Depends on the person. I went to the Norfolk show one year and was really pleased to see quite a few Kerries there as we rarely see any on walks. One group of people didn't want to talk to me about their dogs but Parker's breeder was there and she was very friendly.

Ive asked people at cruffts before could I stroke their dogs and they were great and said yes but I want to ask questions, dont want to annoy ppl as you say some people just dont want to chat

Yes just turn up they may want you to join the club its about £4 to join but if you say you want to see what its all about first. First wednesday of the month its match night so there is a competition.

At Crufts this year I was waiting to go into the ring with Kirk (Lakeland ) and about 6 people swooped on him cuddling and stroking him. Now some people would not be best pleased after hours of preparation but what the heck a bit of ruffled fur should not be a problem.

Hahaha I was at the stalls harrassing the rottweilers not at the ring side. My rottweiler was born in 2000 before the docking ban but her breeder refused to dock so I was noseying other rotts with tails in 2003 as you didnt see them much. My dog got swooped all Sunday. Flattering but annoying. At least it did wonders for her socialisation
