Thanks Jane
oooo Ben Fogle indeed, I like watching him on Animal Park!! Whats happened the the little guy from Top Gear I love so much, that co presents??
I need to get sky plus so I don't miss Saturdays and Sundays programmes as I will be in Brum at Crufts then, Ooooooo I can't wait! xxxxxxx
-
I'm not sure if Richard Hammond will be there or not - hasn't he got a chat show in the afternoons now so maybe he is too "big" a star for Crufts now. I'm taller than he is - found that out when I stood next to him last year by one of the rings :laugh:
Jane
-
ha ha ha Jane I stood near him too when he was interviewing people, I was only walking past, he really is a titch!!! I kind of like him doing Crufts though! Well actually as he short as he is, i think he is quite yummy!!! Its always god to have eye candy!!! :laugh: :laugh: even at a serious event!
-
I love Richard Hammond apart from the fact he's cute - I like his style etc. Ben Fogle is great. He seems such a lovely person - and just happens to be utterly gorgeous too :laugh:
Thanks for the info Jane ;)
-
I think Ben Fogle will do a good job, did anyone else see the programmes on him & James Cracknell rowing the Atalantic........fantastic stuff.
-
I must be the only one, who's not too keen on Ben Fogle :laugh: ...think I’ve watched too many of his mid day telly programmes at work ::) Looking forward to it all the same tho :blink:
-
i'm with nikki
i much prefer "rich the titch' hammond...... over fogle ph34r
(sad that i am i'm writing the times in my diary as i am useless at remembering things!!!)
-
Ben Fogle :o
Spose clare is busy with the Olympics ::)
Guess I should reserve judgement.....I really like Clare's down to earth commentry though :blink:
-

Yes I saw most of it Michele, it was excellent. I've always liked Ben Fogle so I think it's a must that I go to Crufts on the Saturday if I can't make the Sunday now B) Shame he won't have his rowing partner with him...phwoar, James Cracknell was pleasant viewing too :laugh: :luv:
-
The programme with Ben and James was fantastic - such a brave thing to do with not alot of prep. Still think Richie would be better for crufts too but I'll have to wait and see what the coverage is like.
Thanks for th info on the TV coverage. I'll have to set the video though as we are on holiday unitl the 10th! Somewhere warmer than here though!!
-
Shame he won't have his rowing partner with him...phwoar, James Cracknell was pleasant viewing too :laugh: :luv:
You like a 'bit of posh' do you Mary ph34r :laugh:
-

Yes I saw that too, was fabulous B)
Ben Fogle :luv: :luv: Hmmmm, lovely chap, wasn't going to go to Crufts, but seeing Ben in the flesh may have just swung me round ^_^,
-
All the times I have been to crufts I have never seen a celebrity :'(
I must be doing something wrong. :huh:
Would love to see Richard in the flesh, bet he is really cute :luv: ben fogle will do though.
If anyone knows how to star spot give me some hints pleeeease ::)
-
All the times I have been to crufts I have never seen a celebrity :'(
I nearly always see them, usually when not exprecting it. I remember going to Crufts years ago in the days when it was held at Earls Court and saw Barbara Woodhouse ph34r Can't say that's something I boast about though :-\
-
Thanks for the times Jane.
I'm looking forward to watching it.
I like Ben Fogle too!! :luv:
-
Ben Fogle is great. He seems such a lovely person - and just happens to be utterly gorgeous too :laugh:
I agree - I fell for him when he was a Castaway - I am so pleased his potential was seen and he now has a career in TV. Some of his dads books/articles are good too ;)
I will be glued to Crufts on TV - perhaps I can convince my daughter to watch with me; that will be the last straw for OH, I think :laugh:
-
Thanks for them Jane :blink:
We shall be watchin :-\ well i will try to watch it when i can get all the dogs out of the way of the screen.
We have a famous person on COL ^_^ *nik* will be in the background of an interview il be looking out for you nikki ^_^
-

Lou the trick is to head in the direction of the cameras! :lol: Was my first time last year and i saw loads of people! :
-
Don't forget to look out for Tilly and Emily in the Friends for Life parade which is being broadcast by the BBC just before BIS on Sunday. There are 50 in the parade, so don't blink or you'll miss them :lol: Tilly is a litlle black cocker and Emily is a little girl (10) with long blonde hair.
Sue and Tilly

