Is it cold at Crufts? Showing

This sounds so stupid but i dont want to end up carrying my coat or being baked alive in a big jumper.

generally no its not, it may be early in the morning, but as the day go on, it will get warmer, don't put to heavy a coat on, there are cloakrooms to put your coats and stuff if you need them.

Wear comfy shoes and watch your bag... do any shopping early as it gets busy as the day goes by.

No. It gets very hot!!

Brill i will just wear a jumper and my rain mac. Im taking a backpak instead of my handbag as i cant be bothered carrying stuff. Wearing flat boots so should be comfy enough. Also going to pack my phone charger in the hope i can get a sneaky charge somewhere as it will die quick with me taking photos. Im so excited!!!

Thankyou everybody

im all bathed, clothes laid out, stuff for picnic bought, car fuelled up, dog checker booked, bag packed. Im ready!! i doubt i will sleep tonight im so excited. Have an old friend showing her bullmasiffs so be nice to see her and have a catch up, also meeting figo will be a highlight. I feel like a kid at christmas, my mums worried im going to end up being really disappointed and totally unimpressed.

I try again I took my shopping trolley with me & I ended up filling it with the free samples, cat free samples & the buy one get one free stalls xxx

properly gonna regret saying this as ild prob end up being a lier this time tomorrow, but i dont think ill come home with much. Food and treats - need to be cereal free or just meat, Shampoos ect - Cant use she has prescription shampoo, grooming tools - dont need due to her coat she only needs a zoom groom, bedding - got loads dont want anymore, collars and leads - im very happy with what i have and it doesnt need replacing, toys - she hardly touches what she has. so not sure what i could actually buy, but my hubby keeps saying ild find something

Believe me, the first time I went, I was amazed and it by far exceeded my expectations. Although I did find it a little less exciting last year which is why I'm giving it a miss this year. Shopping galore, and yes, there is always something to buy! You really don't even get to see half of what is on. We didn't see one display and barely saw any breed rings. The whole time was spent wandering the halls and visiting Discover Dogs, although that gets VERY busy late morning into the afternoon.

Have fun!

Try the wheat free natural dog food stalls they all do free samples or small bags for just £1 - £2 each normally 1lb or 2lb bags, I got lots of Veggie dog food samples for K9, (I must have the only dog that turns his nose up at meat) I also went to fish4dogs stalls had lots of tasters bags 20 bags for just £5.

Got some photos of Crufts 2012 :-( can't go after all this year due to seizure I had over weekend, so will be glued to the tv x
