northstandsteve

Lovely mate, just like boys football dont live your dreams through your dog ;-)

nth_london_addick

lol my dreams never involve a show ring, never wanted to be in a circus,

you missed a good game today mate , it was your sort of game very good technically , dale was amazing

Hi NLA
If I was you double check that Manchester is a qualifier for Schnauzers as I do not think CC's are on offer for them, it will be classed as an open show, so please
check before entering.

I too thought DS was a class act today.

nth_london_addick

Last qualifier for crufts its being advertised as

I was under the impression buba was the last cc oportunity but got the brochure yesterday and it said last qualifier for crufts

Dansk_Red

This is the first year that Manchester has been the last qualifier. This is mainly due to online entries which has shortened the process time. I have read the Crufts entry requirements and I stand corrected.

nth_london_addick

I always thought we only had up until buba but found out sat we have an extra chance

nth_london_addick

So its the night before my second competition and Lola is prepped and ready , she has had a little of the Rescue Remedy as she is a bit hyper at the mo with the Forth Coming season ,

We are up in Barnsley for the Nthn Schnauzer and this time I am going just me and Lola , The wife has her Baby scan and although I really want to be there she has said I should go to the show

So I hope I don't screw up and Lola acts as good as she did at Ring Craft

fingers Crossed

Miserableoldgit

Blimey, you must really love that dog, its bad enough going to Barnsley to see the Addicks.

nth_london_addick

I love my dog mog me and lola are a team , its quite funny because she a 1 man woman

T_C_E

Good luck D, fingers crossed for you both. How did she travel?

nth_london_addick

going up at 4 am mate, it was over a hundred quid for me and the dog in a room, plus the fuel and entry I cant justify that spend, when I took her to wales she travelled fine, so I am gambling on her doing the same, the rescue remedy I hope will keep her calm, and on point for tomoz, I am to be there by 11 and make sure that I find a good doggy walking place on way, so that I can get her stretched out,

I cant get her mucky though so no woods or parks,

she knows something is happening as I gave her some nice diced steak, and she has being brushed, pulled and shaved today and looking buff

northstandsteve

Please tell me you aint missing Leeds for a fuckin dogs show, shakes his head in disbelief

northstandsteve

As Joe would say you aint proper.

nth_london_addick

priorities have change mate, Lola getting to Crufts is very important, and I want her to have as many CC's as I can, its an addictive thing to be involved in, I know its laughable but its a real buzz,

I thought I would hate it but I don't,

i have done my proper bit , now i am picking and choosing, in the past leeds like games would be a must but no longer i am ashamed to say

Keep your eyes open, you may spot a handler doing nothing that's prepared to handle Lola for you. It'll only cost a fiver or maybe a tenner.

good shout mate never thought of that

northstandsteve

What the fcuk are CC's

nth_london_addick

champion certificates, you need them for crufts and i am not sure how many you need for your dog to be classed a champion

Carter

Im with northstandsteve on this


What has happened to you?!!??!!?

northstandsteve

I reckon he has started to take it up the arris.

nth_london_addick

not boozing at football that's happened to me

northstandsteve

You best go support Watford mate.

Dansk_Red

CC's are awarded to best the Best Dog and the Best Bitch in a breed at Championship Shows you have to get 3 CC's under 3 different judges to become a champion. I have been involved in dog showing for over 30years mainly driving the other half up and down the country from Edinburgh to Exeter and all points in between missed two home games so far this season. Good Luck NLA. and Lola. (to qualify for Crufts you have to get 1st 2nd or 3rd in your class).

nth_london_addick

lol enfield town for me mate 5 min walk ,

The problem I is am being so careful not to get caught, having 2 pints of cider and getting in my car, even though it should be under the limit, If I got caught and was not that's the knowledge gone life fukd, this keeps me focused

AFKABartram

Never read this thread as I don't like dogs.

Good luck nla. I hope you are well groomed and sporting a pretty bow

northstandsteve

yer he's had his hair done, should go down well in the summer when he's prancing around in his shorts with his tattoo's on show.

fatrob

This is also the bloke who can't stand dogs.

nth_london_addick

Couldn't stand dogs

Shorts off and changed into my suit

Shitting it and as nervous as hell your banter keeping me chilled

She looks good but being this close to her first season she is really acting up and being a bit frisky with every dog

T_C_E

Good luck D.
