Has anyone had the same reaction from family as me,I came home from Cruft chuft as can be my 13month old bitch came 2nd in her class the dog the same age came third in his.The family did not even mention this.I rang on Friday night full of my self to no interest. I had the top winning bich in my breed for five years. do you think that after a while the rest of your family become complacent, I am now feeling defated that my joy for my youngsters has been taken away.

yes!!!! poor souls can only pretend to be interested for so long :D bless them.

My family and the few non dog freinds cannot comprehend that you pay for the priveledge of entering a show, and then don't get huge prize money if you win.

Know the feeling , non show people think you earn money if you win at a show huh i wish ,except for crufts we even have to buy the b****y rosettes (at champ shows)
