Just wanted to say good luck to everybody who is showing their dogs and to all those who are lucky enough to be going to watch I hope you have a fab time. Unfortunately I couldn't go this year :(

Those of you who are showing make sure you let us know how you get on. I will be keeping my eyes peeled for you when I'm watching at home.

I am really annoyed as my youngest came in season Friday and she was booked for eye testing too, and will now have to stay at home by herself.  A Friend will look in on her and of course my offspring will be home for much of the day.

Oh what a pain these girls are hey!

oh yes, good luck to all of the showing people, hopefully i will see some of you about with your lovely doggies! really hoping i see some of you in the group stages and beyond! who knows! best of luck!

I say thanks to you for that....
We are on the night boat with our boy on Friday arriving Saturday morning. Travel up to see our new puppy in the morning...So excited...Then up to Birmingham to be ready for for our day on Sunday. Will look out for forum badges and announce myself should I see any.
Good luck to all of you too.

oh good, it's not just me then!! at my parents now getting camera and thermos flask for coffee :) leaving early wed morning so might start packing tonight!

Starting to get nervous now.  Dreamt about it the other night and I have shown Alice for 8 years this will be her 6th time at Crufts but I think I'm more nervous now than when I went for the first time.  Maybe its because she is in veteran now - I don't know

Yes GOOD LUCK to everyone who is showing, i hope you all do really well, i will be going for second time to watch and shop!! really excited.

good luck carolw(;)

im going on Saturday (working day) to support all my friends and thier dogs.
also lots of SHOPPING!!!!!!!!
The boys are staying with a freind in portsmouth so we are dropping them off Friday afternoon and picking them up on Sunday.
I have wanted to go to crufts since i was a little girl so this is a dream come true (even if im not showing.)
Although i am glad im not because im getting nerves for all my friends so i dont know what i would be like if i was showing!!!!

Went last year for the first time and had a brilliant day.Thought it would be great to actually show our dog,Demon an Alaskan Malamute.As at that time he had only been shown in a local small Agricultural show we thought it would be unlikely.But guess what!We braved the show ring and entered him in the National Working and Pastoral show in July and Frank Kane placed him second in his Class.We have not looked back and regularly show Demon who is doing really well having had BOB and 1st class placings.We now have 4 Alaskan Malamutes!Can't wait for crufts.Please say hi.Demon is in Post Grad and our kennel name is Kernowerghki,which means Cornwall Snow Dogs.

okay i will come and say hi.

Thanks I always get nervous and feel sick before I show but we all love it once we are in and especially when its over.My hubby will be showing Demon.My girl dropped her coat really badly and couldn't show her from Sept to Dec.Shes fine now.Maybe next year.

Well anyone coming on sunday come and say hello near ring 27 in hall five.

Thanks and good luck to everyone who is showing. I'm afraid my two have decided that naked is this year's fashion!

Good Luck to everyone, have a great time ;-)

Paula

We'll be in on Sunday...ring 27,hall 5(elkhounds the same as Brainless),one in Limit dog,one in open dog and one in veteran!
Nikki

Oh I will have one in Open and Good citizen, one in Veteran and Open, and the third in veteran and Limit, the one that should have been in Junior and PG will stay home as she has come in season.

Hi,
Good Luck to everyone competeing, and have fun to all those watching. :-)
Going to be there Saturday, I can't get to sleep and I'm not even showing my girl, someone else is due to injured arm. :-(
P.S. Safe journey.

Im showing on friday. My girl peaches, this will be her 4th time but her son Jasper for the first time ever!!! My girl is just starting to lose her coat but wont be bald thank god! Had to seperate her from the others to hang on to it for a while because when they play fight they grab chunks of it!! Back again sunday with kids and hubby to shop and enjoy everything i dont see when im showing! good luck to you all, i had a good year last year but don't have any expectations this year! Hope you all have a great time!

March does not seem to be a good time for my dogs ever as have only ever won classes at Crufts in 2001 when they moved it due to Foot and Mouth.
