Thread: Adge Parkin (Sally) Posted: 31/01/2012 10:50:31
Just to let people that knew Adge that he died peacefully on Monday 23rd January.  He called himself one of the oldies in obedience and he had many stories about 'how things used to be'. Both him and his wife Lal were active members of the GSD club in Burton in the sixties then Burton dog training Club.  He was judging tickets up until the early eighties only giving up after a serious accident at work.  He loved his shepherds, but we had a smile when a little collie appeared in his garden and no one claimed her she stayed for the last fifteen years of Adges life.    He was quite a character and will be remembered by many other oldies!! (sorry) and many members of Derby and district dog Club.  He introduced Geoff to me in 1976 and the rest is history.  We will certainly remember him, Lal and his family.

Re: Adge Parkin (roypage) Posted: 31/01/2012 15:46:28
Thank you so much for letting us know Sally.  Really strange as a group of us were only talking about Adge about a week ago.  I must admit that I hadn't heard anything about him for a very long time, probably since the Burton Dog Show days.  Very sorry to hear the news - could you please let his family know that our thoughts are with them.  Roy & Shelagh
Re: Adge Parkin (Sally) Posted: 31/01/2012 17:06:37
Of course I will let them know Roy.  Adge was 91 and his son thought no one would remember him now, it will be a comfort to them to know he was not forgotten.  Sally
Re: Adge Parkin (Derrick) Posted: 31/01/2012 17:59:07
We remember Adge Parkun, a lovely character, and he did well to live to 91yrs after his accident.
Re: Adge Parkin (LinWhite) Posted: 03/02/2012 02:45:28
I remember Adge and his friend Vic  from when I first started obedience.They judged and stewarded at Nuneaton on several occasions and I won an A with my sheltie back in 1969 under him.He always called me Chalky up to the last time I saw him.
RIP Adge , my condolences to his Family.
Lin
Re: Adge Parkin (Sally) Posted: 04/02/2012 18:12:52
I will let his son know Lin, Adges eldest son and his wife both died in the last 5 years so it will be a comfort to David to know his dad is remembered.  I remember Adge having a great debate about scent with Frank Smith in a pub, the more they drank the more intense the debate, happy memories.  I had forgotten he called you chalkie until you said yes he never called you Lin did he?

Thread: Shepwood Ace Gambler O.W - Tyke (Emmal) Posted: 01/02/2012 13:41:01

                          A Tribute to Tyke: The One and Only

 

Tyke died on the 19th October 2011. I have tried many times to write about him but after switching my computer on I sat and stared at the white light and I got lost in the memories and then I decided that the time wasn’t right. I realise now that the time will never be right. Words will never explain what Tyke meant to me or how it felt to lose him.       

Tyke was getting old but he was fit. He was deaf but he wasn’t ill. He loved to misbehave and on the morning of the day he left me he still had a mischievous glint in his eye. We went our usual walk, I took him to the vet and within a few hours he was gone. It all happened so fast. Although I have thought about it over and over again I don’t understand it. I wish I could have one more day with him to tell him how much I love him. I took the time we had for granted and I regret it and it hurts me to know that what we had is gone and that life won’t ever be the same. Our relationship was ours and no-one else was allowed in. It was unique and precious and although the memories will always make me smile the pain will always make me cry. I know now that pain comes with the territory and it is a lesson that only experience could have taught me. Tyke was my closest friend and I wouldn’t have had it any other way but to lose him hurts like glass cutting deep into my skin.       

I often think of Tyke when he was young and when we were growing up together. We learned so much from each other. I relied on him because he was more astute and his capacity for learning exceeded mine. He understood me when I didn’t understand myself and he always adapted his mood to how I was feeling. He knew when I was up and when I was down and he was always there for me through the good, the bad and the ugly. And when it was bad he made it better and when it was good he made it magnificent, amazing and fantastic. He was so special, so intelligent and handsome, always happy and so endearing. In all the years I was with him I never saw him pick a fight or show aggression to anyone or anything. He was an angel. I could never have chosen a companion with better qualities than Tyke. We went through so much together. More than I appreciated. We competed in YKC fly-ball and agility although he preferred being by my side so we focussed on obedience. We even tried the show ring a few times which he hated with a vengeance. Tyke was a man’s man. He didn’t like posing despite being so very handsome. We won the YKC Rebecca Pointer Memorial Trophy at Crufts 5 years in a row and it’s a record that I believe might still stand. He took me from beginners to Ticket in only a few seasons and I was still a teenager when we won 3 Reserve CCs and led 4 Tickets before panicking in scent or lying down in stays. He was so close to qualifying for the Championships and he would have loved working in the Big Ring but it wasn’t meant to be. I would give anything to re-live those days when my special boy was a contender, at the top of his game, competing for Tickets every week with the best obedience had to offer and he was only a sniff away from having his photo taken on the Green Carpet. He deserved it and sometimes I can’t help but think that I let him down. When I got nervous he sensed it and got worried and probably tried too hard to please me. But that was Tyke being Tyke and I loved him for it.   

