Anyway, back on track. RCGSP, when are you getting a tweed three piece?

It'll be a cold day in hell

for a minute there Pointer I thought you were referring to the bidability of the paticipants that prefere moose hunting attire

'cos after all the money we spend on the dogs and their training there isn't anything left over for us to look posh! I do wish I had thought to take that awful beanie off though!

lol Corrine ,I think the woman should lead the fashion charge -its not that expensive.No reason girls cant wear the mens stuff if it fits.check some affordable tweed out here

I keep forgetting El B, who was the one wearing the $2 shop rain coat?

Its often dissapointing to finally see someone in the flesh and they do not even remotely live up to the mental image you have made of them.

In your case El B this is certainly not the case.



Oh and by the way, you have a spot of somthing on your camera lens. Its rather annoying.

Thankyou KiwiJames , yeah I know , that bloody oil spot on the sensor !!!
I tell you that $2 shop rain coat wind breaker was a life saver with the weather on Saturday being so cold but not that the dog liked it when I tried to keep him a little dryer at the Sundays Novice trial .
Its very satisfying to see good dog work especially with few faults and none that exclude you from furthering you position but as one knows on any given day it could be the dog you beat that beats you next !!

What did you forget his yellow poncho this time?

Best get yourself a proper rain coat

I like that dog coat !!

You see a lot of those coats on the Scandinavian dogs at trials. However, as the picture depicts, I see more use from them in shorthaired breeds, not a bloody setter, a weatherproof breed if there ever was one

But they're wimps

i want a couple for my dogs

Our 2 have Drizabones for when its wet out,
