Entries at crufts !!!
Blimey :D

(290 Staffys entered with 153 of those being dogs - easy peasy - here we come ) ;)

The thing I liked best about the Crufts information is that we are not in the ring before 11.00 - OH! joy.

dont care dont care
I like getting up super early to get there ;)

Looks like we'll be up super early too, to get there for 9.am. Where did you find the breed entry figures Lel?

How about Australian Cattle Dogs?

I'm sorry but I'm going to get on my soapbox now.  Can't believe that a breed with an entry of 1 can be shown, when many of the import register breeds would put in double figures!!!!!!

STOP THE IMPORT REGISTER NOW, PLUS WHY CAN'T WE SHOW AT CRUFTS IF BREEDS LIKE THIS CAN!!!!  Come on the Kennel Club, change you policies. 

Hi perrodeagua

When you enter your spanish water dogs at open (not champ) shows, do you find theres many people in the class? Are Import Register classes common? (maybe I'll see you in the import classes next year!!) I can't understand why some breeds on the import register can not be shown and yet breeds with entries at crufts of below 10 are allowed to be. Russian Black terriers seem to be getting more popular too now, wonder how long it will be before they come off the import list. I still cant understand why Crufts can't put on Import Register classes - if they can compete at champ shows then why not at crufts?

There were 11 Spanish Water Dogs at an Open SHow last week.  Must admit it's the first time they had entries so we pulled out all stops to enter!!

Total entry of 35
16 dogs and 19 bitches :)
