    Anyone going??

    I went several years back and had an amazing time!

    I'd love to go again but being the only doggy person about and can't drive it somewhat limits me!

    Whos going? Know anyone competing?

    What breed are you rooting for?

    When is it?
    I seem to remember my brother in law might be taking part in the obedience section.
    Not really sure though, I'll have to ask.
    They, my sister and her husband, are pretty keen on dog training, they have two german sheperds and a retriever, he,s the current dog.
    One of the GSDs is getting on a bit now and the other is still young.

    Crufts it at the NEC, Birmingham. 6th ââ?¬â?? 9th March The show is open from 8.15 to 19.30 each day.
    My daughter is Dog mad and she goes, ( she has a Spinger Spaniel).

    It'a about a 15 min drive from her house.

    She loves the Dog show but hates the traffic when she is getting to and from work when it's on. :D

    Lovely dog!

    I like to watch it on the television every year. I always like to see the Pembroke corgis. I grew up with my grandmother's dogs Rufus (a red who died when I was 6) and Rex (a tricolour who died when I was 17). And my mum has a red called Teddy, who just celebrated his 12th birthday!

    :( Sorry Gogs, kinda gave up watching Crufts a while a go. Beautifil dog & all that, but they look soo un-natural when you see them all fluffed up like that..! :(

    Yes I'm afraid I agree with Marley on this one, I cant see how making a dog look that rediculous can win prizes.
