are up on fossedata

Very poor!
Fuel prices really starting to bite I think.

Not in my breed..231 making 301 entries!!!

Are passes out yet.

> Are passes out yet.

Bit early, only had Bath this week...I expect they will come in the next week 10 days

I emailed to check my entry had been received and (I think!) was told passes will start to go out on Monday, 2nd class.

There is only 19 dogs in our breed going!

Only low 50 in ours but hardly surprising seeing as the judge only ever gives tickets to something by or out of one of her own!  Low number for our breed, should be closer to 80+.   40 or more of the entries will all be of the judges line.

19 in my first breed but we don't have tickets at this show, but 176 making an entry of 212 in my second breed!

Still over 200 for Boxers, second largest entry in the show, only beaten by the Goldies...
But we have a overseas judge judging our breed so I guess many have taken the gamble :)

Southern Counties has a long history of inviting lots of overseas judges and in some breeds it will show in the numbers, we dont.

We had an overseas judge last year and the entry numbers were double that of this with the judge this year who only ever puts up her own dogs.

You may get a big entry but you often dont get a critique - my wins at S Cos never got written up by the Scandinavian judge.

96 making 116 for my breed, about right at the moment.

We are still waiting for critiques for our breed from Crufts 2007; 2005 & 2007 from another judge (VERY well known judge); and around 5 other critiques in the past 3 years all from UK judges.  You may have been unlucky as the Scandinavian judges are usually very particular on their critiques.

No critique from Crufts now Id be a little peeved as the entry is quite a lot and you spend ages getting ready for the show, even if its a small critique its still nice to have one.

the link won't open for me on FD, can someone tell me how many rotts are entered please?

Rotties 118 making an entry of 143

my passes came today.

My did too. I haven't been there for a few years and I am wondering how the new layout will affect people finding their benches etc? and how it will work. It will be interesting to see if it improves anything.

got mine today. 

We have 20 dogs entered without CC's, good considering Bath has 30 with CC's just days earlier.
