The annual Crufts post! I'm not going this year, due to various reasons, but that hasn't stopped me from looking at all the posts on Facebook etc. and lamenting about all the offers/freebies I'm going to be missing out on! Not sure if alfiemummy and barley are going again this year. However, James Wellbeloved, Royal Canin and APDT have pulled out of the event amid all the coronavirus fears. Their stands have been dismantled today. Will be interesting to see if any more companies follow suit tomorrow.

You will be glued to the tv orpheous87. Shame that you're not there this year. I should imagine James Wellbeloved, Royal Canin and APDT will not be the only ones pulling out of the event. I wonder if any of the dogs will be pulling out.

Rumple and I are going! Rumple’s in a display team on Friday and competing on Saturday. We’re going up there tomorrow afternoon. Really looking forward to it! So proud of how far my boy has come, and will be a nice break from everything else too. 20CE2994-2D3A-40D2-99DF-53F23726644E by milliepup04, on Flickr

Well done milliepup04 and to Rumple. I know you will have worked very hard with Rumple to get him this far. I hope you do well at Crufts and both have a great time. He's a lovely looking dog, he looks really intelligent.

I have been lotsofcats! We can get YouTube through the TV, so I got to watch the heelwork to music on TV as well as a bit of agility. Now watching the show on Channel 4. Good luck milliepup04! I'm sure Rumple will do you proud. Forthglade, GWF Nutrition and Hill's have all pulled out since I posted yesterday. It still seems as busy as ever though, looking at then footage that's been filmed around the trade stands.

Oh well done to you both! Rumple's turned out to be a very handsome and clever boy. Your hard work has been rewarded. I'm glad you both enjoyed your day at Crufts.

What did everyone think of the winner of Crufts? I think she was very cute but I didn't choose her, I had picked the Irish Setter. I laughed so much when the winner Maisie pooped on the floor during her lap of honour. Frankie the Toy Poodle runner up reminds me of Willow in her mad mood.

Well done milliepup04 you have done wonders with Rumple. Hes a lovely looking boy don't take this the wrong way but I hate those collars with the pointed studs on probably because they remind me of the dangerous dogs , before they were banned in the uk sorry xxx

Thank you lotsofcats and scallywag! He is a lovely boy now (to me anyway!) he’s come on such a long way. scallywag no offence taken with the collar! He only wore it on Saturday, had his superhero one the day before! We were going for attitude, I knew we wouldn’t win and Rumple certainly has attitude! Plus he is part pit bull and has been known to eat people...

Bit late to this one lol but yes barley and I did go this year and had a fantastic time as usual! We noticed all of the missing stands but can't say it was any quieter than usual for visitors.
