Thanks Wendy,
the link looks like what I did with him as a baby puppy, I will have a look at
the tracking group too.
A few of us have nutted out a bit of an attack plan, it appears that he is
starting to self-reward himself by tracking, so we are looking for a 'reward'
that is worth more to him than tracking...... Mind you he still steals all the
socks out of the dirty washing and struts around the back yard with them, or
dumps them in your lap when you are ignoring him and trying to type!!
We are having a Track & Search trial here in 2 weeks, might be able to get some
ideas there too.
Morgan sounds just like her sister! And Kinsler never does anything slowly
either, I think he is doing his best to live up to his name. He would love to
live in the cooler climate, he loves winter, makes him go faster... Hope it's
not too cold for you tonight, it's getting a little cool here tonight, might
have to put a flannel shirt on! It was 30 degrees at lunch time today in sunny
central Queensland!!
Madonna
and the grey ones.

Hi all,
This is the link. This came from the OzTracking Yahoo group. VERY experienced
and helpful people on this list.
This method is positive reinforcement only, and makes for a happy dog. Might
help, you never know. Morgan is SUCH a chow hound, she's going to need cement
boots. Everything is done at breakneck speed, with ultimate enthusiasm! She's
mad, what a character! She went paddling in the dam the other day, got to the
edge, and sat down - in a foot of water! Twice!!! So much for her being from
Sunny Queensland, moving to freezing Canberra hasn't slowed her up in the least.
But then, I don't think Swine flu would slow her down!

Good on you Wendy and Lara,
About time these people took notice of the "Hairies"
Thanks Deb!
I have found such negative attitudes to Weis in general in Canberra. At our
club, one of the Instructors had a bitch, BYB, and she was the biggest flip
going, it seems. So everyone thinks that's what they are all like. There are so
few of them here, but an individual does not make a breed! There is an award
down here for dogs with their show Ch, who then get a CD (bronze medal), CDX
(silver medal) or UD (gold medal) Called a Dunbar award after one of the greats
in Obedience in the ACT. I said when I started going to the club, that I wanted
to be the first LH to get a Dunbar medal, and they laughed!
Gone are the days when they were considered almost human. My vet is also a Dobe
and ESS breeder, and Obedience judge, and when I said that one of my babies was
going into Obedience, he chuckled and said, 'Oh, if it's smart enough.' At
Tracking Training in Sydney, I was told by the trainer, that you might see
the very occasional Wei tracking, but you never see any good ones. Then he
followed behind Zed, and she did her usual corner (she goes straight ahead,
stops, basically pivots , and follows the next leg) and he says excitedly, 'Did
you see that corner?!' and I thought, Oh, but I thought you NEVER see any good
ones LOL!
But maybe there is reason that people don't see them as intelligent any more.
Our breed (hairy, but much more the non-hairy) has really suffered by people not
caring about anything else as much as the look of the dog. What's between the
ears has to count, too. When I see some of the things at shows, dogs that cower
in their crates, but are trained enough to at least let a judge go over it,
I can see why they are getting a reputation for being nothing but a show pony.
At Canberra Royal, I saw a young one that would not even let the judge examine
it, or move properly, get very highly awarded. There are SO many young ones here
now, that have very short sternums (no lung room) long in loin (weak backs) over
angulated in the back end (cross over side gaits that tire easily) and they are
WINNING! Take any of them out in the field for a day, and you'd carry them home.
In our standard, it mentions the Wei working ability so often, the description
of
the dog actually talks about work, not really what it looks like, and so you
would think that being build for work would be an important part of
judging, including being mentally fit, but it doesn't seem to be as important as
a dog that is trained to the highest degree (robot) and looks good on the
stack. It says in the standard three times that they must not be shy, but at
the NSW Wei Specialty last year (the one with the FCI judge) someone I know was
there watching. They are pet owners, but came along for a look. They were
watching the judging, and one said to me, 'Why don''t they like to be touched?'
I hadn't been taking notice, but started to really watch. It was the young
classes (SHs, I THINK) and dog after dog pulled away from the judge, and spun
around behind the handler. And I thought to myself, how bad must things be
getting, when a non-dog person notices it?
OK, had my rant for the day!
Wendy (freezing in Canberra. Not even 6 degrees C yet, at lunch time!)

