Theres probably some very clean and shiny dogs tucked up in bed by now.

GOOD LUCK for tommorow everyone.

Good luck from me as well

Don't know about clean and shinny William does a very good job of turning himself yellow just before a big show

Well it's now 5.11am The food is ready. The dog is clean..ish .Just need to get OH and Ben up load the car and we'll be on our way.

And no I wasn't planning on being up at silly oclock this mprning but some one decided I should be up at 4am give you one clue who he's big white and going to crufts!!!!!!!!! He woke up Tegan's devil pups and that was it end of sleeping

How did it go then?

The BBC coverage was as rubbish as usual. They need to be more general and stop homing in on specific breeds, especially those clipped things.

Unfortunately the judge didn't like Wilie he came 5th in his first clas and did nothingin his second . But later loking on the crufts result pages there was a lot of big wining greyhounds placed very low in clasesand the dogs sh placed were al very diferent in type now cintinuety in her judging With some judges you can tel what they are loking for but not with her.
We have now decided Wiliam is going to take a year out of the ring to let him mature as at 3 years old he is stil very much a baby in the way a greyhound can mature



On a good note apat from the goodies that you get as a exhibitor Willie also managed to earn himself a free coat A lady asked if she could take a picture of him wearing a coat she made as she had lost her greyhound and wanted a picture of a grey wearing one .They took some photos then gave Wilie the coat as a thank you it is a black flece with multi coloured paw prints one you certainly don't look at when you've had too much to drink

and willie looks the bee's knee's in his new coat

Can't believe a tibetian terrier won. My mother in sin had one, cost an arm and a leg and it was the nastiest dog from start to finish. It seems to be well documented that they are unstable, shame crufts don't judge at bit more than just looks on the day.
Great to see an iggy got 4th.