I see it mentions in todays Dog World that Ben Fogle owns a labrador and has bred a litter. I wonder if he got his Dad to help with the whelping :005: That in itself should give him fairly good grounding, better than Phillipa (lets go look at the cutesy wootsy doggie woggies) Forrester >:(
-
Hmmmm Ben Fogle :luv: Was going to watch anyway but now there's another incentive. Note to self: make sure the DVD recorder is set to record all the programmes
-

Inca was as big a star on Taransay as the 2 legged participants imo - he took her with him as his luxury item ;) and I can't think of a better place to raise and train a pup :luv:
-
Thanks for the times Jane. My OH dreads Crufts cos me and my daughter are glued to the telly :005:
I said to him he should be grateful cos I could've just gone to Crufts instead and he said we could have gone no problem !!!!
Melody is too young for that this year I think but you'll have to keep me informed of what to do (hotel booking & tickets etc) for going along next year.
-
It's on tonight CAN'T WAIT (sorry for shouting) :D.
-
I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited!! Mich couldn't believe how excited I was sitting on the sofa watching it!!! and crying at it!!! I always cry about the dogs that are up for the companion thingy xxxx Yogi to win!!!!!
-
Wasnt Yogi such a lovely boy :luv:
He was sooo cute
And such a lovely story brought a tear to my eye
I shall be voting for him :blink:
-
I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited!! Mich couldn't believe how excited I was sitting on the sofa watching it!!! and crying at it!!! I always cry about the dogs that are up for the companion thingy xxxx Yogi to win!!!!!
I started blubbering when they showed the Coco, the little Norfolk Terrier that won last year and sobbed through the companion dogs. I think they should all win but for me Yogi had that special something and I would like him to win :luv:

I think we may be usurped for rugby for the Friday Crufts session.
My dog trainer's doing something with his display team (Rockwood) in the special events section on Saturday and Sunday.

I loved that programme Rachel that island was fantastic. I was hoping they would reshow the programme sometime :huh:

Oh dear, I'm watching the recording of last Sundays show - Yogi and Daniel's story has made me (http://users.pandora.be/eforum/emoticons4u/sad/014.gif)
Molo is loving it - he keeps sniffing the TV :005:I'm now in love with yet another breed, the BVG's are GORGEOUS :luv:
-
Well I have a reputation!!!!!
All day people have said to me, oh I saw Crufts on the news this morning and I thought of you!!
They obviously have been listening to me jabbering on about it!
What was funny was though some of the people that said it to me were parents from my class!!! I swear I haven't mentioned it to my children at all, very strange. I will be rembered as the mad dog woman when my classes get to there 20's and start reminising about there teachers!!
I am soooooooo excited for tonights programme! Can't wait!! xx
-

tut tut, missing school for Crufts!! ha ha ha!! :005: :005:
Yeah people don't get it at all they think any tom dick or harry can just turn up with their dog they don't seem to realise that there are ny other dog shows ever and that you have to qualify for Crufts ::) and they switch off when i start trying to explain it to them!!
-
Yogi and Daniel do seem to have a very special bond. I loved it when Yogi was pulling Daniel's socks off :luv: What a beautiful dog with such a soulful expression,
We have voted for Jess and Shadow, 'cos we've met them and they have a special bond too, although I don't think it came across so clearly on the TV programme. They go to our Dog School, but are not in our class. Shadow was a street dog in Ireland and has found a true friend for life in Jess.
To be honest, all the dogs featured are very special - what a pity there can only be one winner. I think they are all winners. Can't wait to see them all on Sunday evening when Tills and Ems are in the Friends for Life parade. Rehearsal tomorrow - can't wait!
Sue and Tilly
-
I love yogi :luv:
But as sue said there all very special and all winners already :blink:
My Science teacher was at crufts today but i only know that nobody else dosnt ph34r She was showing her great danes but buy the results she never got placed

becki xx
-
and for those of you with digital you get an extra hour of Crufts straight after the regular programme.
-
Aww enjoyed the programme tonight :D
The bond between Shadow and the young girl was very special, it made me cry, I am so so so glad they found each other :luv: All our very special, of course xx
-
Have to say I was disappointed with Ben, at one point he referred to the winner of the Pastoral group as a 'she' when it's a dog.
Unless he was reading from the autocue he fluffed his lines, and even though he was wearing his glasses I found the way he squinted at the camera annoying.
Let's just hope it was first day nerves ::)
-
Here here Michele I'm afraid I have to agree with you and say that I too was disappointed with Mr Fogle :'( :'( He also came out with some other comment about the Australia Shepherd which was totally wrong. The squinting was annoying and he looked so nervous not like him at all. Fingers crossed that after he sees me tomorrow his nerves will go ;) :-* :-*
-

