All about me...
Hi I am Dash and I live with my Mum & Dad, Craig & Wendy. Up until Feb 2007 it was all about me. Then mum & dad brought home a new little brother for me. Did I need one, I ask?? I still hear mum tell people that I am still her first born number one girl. So I guess that's cool. A little about me. I am a slim 18kg, they call me Dash as I have lots of different colours in my fur. I like to keep it long most of the year but get a big hair cut closer to summer. Makes me look even skinnier which is great for attracting new male friends. Speaking of, I lost my best friend this year, Dex the doberman, I miss the bugger as I now have no one to try and dominate. He was good to me and always put up with all my moods.
I really love...
I love playing with all my toys and I am trying to educate my new brother on throwing and fetching. I am hoping to teach him to fetch for me out of the pantry when he gets a little older. I say start them young. I love to water ski and bless it's that time of year. I am water conscious and never go in without my jacket. I love to socialise with mates, sitting around on the stools out the back and cracking a cold one. I love to chase the magpies and we have these massive looking dogs out the back, mum & dad call them cows, Silly Buggers run away everytime I try and talk to them. Oh most of all I love FOOD!!

- Teach your child to interact appropriately with dogs and not to 'play-fight' or play 'tug-of-war' games with them. Dogs can get overexcited or frightened if there is a lot of noise. So put your dog out of the way when children are playing loud games and running around.
- Teach your dog to sit before you allow visitors to stroke it. Allowing it to jump up on people may frighten or annoy them, and children may feel very intimidated by the dog’s behaviour.
- If you see a dog with its owner,always ask the owner for permission to pat the dog. Allow the dog to sniff the back of your hand first. If it is happy to be patted, it will sniff your hand and move towards you. You can then stroke the dog under its chin.
- Take your dog to puppy pre-school or dog obedience school. It is very important for dogs, in particular puppies, to be socialised with other dogs and people. Remember - if your dog is trained and issued with a training certificate, you will receive a rebate on your dog registration fee.
- Dogs can be scared by sudden disturbances. Scared dogs may bite. Always call the dog first so that you do not surprise it. Do not go near any dog when it is eating its meal or chewing a bone, especially if you do not know the dog. If you approach, the dog may bite to defend its food.
