Thanks Becky - I couldn't have asked for any more from him - another day another decision. And I know I took the best boy home

Glad you enjoyed your day at Crufts, have to admit it is my least favourite show and although I do go sometimes I have not taken a dog with me for about 6 years.
Will be there dogless on Sunday and will be doing the rounds of the hounds for as long as my feet hold up
Thanks Pita - I do enjoy it at Crufts and its great to qualify - its a long day for the dogs though - but Connor wasn't phased at all - so I am extra proud of him.
Different judge can make so much difference - many people who have done well didn't get placed so felt we were in v. good company

Thanks Rachel - he was wonderful he really was - they can get so spooked as it is so noisy and so many people - but he really didn't bat an eyelid about the whole thing and gave so much in the ring for me
He got special cuddles and kisses and roast chicken titbits
Thank you - very chuffed with my wee lad!

We are off around 9 or 10 tonight , and staying over in Coventry tomorrow night setting of for home late monday morning and it will probably take me till the end of the week to recover.
Thank you v. much Eunice - really couldn't ask any more of him at all.
I am still exhausted today
Good luck tomorrow and have fun
will look forward to seeing how you get on!