Go give him a slice of Gache Dessie, that'll sort him out :005:
-
I wasn't impressed by Mr Fogle either, but I was going to givehim the benifit of the doubt before I said anything but what the hell!! I was a little embarrised for him at points! Firstly when he was calling the bitch a dog and then when he said "and that all from me and this erm Austrailn (pause) er dog from California........" Clearly he couldn't remeber what breed the dog was...oooops sligh faux pas!!
CRINGE CRINGE CRINGE, hope it was just nervous :-\
-
I'm so glad I'm not the only one to be unimpressed with Mr Fogle. Very disappointing. But the dogs more than make up for it and his little talky bits gave me a chance to go make another cup of tea :005:
-
:lol: :lol:Give him a chance you guys ;), it must be very daunting doing a live show and having to remember what type of dog it is, its name and whether its a he or she :-\ Not that i'm sticking up for him or anything, but he could never get on my nerves :005: :luv:
Looking forward to tonights show especially Basset hounds and Ben Fogle, what more can a girl ask for :005: :luv:

Cockers and Ben Fogle!!! :luv: :lol: Roll on Sunday :005:
-
Well I have to say he annoyed the hell out of me - I turned over in the end!! He did the best impression of a nodding dog I've ever seen :005: :005: It took me all day to remember who he reminded me of - Charming from Shrek 2 (think he may even have had the cherry flavoured gloss ph34r) not impressed at all - he's not like that on Animal Park
-
I was at training last night so didn't see it but he doesn't seem too bad tonight ;) Although Lisa won't be pleased as he has confessed that Inca is "obese" ;) Tut tut tut - and his dad being a vet and all :005:
-
I wanted the Beagle to win - she was lovely.
-
Awww no Bassetts got through :'(
Loved the PGBV though :luv: Gorgeous happy thing :D

come on sarahp - get off the fence and say what you REALLY mean :lol:
it was bad.....(he couldn't even count the amount of dachsies right!) so i say
BRING BACK RICHARD HAMMOND!!! ;)
(he makes ben fogle look like an amateur really....)
-
BRING BACK RICHARD HAMMOND!!!
Couldn't agree more :D Normally quite like Ben Fogle, but don't think this has been his best work.... >:(
-
BRING BACK RICHARD HAMMOND!!!
Yes - defintely. He may be short and has not got such interesting hair as BF (I like sticky up hair...) but he's much more natural and seems to know loads more. But then I've only had a dog for 2 months so who am I to throw eggs ::)
I fell in love with the Otterhound. Not seen one before and I love hairy dogs (we had a bearded collie as kids). :luv:

throw all the eggs you like!!! it's the autocue reading that ben has an issue with (the squinting to read it is really offputting!)
i loved the otterhound too :luv: :luv:
-
Thank heavens I wasnt the only one who fell in love with the otterhound. I also loved the Beagle.
-
Did like the Otterhound, but preferred the PGBV :D
-
I loved the beagle, it looked so happy. I also liked the otterhound :D

