Could anyone tell me if the FEI eventing qualification criteria has a time period to it? I.e. the two proceeding half seasons? Thanks!

That's what I was trying to find, thank you for the link!!

Thank you. Do you know the requirements for CIC**/CCI**?

I have tried and failed to get confirmation on the qualification requirements of FEI events. Could someone please explain in layman's terms?? For an uncatergorised rider I think to do CIC/CCI* and CIC/CCI**. Thank you!

Unfortunately this seems to be the case with me too....I have received an email back saying they won't place a dog in kennels, when at no point have I said they will be in kennels. It would be so much easier just to buy a puppy, but I would rather give a dog a home that doesn't have one!

It was more in response to the below reply, which IMO is implying that my dogs aren't loved, and the situation in which they are kept isn't acceptable.

I'd just like to add I ADORE my dogs, and they know it. I have always been complemented on how well behaved and happy they are. Just because they don't sleep in a house doesn't mean they are in anyway neglected. The reason I'd love to rehome a rescue as I know there are a lot of them that...

I've tried again, hopefully you will be able to reply to it. Thanks everyone.

Thank you for your concerns. At no point have I said they are guard dogs. I have had dobermans, rotties and GSDs in the past with no problems at all, but I will, as always when rehoming a dog, take care in the selection.

Thank you for that link. Ive messaged Cayla to find out a bit more, and also joined the rottie and dobie pages on fb. Thank you!

Hi, I hope you don't mind me pm'ing you! Could you ppossibly let me know a little more about your boy? Many thanks!

Yes I think that might be the case :(

I don't have a problem with people not being able to get in! :D My yard is private, with only 2 people coming and going so it wouldn't be a problem, and I am always there if the farrier comes or the vet etc. The yard is 8 mins from my house, so very local. Cayla whereabouts are you?

I would love to give a dog a home that was currently in kennels, that would be the ideal! But I just don't seem to be able to get through the process easily. I have called again today and left messages for the coordinators that cover my area for the GSD rescue. What is frustrating is the urgent...

I'm Oxfordshire, near Wallingford. I have tried various rescue centres, and have had no luck. I have contacted the GSD rescue and the rottweiler rescue, filled in the adoption forms and am awaiting home visits for both. This was months ago and I have chased up a few times! I am really keen to...
