Crufts

Been today with my mums pooch. (Mini wire dachshund) awesome day, puppy did very well (only hers and mums 3rd ever show!!) didn't get a place but had a very nice day out!
BUT have now been stuck in traffic jam for two hours.
...and have only moved 1 metre....!!!!!!!!!!!! So get out of there early!!!!!!!!
 
OMG what time did you leave Amy_B? I have made my mum promise she will be finished by 2.30pm tomorrow so I can get out before the traffic :p
 
Im there tomirrow supporting my mum who is showing her boy, also gonna be checking out all my favourite breeds and watching copious amounts of agility
 
I was there today, helping raise funds for Stafford Welfare and now am utterly shattered! Watched the East Anglican SBT agility team and then temptation alley..We were actually in the car and away at 5.15 and took just over 3 1/4 hours for me to get back to Surrey. Thank heavens for a nice friend who drove all the way there and back. We took 2 of my friends rescue staffords up and one was wearing the Battersea "Staffies are softer than you think" rug..
 
Pickle ash I am sorry to disappoint you but if are taking a show dog then you cannot leave before 4pm. Went today with Scottie friends stayed for the group so no traffic on leaving. Will be there Saturday with the flatcoats. Willing good vibes requested for lily to do her best
 
One of our girls got Best Of Breed in Mini bull terriers...Badlesmere Bookend of Quayardson,our Esther ..Badlesmere Bellarmine got the Reserve CC to her.Long day,all the girls did their stuff and everyone either second or third apart from these two.Magrat will be on the Telly and I have been told I get a ment as her breeder,bestest friends with the girls who treaure her too.:D
 
We were there today, both girls won their classes, Alice also got a 3rd in her other class. Maya came home with yet another bed (has got a new bed at Crufts each time she's been!!), she picked it out on the trade stand, hopped in it and went to sleep, refusing to get out of it. Had no choice but to buy it. ITs a hideous thing, I cant even bear to post a photo its that bad (Leopard print...!!!!! :eek: ) but she loves it and hasnt got out of it since we came home!!!

Anyway, back to the NEC on Saturday with the girls on the basenji breed stand. Anyone who's planning to go please come and say hello to Maya and Alice. We'll be on there mid morning after we've shown Megan, the labrador, in her Veteran bitch class.

Hope everyone has/had a lovely visit to Crufts.

Jilly to winn Best In Show methinks.... ;)
 
Congratulations EK and UnaB, great results, and good luck to everyone who is going over the next 3 days.
Satinbaze, Picklenash's mum isn't showing, she is there in a more official capacity.;)
 
The large novice ABC jumping is on the live feed today for anyone interested - scroll right back to the start and it's the first class of the day. Medium ABC (not novice) jumping to follow, then I think the agility is later this afternoon for both. :)

Congrats to everyone so far, be sure to let us know if you pop up on TV! :p

Satinblaze, my mum was judging today not showing :)

I am SO proud of her, I actually had a great day and really enjoyed myself, although she did take until 3pm to finish her mammoth entry (having started at 8.30am!) so I got stuck in traffic on the way out :o

Great to see her BOB winner in the group acquitting himself very nicely tonight :)
 
Have just realised that the pug in the toy group was bred and shown by a girl I used to be very best mates with back at school - her mum was into staffies back then, I knew she'd got into pugs from the odd picture on FB but no idea she was doing so well. Very odd to see her on TV after all this time! :)
 
I'm going on Sunday, anyone else? YO is showing her vizslas tomorrow, I did want to go for the two days but stupid OH has football - gah!
 
We are going tomorrow to see the gundogs I love gundogs have always had one or two. Have a working bred lab now so no showing only ones we have shown are not gundogs as they were Newfoundlands which I also adore
