LOL! My first show was not only a champ show (or the French equivalent) but an INTERNATIONAL! Shocked

And no ringcraft classes before hand either (except remotely by video link! LMAO) And imagine my horror to find my pooch didn't have enough teeth when I had been stupidly only checking bite (don't worry, they don't count teeth in the UK...for the time being... Wink

) It can't get much more mebarassing that that!!

Relax and enjoy! Laughing

Fledgling, the show is at Stoneleigh near coventry.

Just back from ringcraft. Scampy didn't do too badly - just me that has to focus Laughing

Her stand is improving well, just have to work more on keeping her square and try to get her tail wagging. The walking bit is harder but that is deffo me rather than her. 3 more ringcraft classes before the show!!!

Okay, stupid question time.......
Will we get entry stuff through the post or do we just pitch up?
Do I have to take her kennel club registration stuff with me?
Is there a special lead thingy I need or is it just her normal slip lead?

Good Luck for al entred.....especially the first-timers!

Ally - no passes sent through the post, if you ordered a catalogue, make that the first thing you do when you get there is go collect it - then you will see your dogs name 'in lights', so to speak and know your number - tbh I'm not sure how they do it at Stoneleigh cos I know it's not benched.
But ask at the secretarys desk - where the catalogues should be and they will explain to you how it works!

No reg papers needed!

Get a show lead! - as she's yellow order this one

in old ivory and use this for practise at ringcraft.

See you there Very Happy
