Right thats where im getting confused!  Trying to figure out which show i can get to next and which my son would enjoy. What is the Garstang one?

[flossysmum]

The garstang show is an open show in a little hall, its usually quite nice National gundog is a championhip show, i think i will be going to National gundog this year

The last couple of shows have fallen on my sons rugby tournaments so we couldnt attend, hes got one more on the 3rd August, so with the summer holidays almost here i was hoping to get to one at least with him. Wouldnt mind going to one with a bit of agility etc to keep him occupied/interested but obviously one where the cocker spaniels will be. Would the Worcs one be like that?

The one at worcs would have lots more going on, not sure about agility but there will be a gundog training display during th interval and lots of stakes classes including pup of the year stakes, young kennel club stakes

Yes things like that - im worried incase he gets fed up of the actual 'dog showing'? But i cant say for sure as he's never been to one. I hope he doesnt try 'cocker spotting' while we are there!  "Mum, mum a cocker" aww least iv passed such good taste on to him, almost makes up for the football team his dad made him support!  Is there anywhere with information on the upcoming shows that i can look at/buy?  Thanks Abilou

  hehe, well there should be lots of cockers to look at at the show there should be schedules you can pick up and a catalogue of what is beng judged/going on. or you could go to www.prodogs.co.uk/ www.fossedata.co.uk/ www.highampress.co.uk/ they should have all upcoming shows
