Hi all, this is my first time on the Koolie Forum, so better tell you all about me, warn would be a better word because once I start talking about my dogs I don't take a breath, LOL. I have 4 horses, my Pally stallion is the favorite & he knows it, 2 cats, a galah & 2 soon to be 3 dogs. JC & Izzi are my Koolie's, both are female, JC is 10yo, Izzi 6 months, & next month we're getting an Australian Shepheard called Pebbles. JC & Izzi help me with the pigs, even though Izzi is young & little she's in there with the best of em, JC is doing most of the pushing & I keep a close eye on things. Well I could rattle on for ages but will leave it there for now, don't want to get thrown off with my first posting, better leave some thing for next time.
dogz6.

hope you have as much fun as I do

BUT PIX are a must!!

I'm counting on it & you'll have pic's up the wazoo when I can learn how to pu them on

You'll have fun here!!! Lots of koolies = lots of fun!!!

Send us lots of pics!!

Hey dogz6 for dropping in here to introduce yourself, it does give us all a chance to
Look forward to hearing more about your Koolie and the pigs, but I won't over run you with too many question, yet

Welcome to the forum ... you will definately enjoy your time, everyone just loves talking about their dogs and sharing photos and such!!! So you will fit in well here.

You will love it here. Please post your pictures soon, we are all waiting in anticipation. I have never heard of pig herding before. Do pigs think a lot differently, I believe they are smart critters.

Hope you enjoy it here and will look forward to many more posts.

Here's hoping this works as still not sure how to put a photo on here. Any way if it does work this is Izzi our 6 month old Koolie, who's just been desexed & is suppose to be kept quiet for 10 days, yeah right, she's doing laps of the house at the moment. Pigs are smart, they're as easy to train as a dog, & will go through or over you if your not careful, JC has learned to get behind me & the board if the pigs start coming back. I usually only use the dogs if they get out of their pen so I can grab Izzi if I have to. Well here goes if this works I'll add mor pic's next time.

It worked. I went "awww" when I saw the photo she is a stunner (mind you I am partial to the reds). And Izzi is a great name, am a bit biased there too. Koolies and quiet time don't usually mix, but they are good healers so the stitches are not probably worrying her too much.

Nice pup

I have fixed your image tags to the forums

welcome, welcome, welcome very cute pup i love red merle's sorry brain dead tonight had a very long two days need sleep

Hi Dogz6!! Welcome to the forum it is great to see you here, I hope you enjoy yourself

Izzy is just gorgeous and I look forward to seeing lots of photos as she grows.

This is her maternal sister Smokey Click to view attachmentwho lives with us.

Hi and welcome to the forum. Izzy is sure cute. Yep I have just been through that with my puppy. What a laugh keep them quiet for 10 days. That lasted 12 hours only because she slept. Got told dont give her too much food well she screamed the place down. We survived after jumping a fence that was one and half her size, putting a squeaky toy in the toilet and grabbing my friends beard and trying to take it for a walk the whinging etc etc. Ohh it was so much fun. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cheers
Danni

Izzi is just so beautiful ... I do love the red merles ... where does she come from she looks very much like my Harley!!

Izzy is very cute. I love the colouring! Koolies are so diverse - they're all individuals!

Welcome to the forum!!! You are going to love it here. don't worry about overloading us, you might be lucky to get a word in when we all get going about our dogs!!!!!

Izzy is a stunner. Where abouts are you, just asking cos I want to meet that pup in person!!!

Izzi is by Sheringa Freddo & out of Cutlers Koolies Josie, we drove from Murray Bridge,SA, to Portland & picked her up, only a 10 1/2 hr round trip, I think normal people go on holidays, we go to horse shows & pick up dogs. Bill, husband, worked out how to put photos on here so now you'll be sorry I've got all the horses, dogs & cat's photos. I'd love to have you meet my girls in person or is that dogson LOL ? RachelleBuck, if you happen to be in Murray Bridge on a Friday morning I'm at Steamers Dock Cafe having a cino & fresh home made huge chocolate chip muffin & your most welcome to join me, but I'm guessing you not any where near here. Just got home from Steamers & have given Izzi some work ready for Sunday, it's graduation at dog school, she's only in beginners class but I think she'll pass, will let you all know of course, at home she can do sit, drop & stand stays + recall off lead from 10 paces so she's going pretty well, but I'm bias. Ok have I bored you all enough well you should meet me in the flesh, it gets worse LOL. . I don't know what having my image tags fixed to the forum means but thankyou, not real computer minded that's why Bill does all the photo stuff for me.

