It would be brilliant to see people in person with their terrorists or other dogs. I'll be there the Sunday before too as it is the heeler fun day (Dill will probably walk home in disgust when he realises there will be no working :unsure: involved)

I'm getting worried now! The flyers are designed; the specially-designed canvas shoppers are designed and ordered (will post a photo of one when they come back) Please, please cross-post: grab people in the street you see with a ginger dog (or any other dog) if you live in the North West :rolleyes: We need lots of entries for Roo Roo to judge :yay:

Total Gas Bag! Posts: 5,737 Group: Full Members Member #134 Joined: November 17, 2005	I'm sure you'll get a great turnout, especially with judge Roo Roo! How about getting in contact with Welsh/Lakie/Smooth/Wire/Vulnerable Breeds breed writers for the two weekly papers? They publish their email addresses at the end of their weekly columns and must be desperate for something to put in each week. I'm sure that would get the local terrier owners support.

The first one I did was for native Irish breeds and it went really well. We didn't have huge numbers, but we got more than enough to make a profit and we had talks on all the native Irish breeds - including a really interesting comparrision between working and show Irish setters. The next time we invited all the native terrier breeds and I contacted all the breed notes writers in Our Dogs and Dog World: went to shows to hand out flyers and got lots of people saying they would come. It was actually the worst turnout we've ever had. Of the show people who said they would come, we had amazing support from the Dandies - but little else. We still made a profit and had a great day, but for all the effort I made talking to the show fraternity, it really didn't turn out to be a productive use of my time. Sad because I was really looking forward to seeing loads of native terrier breeds. The rat relay race is run in teams of 4. Each person has to run over to a box full of straw, put their hand in and pull out a rat :yikes: Fortunately, they are actually tennis balls covered in grey fabric with ears and eyes and a tail!!! Then they have to put the rat in a child's fishing net and run back before passing the net to the next person and dog. It started off as a children's race but the adults actually get much more into it when it is their turn! The potato race is where you put a potato on your head and walk with your dog in a straight line. The last person to lose their potato is the winner. :)