Did like the Otterhound, but preferred the PGBV :D
that gawd you abbreviated that! that was my other joint fave in the group with that beagle (what a face :luv:) but didn't want to risk spelling the breed!!!! ph34r :005:
-
I thought he was marginally better tonight, but he really has been thrown in at the deep end and has not done sufficient homework. :007:
Interviewing the owner of the Wire Fox Terrier and congratulating him on winning "the event earlier" (Terrier Group) really isn't good enough. There are seven groups, that in itself shouldn't be too hard to remember. I know I'm being tough on him, and I normally enjoy watching what he presents, but he is out of his depth here. I think Joe Public will love him for his lovely doggies type approach.
Richard Hammond was ok, but bring back Clare Balding, she really kept her cool and knew what she was talking about. Of course this isn't Ben's fault but the BBC, as once again our only televised event of the dog showing year is ridiculed.
Off my soap box now :ranting:
-
I agree he was marginally better last night but I have to say I thiunk he should stick to animal park and we should have the lovely Richard Hammond back! And Gill is right I'm not impressed he has let Inca his lab get obese!!! Tut tut! Over weight dogs and dogs that have matted coats are my two soap boxes!!!! Cruel owners!!! :005:
Love the name Inca though! :-*
Oooooooo I am going to Brum today, wooooo hoooo and Crufts ALL day tomoz!! I can't wait! If I see Ben Foggle I'll be sure to tell him off Gill!!! :005: :005:
-
My faves last night were the wire haired fox terrier, and all the Dachsises, I LOOOOOOOVE them, but they'd be no good in this house with my mad cockers, poor little things'd get squashed and hurt xxxxxx
-
We were waiting in the Collecting Ring behind the Main Show Ring last night and formed a "Guard of Honour" as the Hound Group finalists left the ring and passed through us. It was interesting to see these top dogs close-up and some of their owners were in tears - wonder if it was the emotion of the occasion or that they hadn't won?
We had a long rehearsal (until 9.15 :o), but I think the "Friends for Life" section on Sunday will be brilliant - very moving. Tilly was an absolute star and got lots of cuddles from everyone she met. Despite the crowds, her tail didn't stop wagging :luv:.
There are two cockers in the Parade - Tilly (of course) and a lovely orange roan. I will try to find out his/her name at tonight's rehearsal. Emily is the only child in the Parade :shades:.
Hope it doesn't snow tonight!
Sue and Tilly

i'll be glued to the telly! (despite ben fogel...!)
GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Help!
I have a satellite,but don't have BBC2,maybe some other TV is transmiting Cruft's?
I would like to watch the Cruft's :-\
-
Aww what a shame, I can't think of any other channels that are showing it :huh: You could always listen to Crufts FM online, not quite the same I know, you can get to it via a link from the Kennel Club website :D
-
:'( :'( :'( :'(
will listen then..
-
after Cruft's,there will be some record to buy? for us who don't have ability to watch it?
-
Black Angel I think you can buy a dvd from the kennel club website which is a recording of the programmes, but not 100 % sure, there defo is a dvd of some kind you can buy.
My mum has just phoned me and been ranting about how rubbish ben foggle is! It seems he's not very popular at the Crufts job!
-
I must admit I like BF but he's not doing to great at this Crufts business :-\ Methinks a bit more prep beforehand would be a good thing for him :-\
-
Good Luck to Emily and Tilly tomorrow :D !
We had a great time yesterday, took 4 hours to get home tho >:D (was even worse on the way ome on Thursday!). Have to say that Thursday has been the busiest day that I’ve seen for a long time - it really was packed!!! Enjoy helping out of the college stand tho.
Despite been benched next to the special events ring yesterday (which was VERY loud!) and Dixie being very naughty, I was still very proud of him! We managed to get shortlisted out of a huge class of 28 to the last 7 :shades: .
Looking forward to tomorrow, hope your feeling better Sue! Becki's got sore ribs :005: self inflicted as she did 200 and od sit ups in a bleep test in P.E ::)
Edited to add...Helen, as I walked in on Thurday, I bumped into me fav presenter in the world :005: BF :lol: (speaks just the same in real life lol - and the hair is hugE!) and he was draggin his granny trolley, sorry Michelle :rofl1: hehe.
-
Seen Emily and Tilly in the parade :luv: :luv: They both looked fab Sue, you must be proudxx
Tonights show so far has been an emotional rollercoaster, Speedy was absolutely hysterical :lol:, then we had the retriever getting jiggy wiv another one :o :005: and of course the friends for life thing, had me in tears :luv:
Really enjoying tonight and Ben Fogle, mwwaaaahhhh hope hes back next year :P
-
I liked the story about the Chesapeake Bay Retriever that got BOB - he ate an entire 18lb turkey raw, leaving his owners with no food on Christmas Day. Maybe Cockers aren't the greediest breed after all. :lol:
-
Although Ben Fogle wasn't the best presenter in the world, his fluffs were kind of endearing :luv: The Companion competition was fab. I was an absolute mess :'(
Daniel and Yogi, you are stars!!! ;)
Well done BBC, thought the coverage this year was brill!!! :D
-
I was in tears in parts as well, Esp when the little boy with Yogi, started crying, i was sobbing.
However, i didn't enjoy watching Ben one bit. I am sorry, I thought it was cringe worthy. There was too much chatting about stuff, and I wanted to see more dogs !!
-
I was in stitches watching Speedy :rofl1: :rofl1: There is a scottie at training who is exactly the same :lol: He will do what you ask of him but in his own good time :005:
-
did i miss interpret :-\ or did Ben Fogle talk about calming Inca down and her having a litter in the same breathe? I hope I'm wrong, because that'll give people ideas about calming their bitches down if they have a litter............an old wives tale!!!!!
As for Speedy ha ha ha Speedy by name but not by nature! That was hilarious!!! :005: :005:
-

