I've never been.
I've been told it's mad mad mad busy.
Do you think it's too busy to take my son (6)????

I does get quite busy, I think I have only ever been once on a Saturday and in was a bit mad.
I usually go on the Thursday and Friday and get the first flight over from Belfast so I'm there for about 9am. I dont find it too bad in the mornings and up until lunchtime .

If you do decide to go with your son, take him to the Discover Dogs area where there are all the different types of breeds. I fell in love with an English Toy Terrier and a Chinese Crested last year!!:smt049

Thanks Joanne...that's probably what I could do with... a quick guide on the best places to take him!!!!

It does get really busy. DD is a fantastic area There's loads to see and do there Depending on your lads age, he should enjoy it, even though it is a long and tiring day

We could all meet up for a drink afterwards (depending on who is going on what day)

Here's the link to the kennel club website. It will be updated the closer it gets to March.

There are loads of things to see/do/buy!!
During the day they have agility displays, obedience, flyball and the judging of the breeds, also all the stands to do the essential shopping.

If anyone is planning to stay over in Birmingham, it pays to book Hotels early. They've already got bookings and it gets harder to find somewhere nearer the time, especially if you want to be close to the NEC.
