The winning run was phenomenal. Her line heading towards the tunnel for the second time, with a sort of double blind, was genius.

Unbelievable that the judge pulled all three poodles for the utility group. Stupid, IMO. Clearly a poodle fan. :rolleyes3:

I wish the vet would, er, go and do some vetty things.

I've delayed watching by half an hour so I can fast forward past his smug face.

Haha, I was calling him Super Smug Vet today!
Great day there today but soooo busy! Left fairly early as we couldn't get in to the main arena and we were shopped out! I somehow managed to spend nearly £90 on treats, chewy things and a tug toy, eeep! Did stick to my list though and got some bargains!

Zoomy forward time is also reserved for skipping past heelwork to music, sorry to any fans of it, I just can't. 
I've just seen a video of the queue for the arena today, I'm meant to be meeting friends there tomorrow to watch the champ agility, might have to give it a miss if it's like that again. More shopping time it is!

I really fancy a standard cream or apricot poodle in the future, but that was ridiculous! Bring out the keesie or the spitzes!!

It was an amazing run! I think I am doing well if one blind works as I intended , and as for remembering a course like that .....

Quick, more shopping before anything else can kick off.
Bargain piece of vetbed, Butchers freebies, 1kg of chicken feet, enough treat biscuits to make two plump Siberians and a lead and collar for a dog that hasn't even been conceived yet.

I do love a whippet but have cats and been advised they are no good with small furries! On a different note- I’d love to know if show dogs have a nice life outside of the ring- some of the breeds look so groomed and fluffed I cant imagine they are allowed a good walk through the countryside, running through muddy puddles and so on! Anyone care to update me?
Think I’d like the border collie to win.

Some whippets will be lovely with small furries - it very much depends on the individual dog? If you wanted to find a cat-safe whippet you definitely would
As far as the life of show dogs, some absolutely have a natural lifestyle and some have a very VERY artificial lifestyle... it very much depends on the owner sadly

I like the collie and the pointer

Can't speak for all show dogs but - my mum's cocker has been to Crufts twice previously. Show cockers are primped and groomed and trimmed to within an inch of their lives. The following day he was turfed out in the paddock to roll in crap and wallow in the stream, as he has every day before and since. As Lev says it very much depends.
I'm gonna go for the newfie, there's something I really like about her, can't quite put my finger on it.

I like the Newfie, at least she is cheerful. Also the Papillon and the pointer.

Tried to rewind it but the digibox wotsit is playing up. And yes fair play to her, she grabbed the dog pronto, someone swiftly grabbed the trophy also.

Wtf? People and dogs everywhere and my box is refusing to rewind. Poor reserve handler didn't get an interview. Anyone know anything?
