Hi Lassie, I went down on the Thursday to see the working breeds. What a fab atmosphere, I'd never been before but it was wonderful.

If you like dogs then you'd be happy as a pig in sh*t!!

The TV footage was a whole lot better this year - showed loads more then they ever had but who was that eejit that was presenting it? His Dad's work is fantastic - not sure about the offspring....

I've got loads of pics - not sure about posting them here coz they are other peoples pets and I don't have their permission but if you're interested I can try and set them up on a web page for you to see???

Hi , its a long day for the dog and me. Leave at 4 am home at llpm its too long and im getting too old for it:D . It is a great day out if you without a dog and the buzz is fantastic. When you enter adog you have to cart all the doggie gear that goes with it. Plus, if as most ,one has a good spend up then you have to carry all that as well:( Fell shattered for the next week LOL. This year found it more relaxing at home,glass of wine, ogling Ben Fogle:D (eejit LOL well he's better than most of the others)

Were you showing? Sorry - didn't realise :rolleyes:

I must admit I saw all those people carting so much stuff round and felt so sorry for them - that must be a nightmare. I didn't even take the kids - definately Mummy's day out!!

Not this year as hoped to have mated my bitch and whelped her by now. Still hasnt come into season LOL. You're not allowed out of the show until a certain time and then you have that long trek home, if you're unlucky to live far away,and its just so exhausting. I always seem to be the driver too:mad: . If they moved it back to London that would be great. Bad back doesn't help:(

I went to Crufts for the first time this year, it was great! Went on Thursday loved it so much went back Saturday! It was far too busy Saturday, so many people and carrier bags!! What do people buy? Every other person seemed to have a broom? LOL. :)

[lassie]

:D That's the problem so many doogy goodies to buy;) , but you have to remember that the goodies have to get back to the car:( . With a dog plus show bag its alot to carry especially if TOH is not there. Still i do like a good spend up:D

Nope i live 2 far away but i did watch it on TV. It was excellent and the Best In Show dog was beautiful. Does an1 disagree with me?
