Anyone making a genuine mistake would surely not be offended or upset at being guided to the correct classes be it real show or virtual

Its the kind of thing a pet owner may do when passing a show, kinda thinking oh lets have a laugh,
just a thought
As I've said, it makes a mockey of the whole Scruffts competition. Crossbreeds aren't any less special that pedigrees and should not be treated as such. In fact, they are unique.

Oi shush, no one`s supposed to spot things like that
the show sec has to try to maintain the appearance of being a serene gliding swan on the surface, no one needs to know about the madly thrashing legs underneath

If not, then they should not be running this only Scottish Scruffts heat!

The dogs that weren't crossbreeds got placed 2nd and 3rd in some classes, but if 1st can't go, then 2nd goes and so on. I can just see an ESS parading around the ring at Scruffts.

SKC is once of the more expensive agility shows, I think. Can't remember off hand how much the classes are. £3 for members and £4 for non members. Something like that! I don't know how much the breed classes are.

The breed classes are considerably more at £23.
