Hi everybody
you all seem a very knowledgeable lot - so my question to you is - do you know when the schedules for entering dogs at the 2004 show is due out . I have heard mention it is in the immenent future but does anybody have an actual date > Also before I go , when are the tickets to the genereal public on sale ? And if you are entering your dog do you need to purchase a ticket for yourself if you have already entered your dog ? Quite a lot to ask - sorry but i would appreciate any replies

Hi Velma, i don't know a precise date, but the schedules are normally available form early November. Entries close the first week in January. If you are a first time Crufts exhibitor you will need to apply to the Kennel Club for a schedule, but if you were entered last year, you'll get one in the post automatically.

On the subject of tickets, you can get into the show by paying at the door on the day. You would only need a ticket if you wanted to have a seat for the special events, or for the group and best in show judging. If that's what you want, then look on the Kennel Club website for details. www.the-kennel-club.org.uk

When you enter a dog you'll get an exhibitors pass, so you dont need to pay again. However if somebody else is accompanying you you can either pay at the door, or ask for and pay for, additional passes when you send your entries in.

Hope this is of some help.
