last year was our first time there and comfy shoes and LOTS of money are a MUST
and a nice flask of coffeee or bottle of wine

Agree 100%....
food queues are horrendous and its VEY expensive.
Also for any new exhibitors...ITS NOT LIKE AN ORDINARY SHAMP SHOW!!!!its full of public who love to try and shove ham sandwiches etc down your dog and think its fine to prod and poke at them!
Whereas other champ shows are full of doggy people CRUFTS is different.Year b4 last while trying to battle our way back to the benches after leaving the ring we had a snooty woman look us up and down and say aloud ''OMG...THERES JUST TOOOO MANY DOGS''... duhhhh...it is a dog show!

I couldn't agree more Jayne. My feet were dropping off last time I went. (I did walk milage though gathering up all my freebies )

The food is crap and so expensive and the queue's are a joke. We were really cheeky last year and joined a stream of traffic on the motor way, we sped down the hard shoulder for about 2 miles and nudged in frount. We weren't the only ones though as there was also a queue in the hard shoulder

thank you

list..... walking boots, food, drink and money

GOT IT !!

(oh and camera )

Out of interest is it any quieter on a Thursday ...only ever been on a sat/sunday and it was MANIC!!!!!!!!!!!

Cause not................ITS STAFFY DAY!!!!!

I know...but I wondered if there was less public there?

I'm going !! Not with my babies this time round, but i'm going to support all the staffies in show. Hope to meet some of you there

Thats great....don't have staffies but will be there with my hounds....3 of them or maybe 2 cos I'm not sure Frankie is gonna live that long!
