Lost the venue (I know this is an old thread)
We now have a ringcraft on a Friday at 8 just round the corner at the scout hut on Linney Road in Bramhall - literally 3 roads away from the other one

will they take GSDs? I need to learn how to stand her as I haven't got a foggiest......

Have they got spare places for little old me?

There used to be a GSD society that ran classes only for GSDS. The GSD is shown in a different manner to other show dogs and it is important that the training club chosen understand how the breed is shown. I will look in the yearbook and see if I can find anything for you if you are still looking.

oh yes that would be very helpful thanks

If your dogs breeders were unable to help you could try phoning the following secretary:
Bolton & District GSD Club - Mrs C Morrison 0161 368 4928
Think that is the nearest club to you and is the most likely to be able to help

Hi Mel what Bloodlines is your dog, as dependent whether English or Continental they are shown a different way, if English you will be OK at a General all breeds ringcraft club, if Continental and you drive St Helens Rugby Club on a Monday evenings is best.
Pam

yes I joined there however they hold their sessions on a sunday and its difficult for us with the kids too as we needed sitters etc

she is germanic bloodlines will try St Helens club thanks, Monday is a much better day thank you, do you go there?

Mel

That is a shame as I don't think there is another near enough to you, could not one of you go and leave the other with the children or could you take the children with you?

Hi Mel no not at the moment but I know plenty of people that do, it prob wont be on this Monday due to Crufts I can find out for you or get phone number, otherwise ask around at Crufts as there should be a good Northwest Entry, as you know its known as GSD world around here by southerners in the breed.