Well your in my turf I just live by Glenelg. Should come down on the Monday of the long weekend of March as we are having the Autumn International Agility
We will be having all the good dogs from interstate as well. They are awesome to watch especially Sue Hogben, Simone Tolhurst Kirtzy Cummings they are just from WA and there is more. This will be held at Pedigree park which is the german shepherd dog club West Beach. It will be awesome Were having the Advance Team Challenge on the Sunday which is sponsored by Advance which is why the interstaters are here. I got in with my border collie Inka. Otherwise you could look up canine association and that will tell you where all the obedience and agility trials. Love to see ya and talk coolies LOL
cheers
Danni

I believe I might have just been reading all about your life in this months Koolie Club mag. I am in Melbourne (well about 1/2 hour out of the city)

and Danni you smart thing (well your girls anyway!!) I saw you too!!!

Must be something in the water over there that makes your dogs so smart!!! please send me some!!!

Hey Cj, JackieH, little Izzy is family her daddy Freddo is Tjukurpa bloodlines

Just love that cute little head.
Maybe we will catch up with you when we get over your way.

Well then Izzi is related to Poppy and Pixie (they are her aunts?) she still looks like Harley as a puppy though...

When did you see me and why didnt you say hello or did you say hello and I cant remember (old age is a curse) I dont know about me being smart I think I just have smart dogs LOL
Danni

Hi Peoples,
It's dogz6 other half Bill, she has just gone to pencil at a horse Dressage day so have put a pic of Boldova on, called because if she was no good working dairy cows she would get bold over, Sadley she had to be put down back in August with Leukaemia.
To Danni of Glenelg, We are going to the dog show on saturday to pick up an Australian Shepherd pup from Lee of Broken Hill who bred and sold us dova some 13yrs ago.
still trying to perfect this putting up photos and such,
Cheers to all who have responded, can't stop looking to see if any has!Where does the day go.
One last thing how do you get that little photo on the side under your name there?
Bill

More recent introduction to the river for Izzi.
Bill
PS how do you resize smaller photos??

G'day Bill!!
I use Irfanview to resize my photos. It comes with a tutorial and I find it relatively easy to use. One day I'll do a course on Photoshop and find out how smart people do it. http://www.somewhere-in-time.net/tutorial/irfanview/

I am sorry to hear about Boldover, it is sad when a much loved one goes. I bet you still do miss her. Here is the hug you asked for.

I love the photo in the water of Izzi, way too cute. I may have to dognap her. Make sure you post some pics of your Aussie Shepherd when you pick her up? Bet you are looking forward to having another new addition into the household.

Thanks for the Hug Ceejay, I needed that
This is of JC when she was much younger, some ten yrs ago.
Looking cute as..
Bill

Hey Bill, does Sue know you are out hugging strange women?????




Aw hec, here is another one

Hang on Sil I am not strange.....just slightly wierd. lol.

Hay Ceejay - that's why you fit in just fine, one for you too

Bill, to put the picture under your name go into My Controls under Home, and edit avatar, you can pick from galleries of pictures or upload your own. Good Luck!

now that's a great pic of Izzi she looks like she is having fun i love pic's of the dogs being dogs and not posed

Hey Sil, Thanks for the extra hug, I won't tell if you don't, also for the how to get pic on as you will see I did it. That's Wayandah Park 1 Golden Nuggett or Nuggett, Nuggie for short.One of the many animals we own, or is it they own us,
Rule 1, only allowed to hug strange women so that makes me OK so far
Rule 2, Refer Rule 1.

A big welcome to you too dogz6 looks like your hooked already.

Can't leave Bill alone for a second, I had to beat him off the computer with a stick:lol:, the only reason I can get on now is because he's at work, ok I'm as hooked as he is & just love talking dogs. We had a big day yesterday, went for a 24km walk with the dogs, Bill stayed home, & thought Izzi would be tired, not even close, then went to dog school & Izzi graduated to grade 1, came home & she was still ricocheting off the walls with her squeeky toy, she didn't stop till 10.30pm . Don't think she'll have a problem with the 60km walk in October, I'm doing 100km but the dogs can only do 60 or 70 of that. I can handle Bill hugging strange women but do have problem if he hugs normal one's,

Can understand about the energy in Izzi, I keep looking for the battery compartment in my two girls so I can switch them off. But I know that if I am still they are. They even follow me around when I am doing housework I think they believe they are helping.

You are enthusiastic with the walking. Is it bushwalking, marathons? How did the horse riding go? Is it dressage that you do?

I miss my horse already, she has gone to a young family with children. Not having your own land sucks!!

Hmmm I think this is addictive - I should be working but I'm at home so no one will tell!!!

24km walk!! Goodness!!! I'm impressed!!!

Walking, talk to Rachellbucks mum she love her marathons.
maybe she will pop on and let you know how well she did.
We are all very proud of you both.
I'll stick to sheepwork and road travel