The memories change without warning from happy to sad and then back again. When Tyke was just a boy and I was about 12 I used to hide his gravy bones and he must have been stealing them for weeks before I realised. When I rumbled him he appeared with his innocent face even though he was aware he had been caught. He was only 2 but he knew to take note of where I was hiding his treats and then he waited until the coast was clear to get at them. I remember the laughs we had when he broke the blinds chasing me around my mum’s dining room. My mum was the only one that didn’t think it was funny. I remember her going mad on more than one occasion. Tyke never lost his sense of humour. Only last year at Linda’s house he opened Denim’s toy box and destroyed the toys one by one. He watched Linda put the toys in the box and he decided that he would play with them later. The lid on the box was only a minor obstacle. The more we laughed at him the more boisterous and mischievous he became and it was the toys that suffered. He was so funny. Everyone that knew Tyke loved him. He was a gentleman.             

I didn’t realise that grief could be so exhausting. I can’t describe the feeling of loss but I always get overwhelmed when I realise that part of me has gone. Sometimes I forget he’s not here. He was with me for 14 years. I grew up from childhood to adulthood with him beside me, every day and every night and we conquered the mad teenage years together. He knew all of my secrets…including the place where I stashed his gravy bones. I worry about him. I wonder who is going to feed him and who will keep him warm and I know that he will worry about me. I believe that our bond is stronger now than it ever was. It has crossed over into another dimension. But Tyke isn’t here and here is where he’s meant to be. It comforts me to know he will wait for me and I don’t fear death anymore.

I will always love you Tyke. I know you can hear me now. You were the best and you always will be. You gave me everything I could have asked for and you asked for nothing in return. The years we shared together are sacred and I will cherish the memories but there will be so much sadness without you. Forgive me for taking you for granted. I was young and naïve. You were my best friend, my companion and you are my soul mate and I will miss you every minute of every day until we meet again…..my special boy….wait for me by the bridge.

 

Love From Your Mum  

Emma

So sorry for the loss of your special boy.  Losing your best friend is almost unbearable but hopefully, in time you'll be able to remember Tyke with a smile.

This is one of my favourite poems but also very sad.

Oh Emma, what a wonderful tribute to a wonderful boy! I remember going with you to choose him, in one way it seems only a short time ago in another it seems a lifetime, you were( and still are) as one. you both had such a special bond too strong for any one or anything to ever separate you. Dont beat yourself up for things that you did not acheive, just look at what you DID acheive, at such a young age too. He will be by your side forever. Time will heal but he will always remain special to you, take care, Janet. x

Thread: Dog control orders-come on folks! (Gwithian) Posted: 04/02/2012 12:39:31

Today I received a letter via “snail mail” from Torfaen Council. It was a letter in response to my letter of objection to the Dog Control Orders the council there would like to implement.

I was surprised to read that they had only received 60 responses to their consultation-most of which were in support of these control orders.

Control orders effect, amongst other things, where we can let our dogs exercise off lead (e.g. sports fields) and how many dogs we can walk at any one time (mostly a maximum of 4) and whether we must leave our dogs tied up outside the school grounds when we take our youngsters to school (something we are loath to do in these days of dog theft).

Torfaen, for example, would like to see dogs banned from all school grounds and marked sports pitches-some favoured venue types for dog shows.

These control orders are cropping up everywhere, the Kennel Club are trying to keep us informed about them by putting them on the news section of this site. All the councils must do by law is put a notification in the small ads of their local paper to inform us of their intention to implement these orders.

Why are we not up in arms about them? It is too late to object once they have been implemented!

I have written a letter which I keep on my computer, the letter contains all the possible issues which may come up in control orders and, if I object to them, my reasons for objecting.  Every time the Kennel Club announce a new control order I take two minutes to copy and paste this letter onto the web site of the relevant council. That is all it takes - two minutes.

We can mobilise ourselves into action when we don’t like rule changes in obedience shows, if these control orders are implemented, there may be no venues to hold our shows.

Come on folks, the anti dog lobby are getting their way by insidious means, we need to fight it. How many of us walk more than 4 dogs at a time? Who doesn’t train their dogs on a sports field? Doesn’t any one take their dog on the beach in the summer? All these issues and many, many more come under dog control orders.

Just write a standard letter covering general point such as those that come up in the orders. Keep the letter on your computer and then copy it onto to council web sites when the Kennel Club tell us a consultation period is open. The council don’t look at every point-they go by how many letter for and against they receive. Every letter against the proposals count!!!

If anyone out there feels galvanised into action by my letter, and would like a copy of the one I send to councils for some ideas, I am happy to e-mail one to you.

I just feel that while we sit here doing nothing, the anti dog lobby have a loud voice and friends in high places and are getting their way at our and our dog’s cost.

A female Malinois is in need of an experienced loving home. She was originally from german shepherd rescue in Scotland and had been used as a security dog so she has quite a few issues. She is thought to be approx.14months old and appears to be quite trainable .Having said that ,she definately needs to be with someone who knows what they're doing.

Any ideas gratefully received.

