Sharelyn retires her red penDear Members,
It certainly has been my pleasure to bring you the BMDC newsletter
every month, or the last 3 years Little Penelope was just a wee pup,working hard in green class. Her legs still havent grown, but she is now a
wise lass o 5, my how time ies.
My 1st issue was Sept 2010, and in looking through some o the issues o
Mountain ails, I had a look at some o the articles I wrote Starting with
Do Dogs Dream , then getting more serious with ravelling with Dogs
in Vehicles Easter Saety Keeping Dogs Cool in Summer, Human
Foods/Dog Poisons and my avourite Famous Dogs o Film. I enjoyed at
the clubs 30th Anniversary, re-visiting the 1st newsletter, when the club was
only 5 years old, re-printing some o the old photos rom the archives, and
seeing how much the club has played a large part in many peoples lives overtime, and how many o those members are still going strong!
I want to thank you all or your eedback, suggestions, letters, pictures,
jokes and trial results over the years. o the hard working committee that
has been my pleasure to be a part o- Pam, Raoul, Ray, Sharron, Ron
and Connie So many late night cakes! A special thank you to Dori or
keeping me in the loop with pictures o club events, pictures o members
and sending them to me or publishing. People love pictures! Especially
o their dogs. Tank you to Anne S, or spending time with Penny and I,
especially at the beginning, and or your endless history o the club and or
your amazing dogs Wow! Lastly, to Connie or your advise, sensiblereasoning under pressure, hard work, dedication, cakes, (did I mention
cakes) and riendship.
Please dont be shy with your new editor
Lisa has a lot o great ideas, and as you can see
the newsletter already looks better! One thing
that makes this newsletter great is member
contributions so keep them coming. Oh yeah,
thank you to Lisa or taking over the editorship
so I can keep some o my hair!
See you around the dog parks or at training,Sharelyn
Penny looking resplendent! Toni Hutchison Photography

FAREWELL, FELICIT
Dear Ofcials and Members,
I eel like a bit o a traitor leaving a club that has given me so much,but now I have moved to Kurrajong I nd it just too much o an eort to
drive up to Blackheath on a weekly basis. Sounds weak doesnt it when
others possibly drive urther at times, I have no excuse other than it s a big
eort. So, I have joined two clubs down here to make up or the huge hole
in my and Chaos & Mayhems lives. Both clubs are small, one has only
two separate groups during its daytime training classes, and the other on
Monday night has our separate groups. But one meets three times a week
so perhaps its evening classes have more people.
Anyway I want to thank BMDC or helping me to get through possibly
the hardest three/our years o my lie even i you didnt know it. I want tothank all the members and instructors or being so welcoming and sociable, I
cant name everyone, otherwise this letter will take up the whole news letter,
so I have to just single out a ew. First naturally, is Ena or keeping us all
on our toes and organised so that club days ran like an oiled machine and
or her insistance on correctness in training. Next is Connie or her calm,
no uss attitude to training much like Bruces. I also have to think Anne
Salisbury or her eagle eyed ability to pick up on the tiniest mistakes that
make the dierence between dog trainers and dog trainers. Every instructor
brought their own individuality to each class and rom each o you I learned
something new.O everyone though, I have to thank Shelley Grifths or her consistent
patience with my illness generated clumsiness and her skilled ability to
help me overcome it, so much so that my everyday lie is easier not just
in training. So it is Shelley I have to thank most. You made a tangible
dierence to my lie.
So dear BMDC, I hope I can visit occasionally, you collectively hold a
special place in my heart.

Letters to the Editor Mock trial dayA mock trial day was held at
Blackheath in April to assist a
trainee judge Mr O'Connor, whoneeded some practice at judging.
A group rom Blackheath kindly
volunteered.
I'm sure those who entered
gained an experience o what
trialling is all about and we hope
some o those participants will go
on to obedience trialling.
A big thankyou to all the
participants.

Happy trials!Cassie and I entered our rst
trial on Sat 13 July 2013, at the
Springwood District Dog raining
Club Obedience trial, held at
Erskine Park. We entered in theCCD ring, under judge Ms P Ohm
(NSW). We qualied with 92 points,
and that gave us third place - which
was really exiting!
Te next day we were in the
CCD ring at the Penrith Kennel &
Obedience Club trial, also at Erskine
Park. Te judge was Ms H Martyn
(NSW), and unortunately we ailed
the stand or exam and thereore we no qualied.Anyway I cannot wait or our next attempt which will be at the Golden Retriever specialty show in September.
Both o the judges last weekend were very kind, reassuring, and helpul.

explains the nuances o the language our dogs
use to speak to us and their canine kin.
I was able to order this in locally, but it is
