Right then, who is off to Crufts on working day (SAT) and what are we going to do to recognize one another this year? Wearing red hats or flowers in our hair? I will be showing in Open Bitch BMD so will be around for the whole day before my class, lurking and looking out for fellow CD'ers.
Aileen

I'll be there :-)

I've entered in graduate bitch - BOXER

Aileen, Good luck at Crufts (BMD rule!! :D)
I wish I was going but sadly will not this year.
Hopefully be there next year though and hope to be entering my boy (fingers crossed!) His new show lead and collar arrived today, he grow out of his first one.

Not going to watch Gemini?
Hope your new Boy is everything you wished for.
Aileen and the Girlies

Very very tempted to come along and watch!!
Will have to sort out babysitters for dogs and kids, emmm I wonder if I can talk my hubby round ooooooooohhhhhhhhhh I will work on it!!!!!! :D :D:D

Hi,
I'll be there on Thur with Mini's, then on Sat with my partner showing his giant. It's first time for both of them. Been out shopping today to buy smart outfit! That is for my partner not the dog.Lol
Good Luck to everyone - dogs and humans.
Chrisy

We really do need some way of recognizing one another! Who has a sensible idea? We need something unobtrusive but easy to see?

I am showing on the Friday.

But I should also be there on the Thursday and Saturday, as I am supposed to be taking part in a KCGC display. My training instructor phoned me about a month ago asking if I would be part of the team and I said yes... haven't heard anything else yet, I hope it's still going ahead!

I'm there on Friday (Fingers crossed) which is the best group day - the most interesting & useful dogs!!!!! ;-)  ;-)  ;-)

Now that is a matter for conjecture !!! (Sp The spell check said it's right!!)

oh I haaaaaaaaate Saturdays!!! But I will be there! :-D
(Might try for Friday too if your there Christine!)

I was thinking of making badges this year along the lines of this...Logo I made for the quiz we could have our names in place of quiz addicts and I can shrink it down to button size for a little lapel badge!
whatcha think?? :-D

I can imagine the Munster people viewing me with suspicision if I wore a badge, they might think I was touting for puppy sales or some such thing!  ;-)   

Ooohhh no, I can imagine me ringside with this tall blonde screeching over to nab Curtis from me..........

I will be there Thursday (doing Discover Dogs AFTERNOON only, BSD Malinois -that means I'm easy to find then!), shopping and viewing Goldens on the Friday, and yes showing Malinois Saturday (in Post Grad dog, GC dog, PG bitch, veteran bitch and GC bitch) and Sunday I'm resting my feet at home!

Yes me also on Friday so we will have to meet up Christine :-)

You had better try for the Friday Liv as you owe me a drink or two ;) :-)

I'll be there on Saturday :-D

She owes me the most humungous bar of Dairy Milk ever!  

Oh yes, Lucy - I think Munsters have been moved in to Hall 4 this year, usually we are next door in the showrings to the Labs & Goldens.  Ditto Marianne, I'm expecting to see you too!    

How about so that CDer's can recognise each other at Crufts maybe have a badge or just a sticky label with the letters
                 CDer's?
No one would be the wiser who did not know what it meant??
You can get those bright coloured stickers from most craft shops, I think Wilkinsons sell them too

Saturday with TMs and Thursday with the Akitas. Poss DD on Thursday if we are short of volunteers,

I'm definitely going on Saturday and I will be found around the Samoyed ring....I am contemplating whether to go the other days too, I really want to, but I know I'll spend an ungodly amount of money if I do!! :-)

I'm there on Saturday with my big handsome boy!! Haven't entered my girl as she hasn't been to indoor show yet and isn't looking her best at mo.

