Hi All,
We had a fabulous day at Crufts yesterday :D . Thank you all for your good wishes to Emily for her Safe and Sound demonstration. They all performed magnificently and the demonstration was well-received by the capacity crowd. We saw hundreds of lovely dogs and stroked many of them (with the owner's permission of course :P ). I was even invited to feel the webbed-toes of the Portuguese Water Spaniel, something I've never done before :ph34r: ! I absolutely loved the Discover Dogs section, but it gets impossible to see the dogs later in the day because of the crowds - so go early if you can. It was good to see lots of the stands at DD had Safe and Sound posters advising kids how to approach the dogs :) .
One tip you might find useful is that the queues for the hot drink stands are long, but we found a hidden gem in Hall 5, tucked away in the corner in the shadow of the Main Ring was a tea stall with no queues....
It was also very hot this year, I will leave my coat behind in the car.
I bought two gorgeous hand-painted tiles with black cockers on from a lady called Caroline Boa. Unfortunately she only had two of black cockers and I bought them both :P :ph34r: , but she has some lovely goldens and parti-colours. If you find her stall I think it's worth a look (may go back to get some Welsh Springers!)
Hope to see lots of you tomorrow.
