Wendy ..yes anyone can come along ..you can enter the Nat Apt (for entry form contact Lynn O'Connel ) then come along and decide  if you want to enter your dog ..there will be plenty for you to do ...sitting about eating chatting .giving basic agility a go.....giving retreiving a go in a scurry..prize for the fastest
And Wendy has said (see below) she will run an "informal school" puppy or older   just any owner/dog needing advice on how to keep everyone happy.
As Wendy says the food is always excellent  we have for the past few years had a top Scottish chef on hand to cook..we use only Scottish ingredients so excellent...and if staying over to second day at Border Union  drinks may be on hand too........

Just a reminder that the LMC are holding a Natural Aptitude test @ Kelso Cowbog Farm TD5 8EH. on 19th June 2010 (day before Gundog day Border Union ) (camping may be available please contact us) All HPR breeds are welcome Prof. Sheila Crispen will be running an eye testing session (at a greatly reduced fee )All breeds welcome please note the Kennel Club now require all dogs have PI (personnel identification) Microchip or Tatoo so your dog will require this in place before eye test can be done.

For futher information go to scottishmunsters.co.uk This is a "natural" aptitude test so your dog does not need to be trained!! come along it is a good fun day
Food will be available BBQ. Bacon rolls strawberrys and cream
We will have a scurry. And some agility modules. And a puppy school run by a expert trainer Wendy. Come along and give your dog a fun time and yourself

Good Morning,

Well, what a fantastic weekend!!!! Great Weather, Great Company, lot & lots of Lovely Munsters - ABSOLUTE HEAVEN!!!!!

So much to say about the weekend. Saturday was a great success - well done to Helen for organising it. Big thanks to the judges for coming up & making the day so enjoyable for all those who took part too & Finally a BIG WELL DONE to those handlers whose dogs achieved a pass - especially our Junior Handlers, Erin with Paws & Polly with Douglas. Well Done Guys you did a great job. The eye testing clinic went well too - so thanks to Prof. Sheila Crispen for making the journey up to run it for us. I didn't run Elvis in the Nat Apt myself as I was busy helping on th Admin for the eyes in the morning & then I was helping with thr BBQ at lunchtime. Elvis did get a run though in the afternoon & he had a ball playing with all the dogs. It was lovely to see so many new faced @ the Nat Apt. Elspeth, Gregor & Ceilidh, John, Polly & Douglas, The Bowes family with their gorgeos little puppy Brodie & not forgetting John, Fiona & the very handsome Aero who was as yummy as ever. Honestly, it was a fantastic day & I can't wait to do it all again next year!!! Oooops, almost forget, big big thanks to Eric & Fiona who manned the food tent at lunchtime - making sure everyone had everything they needed.

Yesterday was another lovely day out. Everyone was in high spirits & chatty. Vicky, it was great to see you & your family. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your weekend - so glad the weather stayed nice. Need to get planning the BIG celebrations for next year - isn't that right Vicky???!!! Big party in a field sounds like a good plan!!!LOL I was very pleased with Elvis' 2nd in Limit - again he behaved well so that was the most important thing. 

All in All it was a brilliant weekend - Thanks

Well I am off on my holidays this week - I fly out to Nerja in the Costa Del Sol on Thursday for 10 days. I can't wait.

I hope those of you going to any shows (Blackpool, Windsor or Dundee Open Show) have fun & do well. Also any of you who are going to Hall Barn, I hope you have a fantastic time - can't wait to hear all about it when I get back. I know Polly & Douglas will be giving it a go - so good luck to you 2. I am sure you'll do brilliantly!!!

Franorst Paws for Erine   paseed her Nat app       well done Erin  and Paws also   John and Aero passed  & Polly & Douglas passed Well done all these people too  especially as they are new munster owners  .
Ellie & Suki & Spring  only failed on the tracking (keep taking the tablets)  Elvis did not sit as Pam was Chief Catering officer.........have put some pictures on  here at scottishmunsters.net for starters  as we are off to Border Union Champ show now

I think I have sorted it  I too was getting emails  telling me about "track back"
from Scottishmunsters.com   I think they are spam  and I disabled email alerts  so ....we will
see.
Any one else camping in Pingus field? I think there may be 3 partys there
Pingu will be excited??!!
So are we.....working hard on Sukis "swimming"

In the end Rhys was laughing so much he fell over       & Suki left in disgust?!!

Wendy,

Do you think Elvis & I (well probably more I actually ;-) ) could book some time with you next weekend?? Elvis is a million times better than he used to be but I do still find it hard to make myself "EXCITING" enough for him to come back to me on a walk. He will come back if we are out with other dogs, as if he's following by example, but when it's just him & I I often get what we scots call "Rubber Eared"!!! Any help or advice you could give me would be much appreciated.

Pam

We will all be at Border Union  & Nat App  and eye testing thingie  hopefully