Will be round the mastiff ring with Winston!!!! Can't miss him, look for the dopey looking one LOL!!!!!:-D

I will be there showing on Saturday and shopping on Friday.:-)

I'll be there with my Beardies, Hall 1

Lol Kay

Oh liv i am gutted i dont think we are going Saturday and i'd have loved to have met you! my husband has to stay home to watch the others and i hate crufts on my own i think its the worst dog show ever! you cant ask friends to watch your dog as they are in the same predicament as you.. waiting till 4pm to leave unless i feign a dog injury but it seems everyone else thinks the same as the queue for the vets was enormous for the past few years :-D
You cant bundle our breed in a cage and go walkabout lol they'd drag the stalls with them..

Will be there on Friday with the wires

Tracy

There on Friday with young Connor! 

Could be going on my own this year as OH currently due to go to a conference in Portugal!!! :(

nooo! sat is best! working dogs are great! anyway, i'll be there to watch, first time and i'm bouncing with excitement at the thought :D

paula your boy is gorgeous! i'll be keeping an eye out for him. lol winstons such a great name to

I will be there Friday, with Alf in Graduate (Irish Setter) and im hoping to be accepted into the cani-cross at crufts on the Friday with Fagan, wont know until nearer the time though :)

Im going my first time too can not wait, got to wear sensible shoe's and a wad full of cash have been told

i'm working overtime every sunday untill then and will be wearing very comfy shoes and taking a packed lunch and a loaded digital camera

Thank you!!! He's such a spoilt brat!!! They are all fantastic!

lol your welcome. not seen that strong a brindle before in a mastiff, tis very nice

Im competing with flynn in the welsh teams on the team obedience days. On thurs we are Working C & on Sunday we are reserve (so prob just lazing about & parading!) for the World Cup

I also hope to go on Fri to watch the Ticket Dog Ob, but will have to see how the fiances are

Saturday for me, bag humbug, will be far too busy. Saves me money though, as I won't move far from the ring.

M.

So wot about a certain colour ribbon or is that to naff

i have a phobia of most ribbons (no really, their just creepy)

really how is that ?

i dunno, they just creep me out, i just don't like the texture 9i'm not that weird, my sis is scared of elvis impersonators. seriously)

i am going all four days as a spectator and SHOPPER. also got tickets for best in show. really looking forward to it.

I will be there on the Thursday.  No doubt I'll spend far too much on the dogs as usual.  It's true about the feet though.  One year mine hurt so much that I bought a pair of slippers at one of the stands!!!

i will be making sure i have comfy flat shoes. ( and some cooling gel ) lol

I'm going on Saturday hopefully. We should all wear a badge or something to recognise each other by.

Claire

I am going Sat with our Leo boy but not taking our girl this time.  I hate Sats aswell it is awfully busy and you just can't move.  We are hoping he will have a coat by then and got some weight on him aswell.
Not been on for ages so i have missed lots. 
Yvonne

Going on Friday(shopping) and Saturday(glued to Leo ring)
No dog to show yet, hopefully next year I get to take my baby girl.

I'm going on Saturday.Will be at the Sam ring most of the day.

thursday, utility and shopping (figure it'll be quietest), fri wandering, sat bullmastiffs, mastiffs, leo's, neo's, boxers, danes, gsd's...

Ooh...look out for me round the mastiffs!!

I'll be there all 4 days!!  I'm volunteering for Pat Dogs with my Great Dane.  You can't miss us!!!  I'll be wearing a bright yellow t-shirt and he'll be the 14 stone brindle wearing a bright yellow coat. 

Luckily for volunteer dogs (unlike show dogs) we can come and go as we please.  So I'm aiming on working each morning and then going home just after lunchtime to let Benson get some rest ready for the next day!!

I will however be there all day on the Sunday as we are involved in a Pat dog parade in the Good Citizens ring. 

Please all come and say Hi to me - I've never done this before and need lots of friendly faces to stop me feeling nervous!!  Oh yeah, Benson wants lots of fuss too!!!! 

Hi, I'm new here & i'm going to Crufts on the working day.  I also have a Bernese (male) entering the puppy class.
