[quote user="Liesje"] I'll have to check. I've done more than one before and paid less for the second entry fees. [/quote] Entry fees depend entirely on what the club wants to do. I have seen where some will offer a reduced (package) price if you enter all available events you can enter for all days. There are no set rules on reducing fees except it must be available to everyone.

[quote user="rwbeagles"] Wouldn't an aggro Rooster or Tom Turkey, or Gander do as well? Course the rooster would give you more chickens but the turkey? they raise holy heck from what I hear and then you could take over with the gun or whatever's needed. [/quote] Guinea fowl are great noisemakers. Great for bugs also. I have known several people that had them and they sure put up a racket. But keep them separate from the roosters.

[quote user="cat0"]Coyotes do not take on dogs. They are scavengers and small animal predators.[/quote] Wrong. I coyote will take on anything it thinks it can defeat. Therefore a toy/small dog is game as are cats.

How about this one. Timmy was 6 months old in the pic. When Timmy first came home Sprite would just hold the rope for him to tug it. She acted like the anchor for him to tug against.

Ok they aren't blowing coat right now but this is an after bath brushout for Timmy. (And he doesn't looks like any hair is missing in fact he looks more fluffy after the bath).

[quote user="Liesje"] I guess from now on I have to setup and take down my entire agility course each time... [/quote] One thing is though if those kids got hurt you would be liable. You would need a secure fence to remove any liability from them getting hurt.

[quote user="erica1989"]ETA: you breed beagles. Well - I looked up the local beagle rescue, this is just ONE rescue in ONE town. There are tons more. They have 28 listed on their petfinder page. [/quote] Just to clarify the facts, yes they have 28 dogs listed but only 12 are identified as beagles, the other 16 others are identified as mixes. Remember also that the Tampa MSA is is over 2.5 million people so I would think that there would be a number of dogs available based on our population

Accoring to the Stella awards web site all the ones listed on that page are fabricated stories. http://www.stellaawards.com/bogus.html

[quote user="Dog_ma"] I can see how a rescue might do more harm than good in importing foreign dogs without being careful. There is a difference between importing foreign dogs into the U.S. (and Puerto Rico is not mainland) and transporting American dogs from overcrowded areas to less crowded areas. I don't understand what is so objectionable about that sort of transport?[/quote] Importing from the US makes sense since there are regional differences in the population numbers but when

[quote user="TexasDaisy"]Other Aussies may be different, but had anyone attempted to train my Bandit to help out around the house, he would probably end up turning the lights on & off or opening/shutting cabinets all day for self-amusement. We taught him to carry dirty socks to the hamper....but being an over-achiever, he also sneaks clean ones out of the sock drawer or brings you dirty ones again out of the hamper just so he can take them out of your hand & return them to the laundry