A:005: :005:
I didn't hear that bit, but I think Inca has already had a litter :D
-

No!! he said she calmed down when she was about one ;) Inca has had a litter though, i'm sure he said the pups were about two. Inca must be at least 10 now, because he had her on tarransey, and that was ages ago.
-
Somebody had asked at what age had Inca had calmed down. He said that she was about 12 months :o and then said but she had puppies last year and they are still bonkers and they are nearly 2 now!!! (I'm not sure his maths is too hot!! ::))
-
Thanks for clearing that up!!!
I was all set to start ranting!!! ha ha ha thats why I thought it was best i asked first!! I'm a bit delirious after my long day!!!!
-
Yes, she definatley has had a litter, scroll down to Incas bit
http://www.benfogle.com/biography.php
I think a lot of what Ben has said on Crufts has been misinterpreted, I don't mean by you guys, but someone had emailed in saying that he was irresponsible telling people to give their dog chocolate, Ben *Clearly* stated that the easter egg was for dogs ::) Grr some people ::)
-
I've just watched tonights show and extended coverage - all in the wrong order, cos it was recorded - Well done - Emily and Tilly, brilliant (http://img149.exs.cx/img149/8608/bouncingsmilie8mk.gif)
I haven't watched all the programmes yet (still recorded) - but was surprised at Ben tbh; I now wonder how many "takes" he does for Countryfile :005: Too many Umms and ahhs for my liking ::)
Highlights from tonight for me were Speedy (wonderful dog); seeing Jasper, and hearing him praised so highly - it was good to hear the working/show split refered to in the commentry, too :)
Yogi and Daniel were just wonderful, I was a total wreck, too - but didn't Yogi take it all in his stride, such a brilliant companion :luv: I think the Pals with Paws programme is amazing :D
Finally, Mary Ray and her heelwork to music is amazing, I am in awe of her and the way she trained her wonderful dogs :)
-
Inca must be at least 10 now, because he had her on tarransey, and that was ages ago.
Your wishing your life away Barbs - it was 2000, wasn't it - I think Inca had her litter at age 4 ;)
-
Your wishing your life away Barbs - it was 2000, wasn't it - I think Inca had her litter at age 4 ;)
It was in 2000 and Inca was 5 months old :D
-
[quote au
Your wishing your life away Barbs - it was 2000, wasn't it - I think Inca had her litter at age 4 ;)
Was it only six year ago!! blimy i thought it was a lot longer than that. That makes Inca the same age as Nell.
I fell about laughing at Speedy, he was hysterical :005: and i cried buckets at the young boy and Yogi, they were all deserving winners, but a boy and his dog, gets my vote everytime. ;)
-
Ben Fogle was starting to get on my nerves, I'd have thought by the 3rd or 4th day he's have sorted his nerves out too. Nevermind - I wasn't the one in front of the camera - not sure I could have done any better ph34r
Loved the dog that got BIS but my daughter wasn't impressed that he was constantly eating the dog's biscuit, lol. Once she pointed it out to me I noticed it too - he was only giving the dog wee bits and chwing the rest himself, even when talking to the judge afterwards. EEwwwwwww, is it just me or is that not nice :005:

I don't think he was actually eating the biscuit, but gesturing to the dog to maintain its interest ;)

Oh right :005: I just thought I saw him nibbling it too and he was still chewing when he'd taken it out of his mouth.
Its a bit of a hot topic in this house, we're always telling the kids not to share their food with Melody ;)