Subject: [Weimaraner_Longhaired] Longhair shows up GSPs and a Goldie. (LONG,
sorry!)
Hi all,
Just HAVE to tell you something funny from the weekend. The National Retrieving
and Field Trial Committee had their annual fight, I mean, MEETING in Canberra
last weekend. The Gundog committee cater for it ourselves, charge the ANKC, and
then put the $$ towards the Retrieving Nationals. So on Sunday I was on the
duty list, and the other two people and I took dogs to do some work in between
serving food. We have a Gundog Working Test comming up on August 1, in
conjunction with one of our Obedience Trials, and I haven't entered or seen one
before.
Â
GWTs are different in every State, and because the delegates to the Committee we
were feeding won't agree, there are no titles offered. They are supposed to be
working towards it, but I won't be holding my breath! Should have witheld lunch
until they got it sorted. The other committee members who were there are
much more experienced in this, one has Goldens, the one she is currently
working has his Novice Retrieving Dog title, and she has had a National Ch
before. The other member has GSP's that are up to CDX and UD in Obedience, and
one took out the Novice section in last years GWT. So altogether dogs and people
who know what they are doing. I had Lara LH with me who does love to retrieve,
maybe a little too much, as she has trouble waiting for the command in either
Obedience or with dummies. She only has her CCD, a level they put in under CD.
So both of us are rank amatures. GWT's are really gundog obedience. Heeling,
stays, drop on recall, and a
couple of retrieves of dummies out of a thrower is Novice. The Open also has a
double rise (they see one dummie launched, but not the second, so they have to
trust you when you say there's one out there) and a single blind where they
don't see it at all, and you direct them for that, too. That's how it goes in
New South Wales.
Â
First thing, the friend with the GSP's gets out a dummy covered in rabbit skin.
I showed it to Lara who grabbed it and would have loved to have taken it home.
The owner of it took it to her GSP's, and they wouldn't have a bar of it. She
made them take it, but if they were kids, their noses would have been screwed
up! I thought to myself that Lara was such a good girl! The one with the
Goldie was throwing the dummy just a little way out for Lara, and saying that I
needed to get her interested. Well, Lara only gets excited on the inside. She is
not a bouncing up and down kind a girl. She might look to others that she's not
interested, but to those who know her, you can tell when she is just beside
herself. Just on the inside.
Â
The GSP's got to go first, and were OK, but mucked about a bit. They were just
thowing by hand at first, and one throw went over the driveway. Dog ran around
the curve, but wouldn't cross it. "See that?" they said, "A change of terrain
and often the dog won't cross it." Dog was encouraged over to the place the
dummy landed, and eventually retrieved it. And we are talking VERY short grass
here. Basically just paint dirt green, and that's how much cover there was. It
was actually our dog show grounds car park.
Â
Next one to go was the Retrieving titled Goldie. He goes out, brings it back.
Next one went further out, but he wouldn't go past where the first one fell.
"See that?' they said, "Not unusual to see a dog only want to re work old
ground".
Â
So then it's first timers, Lara and Wendy. They throw, she retrieves. They throw
it past the old ground, Lara goes out, has a quick glance where the first one
fell, goes right on past, and retrieves it to hand. Hmm. Silence from the Goldie
owner!
Â
The next one they put pigeon wings on. Lara has never had feathers in her mouth,
and did not see or smell this before they threw it. She went out, passed the old
ground, picked it straight up, and retrieved it hand. Not even a second thought.
Â
They put the next one in the thrower. First time she hears or sees this thing,
it goes past the old ground and over the roadway. She goes out, past the old
ground, AND RIGHT ACROSS THE ROAD WITHOUT A PAUSE. Silence from the GSP owner,
too!
Â
Then we went down a hill, with the launcher at the top, so they could see the
dummies against the sky. As it was our first go, she doesn't know to look out
for it yet, and missed several of the launches. When the GSP's didn't see it,
they would go out in a small circle and then come back to their owner. We get up
there, Lara misses it, but I say FETCH, so she figures that I wouldn't send her
out for nothing, so off she goes, and brings it back every time! They were over
the hill anyway, so most were blinds.
Â
The 'helpful comments' from the others stopped pretty early on, when she kept
showing their dogs how it's done, purely on instinct and trust. When we got back
to serve lunch, a couple of the delegates, who must have been bored to tears,
came over and said they were watching the first part out of the window. One
commented that he had seen Lara and she looked really nice. He was a lab guy,
unusual for them to say anything nice about a Wei. No comment from anyone about
any of the other dogs.
Â
When we were leaving, I said to them, " The funny thing is, out of all my Weis,
Lara would have the least fire for this stuff. You should see some of them."Â Â
Â
The other two looked at each other.
Â
"Really?" , they said. You could see that really they were thinking, "Oh no
!!!!!"
Â
Ha Ha! Go the hairies!!!!!!

