There's going to be a PROPER Cocker at Crufts this year!

[kirstyhen]

My Mum has her little Worker entered in the Gamekeeper's ring (and the big curly wotsit, but the less said about him the better!)

So pinkies crossed he shows them poncy Spangles up please

How can they resist this little munchkin!!??

Oh, and can we also have plenty of fingers crossed that her hip replacement operation doesn't impact on her getting there!

 

[Spudlet]

ooooooh exciting or what???????

 

[Cliqmo]

Yey! Congratulations, and best of luck...and what a gooorgeous cocker

Very excited, although slightly terrifying as if she can't rope the IWS's breeder in to show him, or if she is out of action with her hip, I kindly offered to step in.... What was I thinking!!!????

He is the best dog in the whole world, he really is! He is absolutely gorgeous, has the most fantastic nature and is perfectly behaved to boot!

What witchcraft is this Hen?!

Spangles come in a variety of styles (Deranged/Especially Deranged/Spangle Deranged etc etc) but I've never heard of this "perfectly behaved" malarky!

Maybe my judgement is clouded after this morning's antics - madam had a spat with a squirrel. Squirrel won!

Best of luck to your mum and the munchkin, he does look super!

 

[kirstyhen]

God knows, even my Mum doesn't take credit for his angelic-ness, he was just born a freak of nature!

 

[_April_]

Aww. Beautiful.

He gets my vote, I love proper working cockers

Our old one was also the best, most handsome and lovely behaved dog in the world lol, RIP Midge!

 

[kirstyhen]

We had a Midge too! Although he was a Springer. He was lovely and we always joke that Roo (the cocker) is Midge re-incarnated

 

[CorvusCorax]

Crufts?! What is this thing you speak of?

Only joking - go gettem', tiger!

 

[FinnishLapphund]

Go knock them out in the Gamekeeper's ring, Go, Go, GO!

Ohhh, does this mean he could get ribbons and rosettes?

Fingers crossed for your mothers hip.

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Fingers crossed for Mummy Henmeisters hip so she doesn't have to miss the big day!!

He is bound to win

- if only because he is that rare and unique well behaved spangle...........

 

[Patches]

Good luck.

I will hide Harvey away....he's a poncy spangle.

 

[MurphysMinder]

Yay, go Hens mum and show them all how to do it. I hope she manages to get there okay, although I can't imagine Crufts is the best place to be when you are either in need of a hip op or just after one

.
Is it just me that thinks the adverts for "DFS Crufts" look really strange, do you think they will start doing special furniture for dogs (rather than the dogs taking over ours).

 

[kirstyhen]

She has done a season Beating and Picking up on it (and has done a season in the past with her ankle in a pot!), she's a tough old bird, my Mum

Haven't seen the Adverts, but why on earth are DFS sponsoring it, like you say are they going to go into the Dog Furniture business!??

Only by birth, he's going to be a proper Spangle once you go out beating with him..

 

[GinaB]

At last we'll get to see a proper dog there! Go on yer mum! Fingers crossed for her hip replacement too.

I always hate seeing the gundog class

Not one of the dogs entered could do a days work!

 

[kirstyhen]

Hmmm, the Gamekeepers class isn't much better!

You're supposed to have a certificate signed by a Gamekeeper stating that your dog has worked all season at their shoot, but as far as I can tell a lot of showing people get it signed sneakily and do a bit of pot hunting!

But Roo is going to show them all up... actually i think it's more likely he will lie down and go to sleep!

 

[Spudlet]

Go Roo, go Roo, go Roo

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Will Roo have to have a special bath and everything or is he going au naturel??

 

[kirstyhen]

He'll have to be at least clean, which is about as unnatural as you can get for a Spangley!

 

[Vizslak]

Yay thats great! I look forward to seeing him there

And to all you buggers that said about a proper dog being at crufts......humph

Flora said she most definatley is a proper dog too, so there!
