All those grgeous Cockers today and i thought i was in heaven !! One of my favourites was a sable cocker that was being shown! It was a gorgeous colour and very stunning!

JW = Junior Warrant - it's earned by gaining points from a certain number of wins so is a good sign of a dog being consistently placed well. The points have to be earned by the time the dog is I think - 18 months - Jane will correct and give a fuller detail I'm sure :D
Bencleuch Bella Rosa is also a Show Champion - the girl done very well :wink:
Big WELL DONE to our successful memebrs today and hope you all had a great day out together :D

Had a great day today and it was nice meeting everyone.
Yes - Mary and I traisped round the place looking for a table for Colin :roll: Have to tell you this bit - we managed to haggle and get a discount on the final price and you know what the cheeky devil called us - 'the haggling hags'!!!!!!!!!! :shock: :lol:
Loraine :)

Loraine :)
:x and poor old Mike had to carry it home :roll:
Had a really enjoyable day and it was nice to meet a few of you from further north :wink:
I bought a grooming table so Lotties in for a shock this weekend as I bought one with an arm and a noose :lol: :lol:
:shock: Sorry...forgot to add a huge congratualtions to Ruby for her win and to Kim and Tracey for theirs also :lol: Also a big kiss for Otis who was not quite himself today but was more himself near hometime :wink:
-
Well done everyone! :D :D
Millie's brother (Spendles Spinning Top JW) was reserve Best of Breed in the dogs... how chuffed am I ?? :D :D
It was really really nice to meet you all (all those I met!) - sorry I snuck off... I'm quite shy really, and didn't know what to say to anyone! :lol: :lol: :oops: But it was really nice to put faces and names together :)
Next year is definately going to be a 2-dayer .. one day for cockers and a bit of shopping and then the following day for agility / Good Dog / heel work to music - I saw some of these but not enough!
I also spent far too much money ... how terrible are all those fantastic cheap treats / food!! ?? :lol: :lol:
The girls were like this :shock: when I got home with all those bags .. come to think of it ... so was Trist :lol:
-
Sounds like you all had a fantastic day :lol: Well done for haggling over the table Mary & Loraine - you don't get if you don't ask do you?
Thanks so much for the congratulations for Ruby's win :D I don't know who is most tired - Andrew or Ruby. They've both been fast asleep on the sofa for the past two hours :lol: Well done too to Kim & Tracey for their good placings :)
Shirley, as Pam says, the JW or Junior Warrant is an award given to dogs who gain a certain number of wins before 18 months of age, points have to be won at Championship shows and Open Shows. Bella Rosa is a lovely bitch - Andrew gave her one of her CCs :wink: I guess your pup's Dad must be Los Ombues VIP? I've seen a photo of him but not actually seen him for real yet.
-
Hi Jane
Sounds like Andrew and Ruby had a tiring but thoroughly enjoyable day.
Glad to hear that everyone else had a good time too - you lucky things.
Yes, Los Ombues VIP is our new pups dad. I had noticed that Andrew was the judge on one of her wins. I can't wait till tomorrow, to see the little fellow. Can't sleep, can't eat - excited and nervous at the same time. Will be looking for lots of advice :? :D
-
Well done everyone :D We were there but were drawn to the bright lights and shopping :lol: So only said a brief Hello to some of the COL gang :roll:
We loved the discover dogs sections and now have a list of 30 dogs for pet number 3 :shock:
We really feel that you have to have a couple of day there as so much to see and do, so next year we are going to take the caravan to Cannock chase and spend the weekend. :wink:
Edited to say it took us from 5.30 untill 8.00 to get home :shock: :shock: a journey that would normally take an hour and a half??