Ah ha! Article indication! This is what we are working on right now, and I have
just the BEST method that someone has put me onto. This has you NOT teaching the
article and the track together. There is a video link to a guy called Steve
(White??)'s site, and I think there's a sound track, but I don't have speakers
at the moment, but could still get it just fine. Will find the link and post it.
Basically you teach the dog to sit in front regularly, then link that to
touching an article. In about 15 mins today, I had Zed (the girl I am working
on) touching it in my hand, then on the floor, even when I threw it a few feet
away, and eventually right up the hall. And this girl has not done any obedience
yet, so has never been taught to 'Touch'. I will now add the sit, and then take
that out onto a track.
Zed doesn't pull, she's a tiny bit of a princess, and goes at a lovely,
dignified pace. Phantom and Boss I have not started until I know what I am doing
- I am afraid that I will get dragged around like a plow! I am actually going to
have some lessons with a trainer/judge who has GSDs. I figure she will have
experience with pullers. Will pass on anything I learn. I have heard of one Wei
in the past that they had to put the harness on upside down, with the tracking
lead under his stomach, and between his hind legs. I reckon that will be Boss!
Perhaps grass skis?? LOL
Will go and look for this link for you.

Hi Wendy,
Thanks for that!
No, there won't be a dual this season. I can't get to enough trials, and I am
starting to have a little trouble with slowing Kinsler down enough to find his
articles properly. At the moment he is hunting like crazy for them and can't see
them for looking! He does the same thing with his toys. It might just be a lack
of experience. If any one in the group has had a similar problem or suggestions
I would love to hear them.
I am looking forward to hearing how Morgan is doing!!

Shadow got best of breed today and minor in group. She got lots of nice comments
from 2 of the judges. Grady got runner up breed and mischka got reserve
challenge.
Shadow is from our surprise litter from Kimba and Gandalf. We had hoped to get
Kimmie pregnant to Atlas 2 years ago. Gandalf did the deed unbeknown to us
shortly before leaving for Canada. We have four pups in the ring from that
litter Grausturm Kimba Surprise owned by Annie Haverkamp who has already won
baby in show, Grausturm King Oth lions owned by Tamara Gregg both shorthairs and
2 longhairs: Grausturm Gandalfs Grey Gift (Thor) who has won several baby in
groups and Grausturm Grey Magic (Shadow). So we are very happy with them.
We took Gandalf to be collected before he left because he was such a lovely
substantial boy and he had the new american lines (Tri-d kennels) and the guy
who collected him said he was the most fertile dog he had ever tested, he filled
two test tubes!!! Gandalf sired two litters here before he left and has sired
two in Canada including four longhair boys so its all happening for them. He is
owned by Ward and Breezy Powell.
One of the judges I spoke with said he had seen a nice longhair in Vic that he
really liked so its great to see judges taking notice of the fur balls.
Cheers for now

Hi Breezy,
Welcome to our little group! You will find a group of nice and supportive people
here. It is not a busy list, so post away! Lots of us are Aussies, and always
love to hear about our ex pats.
I have Phantom (Ch Grausturm Ima Tassidevil), Gandalf's grandpa. There are quite
a few albums of pics, feel free to set one up for yourself. We all just LOVE
photos!

