Dog Vegas anyone going?
« on: October 09, 2008, 08:34:29 PM »
I'm so excited, I've just entered Ben for Dog Vegas - been wanting to go for a couple of years, but not been brave enough...but this time I'm biting the bullet and going for it.

Watch out Grantham here we come  :005:

Yes we'll be there  :D this will be our 1st indoor show as we only started competing a few months ago & really looking forward to it as we wouldn't have had a show for ages :D
I have been told it can be quite cold at these indoor shows so I'll be well wrapped up with my hands around hot chocolate  :shades:
Hope to see you there

We're going to the same venue a few weeks later too for the BAA/EMDAC one  ;)

Its a dog agility show I believe up North (well North to South Wales anyway!)

The organisers named it as such as when they started out you could win money in some of the classes - quite groundbreaking for agility where money has not been a prize before.

Not sure if they still do these finals / classes but the name has just stuck.

Not sure anything else about it such as where etc as a bit too far up for us!!

I never really thought of where the name came from  ph34r
Off to look at the schedule now to see if we're playing for money,  :005: if so, then Max can buy his own tin of pilchards  ;)

Yup its time Ben started earning his keep  :005:  I've been told that there is a whopping £12 for 1st place wins!

I have been told it can be quite cold at these indoor shows so I'll be well wrapped up with my hands around hot chocolate  :shades:


We have only ever been to one other winter show and it was freezing, I'll be fighting you for the hot chocolate!

If Ben is an  :angel: then hope to see you there
If he is a  >:D then I'm keeping a low profile and will probably change my name!
