if im at a show were you only get the prize card.. no rosette Im well to mean to go to dalsetter..... I did when I got my first wins as SKC...coz it was champ shows.. but that was a long time ago... Im such a meany....so tight...

thanks for that dawn..

It dosnt bother me they are pulling out to be honest, I dont feed the food to my dogs, and in fact when my bitch got best bitch at crufts a pedigree rep came over to chat about it and interview me I told them I fed a raw diet so they are wasting their time with me lol, I enjoy shows wether I get a rossette or not, and to be honest more often than not if we get rossetts I normally ask them to keep them(if its a small show) for the next time round, or if a big show they go in my drawer at home, I think its been coming for a while now pedigree pulling out of shows, I am sure someone will step up to the plate for major shows.

I can remember a friend of mine winning the group at Southern counties a couple of years ago and the pedigree reps were awful trying to make her sign a contract and promising adverting. I always thought there wage must be rubbish but commision massive

Yeah that always used to make me chuckle with the adverts year after year, i never belived for one minute that all those dogs were fed pedigree! Maybe that's because the only dogs that i know that have been fed pedigree seemed to have the squits constantly.....that wouldn't do in the champions ring at crufts now would it!

im sure... AND I HOPE someone who has been showing for years will come and tell us.. but im sure.. for many years.. you more or less had to say you fed pedigree...or you were not getting into that big ring...

So stupid isn't it. We still often get puppies at class that do huge stinky squishy poos in class. While cleaning it up i casually ask the owners if they are always that big, loose and smelly and when they say yes i say "let me guess, is he/she fed on pedigree?" Can't remember a time when i have been wrong!

hence the song....it comes out your bu.m like pedigree chum....diarrhea.....diarrhea

not heard that one before...
