Crufts 2026 roll call

[druid]

Ringcraft for the spaniels Tuesday nights and for long pointy today - the Crufts effect is real, classes 3 times the size of normal!

 

[blackcob]

I am hoping mine remembers his job, as a newly minted veteran, and he'll also be lucky to get a groom. Can't polish a turd and all that

Still no trade stand list or DD info.

Anyone seen any show offers? Pawstrading have free gifts at each of their stands (for scanning a QR code and presumably signing up for marketing).

 

[druid]

DD fossedata isn't working for organisers it seems so no one can access to get passes allocated, hopefully resolved soon.

Back in the day when we were showing the GSDs they just got a quick brush over with a dandy brush.

Goughnuts have a free competition, via QR code to get a load of branded goodies, and a Goughnut of your choice.

No marketing will follow .

DD passes have now arrived and I’ve managed to send the links out to volunteers fairly seamlessly still waiting on car passes and BASC shiz….

Erik is absolutely thrilled to be back at ringcraft…

Did I see something somewhere about pink goughnuts? Or was that a hallucination?

 

[EllieBeast]

Grooming has also begun- Poor Erik has said goodbye to his topknot.
Had some fun with it first







And my personal favourite ‘Erik, the westlife era ’

Fen might get a rub with a towel if he gets dirty on the way in

Trade list is now live https://crufts.org.uk/crufts-the-show/trade-stands/

Yes, UK exclusive. Original pink rings, Original yellow rings, and Maxx pink rings!

I work in marketing, it would serve me right

Hopefully some left by gundog day then!

 

[MurphysMinder]

Looking at the trade stand list we need to do some strategic planning, and take bigger bags! Definitely going to have a look at goughnuts, wonder if they'd be good for a yellow ball destroyer !

 

[Britestar]

Hopefully some left by gundog day then!

I'm sure there will be.

Ahh Rafi might not be in the basc ring after all. He'd been a bit off colour (back to normal now!) and I was worried he'd eaten something he shouldn't and part of his investigations included shaving his tummy for an ultrasound, which is unlikely to grow back before crufts

 

[druid]

You can show with clipped hair if you still want to go - technically you shouldn't be marked down for it

That’s a shame. Scout was shaved early Jan and he’s still bald as a coot. (Looks like Leonardo de Caprio in THAT photo ).

 

[druid]

Passes are out on Fossedata

Oh that's good to know!

 

[druid]

It doesn't affect his confirmation or movement - you might get asked what happened by a judge but nothing more

 

[BallyRoanBaubles]

Are any of the class timings out anywhere?

 

[druid]

No, fossedata say BASC have to approve release....and BASC can't even manage to answer an email currently so......

3.5 hours
4 dogs groomed
2 sets of teeth brushed
Only 1 dog attempted a High dive off the table

Go on, who was the daredevil?

 

[druid]

Archer. Always the drama llama

 

[druid]

Times for BASC rings published. Yet again springers are clashing

 

[Britestar]

Should see you from the stand. We're facing that way.

The very frazzled small Irish person with a lot of black and white spaniels will be me...plus a pointy and Show bred springer.

Hoping to make it over to do some shopping for Pointy!

 

[satinbaze]

Well that a shame, Suri has come into season so will have to stay at home. I’ll still go for a day of shopping and spectating. Her sister owned by my friend has also come into season so will stay at home too.

Want to handle a spanner? At this rate I'm going to need to clone everyone to have enough hands!
