Crufts

[Arkkorox]

Anyone watching?

Ooh Scottie showed well, as is saluki, ooh poodle too (malamute not so much) Maltese is sweet.

Flatcoat please !

How sweet is the Maltese. Looks so happy.

Oh nooooooo!

Ahh lovely, the owner of the flatcoat was really shocked!

SistersOfPercy!!!!!!

aton well Dublin came second!

Scottie showed well - really pleased the flattie got some recognition

Glad the flat coat came second. do not like that Scottie though

The Scottie did show well - but IMO not as well as the FC - but I'm biased. My own FC was not at all interested in watching the final - he went back to his sofa in the kitchen!

I think the maltese looks like a winner, they always have a kind of star quality that shines through, I think.
My favourites are the terriers and hounds, but I like them all.

Wilf became FB friends with Knopa last night so he will be ecstatic!!

We were playing the game at home too.

Got the Scottie but didn't get the flat coat. Thought the maltese or the beardie would have got it.

I wonder if Dionyssus was one of the people in the crowd being interviewed ? wouldn't that be great !
I didn't know you could facebook a dog (am not on it) but how exciting it must be for a youngster !

wish I was there. the atmosphere must be amazing

The saluki moves like a ballet dancer - beautiful
perky little maltese.
Loving this

Delighted that the flat coat came second (although should have come first). Relieved that the walking shag pile wasn't placed

Sisters - heh heh, yes he did! I don't often get that sort of thing right!
Well done, Dublin.

I thought the Maltese might have won.

Saluki was gorgeous.

Shame it's all over, oh well. Just have to start preparing my parents daft, sorry, highly intelligent springers for crufts 2016. NOT!!! Hahaha....

I would have bet on the maltese (not that I know anything about breed standards)
The scotties handler was irritating to watch
I thought the flat coat was the kind of dog I would like to take home. Couldn't cope with all the grooming some entail.

Yes, I agree, All that brushing was borderline OCD.
Was it the winning scotties handler who combed his hair and then stuck the comb back in her own hair? Yuk.

Flat coats are great dogs to live with unless you get pissed off by eternal optimists - always hopeful and alert for the possibility of food, walk, play or affection . I love them, but some people find them too demanding.

The scotties hair was probably cleaner and had been given more attention than the handlers though

Catsrus - very true !

I live with DH. A flatcoat sounds like a doddle.

I love optimistic dogs . We always say that if Ddog kept a diary every single entry would begin: 'BEST DAY EVER!!!!'

Surprised you all didn't hear the screech of joy from the Percy house tonight.
As I sat and watched perfectly groomed knopa I had a very stretched out, snoring murph on my knee who's beard was literally full of the Sunday lamb lunch he'd just eaten. As I picked bits of mint sauce out of his whiskers I realised he's never going to be a show dog

Really happy, though I hope this doesn't lead to an explosion of inexperienced Scottie owners, they are stubborn little terriers and not for someone who wants the latest fad dog. Also, anyone else wanting knopa's handler to put down the brush and give her a bloody big hug!?

Yes I thought that! Stop brushing, you've won already.

Probably didn't know what the hell was going on. You wouldn't, would you?
