Just thought I start a who's going thread.
I'll be there on Saturday with Lily and Tiva showing and then going to watch the obedience on Sunday. For the very first time there is a flatcoated in the championships, we are all very excited for Caroline and Tangle.
If anyone is coming on the Saturday then please pop in on hall 4 to say hi to the Flatcoats. In the catalogue the girls are listed as Satinbaze Water Lily BegEx and Blacktoft Quickstep of Satinbaze
 
Not my favourite place! Too crowded and hate seeing the often overweight and often almost deformed examples of breeds such as bulldog and German shepherds.
 
i went last year to see agility and the shopping,i enjoyed it but i boiled up in the car on the way home and was really ill for weeks after with a chest infection. i remember reading at the time that i was not the only one who suffered this.
must say it has put me off going this year :(
 
I'll be there on Saturday with the cockerdog, he's got one last day of bog snorkelling before the great bathing process begins. :p

Will be avidly watching at home on Friday as my agility instructor is in the team final as always and I spend all year chasing the ABC qualifiers so love to watch the final. Maybe one day!
 
I'm going on Saturday for me first time ever. I am SO excited :biggrin3: :biggrin3:

I'm not competing but am lucky enough to be taking Lacey with me so of course, to celebrate the occasion, I made her a new collar :biggrin3:

I haven't been in over ten years but used to enjoy the atmosphere, the working dog displays (esp the police dog displays), Discover Dogs and of course the multitude of stands selling everything you could possibly ever want for your dog. I rarely watched the showing itself.

I will just watch it on TV instead.
 
I am here! In the Premier Inn ready to go tomorrow. It's my Christmas present. Haven't been since it moved to Birmingham.
Sadly we couldn't do Saturday Gundogs day for the flatcoats but will enjoy the whippets.

Thank you for that. I only live a mile, as the crow flies, from London's third biggest airport yet we cannot get workable broadband either. TV it will be, although I don't like a lot of the showing. The flatcoats are OK, at least they look like dogs and don't have to be strangled to trot up. The labs are so fat they can barely wobble, that does it for me.
Nothing more needs saying about the GSD, poor blighters.
 
Why are they advertising French bulldogs? I know they are now discussing the health issues but couldn't they have shown someone who has a normal healthy breed?
 
Yes I admit they did talk at length about them, but you would now think that a KC reg one will be able to breathe. 50% can't at that test place, that is a scary figure when you think only a lucky few go there for surgery.
 
Just because something is KC reg does not mean it is healthily bred unfortunately, and despite what they were saying that even applies to some Assured Breeers.
 
I was just pleased that having brought it up intermittently for the last half hour/hour that they did discuss the issues with them further.

I guess we know what all the other presenters have breed wise so it had to come up.

I was most amused by the suggestion that if you were thinking of a labrador consider an irish setter :)
 
I loved the greyhound's colour. Fawn? The Ibezan hound was smart. At least the otter hound looked happy!
