What is the last show oportunity to qualify for crufts 2007.. And am i right in thinking you have to get a 1,2 or 3 at a Ch show to do this.?

Only certain classes at Championship Shows are qualifiers; in most breeds those are Minor Puppy, Puppy, Junior, Post Graduate, Limit, Open and Veteran. I think the last Champ Show is LKA, but there may be a couple of Premier Open Shows later where BIS (and BPIS?) qualifies too.

LKA is the last all breed champ show. (I think Boston is now the first isn't it?)

You could also qualify at a premier open show (Luton and Coventry Ladies) come to mind where certain breeds going BOB can qualify (breeds will be listed in scheduale).  Also any open shows up to the closing date BIS and BPIS qualify

I have 3 days to qualify my baby for crufts this year!  Somehow I doubt he'll be there! 

Not all breeds have CC's at LKA. Mine doesn't. :( In fact, we don't even have classes :( :( Midland Counties is our last Ch show where we can qualify.

so to qualify at a Ch or open show do CC's have to be on offer for that breed? (im new to this!)

CCs are only on offer at Champ shows, not Open shows.

:rolleyes: oh dear!  i feel so thick with all this there is so much to take in!

There is alot to take in and you always learn more.  After being in showing over 12 years seriously from a young age (6) I've learnt alot and still I am learning.  And when you younger it's ment to be easier to learn

Don't worry, we were all beginners once! ;) You never stop learning, and just when you think you've grasped it all, they change something!

At the champ show CC's have to be on offer (unless a rare breed that doesn't get CC's.)

At a premier open show the breed has to have 4 or more classes (5 or more if Stud Band E) so in other words the judge would have to come off the Judging B list.  Then the BOB winner can qualify.

CC's arn't awarded at open shows.  Only at Champ Shows :)

Im at midland counties on friday and im pooping my knickers with fright that i'll get it wrong and make a fool of myself:

Good luck!

Relax, enjoy yourself, and remember that you'll be taking the best dog home!

think i'll need it... talk about throwing myself in at the deep end.

Midland Counties is our last Ch show where we can qualify.

In mine it was..... DARLINGTON!!!!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Madness. NO chance to qualify any pups.