Hello my name is Breezy and I am a weim breeder from Ontario Canada.
I have had the pleasure of importing a LH from Tazmania. He is a lovley boy who
we have tracked since he was 8 weeks, and we followed his career in Australia
till he came to canada as an Australia CH in Nov 2008. You can see pics of him

I look forward to sharing "tails" with all of you.
Hi everyone,
Just to let everyone know that the Virtual Dog Show to aid the dog people who
lost everything in the Victorian fires closes today. You can enter tracking,
obedience, breed, agility (I think) , you can enter dogs that have passed in a
Rainbow Bridge class, and even those from, uhem, 'Mixed Marriages' - mutts.
Entry is $10 Australian, which is around the $6 US, give or take, changes by the
minute. People overseas can pay by PayPal, and enter by email, Australians can
pay by electronic transfer now. A page with all info and entry forms is on the
Dogs Victoria site
www.dogsvictoria.org.au/Content.asp?ID=277&SubID=369
If that link breaks, just go to www.dogsvictoria.org.au and follow the links.
All details are there. There is also a list of members there who have lost
everything, but I think there are more that are not listed. Just one entry will
help out a dog person. You will be able to download a copy of the catalogue,
especially wonderful if you have entered an oldie, or one at the Rainbow Bridge.
The people who will benefit from this show will each be given a copy as a
keepsake. There are 7000 entries so far - how wonderful! Don't forget,
longhaired Weimaraners are recognised here. Enter some of your greats from the
old days, or those who weren't shown, but should have been.
There but for the Grace of God go any of us, in any country of the world.
Please feel free to cross post this to any list you may be on, but be quick, as
it is supposed to close today. I nearly missed it myself!
Thanks everyone,

Here is the link to the International Virtual Dog Show in case anyone is
interested in entering. There is a PayPal link for those OS, you pay Au$10
(which was about 62c US last I heard ) and then send an email to the address
given with the details of your entry/entries. The catalogue will be online and
will be available to those who enter to download as a keepsake, as well as being
given to each person who is helped by it. All money will go specifically to
dog people who have been affected, and there are lots. Rescues could be
entered, those at the bridge, as well as the red hots of today, and the greats
of yesteryear.

Subject: [Weimaraner_Longhaired] VOTE 1 RICHA - in honour of our darling girl!
Hi All
A few friends and members know of my recent losses. On October 25th
Richa was rushed to the vet with what we thought was just a good
dose of dihorea, not too much concern. She was checked, put on a
drip and monitored overnight. She had vomited through the day but
overall was normal, quieter though that we though was
understandable. I had calls from the vet to explain she was doing
well. Next morning she was well due to pick her up after 9am. The
8am call said she was ok. The vet nurse went to take Richa to the
toilet, when she began bleeding from the back passage and died. At
940am I had a call to say they had lost her! Needless to say the
shock, emotions going on was devastating. How, Why? A tumour we
didn't even know she had in her bowel was disturbed by the gastro
etc and erupted. Poor darling girl. We are always so careful, Richa
was 8yo and had full blood tests only 4 months prior as I was always
struggling with her coat and getting the colour Right after
desexeing 2 years prior. was this a sign, no blood tests faeces or
urine detected a abnormality. To add salt to a wound, my beautiful
Bazil had been struggling with cancer. He was coping, having more
good days than bad. However the Monday after Richa dies on the
Sunday (26th) we had to make the gut wrenching decision to have
Bazil put to rest. He was drained, tired, and moaning that day. He
was really weak and just a sad sight. Poor Bazz. I just couldn't and
wouldn't allow another day for that disease to make him suffer.
Bazil and Richa now run free and are happily re-united with many
grey hairy kids in heaven. Needless to say my husband Tony & I were
just beside ourselves with having 3 dogs, now we are down to 1.
Thankfully we have our darling Finn, a Bazil & Richa daughter 4yo to
cheer our days and make us smile.
One week prior to losing Richa she won a local fun fashion parade at
our Pet Store. It really was merely a bit of fun & I knew the store
owners and shopped there. They were lacking in numbers so invited us
to come and fill spaces. We did, and they loved Richa, she won!. It
was separate judging panel, so yes it was legitimate! Ha ha. I
emailed the DGG (Dog Gone Gorgeous) folks and let them know we'd
sadly lost Richa. They were darlings and very sympathetic. They then
looked at the web site and saw our lil Finn. They called me back to
ask if Finn would do her Mother proud by representing Richa. I
was 'gobsmacked' they'd taken the time! Nice people! I am asking
all our Weimaraner Buddies far and Wide to VOTE for Richa Miss
South Morang! Richa can be see at...
www.australianfashionweek.com.au
You do have to register to vote, its just a really small
registration, name and zip code, email address and use name (you
dont have to fill in all the address/ph number boxes etc etc!).
Hopefully your vote will keep Richa's memories going and represent
Weimaraner Long Hairs in a dog designer label!

