Hi everyone! As you probably all know the annual Toronto Dog Festival held at St. Lawrence market is coming up . Lindsay (who organized the Toronto Dobe meet up @ High Park) has set up another meet up on Saturday June 11 at 10 am...I believe Joanne and Reyna will be there on this day (Joanne correct me if I'm wrong). I will be there for sure, unfortunately I can only come on Sunday since I'm working on Saturday...booooo! If anyone is willing to meet up that day...that would be awesome. Dyanne, I know we missed you and Jack at the meet up due to his training but if you are free and would like to meet me and Diesel that would be great. So far, I have meet Reyna and Isis and that was fun...hope I get to meet more Dobereich dobes ;D It's gonna be hectic and crazy but can't wait to see what all sorts of goodies I'll be picking up...I do hope mother nature blesses us with good weather that day.

I'm undecided to try and make that or not. I might be doing some testing passes one of the days that weekend and "try and rotate the earth the other way" and go for a personal best pass! LOLOL at Grand Bend Motorplex.
My wife is away in South Carolina that weekend and I would have to take Zeus racing and it's pretty tough to have him at the track when I'm racing if it's hot. I had him with me this past Saturday and it was ok, but deeper into June probably too hot.
I have to think about it and watch the weather and decide. If there ends up being a bunch of Dobereich dogs attending that would be really cool.
Is this a leashed event for the most part? I've heard about it but never been there? Like I said my male won't be free running with a bunch of dogs but if it's mostly leashed then it's easy to control what happens and who is around who as far as dogs go.

As far as I'm concerned it is a leashed event since there will be a lot of people and it wouldn't make sense to me if dogs were allowed to run around the place...I heard they have areas (I think they have play pens) where it is off-leash but its for small dogs I believe. I know for sure there will be a lot of dobes on the Sat since Lindsey set up that event. It would be neat really if quite a few Dobereich dobes show up If you need more info, here's the link: www.woofstock.ca/

Oh, dear. Woofstock is a week before our trial, so I doubt that we'll be going . . . though you never know. If we do go, it will probably be a last-minute decision. Walking a dog through crowds of people, especially when many of those people have dogs in tow, is great training so we always look for opportunies to do this.

My thoughts exactly about the socalization and training opportunity! This past weekend I took Zeus to the dragstrip with me and the 1st time when I was actually racing, not just watching or hanging around with everyone. 1st time for him this year at the track while in operation as opposed to free runnuing when closed and he's still golden!!! Open exhaust race cars going by and making passes and the people sounds and smells and he's happy as ever. Sat in the stands for a while with me watching. He even had a couple track hotdogs and at least let me get one bite of each of them. He was quite the hit with the ricer/tuner car younger crowd that was on the road course and having a car show.

It definitely is a good place for socialization. Tons of people, tons of noise and tons of food LOL!!! I always expose him to noisy areas so he gets used to it. People love him too! They come around and soon as they start scratching certain areas (especially ears and chest)...he's hooked! Such a suckie!!!
Zeus is lucky to have such a good dad to take him to the race track. I'm glad he had a good time. Even if you don't go above and beyond...the tiniest things excites them. It's very rewarding to see them happy.

So I'll definitely see you there on Sunday then. Joanne, please do not put anything too sexy on Reyna... ;D I definitely don't want to be standing in a puddle of drool that'll for sure be oozing out of Diesel's mouth!!! You'll definitely hear a loud "woof woof" somewhere in the crowd when she struts her stuff ;D Call it incest but you know he'll acknowledge a fine piece of a** when he sees one! ;D ;D

Seriously I was trying to figure out how to go to Grand Bend next weekend for some testing with my Nova and "let it eat" on the bottle (Nitrous) but my wife is away visiting her sister and I can't leave Zeus at home that long alone. I can take him but it can't be real hot because then it's no good for him when i'm actually in the lanes or making the pass. So I am still up in the air. It sounds like Sunday is the Woofstock day for Diesel, so what time, and where are the Dobereich's gathering? Zeus is getting excited to hear his lady is in the fashion show! He's bugging me to show up!! Eric there with Isis and/or Ronin? Anyone else? This is sounding more like a better plan than the track

Gary, it would be really nice if you and Zeus can come. I'll probably be there around 10-11 am on Sunday and will most likely spend the rest of the afternoon there. As for Eric, I'm not quite sure if he'll be there ...Joanne might know. I asked Dyanne too if she and Jack are coming but it looks like they can't make it. There will definitely be a lot of dobes on Saturday at 10 am...the meet up that Lindsay set up.

At this point I think Sataurday may be my track day and Sunday I'll try and make Woofstock and see you guys.
I'm watching the weather to make sure no rain for the track and not too hot to have Zeus there Saturday. I think Sunday it will be Woofstock either way. Stay Tuned!
It would be nice to meet you and Joanne there and any other Dobereich people that may show up.

When I was attending the shows last year with Monica she put me onto coat sprays. All the dogs get a shot of coat spray prior to the ring and the one she was telling me to try is by a company called Miracle Coat. They have a Shampoo that has tea tree oil in it and a coat spray called Miracle Mist with tea tree oil. I started to use that shampoo and Miracle Mist and it's amazing stuff. I've only found it at shows and I stocked up last spring. I don't bathe Zeus much now that he's been sleeping in his crate maybe once a month at best or if he was out running and got muddy, but a few times a week I give him a shot of Miracle Mist and a quick brush and then a wipe with a terry towel and he shines like a fresh waxed car after the Miracle Mist detailing. Amazing stuff! I have looked and never seen it in any stores. It works so good I have no desire to try alternatives. Usually there are exibitors at most CKC shows selling it. The one guy was from KW Area, hopefully at Woofstock they have someone selling the stuff. I'm down to my last bottle of Miracle Mist and enough shampoo for maybe one or two more baths. Picture enclosed. It's cheap too from the show guy I bought it from $9.73 shampoo and coat spray same price. After you use the coat spray and a quick brush and then wipe the dog's coat with a towel you should see what comes off on the towel. Attachments:

Ok it's now going to be Saturday at Woofstock for us. Satureday weather at the track at Grand Bend isn't looking great on Saturday, but Sunday is cooler and perfect for going fast with the racecar and better cooler for Zeus to be there. So I'm at the track Sunday instead.
Gary and Zeus at Wolfstock Saturday now. So he has Reyna all to himslef without Diesel trying to cut his grass LOLOLOL, Just kidding!!!!! I'll try and make The Doberman Meet group too at Wolfstock on Saturday and carry the Dobereich Toruch with the group.
