I got to the show this morning, got Deccy out of the car and ...... he gave a couple of coughs put him back, he gave a few more.
What else could I do but withdraw him then I had the dubious pleasure of seeing the dog I beat last time out go BOB while Deccy whinged in the car as he was raring to go and couldn't understand why we weren't going in.
He's been checked over by a vet, seems like it's something and nothing, everything is normal and he hasn't coughed since we got home.
Couldn't take the risk though that it was something more serious.  ____________ Pretty Polly Pavey of Polidot - 06/08/1996 - 13/07/2006 - Dalspa Liquid Gold for Polidot 20/10/1999 - 08/05/2007 - Polly and Polo together again |

You'd only be slated if he dared cough when in the show!

Yes indeed! Probably for years to come and this is a small Country!
Still, Deccy has finished the year with 30 1st places, 3 group wins, 2 reserve group (2nd), 3 Green Stars & 11 Reserve, and became the first Dalmatian to win the title of Junior Diploma (Irish Junior Warrant).
What's missing one show to be on the safe side?
I'm just glad it wasn't anything more serious. ____________ Pretty Polly Pavey of Polidot - 06/08/1996 - 13/07/2006 - Dalspa Liquid Gold for Polidot 20/10/1999 - 08/05/2007 - Polly and Polo together again |

Mine are both done for Kennel cough, as they spend the working week at kennels during the day it is essential. However, it doesn't always stop every kind of virus possible, in fact Kennel cough comes in 4 forms, 2 viral and 2 bacterial, so there is always a risk of a minor incidence.
Green Stars... good point. As of 1st January 2007 the system is changing to 7 Green Stars under different judges. The previous system went on points according to how many dogs you beat and a few other complications thrown in
However, under the new scheme your current points get converted into fewer Green Stars than you probably have already Deccy will go down to 2 so another 5 to get. He's not two yet and still needs to mature so I think we'll do it in the end. I am hopeful for this year but you never know who's coming into the ring without warning with a better dog. ____________ Pretty Polly Pavey of Polidot - 06/08/1996 - 13/07/2006 - Dalspa Liquid Gold for Polidot 20/10/1999 - 08/05/2007 - Polly and Polo together again |
