otta hound does it for me :)

astarte i feel so sorry for you hun looking very good ..ill try and post i dont want to miss xx

basset griffon lovely too

lol let me know when you get a chance :) at least fill me in after pleasy?

Basenji looking good, and moved well.

The "hairy" bassets are certainly less exaggerated that the nudey.

Also PBGV, who will be retiring after today.

I want a Petit BGV LOL ...

Does anyone know how much the On Demand catch up service is? Will look when Group finished, I'm just being lazy at the moment.

M.

Ooh, I just missed hearing who owner the bloodhound - anyone know?

Think that one might be too expensive for either of us ;-)  She's a real beauty.

Sorry - don't know how much the OD is.

Let's see how starved the dachsies are ...

Not Sam, LOL.

CH TRAILFINDER FORTITUDE (AI)
Dog
Owner:  MR D & MRS H POWELL

Powell's  Trailfinder Fortitude

> Think that one might be too expensive for either of us

They said she's retiring Vanhalla, maybe she'd like to retire to my front room LOL.

M.

> Not Sam, LOL

booo!

The Powells from Exeter - the affix is Trailfinder.

Aah, daily access £1.99, £9.99 for a month's access. £1.99 to catch up when I've been on Sunday will do me fine.

M.

Don't mention the weighing, Peter! :-D

That standard smooth dachsie was very tired and unenthusiastic.

isabel lol lol

Think a fair few tired and unenthusiastic so far. The Afghan didn't have that fantastic movement that makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

Clearly I'm biased, but PBGV my pick so far.

M.

I liked all the hairy bassets

Hey Frank!  No knocking the Spitz breeds! :-)

This is much better than BBC coverage.  Chatting here, through the whole group, is like sitting ringside :-)

I'm enjoying it.  It's so lovely to see ALL the breeds.

its great :):):)

....except I haven't cooked supper yet!

This is exactly the sort of coverage I've been asking the BBC for, year after year after year. Good old KC, getting it right first time!

>....except I haven't cooked supper yet!

Nor me! There'll be complaints to the management!

lol ive done nothing ALL DAY and i havnt eaten yet lol TAKE OUT  tonight lol

> Good old KC, getting it right forst time!

It's not enough though.  If we could only have had all the Best of Breeds even if not in real time.

oooooo i wnat a otter hound plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz !!

I love the wolfhound!  Nelle moved well too ;-) (biased of course)

The Otterhound looks rather CLEAN :-D

nelle did look good and moved well

Ooooohh! That's my neighbour's Otterhound! :-D

Podengo!

I rather like the Pharaoh.

really?? how lovely :)

tell her i want 1 plz jeangenie ;)

Just wanted to add, loved the Otterhound, but wonder why handler was wearing trainers and had his shirt undone, thought the handler let the dog down there.

I remember the pharaoh hound from Sweden - impressive mover.  RR has brought its fan club!

suejaw i didnt see i couldnt take my eyes off the dog ;)

> I rather like the Pharaoh.

So do I.  I don't mean to be rude but I have seen one of those Podengos on street corners all my life.

I don't 'get' the Podengos either.

M.

Now another handler with gold trainers on.. Sorry but if you wear part smart continue it on through, BUT trainers that are casual at Crufts?? Is it me or should we all be trying our best to look smart and clean cut?

No I don't get them either, won't say why, but when I saw them in Portugal a number of years ago they looked very different to the ones here in the UK!
