I've  just recieved my passes for Belfast champ show!! I'm soo excited!!!!!! Anyone else got theirs????

No I haven't had mine yet but my daughters YKC passes for all her obedience stuff arrived yesterday.

Have you been to the show before??? Whats it like??? I thought it was being held in the balmoral showgrounds but looking at the schedule it looks like its inside the Kings Hall! I love when the kids are involved in the whole experience!

We have been two years but are not going this year.  I am not keen on their benching which is in a totally seperate hall to the judging.  I find it a bit too crowded and it is not one of my favourite shows but a lot of people love it.

Hi thomas-the-spot, I am abit worried about benching my dog as I know alot of people have conflicting views on the issue. Do the rings get quite crowded at this particular show???

The ringsides do get quite crowded and we have twice seen people actually walking across the rings as they are not very clearly defined!  I personally dont like the show but I am sure there are many who do even though we had a BOB two years ago there.

Hi Thomas-the spot! Well done you on winning BOB two years running! This is our first time at the show and our first champ show too! I don't want to tread on anyones toes and break rules but did many people cage their dogs near the ring? Thanks.

good luck Clare .....now stop worrying!!! ...........you 'll be fine

I dont know what breed you are in but I wouldnt have said there was any room for cages ringside.  We just wandered around with ours on leads.

Julius a 13 mth old English Bull terrier!!! He'll be bulldozing the crowds out of the way!!! Hi Roni! I'm freaking out!!!!! Are you going to the show at the weekend????

Sadly :( no Laurie cant get the time off work .
