So I received this today is anyone interested in going as happy to organise a group to go.

Early opportunity to book for 2026 Dog Lovers Cruise. Act quickly before its released

Hi Karen,

As promised, I am offering you the opportunity to book on the 2026 Dog Lovers Cruise before I officially release the cruise details in the next few weeks.

This cruise will be 8 nights sailing to the South Pacific aboard Royal Caribbean, Quantum of the Seas, departing Brisbane December 4th 2026, stopping at Port Vila, Mystery Island and Noumea.
There will be 4 days of sailing with 32 presentations for you to choose your favourite 16 from. Most presentations will be different from last year to offer you new learning opportunities.

At this stage Kaye McGhie, Dr Xavier & Dr Hannah Schneider, Ryan & Jen Tate, Steve & Vicki Austin and Amy Smith will definitely be joining us. More will be revealed in the coming weeks.

The cabins and conference rooms have been secured, however Royal Carribean are only offering twin share balcony and interior cabins with guaranteed prices on the group allocation. First to book, will receive these best prices, then it will become the price of the day.
If you wish to book a quad or triple share, these will be at the best price of the day, which my travel agent will advise, when you make an inquiry.
I do not recommend triple share cabins unless one person is willing to sleep on the couch, as these are turned into a single bed, but not as comfortable as the single beds and can make the cabin very cramped.

Prices Are:

Interior: Twin share is $2335.00 per person with $250 per person deposit
Balcony Cabin - Twin share: $2885.00 per person $250 per person deposit.

Some single cabins may be available, however the prices are more expensive than booking a twin share cabin, so I recommend you book a twin share.

Once booked, you will receive a BPay code that is specific to your booking and with this you will be able to make multiple payments over the next 14 months.

Please ensure you book through myself and my travel agent using the booking form below if you wish to be part of the Dog Lovers Cruise and attend any presentations.
Bookings outside my Travel Agent will result in non attendance to any and all activities involving the Dog Lovers Cruise group. No Exceptions.

If your travel buddy, who will be sharing your cabin with you, does not wish to attend any presentations, I will be offering a discount of $400 to them. They are able to attend the cocktail party and dining, just not the presentations.

Don't delay, book today and share with your friends you may wish to join us, before the official launch.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Kind regards,

Valerie Bulte

Students of the week:
Charlie and Toby, Charlie has done an amazing job working with Toby. He has taught his dog to not only work on verbal cues but also on whistle cues. All within only a few months. I can’t wait to see what these two can achieve together in the future.

Well some of the team headed off to Taupo in really bad weather on Friday for the obedience shows Saturday and Sunday.
Thankfully the weather came right and a great weekend had by most of the team.
I will say that I was really impressed by the Agrade team in Taupo. Some really really lovely heel work done by a number of the combinations.
Both Sherri and Irma had beautiful heel work rounds this morning in C
Lauren and memo really nice yesterday in both rounds.
But honestly i think all the Agrade team had some really good bits to all their rounds and the dogs looked happy and excited to be working 😀
Well done team results of some tests in photos
Great show and thanks to Taupo Club and Bill and Vicky who work very hard for the club.

Out and about today, what did your dogs get up to this weekend?

18/04/2025

Puppy and young dog class on Wednesday night.
It was fantastic to see all the dogs so focused on their owners and working on verbal cues rather than the lead being used. Well done to all owners involved 👏
