Crufts does an incredible job with footage on their YouTube channel. All the classes of everything will be there to watch back. I’m an agility person so enjoy watching that but I think the flyball is even better. So exciting!

On my ‘rest day’ I cast the YouTube live feed from the main arena on the TV. The edited evening TV coverage of the agility is always crap.

YouTube coverage is great...its also the only way to see the Gamekeeper's Final as chanel 4 avoid the whole working gundog thing usually
Groomed the worst offender (aka the oh's wooly pig) yesterday....1.5 hours later and he still needs nails and teeth done but we'd both lost the will to live so that's today's job.

Just helping out show sec try to fill in some last minute (botches in season etc) gaps in our breeds DD schedule. It’s really hard to man it in such a small breed!

The DD passes seem to be very late this year also - lots saying they've not arrived with co-ordinators to send on to volunteers yet!

Our sec has just received ours today! Apparently there was an issue with the NEC?
druid
Well-Known Member
Yes, something to do with the wrong codes. Cutting it fine for them to be sent out to volunteers!

Yep! Agreed. A LOT of people. I found it overwhelming at times

Is it generally quite warm at Crufts? Not indoor school in winter kind of temperature? I have been before but years back and cannot remember!

It's not just DD, our tickets for the Therapy Dog stand have arrived too late to post to people so the committee members are having to meet everyone outside the NEC with their tickets on the day

Yeah it's generally comfortable without a coat. I normally still need a few layers but I'm nesh.

Our BASC ones are the same (for the team dogs)....luckily they were able to divert them to a UK friend or they'd never make it in time to Ireland!

Sorry, I missed this! We aren't there on Friday - that's Utility and Toy day. I'm not sure if any HHOers are showing that day?
ETA - I forgot the Schipperke is utility!!

@druid can you recall how long before the show we get the order of judging? I’m really hoping we’re not last on but we always are so am not holding out much hope 
My plan was to prioritise the BASC team class but, having seen Erik’s breeder on Sunday she may never forgive me. I definitely won’t let the team down though. Team gilets should be arriving today so it looks like we know what we’re doing

Gamekeeper's has been out for a while! It's on the Fossedata Crufts page under downloads. Or this is the simplified version.
ETA: Or did you mean breed? GLPs are 3rd breed in Ring 16, Hall 4.

Yes, you kindly shared the gamekeepers the other day
Thankyou! We’re in our usual, last in ring position then

Unfortunately until they gain CC status they will always be last as CC breeds get preference at Crufts!

I don't help myself by referring to them in the agility thread as large dog and small dog, they are a GSD and schipperke respectively. But yes we will be one of the 48 small angry sharky dogs with visible bumholes present.

With our entries down this year and so few litters I can’t see that happening any time soon
