The National

Just got my paperwork through and had the same stomach turning feeling, does anyone else feel like that, does not seem to matter how long you have be showing it still gives you the shivers.

Ah I was getting a bit worried because I hadn't received my pass. I entered online so I was getting a bit panicky - hopefully it will be there when I get home!

I'm not looking forward to it at all as it's Grace's first show and she'll just be out of season so we've had no training for a month (this season has gone on forever). Just look for the shop lifting puppy and that will be Grace .

I've been out of the ring for a while other than showing for my friend last year on occasions and I've forgotten how nervous I get - why do we do it?!

Just got home and opened mine. We have a 9am start and I have a three hour journey on a good run :smt103

Hi Alison - I entered on line too, but it seems to have worked OK

Did not realise it had the time on - just taken a look 1.00oc -1.00oc guess that will be a late night then and who ever gets BOB will be running to get in group and guess the time the puppy stake classes are, thats right 1.00oc

I'm not allowed :smt010 :smt022

Why not Joe?

Norman comes from breed rescue and I'm not allowed to breed or show


cos he would win everything :smt004

Can understand the breeding but if you want to show it seems a shame, I know most rescue do not hand over the dogs/hounds paper work, but there are not that many WH about, so as I said, a shame that yours has been removed from the show world and should he have proven worthy from breeding too. And, fo course, we all know that Norman would have been worthy given the chance.

Is there any way you could apply for his papers?

It would do wonders for rescues. Can you imagine "Rescue Dog wins Crufts"
