Crufts

Recommended Posts

Anyone off to Crufts this year? We are going on the sunday and have never been before. We watch every year and say we will book tickets and this year we actually have! Anyone got any tips to make the most out the day?

 

Also our chickens arrived today! (2 warrens and 2 black rocks) Still all need names though

Terrier & Hound Day - the best in MHO (I own EBTs so i would say that!) :lol:

 

Visit the crufts website for whats on on the day you will be going as it will give a run down on what is on in the arenas.

 

Its a doggy paradise for shopping and the prices are very good too 8)

My father will be going - he shows some of the Bull dogs he breeds. I've never been though. Have a good time! :D

 

Ooh...you'll have to tell us if he is going to be on.

 

They've never shown the Bull dogs on TV. They're supposed to be our national dog aren't they? but they're never shown. He usually comes away with at least one prize but moans that the judges are usually quite partial towards certain breeders. :(

I'm going on Thursday to see the Toy dogs or more specifically Chinese Cresteds. Until I got pregnant with DD2 I was showing mine. I have exhibited and won classes at Crufts. It will be the first year that I have gone without dogs but it will give me an opportunity to have a good look around. I totally agree with taking food. The food is both expensive and poor quality.

To be honest I object to bonniest baby competitions after all don't all parents think their baby is the cutest? At least with the dogs they are judged to a standard (well at least they are supposed to be :evil: ). There are plenty of dogs that are beautiful but for whatever reason aren't close to the breed standard.

Am I the only one who doesnt like crufts. Its very elitist and makes me think of isms in the dog world. I much prefer the idea of scrufts.

 

You are not alone Bron :) I really don't like big dog shows. I find it upsetting to see the dogs brushed and shampood within an inch of their little lives having to behave in a very undoggie way :( I think dogs should either be

sleeping or rushing around sniffing other dog's bums and getting all muddy :roll: There is a film called 'Best In Show' directed by Christopher Guest, which is a hilarious look at behind the scenes in a spoof 'Crufts' type show :)
