FlyDogz writes "PRESS RELEASE
FOR EUROPEAN FLYBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS
On 26th, 27th and 28th May 2007, the British Flyball Association will be hosting the 9th European Flyball Championships at Loseley Park, Guildford, Surrey. This will be the first time this event has taken place in the UK.
This tournament is expected to attract a large representation of teams from all over the UK, it is hoped also to attract teams from many European countries including Belgium, Germany, Austria, Spain and the most recent country to take up Flyball, France.
This tournament is expected to be the largest seen in the UK with places for at least 84 teams.
Flyball is a fast and fun team relay race for dogs and is one of the fastest growing dog sports in the world.
Teams are seeded in divisions and race against six or seven teams of a similar speed. Four dogs race in turn over four low jumps, collect a tennis ball from a special box, then return over the jumps. The winning team is the first to get all four dogs back with no mistakes.
It is also hoped to have TV coverage at this prestigious event.

| New Training & Behaviour Mini Encyclopedia |
|
Interpet Publishing have expanded its Mini Encyclopedia range to include a book on Dog Training & Behaviour. This big subject is exceptionally well covered in a small (but chunky), comprehensively written and illustrated book. Readers cannot fail to learn the basics of how to live contently and rewardingly with their dog. Potentially all dog owners will benefit from this book.

| mot your pets to keep them safe |
|
Hi everyone,
During my time with Lost Labs and the wonderful people I have met we have all found identifying a dog for the owner can be very difficult at the best of times and is compounded if there is no microchip or tattoo present or where the last photo was a puppy pic for example.
Even if your pet is chipped they can migrate or simply stop working over a period of time.
With the numbers of stolen dogs having risen to approx 250 a month and over 5000 animals in general, it is a sad fact that as animal lovers we need to go beyond the realms of yestayear to protect our pets.
Apart from the microchipping and the ever increasing popularity of Tattooing, there is a growing and necessary thought pattern of all those connected with any form of missing dogs to take extra measures to protect our dogs.
So, sit down one day with your pet and just spend half an hour going over him. Note everything down.
Any marks, scars, hair regrowth from injury or surgery.
Take a look in their mouth, are there any blotchy marks on the gums or inside the mouth. How are the teeth? Are both top and bottom teeth straight or are some crooked or missing?
Check the paws and nails, are they all the same colour?
The coat, is it all one colour or are there variations? Does the tail etc have any feathering? Is there an obvious ' mane '?
Is you pet stocky or leggy? Does it have a limp or a perculiar or different gait?
Make a list of your full body check and then take photographs. Full face, both profiles ( sideways ) and full body.
Retake photograghs regularly so you always have a recent photo in case the unthinkable should happen.
