    That's similar to how I felt about my first kelpie. He tried so hard to please me and whenever he didn't understand what I wanted him to do he'd keep trying until he got it right. Ironically, the older he got the more the roles reversed i.e. I realized he was invariably right so I tended to follow his lead, he soon cottoned on to this so just did his own thing...seems a waste to have a dog with natural talents and a brain to match to then keep telling it, "No! Do what I say!" I've never bred a litter of pups in my life but I really regret not getting something out of him.

    To quote somebody else: if he wasn't the pick of the litter, somebody else got a bloody good dog.

    I only just saw this message now (I don't get on here much these days) but I always like hearing your Kelpie stories. For some reason my Kelpie doesn't like to jump, I have been trying to gradually get him higher and higher, then I try get him to jump on the ute or over a fence and he doesn't want a bar of it! Anyway I was playing with him in the backyard and he starts barking his 'serious' bark and I shone the torch over the back fence, which is about 6ft high and saw a fox. Because he is young and learning I fired him up thinking it will confirm to him they are quarry and to be pursued and he launched at the 6ft high fence got his front legs over the top and climbed up and over! He won't jump a 3ft fence when I tell him. They certainly are smart arses...

    Haha, that is hilarious, you can see where Don gets it from! I reckon some of their family dinners would have been quite a show. He will romp it in 2020, love him or hate him he is the biggest show on the planet BY FAR and that is not changing any time soon...

    I really enjoyed this thread and I think you have done brilliantly to maximize your chances of getting what you want. If I was in your part of the world I would have loved to have taken a pup from this litter. I currently own a pure male Kelpie (my first Kelpie) and I really enjoy having him, he seems to pick things up quicker than any dog I have owned before but he does lack that extra gear when pursuing game. He is only 13 months old but I know that I am going to enjoy having him around until one of us passes on.

  8. Right or wrong .......

    I don't agree with man handling women but some of these vegan protesters do my head in... I think it is one of those situations I can't say if it is right or wrong. If that was my daughter I most certainly would make sure he took his hands off her and then have stern words with my daughter for being foolish. Whether that means I think it is right or wrong I am not sure.

  9. Women’s World Cup ......

    Some women's teams (Australia, America, new Zealand)are asking for equal pay to the men and taking FIFA to court over it!!! What a joke!!! Women's soccer generates nothing (in dollar terms) compared to mens soccer but they expect the same money. The world has truly gone mad... I am sick to death of idiots attempts to hold us to ransom in the name of political correctness

     

  10. Parker vs Joshua

    I’m always in two minds about Joshua ? 

    Do you ever feel the lack of true talent at that weight is pulling the wool over our eyes a little concerning him? 

    Or that this “isn’t a j great ? Isn’t he the best boxer in the world ? “From the bbc beginning to get under your skin a little? 

    Maybe im just being harsh but I just can’t seem to get excited by him 

     

    I feel the same, aj is doing very well for himself but something about him and his performances fails to generate any real belief in him or his ability from me. In saying that his wins over Klitschko and Whyte were impressive victories but somehow I still don't believe in him. I feel as if his bubble is going to burst soon...

    Snopes' Rebuttal

    Old 'snope' seems to be trying very hard to show that it MIGHT not be islamic refugees raping in Sweden, with some interesting technicalities in the law and I suspect careful date selections, 2015-2017 for example. I bet if they tried equally as hard to show Islamic refugees were responsible for these heinous crimes and chose the time periods that would look least favorable to that demographic of Swedish society they could have made islamic refugees look really bad. 

    Thanks for posting another viewpoint but it seems to be a very biased attempt to downplay a very real problem to me.

  16. Boxing At The Weekend...

    in General Talk

    Posted

    First time I have watched a full wilder fight and I was pretty impressed. Ortiz hurt him in seventh but not too much that he couldn't ride it out. Ortiz outboxed him early and he is a very skilled boxer but it was far from a one sided beating. The thing that impressed me was when wilder opened up in the 6th and 10th he lit him up! Very fast,  powerful and explosive. Can joshua handle that? It remains to be seen but I am starting to think he couldn't...

    Nice one GL, I made some bacon minestrone soup with garlic bread, chocolates, ice cream and bubbly and I washed the dishes to top it all off. Not even a single red rose from me, they jack up the price too much and it just lacks originality...
