Hi JB.. its been pretty common knowlage on the show scene for a while now... I think when all the problems came up over the breeders stakes and so on... it all came to light.

thats really strange... to go.. set up then pull it all down.. strange.... I cant make head nor tails of that.. any ideas?

All i know is the staff were there ready and on the first day the mangers of Pedigree turned up and told them all to go home, weird as presumably they'd paid for the pitch.
It would be nice if another company or the KC itself started doing car stickers for CC's etc after all yuo pay over £20 and all you get now is a crappy rosette and a piece of card

pedigree ... must.. have made lots of money at one point out of show sponsers.. I wonder if one of the other top companys will pick up there place or if its the end of an era

that said I find the car stickers bits and all that stuff...just a lot of TAT.. runs ...hides.... that said loads of folk love it.. and some of the bags and stuff are making a bomb on ebay...

I did mention it to Mike at Eukanuba when Pedigree said they were withdrawing from general champ shows but he didnt see to seem to sure.

Ah... the smell of sweet success..... spare a thought for those who go to shows.... and cant get a rosette and a piece of card....

I know its not the PC thing to say.. but I love EUKANUBA I buy all my puppy food from them... I really like there puppy packs.. far better than the crappy ones from pedigree.

You mean like me......i always end up getting 4th or 5th if I get placed at all.
Dalsetter make a fortune off me

So do I, and there booklets fab as well. The new pedigree packs are better but you get normal puppy not proffessional, but at least you get a tub,
Thats a rip off as well although there free you have to have a minimum spend of £50 or you have to ring them.
I did register my last two litters on line though and ended up with £80 credit so I ordered loads of puppy packs and food.