It was fantastic to meet everyone I hadn't met before, and catch up with those I have - and I was very lucky to be ringside to see Andrew, Kim and Tracey do so well :D Many thanks again to Michele for playing host - even though Otis didnt place, he still managed to charm everyone he met :lol: I got home at 9.30pm... long day, but so worth it. Daisy looks rather fetching in her blue tartan snood (Jazz thinks its hilarious and is glad she didnt get one!) :lol:
-
a big WELL DONE to all who were showing. :lol:
Glad we made it to meet everyone in time. It was good to put faces to names as well, and nice to meet Loraine and Mary again. I wanted to get a grooming table too but couldn't believe the prices :shock: So passed on that one, and got a new crate for the car instead. :lol:
Sorry I snuck off too but I'm like a kid in sweet shop :lol: We didn't see enough of the classes but had sooooo much shopping to do :roll: I dragged my sister everywhere and back again in case I'd missed something. We also saw some of the agility classes which are great fun and nice to sit down for a bit! and the Discover dogs was interesting, my sister fell in love with two Blood hounds and wanted to take them home :roll: She ended up with a big St Bernard cuddly toy which we won on one of the stalls :lol: :lol: We did get some strange looks from passers by in the car on the way home :wink:
Hope you all had good journey's home. Have pencilled in the date for next year already. (March 10th - 13th 2005) :wink:
-
:D
CONGRAT's to all the guys & woofers - entries, placings & wins!!
Millie's brother (Spendles Spinning Top JW) was reserve Best of Breed in the dogs... how chuffed am I ?? :D :D
Coincidence, this was the dog that beat Charlie-Spud's Dad in the heat .... Pah!! :D the closest we'd get to Crufts showing as well !!! :wink:
-
Congratulations everyone!
I'm a dog show virgin, but have enjoyed watching crufts this year.
-
Have added an area to the photo gallery for anyone who has any Crufts pics to show everyone!

Our first time at cockers, and despite some problems getting there due to traffic and accidents on M42 enjoyed our day. It was great to meet some of you sorry we didn't hang around long, think the security guard outside chum stand was getting fed up....
Managed to see some of the cockers, though its difficult to get close to the rings side. All those dogs and so well behaved.
Now I've seen a few well groomed cockers, Tali will be attacked with vengeance, so he looks like a cocker and not an old english sheepdog... to help bought a grooming table, put it next to the sofa so he can get used to it being around and doesn't just associate it with being cut, he can't keep of it. thinks its great. Have to say I know it wasn't cheap but it has made so much difference, hes much easier to get to and its a lot easier on the back as well.
Also ended up with about 4 bags of dog food and lots of frolic samples, which he loves. Credit card is creaking a little though....
Congratulations to all those showing. Talis kennel name is Sandvika Taliska, lots of Sandvikas in the fields group and rather well they did as well. That’s def the closest Tali will get to crufts...
:lol: :lol: :lol:
-
:D Congratulations to all from us too. x :D

Have pencilled in the date for next year already. (March 10th - 13th 2005)
Right, when i go back to work after my much deserved holiday :D , I am going to claim those dates for next year.......so I will be there by hook or by crook. Better start saving those pennies now :wink: 8)
-
Thank's for all your congratulations...... :D
We had a nice day. It was great to see Mary, Gilly, mike and Derryn and of course Michele and Otis 8)
Today has been a real chil out day, we were EXHAUSTED last night, but pleased with Stanley's place :D
Congratulations to Jane and Andrew and Kim.
Back at crufts tomorrow on discover dogs with Peggy and Stan, and hopefully some time to shop :lol:

