theherd123 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Ok so who's watching? Which bits do you like the best? Flyball? Agility? Breed ring footage? Heelwork to music? Me? I love it all!! Having shown my little Teddy a few times at Crufts it brings back so many good memories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I do like watching it , but please please please can we have a "normal" looking dog win for a change ,....just a plain old normal dog....nothing with fancy fur or hairdo's or one that cant see or has a topiary tail. Im watching American Idol at the moment - that takes priority! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janty Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I like it when a working dog wins as I used to have Border Collies. I can't stand the rat like creatures that pass for dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I can't be doing with anything with a ribbon in its hair or with shimmering locks that have to be combed every fifteen minutes......or dribbly dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 We're going to crufts today! Even though we are not currently dog owners, we have been in the past. We both adore dogs. Today is the gundog day, so hubby will be happy. Looking forward to my first crufts visit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 We'll watch the Gundogs, Working dogs and Agility.............on TV yesterday they were highlighting that people who show dogs didn't want the likes of Dancing with Dogs to be part of Crufts! .....I'd rather see that any day than all the primped and pampered pooches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I'd like to enter my dog for "best looking mongrel" category please . What a lovely photo ANH.

Egluntyne Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 He is a handsome devil. Give me a dog like that any day over a primped and preened handbag pooch. What is his name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feemcg Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I think ANH's pic might be Arthur's Seat/Salisbury Crags in Edinburgh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Thank you, we rather like him . He's a fantastic dog, friendly, biddable, easygoing and no trouble at all! (And he doesn't slobber!) Keep guessing on the location - you're way out . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 My father showed a couple of dogs yesterday - Bull Dogs on at about 8:30am! He didn't come anywhere significant this year though. But the dogs behaved themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Was he on the telly Ginette? Were you there too? I haven't watched Crufts for years but I'm with most of you, I like the dogs that look like real dogs and behave like real dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 They never show the bull dogs on TV! And no, I didn't go. I'm not sure I'd enjoy it - and I certainly wouldn't enjoy being in Birmingham well before 8:30am! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Grrrr, you got it . It's on Blencathra in the Lakes . (Photo taken by my (then) 12 year old.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yipeeee! not many mountainous places in the UK to choose from...so it had to be one! He looks such a "smiley" dog, I love dogs like that.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 What is his name? Just noticed your question . He's called Riley (named by the Cat & Dog Home before we got him so no idea why but it suits him ) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 It does suit him. He'll be living the life of Riley with you of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was last at Crufts I saw Bull Dogs and could not believe how big some of them get What a shame, maybe next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