I'm so very sorry to hear of your losses. Having experienced both unexpected
and planned losses of dog-loves, neither one is easy and neither could be
truthfully said to be less painful than the other. I also know there aren't
words that will make the loss any less painful. I am glad to hear that you
still have one hairy friend to give you cuddles and some comfort, as I'm sure
you give to him while he adjusts to the absence of his (her?) two buddies.
I want you to know I tried going to the website to support Richa. However, I
could not get access to it. Maybe because it is an Australian site and I'm in
the US? I'm pretty much a dork when it comes to matters of technology.

Hi Trish,
Sorry to hear your sad news, had not heard before.
I know how devastating it is too lose dog,
but to lose 2 so close together, even when one was
your decision, I don't know how you can possibly deal with that.
My thoughts are with you.

I think your Special Beginners was like our Novice Encouragement. They beefed it
up to make it good enough for a title. I will look for the rules of the
different levels and send them to you.
To get an Obedience Ch here, you have to have UD, and after the title, get 5
passes at over 185, I think. Haven't heard of any Weis having it, although I
believe one in Victoria is close. A friend of mine has just put an Ob Ch on a
cocker spaniel, another has just made up the first Dual Ch Pug, with a show
title and flyball Ch, and she has her CCD, CGC and I think a pass towards her
CD.
We have a UDX now, think this is the first year, maybe second. So far no one
in the ACT even has a pass, let alone a title, not even those with Ob Ch. But
there is no Ob Gr Ch that I know of, there is Retrieving Gr Ch, as the President
of the ACT Gundog Society has one.
The only sport you cannot keep going at is tracking. I think it's a shame,
too. There is the variable surface stuff happening from next year, they are just
releasing the first level.
You should send your girl over here to get a few other titles. Someone who was
living over here with the NZ Diplomatic Corp, had a NZ CD, Aust CDX on her
Toller.

yours but it kinda sounds like a cross between our CD (cos of the stand for
exam stuff) with our Special Beginners class. Sounds great!n Our CGC is just
new here. There is 4 levels (basic, bronze, silver and gold) they are not
yet titles but the kennel club is hoping to make them titles. We have 15
people doing CGC at my obedience club (which is huge as I belong to a small
club).
The only obedience 'titles' we can get here are CDX, TCQ (by winning each
obedience class - there are 5) and of course OB/OB Gr CH. So far only one
weim in NZ has gained Ob Ch.... so its a pretty hard task!
Our 'tracking' tests are different to yours - they involve obedience,
'agility' and tracking elements so are called 'working trials' - thus the
titles are different (UD/UDX, WD/WDX then TD/TDX). Once you are are a champ
in any of the dog sports you can keep entering (and can gain the title grand
champ) which is great. That's really sad your tracking champs can no longer
enter - but good that they are making a new test!
Well, congratulations on your success!
All the best with training Lara up for CD and Zed!
Cheers,
Rachael

CCD is a level of Obedience competition they have put in below CD. It stands for
Community Companion Dog. The CD had two heeling patterns, one on lead and one
off, so they took the on lead heeling and made it CCD. There is a figure 8 in
the heeling, stand for exam, all done on lead, a recall, a sit/stay and a
down/stay. Don't remember how long for. Just seems FOREVER at the time!!
It is in place of the old Novice Encouragement, and gives a title. It was
hoped to get more people into Obedience by making the first step not so big.
Felt big to me! Well, I did start off with her, as I thought that if I could
train her, I could train anything. It has been so long that I have trained and
qualified as an Obedience instructor in that time! I have just started Zed off.
She is a very different kettle of fish!
With Obedience here, you have to do each level to move on to the next, except
with CCD. You don't have to do it and can go straight into Novice if you like.
So those people who are starting to put CCD, CD, CDX after their dog's names are
not correct. Same with tracking. It is not TD, TDX. You have to do each to go
on, and once you have your Tracking Ch, you can't even compete. Shame, that.
What they are introducing from next year is another level for tracking Chs. Like
the Variable Surface Tracking in the US. They won't be doing it in New South
Wales, though. Most of the Tracking trainers are of 'a certain age' and this
year put T Ch on most of their dogs. Tracking is limited to Sydney, mainly, and
they have said that they won't be doing it. The Tracking community in Victoria
is HUGE, no doubt they will take it on happily. The Champion of Champions down
there this year was a LH.
With the CGC, there is no recogition of it here at all. At least you have
that, even though it's not a title. Most people here have never heard of it. I
am hoping to put several more through this year. I think it is important, and it
should be a title. It is something we can do to say that our dogs are well
behaved and stable, and in the face of the anti-dog lobby, I think it's
important for breeders, and the dog world at large, to be seen to be doing
something. Lara (LH) and Zed (SH) both got their's this year, and I believe they
are the first show titled Weis with their CGC. Have not been able to find any
others. Lara was first, so the very first was a LH!

