I have a litter of pups that will be 3 weeks old when Crufts starts.

I'm in a dilemma, do I go to Crufts or not?

I have a puppy sitter so all ok there, but with so many dogs in one place is it a wise move, could we carry any illness back home with us?

I'm not taking any dogs with me but I have a lot of shopping to do.

I did a couple of years ago. We had a change of clothes (and shoes) ready to change into before we went in the house. And thoroughly washed hands before going near our puppies.

Yes, I thought we could maybe go and change clothes etc before we went in to the pups.

I'm torn, I want to go but also keep pups as safe as possible.

I do the same as Claire, have clothes ready upstairs and different shoes go and have a wash etc. and then get changed.

I personally would feel happy with change of clothes/having shower/wash shoes etc.

I have done the same as other posters. Change and wash before going into the pups. I also have a very safe spray that I spray over the coats of the dogs that have been with me. (Safe4pets)

I will have a 4 week old litter then and am going to do the same as everyone else has suggested.

ive desided not to go my litter will be 6weeks old and that age is worring cus of antibodys starting to leave pups will have to spend double next year lol

I will NEVER go to a show with pups due or already in my home! Did that a couple of years ago and brought back Kennel Cough!! By separating the adults from the pups we managed to slow down the infection spreading to the pups BUT I will never again attend a show whilst having a litter. JMHO - not worth the danger to the poor little babies (they did get KC and were thankfully OK in the end!)...
Something I have put down to experience...

I'm sure you have put a lot of time and effort into your litter. Why take a chance of bringing back a life-threatening disease for those puppies. Keep the pennies and go next year. It will still be there!

I personally wouldn't risk it.