Misty is approximately 4 years old- I am a little vague as to her age as she is a rescue and Dogs Trust weren't entirely sure! She is pretty random in her choice- so it doesn't look like she only eats her own!

Thanks for this- I will have a look.

Hi Caroline, my youngest occasionally likes to snack on poo but prefers that of my oldest collie, most likely because he gets tinned meat in his food and she doesn't!  The oldest (now 15.5 years!) is also inclined to do it occasionally when he's out and again I suspect there is something particularly attractive about it - thank heavens we don't share their habits!! Its not unusual for dogs to do this and although we consider it revolting it isn't in dog terms.  If this happens when you are out then I suggest teaching a good leave command or if its at home then clean up very quickly!!  However you also need to consider if there are any underlying dietary deficiencies, your vet's sphere of expertise, or another possibility is that Misty could realise that this is grabbing your attention and using it to her advantage.  Feel free to email me privately if I can be of further help.  Debbie

I think dogs do this because they are missing some important mineral or enzyme in their diet.  I had one of my collies do this and at first I thought it might be potassium and giving a supplement did help a bit but it didn't stop the problem entirely.  I then added kelp to his diet and within two days he had stopped and has never looked back.  Worth a try perhaps and kelp is very good for dogs too.  Brewer's Yeast is maybe something else you cold try.

This can be down to diet, so if the diet has recently changed, this is something to consider.

You may want to try adding some pineapple to her food to at least discourage her to eat her own, which often helps.

Not sure if you'll get onto the old site now - tried the other day - but all the topics section has been brought over to this one now! I think copraphagia is a dog thing - some do some don't! Mine don't tend to eat their own but my youngster is eating our little visitor's, it's almost like a dominance thing. I've tried all sorts and nothing really works but picking it up almost as it's being done!
Having said it's a dog thing, 'fraid it's not!! While in Oz, went to zoos and the chimps were doing it too, but their own!! Lovely........not! lol

CRUFTS RETURNS TO MORE4
 
The nation’s favourite dog event Crufts is to return to More4 in March, with Clare Balding at the helm. The channel, which has broadcast from Crufts for the past two years, will be covering the event for two hours each night, from 7-9pm on the 8th to 11th March.
 
Editor for Channel 4 Documentaries Anna Miralis says: “Crufts is an extremely popular event, with a loyal audience that looks forward to coverage on More4. We intend to deliver the same fresh and exciting format that celebrates Britain’s love affair with its favourite pet, the dog, that has proved such a hit for viewers. We will continue to explore the issues surrounding dog welfare and to promote an understanding of how to improve the health and lives of all dogs.”
 
Clare Balding, who will be presenting the show, says: "I look forward to Crufts every year, an event which holds a special place in the nation’s heart. The combination of insightful interviews, live programming and the huge variety of dog competitions and issues that are featured make it must-see television, as the viewing figures prove year on year.”
 
Caroline Kisko, Secretary of the Kennel Club, which organises the event says: “Crufts is a key event in any dog lovers’ calendar and More4’s coverage always captures the heart of the event, which is a celebration of the special relationship between man and his dog. The programme will feature everything that makes Crufts such a great event, including the hero dogs competition, Friends for Life, dog agility, and of course Best in Show. More4’s coverage also raises important issues surrounding breeding, buying, training and caring for dogs that help dogs to lead healthy, happy lives.”
 
More4’s Crufts coverage will be produced by Sunset + Vine.
 
Watch live on Youtube!
The Kennel Club, organiser of Crufts is also working with Sunset + Vine and YouTube to ensure that there is live streaming of the event  from the moment that show opens to the time it closes on the internet.
 
The free to view live coverage will include all of the action from the Arena, which will include Best in Show, the Friends for Life final and agility displays. There will also be video clips featuring highlights from around the show and archive footage from video clips stretching back to the 1980s.  These will run alongside exclusive videos from recent Kennel Club events such as the Discover Dogs show at Earls Court in London.

All of the live, archive footage and catch up service is free to view on YouTube and dog lovers can subscribe in advance for updates and the ability to rate and share videos social networks. Visit www.youtube.com/crufts.

Re: Crufts Coverage on Television & You Tube (Crunchie) Posted: 31/01/2012 18:08:28
Does this mean we will not be able to see any of the obedience competitions as in other years?  Will we go back to a few years ago when nothing was shown.  I hope I am wrong but it doesn't say anything in this press release about showing obedience.
Can someone please let us know?

Many thanks

Maureen

Hi Maureen

Roy posted the other day that the obedience will be shown on youtube (crufts pages) but not until a week later - unless some kind people film it and pop it on youtube too....  

I and a few others have emailed More4 and asked if they could show some of the Obedience Championships -  the email address is on Facebook Obeduk page - I've not got it to hand at the moment.    Don't know if it will do any good but nothing ventured and all that 
Re: Crufts Coverage on Television & You Tube (roypage) Posted: 01/02/2012 00:53:41
That's as I understand it at the moment Maureen. Thanks Bernice for your earlier answer. If I hear anything different I'll post on here. In the meantime I suggest emailing More4 as detailed by Bernice.
