Sadly no, I have never been to crufts, as a spectator or otherwise. Will be watching on tv if any channel is showing it.

No. No interest in it all really. I hate the politics that creep into events like this. Having said that, I would love to go and see all the stuff you can buy!!

I've been every year since 1992! (When I was six and had no dog!!) What an anorak :076:

When Penny was competing (agility) it was nerve wracking. Its much nicer with no pressure!!

I do love bringing back looooooads of treats for the doglets! :053:

What day are you going Fluffy? Have a good shop! :) We'll drive over to NEC as we're only 20mins away.

Ooo, a trip sounds good! Can you imagine VC on mass taking over the NEC!

I use Coatex (oatmeal and aloe vera version) shampoo on my 2 cockers. It smells good, rinses out easily and leaves their coats in good condition. I follow this up with conditioner. I use a grooming spray called velvet coat and another 1 I can't remember the name of. Not sure about blades for clippers as my 2 dogs are handstripped and someone else does them so not sure what they use for the bits where clippers are used (if at all). HTH

I'd love to go one year, but it's trying to get someone to go with me. Can't even get the OH to come and see Marley and Me on Sunday, so what chance do I have with Crufts!! :062:

I want to see Marley and me to! OH was less than impressed with the idea! :062:

No, its always at the NEC. Y'all have to come down and stay with me for the weekend! I'm only 20mins away!

Really looking forward to tomorrow now! :059: Got to draw out some £'s to spend! Typicial, I really need (desperate need!) some new clothes but I'd rather spend the money on the dogs that have everything!!!

If you're going make sure to check out the Holly&Lil collar stand - they do the most amazing collars :059:
