Thame and Thame Again Spike, Passi, Google and Toto ready to meet their public. Here’s Evie mee?ng a visitor. Aussies have a great affinity with children as this photo shows, Meet Jake who came with his family. Turned up and had a makevover for free!! He was brilliant.His owners stumbled on Aussies a few years ago at the Thame Game Fair.
SCATC always strives to find ways to introduce our breed to more and more people. If we don’t create more interest, our numbers will decline s?ll further and so once again we are suppor?ng some of the Game and Country Fairs. These provide an opportunity for visitors to learn more about the breed. People don’t come to the Fairs to look for a new dog, they come as they enjoy the country ac?vi?es and many are great dog enthusiast. Winning over these people is just one way to create more awareness of the breed. This year Thame was held over the May Bank Holiday weekend and like most of these events it wasn’t the best weather! But we had a constant stream of people stopping to find out more. A couple of people even knew of Aussies that lived locally and they came to cheer us on in the main ring for the parade. Most people who have an Aussie rarely see another Aussie in their everyday lives, so it was great to see some Aussie owners come to Thame to meet us and give their Aussies a chance to see and play with other Aussies. Think they all enjoyed themselves. What was even more interes?ng was that some had seen the Aussies at the Game Fairs and had been hooked. Sue even joined the parade with her two – Ossie and Trixie. They performed very well and the more dogs that are seen, the more it creates an interest in our breed. Twiglet and his family even joined us at the tent. Great to see Aussies that have never met just get on and have a great ?me. We mustn’t forget Jake and his family, who also came to meet up with us all. It is hard work sePng up the display and being there for 2 full days. And it’s not just tough on us, but our Ambassador Aussies as well. It is always a great asset when other Aussie owners volunteer to help. Without them, it would be very difficult to do these events. Everyone who comes always enjoys themselves and the dog do as well. So if you are free when it’s a Game Fair – why not come along and join in the fun. OK I’m ready for the public says Twiglet Ossie and Trixie ready to strut their stuff in the parade All day long we had a continuous flow of interest. Not even time for lunch!
