    You mean you have time to watch ;) :) . I'm off to Crufts on Saturday for Gundog day. Currently I'm not sure how I'll fit everything I want to do in

    I always have TV on when I'm working - helps me concentrate, strangely. Shadow was glued to the screen - complete TV junkie!

    I'm very jealous of you going on Saturday. I'd love to see that!

    Ooo, I'd love to go to Crufts. I thought about flying over this year but in the end couldn't justify the cost, especially as I'll probably be traveling at least a couple times for my puppy search.

    Is Crufts still a benched show? There aren't very many of these left in the US and I used to go to one of the biggest, the Golden Gate Kennel Club show in the Cow Palace every year. That's how I found my first Rottie, Duncan - his papa was sitting on his bench and giving all visitors the Rottie love sponge treatment. The Old English Mastiffs were also always hits with everyone, as were the chihuahua benches which the breeders made into a little wild west town complete with props and little outfits for the dogs. :D

    And of course the vendors...amazing how admission/parking can be only $15 but SOMEHOW you can't get out of good dog show for less than $100.:rolleyes:

    I only watch the agility and gundog classes which I love, but I don't care much for the breed classes , especially after seeing that poor GSD . I don't have much time for the Kennel Club these days, but then I`m just an old grouch :hmm:

    What did you buy? Sounds as if you had a wonderful spending spree, highly jealous, in the nicest possible way of course :D
