Crufts has areas full of wood shavings for the dogs, they even have posts for the dogs to cock their legs up. |

For those not wanting to drive (like me!) it is worth looking at the Crufts Schedule which you can donwload from the Kennel Club website. It has a section on transport & the contacts for people who are running coaches, many of which will do pick-ups at m-way service stations on the way down. Logan & I went by coach twice and it worked really well. |

Well, im going to be there on the Pro Plan stand (not sure what days yet) -and can probably offer a free cup of coffee to an TT peeps. I will definately come and see you Paula and Dudley and whoever else may be there! I spent 4 hours walking around discover dogs section last year looking mostly at the terriers as we were in the process of looking for our next doggy (which is now Peggy). We were quite taken by the Norfolk terriers but I did manage to look and cuddle lots of them whilst there :) |

Having not been before would love to know what I'm in for, other than the obvious of course, lots of preened and pruned dogs and stands etc. Halfpint1775 said she spent 4 hours looking on the Discover Dogs stand, think it might be bigger than what I'm expecting ;) |

Just to add, any chance of fellow TT peeps maybe having a discreet TT sticker on themselves so theres no chance of passing you by :lol: |

It's a long time since I went but from what I remember you need- A credit card with lots of credit A nice big comfortable bag to carry all your goodies home in Take your own food and especially drinks,the queues can be long and it's expensive VERY comfortable shoes,old trousers that won't show 5 million dog hairs and pounds of slobber after all the cuddles :D Discover dogs is to my mind the best bit oof it,I just loved being able to look at some wonderful dogs and speak to very knowledgeable enthusiastic owners. A camera with plenty of memory space to post loads of photos ;) |

We're going. We will be showing, taking two dogs a Lakeland and a SBT. Shopping wise you can get some good deals at Crufts but you have to carry it around all day, which is a pain as some parts of the place can get bottled necked. |

A good friend told me (who i should be going with/meetingthere) that you can buy tickets 'on the door'? As they may not get here in post now- is that true? ^_^ |
