It was years ago when I last went there.  Hopefully there isn't a match on!!!  The car park is a good size that's all I can remember.  Not much help am I :d  I believe that the import register isn't in until after 12 so I'll be there from about 11.30 onwards, can't see us being in before 4 myself.

Thers 33 classes in the ring before us!!! OH BOY!!!

Archer

Junction 20 off the M62 and there are quite a few breeds there!!  It's the first time they've ever had import register and they've given us 4 classes including veteran, so that's why I've entered all my dogs.  I must be mad it'll be my 10 year olds third show ever, she won't be impressed with me I'm sure!!!

It should be ideal for you, not too far away and quite a variety of dogs.

cheers for the info.

Oh you may not know my breed, they are Spanish Water Dogs, I've got 3 black and white wooly ones, they look like a Poodle crossed with an Old English and one white and black one who is clipped!!

Diane
Nice to meet you at last!! Ican see why you imported your SWD..I was watching your 'ickle man' playing with the brown SWD ....he looks such a clown.
How did you do today...had to leave just as you went in.
Hope to see you again
Archer.

You are right about Anton being a clown, he was the same in the ring, jumping up and diving over his lead, so he got third out of 3 :d   His great, great grandma won her class  and I think that the judge quite liked her but she had her hyperactive head on as well and kept on begging for food and jumping up.

I was so pleased with my other two girls too as my ten year old has only been shown twice before and is a bit shy but she was great.  Her daughter though did her usual, lets jump up 6 feet into the air when you go and stand near the judge.

Loved your lad too, we had a good chat together!!!!  Well done to your daughter too for winning, I hope you heard us give her a round of applause.