It was great to meet so many of you. Gilly remained elusive for most of the day but I caught her in the end :wink:
Otis 8) was certainly not himself for most of the day, and talking to Tracey she said one of hers was upset by the noise and hubbub too. Its quite worrying when your usual guzzle guts refuses a sausage :cry: Thanks to all of you who showed him such concern. I am happy to say he is now completely back to normal and loves his new saxaphone soft toy :roll:
I got home about 8.20pm and by the time I got finished last night I was totally cream crackered, so much so that although I got up this morning to let the dogs out and give them breakfast, I went back to bed and didn't wake up again until 11.45am :shock: Thanks to darling hubbie for lie in xx :D
Well done to Andrew with Ruby, Kim, Tracey and anyone else who did well :D
-
Well done everyone!!
-
What we must remember is, that in a numerically large breed, such as ours, to qualify for Crufts is a major achievement, to be placed at Crufts is just the icing.
Congrats to all those who qualified & whatever the result, I hope you enjoyed your day.
I was knackered, to say the least & got chucked out with my Champion :lol: so as I say it's the getting there, that counts.
Crufts is different to any other Ch.Show.
To those that didn't manage to qualify, just keep trying. :wink:
-
Bit late in the day from me I'm afraid :roll: I just got back from Manchester at 9.00pm tonight :wink:
A big congrats to all, I had a great day..meeting Dessie, Tracey, Kim, Michele (even though we kept missing each other :wink: ), Mike, Lou, Anita, Kelly, Charlie Spuds mum, Mike , Mary and Loraine (if I've forgotton anyone I'm sorry :oops: ) There was too much shopping and watching to do so I found it very hard to socialise....but I got kisses off Betty, Ruby and Otis..so that was enough for me :D

After having a wonderful time at Crufts I would like to send big congrats to everyone who did well in the ring. In particular I would like to give compliments to Ruby and Andrew on whom I think (especially after watching the Crufts-COL-video) is an excellent handler. :D :D
Don't be surpriced Jane if I give you a call someday, when I decide to get a particoulered pup. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
I really had a lovely time being there, except for the fact, that next time I'm going I need two days, one for cockerwatching and one for shopping. When the BOB was found, I hardly had time for shopping :cry: Hubby was happy though :roll:
-
I've only just had the energy to post after Friday. It was a great day and we really enjoyed meeting everyone.
Congratulations to all those entered. Sorry we didn't have must time to meet everyone but the shopping was just too much to cope with. Managed to see some of the judging and the obedience but I'm sure there's loads that we missed. Definitely need two days!!!
Well Done everyone :D
-
Congratulations to everyone who enjoyed success at Crufts!
We had a fantastic day, but unfortunately missed the meeting point and time because we were stuck in a huge traffic jam on the M42. I spoke to a lot of nice people around the cocker ring though, so perhaps met some of you without realising it?! What wonderful dogs...I do love gundogs, especially cockers and Welsh springers. Looking forward to next year already.

Well better late than never :wink:
Huge congratulations to Jane, Kim and Tracey and Dallas's brother too!!! I had to make do with watching the highlights on BBC2 and it looked like it would have been brilliant to be there - maybe next year :D
-

Thank you Sarah - not sure I'd better tell Andrew though, he'll get a big head :lol: To be honest, Ruby makes it easy - she is just one of those natural "show-offs" :)
-
I heard someone next to me say, whilst watching Ruby in the ring, "she moves like a dream!" - which I thought was rather nice :D
-

But she does Mike :wink:
I'd just like to add my congratulations to Kim, Michele, Andrew & Jane & Tracey. Well done you guys for qualifying and even better placing and lucky enough to win your classes.
I would also like to say that it was really nice to meet Mike, Gilly (even though you forgot about me on your list :cry: :cry: :cry: ), Michele & Otis, Tracey, Kim, Mary, Anita, Lorraine, KellyP, Susan & hubby, Sarah and Charlie Spud's Mum. And I hope I haven't missed anybody :wink:

I'll forgive you :roll:

Well
I'm sorry that i didn't met anyone, but i only was there at 11 and i miss the meeting spot. Honestly, i think i was very near collin, but i was too shy to ask.....
I've loved so many dogs, that i can't describe...
-
Colin wasnt there Linda - so I wonder if you mean me? :o Really sorry we didnt get to meet you - maybe next year :wink: Glad you had such a good time though :D

Linda,
I know exactly what you mean, I did manage to introduce myself to a few members :oops: but its so different talking face to face :roll: and I just dragged my daughter and husband of round the stands instead. I will overcome my shyness for next time though :D
