I love the shopping, enjoy meeting up with people I don't see often, breakfasts are good.
The **** outside not so good, the dogs dragged through the crowds bad, the toileting for the dogs difficult.
The agility, obedience, displays etc fun but having 'done' Crufts for many years I haven't missed it at all for the last two! Maybe I have grown out of it.

the agility dogs, obedience, greyhounds /guide dogs, police dogs, therapy dogs, are exempt from that terrible affliction,
They may be in the same overheated shed, but they are promoting their cause , so thats OK, its only dogs with the word show attached that are the ones who are suffering

Teaching tricks agility etc is great, it is stimulating for the dog. Personally I think agility shouldn't be at Crufts----the surface is NOT good and too many dogs slip----but the 'glory' of being there beats the concern for the dogs.

The Peke looked more shattered than anything. He was the centre of attention all day. Never seen one before nor since like that.