If I had the skills, this email would open with the Hallelujah Chorus.
You see, on Friday night in the Canberra rain, Lara got her third pass in CCD.
She got her second at this very trial last year, in torrential, freezing rain,
and water laying on the ground. In fact, she won the ring in that trial, when
only five dogs got through across all classes due to the conditions.
And since then, nothing.
It seems Lara developed an allergy to doing 'drops' during heeling. And then
she decided that drops were actually OK, the problem was, in fact, the judge.
Stand for examination was an exercise that she always scored full marks in. Rock
solid.
Suddenly that all changed. She got a fright at our club's Competition Day when
she saw someone dressed in clothes like my youngest son wears. You know, 6 sizes
too big. Then she had to go into a ring with a male examiner wearing a baseball
cap. Lara shied, and when he tried to get around her, she actually growled at
him. Those of you who know Lara will be shocked at that, but that is how
strongly she feels
After that, she would not let a male judge or instructor near her without
turning to see what they were up to.
And on Friday night, the judge had a noisy jacket and
- horror of horrors -
a broad brimmed hat.
And it was dark. She used to be scared of the dark.
So I wasn't feeling too confident of a pass, I was thinking it was training.
Lara won't work at any other grounds, either. Our club grounds have the rings
fenced. Other trials have white ring ropes and they look like dog shows. So
traumatised was she by the whole showing thing, that she just refuses point
blank to do anything. Really funny for spectators, not much fun for either of
us.
So we only get about four trials a year, and this was the last one for 2008.
Our good friends Chris and Michelle Coulson trial their Wei boy, Cooper in
Open, and were at the trial, too. Lara let Chris give her a really good pat,
without even a flinch, and I am sure that was the extra boost we needed.
We went in after doing some reving up play with Lara's favourite toy, a white
gorilla with boxing gloves, thanks to some suggestions from another friend, Jo
Hagan. Jo has GSP's - well, nobody's perfect. Lara heeled better than usual,
but we got to the 'Stand for Exam'. The hatted judge walked over, she moved one
foot, two feet, three - but the other stayed cemented to the spot. I am sure it
was held there by the weight of my gaze alone, as I stared at that foot.
To move it was to fail.
The judge commented on how she had moved two feet, I am not sure if he only
saw two, or was being generous due to the difficult climatic conditions.
But I wasn't about to argue!
I was too scared to look at the scores after the heeling. We went in for the
stays, which she has bombed lots of times. Lara thinks that if she stays where I
put her, it's a stay.
The rules say that she also has to stay HOW I put her.
Lara hasn't read the rules.
She, being such a high energy girl (NOT) likes to lay down during the sit /
stay.
My father has a saying.
Why stand when you can sit,
Why sit when you can lay down.
Lara fully concurs.
We were in the sit stay, those eyes started to get heavy, but I am sure I held
up with my thoughts alone.
Then we only had the down stay, which she usually is fine in, mainly because
it takes energy to get up and walk away.
When the judge told us to return to our dogs, I was SO careful not to walk too
close, and perhaps walk on her tail, and I have never been so happy to hear
those two little words
'Exercise Finished'!
It is only CCD, a level that they have put in below CD in place of the old
Novice Encouragement. It gives you a title and is supposed to be very
attainable, and encourage you to continue.
Clearly these people have never met Lara, who probably should be named Cybil,
for all her different personalities.
So I am proud to announce that Lara will now be known as
Australian Champion Sinaway You Can Hope CCD
The first Obedience titled kid for her lovely parents
Gr Ch Sinaway Quest For Gold, Brodie,
and
Aust Ch Sinaway Remembrans Rose, Rosie
Lara can do the Novice exercises, and even some of the Open, but the trick
will be convincing her to do them when I want her to!
Anyway, I just wanted to share that with you.
Wendy (still grinning like an idiot)
