What on yours?

At the moment only pigs ears on mine lol!!

tripe sticks , vet bed  and anything else i can carry

Beds, the puppy destuffed one of our beds and the next day he destuffed another one :( they are not quite down to bare boards but if he keeps going.........

A button clicker.
A shepherd's whistle (if I can find one).
Books (long list of).
Not a lot else as I won't be very flush.... Oh and a few things with my breed on as they are hard to find elsewhere! Even a fridge magnet would be something!

My O.H bought me a lovely fleece with sparkles,kennel name breeds and embroidered picture of my main breed  at LKA (Christmas pressie)may look at the waterproof version at Crufts :)

same here. coat or jacket with kennelname, my name and picture all embroided.

The absolute minimum needed:
2 Papillon collars
1 Papillon show lead
1 Papillon everyday leather lead
2 Papillon sized coats

That's the smallest shopping list I've ever had I think! It will probably grow......

No list, I just seem to end up with stuff I never knew I "needed" (and just to be on the safe side I always take a shopping trolley to save carrying too much).

Jude, Who did he get it from?(pm me) I love it! Ive seen several before but none as nice.

Ive got numerous bits and pieces (mainly grooming stuff), and not just for me...I always seem to end up taking shopping lists for others too! Need some more dog food too but will have to see how far away we end up parked!

2 kongs, 2 new collars for the boys, vet bed, a halti, and lot's of other goodies i'm sure!! :)

Ooh yes I might get some Plush Puppy shampoo.  My breed don't need a lot in the way of grooming though!

Maybe a bag of food but as someone else has mentioned - depends how many miles we are parked away!

Oh I am buying a grooming apron for a friend - but she will choose that herself.

I am picking up ideas from reading this - not a good idea though lol!!  :)

I have never been to Crufts and am going with my friend on the 11th as she is showing her dog.

I am so so excited as I have two dogs now one boy and a girl and can buy pink and blue of everything lol

Is the shopping really good? :)

Ooh more collars and leads. Vet bed is a must - large roll of it.
Probably more pet pharmacy items too.
That all i think i actually need right now, but i'm sure wants will come up very high as i wander the halls

We are going too - yippee
Are the stalls cheaper than buying stuff on the net?

Not all but some have some very good discounts at Crufts..

> Not all but some have some very good discounts at Crufts..

Beds and collars? trying to work out how much money I will need to take lol

A puppy pen and some vet bedding

dog world useally list all the trade stands and where they are so i know where to get what i want, which saves so mush time ( and oh says money too).

> My O.H bought me a lovely fleece with sparkles,kennel name breeds and embroidered picture of my main breed  at LKA (Christmas pressie)may look at the waterproof version at Crufts

My daughter got me to buy her the waterproof one when we were at LKA - it's lovely, sparkly and pale blue - good customer service from Anne at Big Paw embroidery den....  Might have to go and order one for me!

Have not got a list as yet, more a case of "shop till you drop" lol :-D

Coat for Ellie. All over coat if I can find a beige / brown one for George. New pin brush. Hmm, I'm sure there was other stuff - must start writing it down!

First is restock on shampoos etc then with whats left treat the dogs to there favourite honey pigs noses, that seems to be the next best thing to them after liver cake.  And just maybe if I see a nice Phalene ornament might be tempted to use the dreaded (OH's nightmare) "card" LOL :-)

Lots of books (showing books if anyone can recommend a good one?)
vet bedding
feeding bowls
collars
grooming scissors
shampoos
wormer

Not sure if the prices are much different from online prices, but no p&p to pay and no waiting in for delievies :)

Border Terrier show lead, some treats, wormers, usaully buy OH something for dog sitting.
Also clippers blades and some new scissors, and if any nice print, i could be tempted!!
I collect my £2 coins from one March to the other for spending money every year, so love spending it!! lol

i love the shopping at crufts, this year i need..fancy crested show lead, maybe some crested coats, wormer, tripe stick, pigs ears, shampoo, vet bed..............would like a show trolley but not sure i need it! last year came home with subscrition to dog papers, crested gold figure for chain, body warmer with dog and affix on,haltis, training leads and a crazy rubbish brush.... usually end up with tons i wasnt looking for lol oh i carnt wait...

Crown'nGlory grooming Spray
new show leads x 2
half check collar and lead
Mason Pearson junior size brush
Drontal wormer
Coat King ( medium size)
...that's just for starters ...heaven knows what I'll get tempted with once I'm there !!

Will there be puppias at Crufts? (how do I find out what stalls are going to be there?

> Coat King ( medium size)

Are these any good? What coats do they suit? (it's so hard to find out without asking other people!)

Check out on the Crufts site . Trade exhibitors section. it tells you where all the stands will be, hall and number they are at.
Helps loads and saves time when you know exactly where you are aiming for. Thats if you know the name of the company you are going to. ;o)

no there won't be any puppies at Crufts. Its a long enough day for adult dogs and there certainly wouldn't be any puppies for sale.

ooh i cant wait i hope they have something flat coated retriever related

I believe Yabadabadoo may have been asking about Puppia harnesses and leads

In that case I apologise to yabbadoo. i thought it was a spelling error as I've not heard of that company.

I have an ever growing list, most of which is just 'stuff' - but wanted to get a dog shaped bag for my little neice (i.e. like a stuffed toy, but a bag). Don't suppose anyone has any idea of which companies might sell them, so I can plan my attack?

Thanks,
M.

OOOPs I've got to appologise to her as well I  got a bit carried away with her username totally unintentionally and too late to edit when I realised

Oh no.. now all I can hear is Fred Flinstones call.. :-) :-O

WILMAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
;O))

:-o No definately not puppies, puppia harnessesis what I am after for my 2 boys ;-)

I'm so excited about seeing Crufts on TV this year, we were meant to go but Sophie will be in heat and my university wouldn't give me the day off so cant go now :( I wanted to do the whole shopping thing and buy the dogs/(me) things that they don't really need.

Alas there is always next year, hope everybody enjoys themselves spend lots of money on useless items that they have to persuade the husband that its what the dog needs.
