he Club now has a brand new Web Site. It is still at www.sddtc.org. This has been a long time coming but it has been worth the wait! Ally who did it has done a great job as It is much easier to use and faster too with more photo’s. I am delighted with it and would welcome members views about it? We have some photo’s from our recent Agility Trial and some not so good ones I took at our Halloween night on my phone mmm…. More photos will go up after our dinner and presentation night on December 2. If you have any photo’s of your dog send them to me.

he is a Cavoodle (King Charles caviler x poodle) she was born on 21st March 2008 in Melbourne, she was an internet baby advertise over the internet for future dog buyers. Well on the 17th May 2008 she jetted from Melbourne to Sydney. When I arrived at the airport, there she was such a small thing in such a big crate, I knew she was mine and she knew as well, it was love at first sight. Within weeks she had grown into a bra-munching, hole-digging, shoesniffing, furniture-eating, sleep-depriving, dinner-stealing wrecker of $50 computer cables. But I still love her. She has been my constant companion. Of course my floppy-eared tornado can also annoy me beyond belief, but how can I stay angry for too long at a beautiful lady who just tries so hard to please me. Not so long ago, I returned home after a dreadful day at work. When I opened the front door and heard the hurried ticker-ticker of claws on floor-boards, I looked down to see Misty wagging her tail with enough force to strike out a set of bowling pins, her brown eyes looking up at me. In her mouth was a plaque taken from the fridge saying ‘Love me’ with her mouth covering the cat and only that showing.
We joined Springwood dog club in the intake in February 2009, on any given training Misty’s first night home night you’ll see poodles, groodles, spoodles and oodles of other canines, heeling, sitting, standing, dropping and all else that makes their owners happy. Since then we have proceeded through beginner’s classes then onto advance and finally into competition level, receiving a trophy for competition class. We have just finished a stint of learning to become an instructor. I am an active committee member as well. We also participate on a Friday night in Flyball training. I was, a cat person before this beautiful little gal came into my life, she has changed my life forever.
