say he's just thinking of the chickens' happiness when they get the warm spent grain. I am not buying it, but since it appears to be a win-win I'll go along!

Just a quick note to let you all know that all the sand I was offering last month has been taken.

Good point. There were about 20 pallets left this morning. I can keep an eye on it and post when we are down to the last two pallets. At that point people can PM me to see if there is any left. I need it all gone by mid January. Lanelle

Since it seems several people are interested in the free sand, the address for pickup is 20421 84th Ave S, Kent. It is the Panasonic warehouse. Go to the far end of the building and around the end. The sand is on pallets there. If you have a pickup and would like full pallet loads, we have...

Yes, please.

Hi, fairly new to the site and I have learned so much from everyone here. One of the things I learned about was the use of sand in runs to keep everything cleaner. It's worked great, thank you for the suggestion. In my day job, I am in the middle of closing down a huge warehouse in Kent. One of...

I happen to be in Kansas judging a water test, and am with an Aussie person. She recommends checking out Flo McDaniel. She's on FB.

I don't know much about Aussies but I do like that she clicker trains her puppies. Clearly someone that believes in titles on both ends.

Great advice. One of the biggest mistakes I see new people make is to fall for the first cute puppy they can find. I know how easy that is but if you want to be successful, particularly in a competitive breed like Aussies, take your time and spend the waiting time learning. It's just as easy to...

I have friends specialing dogs that spend $25K a year. I owner handle so that saves a lot! Entry fees, gas and hotels are the big expenses. I only do AKC conformation and obedience, other venues in agility. My breed specific sports are a whole 'nother batch of $$$... Still, if the dogs and I...

So funny, I was going to recommend Sue's site as well. She has some terrific methods. I have a friend that has shown Siberians in conformation for many years. It definitely takes a sense of humor and patience to be successful with them and not get too frustrated. It's definitely not too late...

If Falcon is from Ohio I know who his breeder would be. As you say, small world!

Not really, I know one other person in the Newf world with beagles but I'm sure there are many less active that I don't know. Most Newf people have Porties or Norwich as their second breed. I don't know Tanya or Falcon but it sounds like she has great taste in dogs!;)

Hi there, I started showing dogs in my late teens (many moons ago!) and currently show Newfoundlands and beagles in both conformation and multiple performance events. In general, a junior that shows they are serious about the sport, comes to and/or volunteers at events and is willing to learn...
