ADBA Nationals, NJ

Congrats Mr. Mark... I was in the class just before you and was running around like a chicken without a head after helping a friend try for his pups 1st weight pull... Congrats to ALL the winners..I wish I had met more of ya"ll but I guess it wasn't in the stars this time..

 

Thank you for the kind words fellas. It was pleasure being introduced to you all. I'm already looking foward to the next show and getting to know ya'll even more!

 

thanks for the kind words Mr Mark. That dog of your's was looking official! I thought for sure BIS was between our dogs lol he was looking hard at both of them lol definitely will have to catch up with you guys at the next show

 

Congrats to all winners! Anymore pics?

Im just a bit discouraged as to why we didn't get more people approach us... we were very visible...come on folks this has nothing to do with ego's or pride of ourselves... ; it has to do Witch our great dogs

 

SILENCE GRASHOPPER lol its like that anywhere in life , some are outspoken and wanting to start conversations and then you have the ones who are waiting to be conversated with. Instead of waiting for an approach , I would take the initiative and meet all you like.

Cutt- (nothing personal with SILENCE comment, it was first thing in my mind when I read this.)

 

Hey Roe sorry i missed ya at the show. My uncle was kind enough to give me a ride and it being his first dog show we were watching the weight pulls and checking out the vendors and the conformation ring. I didn't get to make the rounds to meet everyone but will catch up with you at the next Nj show.

 

Miss Rage took a first place in the 3-5 females !!!!! very large class and then took a 3rd in judges choice female!!!!!!!!! and got her CGC very good weekend !!! will post some pictures later.

 

great show overall, my pup didn't place on saturday, 6-9 month females, but i aint worried im gonna have her lookin tight for the spring shows. Congrats to all the winners and i am definately disappointed how the BIS turned out for the males, it should have been either mr. mark's dog or jay's dog, not that underconditioned, club staff member owned :rolleyes:, tri-colored dog, politics :cool: go figure

BOIBOI you know whats crazy for a show of working dogs not much people where working there dogs there where more people at the conformation part then at the weight pull with conformation "poltricks" can play a big part but in a working event hey only hard training and the lady who won actually weight pulled her dog so she deserved it ..There was a lady who people would never guess knew how to work dogs had the best set of small dogs there i don't know here name but she won in every class except the 45lbs-55lbs and her dogs were great

Congrats to all that won. Looks like you all had fun.

 

Shadyridge,

Congrats on the wins first off!

I was just wondering, how old is that blue dog you have posted up?

 

First off...Congrats on your accolades.

But I have a question, and I hope that you don't take offense as that is NOT my intention. My question is this....."How old is that dog with the Junior Handler (Congrats to her as well!)? Who was the Judge that placed him?"

BEFORE you get offended, let me share with you why I ask. I had a bad case of "Hooks" that slapped me in my ass with 3 dogs TERRIBLY and HORRIFICALY fast! "Spinner", "Eve" and "Rage". I didn't realize they were sickly UNTILL I realized they were not gaining weight for the amout of feed I was wasting. At first I just ASSUMED I got a messed up bag of feed as when I upped the feed, they gained a lil but when worked on the spring pole, the dropped back to ground zero. In a panic and state of aggravation and confusion, I sought help. Come to find out, I had my FIRST case of "hooks". A pint of Pyrental that should have lasted me 13 months was gone in 3 weeks as I feed them that shit like water!!! (lol)

This IS NOT a bashing session, so let's keep it this way by all means.

 

thanks and the blue dog i think she is 2yrs old. not at good picture of her as the sun was not out yet.

 

hey is back bone showing a good thing? i thought that no bone was to been shown besides the rips? cause the black apbt that won and rage back bones are showing...

 

yes you are supposed to see 6 vertabrea<sp

 

Thanks cuttthroat for putting me in my place...lol I should not be talking out my butt , cause I myself had no time to make rounds so I can understand...lol.. I did meet some people and still hope to meet many thers.. Congrats to all who placed and also to those who just simply showed up...

 

6 vertebrae? Can ya point that out to me in the standard cause I must have over looked it....

This is all I see a far as spine and rib goes....

Section II Paragraph A Sentence 5

5. ​
