Crufts today !

I have been at Crufts today on the Discover Dogs Greyhound stand , it has been a lovely day , Bella has been a star , on the train journey there and back and meeting dogs of all shapes and sizes, she was an absolute credit to her breed the way she behaved on the stand and walking through the trade stands with me. We have 2 potential hounds with new homes , one an oldie who is a lovely lad and it looks promising he will finally have a sofa ! The couple interested came back to the stand 7 times to make sure no one else was interested ! I have seen some breeds for real I have never seen before and still know one day I will have a whippet, a saluki and a sloughi ! its funny when you have only seen pics of dogs and they are smaller/larger in real life ! My hounds have enough treats to to last a year and Bella has a great girly bling collar, back there on Sunday on hound day , cant wait !

Sounds like a great day, I'm glad you and Bella enjoyed yourselves.

Well done on the potential rehomings too!

Mannng Discover Dogs is very rewarding isn't it? The dogs get knackered though and I never wanted to speak to anyone for about a week afterwards!

It sure is , its being on duty all day and the dogs too ! Bella is flat out now but was so proud of her especially as it was Toy and Utilty day lots of little fluffies about and she was cool ! She was showing off with her sit, paw, down ,leave it and made the training effort all worthwhile when people see you can train a grey ! And bonus in a couple of potential homes especially for the oldie !
