Crufts

[CorvusCorax]

Well done EK and TP

 

[Laafet]

Well done everyone who went - I am stuck between the flat coat, GSD (yes I am a convert) and naturally the Poodle for BIS.

 

[Spudlet]

For me, it's got to be the flat coat (gundog you see, as well as being gorgeous to boot) with the GSD as a close second choice because he looks such an athletic dog

 

[kirstyhen]

Flat Coat Flat Coat Flat Coat!!! With the GSD second. Both beautiful dogs, that looked so happy to be in the ring,

 

[CorvusCorax]

Elmoooooooooooooooooooo

I have to live vicariously through you guys...

 

[RuthnMeg]

Flat coat for me too. Possibly the poodle for reserve.

 

[kirstyhen]

Anyone else in tears over the Soldier and his dog??

 

[Spudlet]

Every time I see anything about that story I'm off again

 

[kirstyhen]

And now all the Friends for life stories, I'm a blubbering wreck

 

[CorvusCorax]

I'm drowning!!!!!

 

[Spudlet]

Come on Bob and Jake (although they are all amazing dogs)

 

[kirstyhen]

I want Grace and Merlin to win, purely on the basis that he is an Otto look-a-likey!

 

[Spudlet]

Bless him, not a camera fan

 

[MurphysMinder]

Yep soldier and dog set me off. Needless to say my vote is for Elmo, like either the flatcoat or boxer for second.

 

[kirstyhen]

Nope! And Otto would have done the exact same thing! Windy little creatures

Glad Joanne and Kaiser won, think they were the most deserving realistically.

 

[MurphysMinder]

Bless him, not a camera fan

I bet we could all see that was about to happen, obv the camera man not a dog person.

 

[CorvusCorax]

Keep me posted pleeeeeease....can't do two online streaming jobbies at once and we only have five channels at Mucksavage Towers

 

[Dobiegirl]

So pleased Grace & Kaiser won this poor lady was so isolated before and people taking the mick, that dog has turned her life around.

Its got to be the GSD for me I think he is a cracker and the retriever for reserve.

 

[MurphysMinder]

The programme after Crufts could be interesting "How to buy a puppy". Has the potential to be good, or alternatively very bad for my blood pressure.

 

[Spudlet]

All fantastic dogs, how could you pick a winner really?

 

[MurphysMinder]

Aren't you watching it online CC?

 

[kirstyhen]

Wasn't it on after last year's Crufts? If it was, then yes, very much a shouty at the TV program!

OH has just said he wants Elmo to win

 

[CorvusCorax]

.....aaaaand...Elmo...please!!!!

MM, can't as Mum is downloading stuff and it is too annoying

 

[Spudlet]

Sod that, the final episode of Being Human is on BBC3 after this

Here come the finalists, once Mike Tucker*(?) finishes blathering on that is...

*If it's not Mike Tucker, I think it's his soundalike

 

[MurphysMinder]

And those 3 weren't particularly fit for function.

 

[MurphysMinder]

For CC, Elmo is looking good, just came in gaiting to heel, nice one Stevie!

 

[CorvusCorax]

I know....would be nice to bring the whole thing full circle, eh!

 

[kirstyhen]

Come on Eric (possibly the cutest name for a Bichon Frise ever!)

 

[kirstyhen]

Oh no CC, Elmo's back legs just fell off...

 

[Spudlet]

Elmo doesn't seem to be stacked in the same way I have seen GSDs being done in the past? Seems to be being posed with less angulation at the back?
