you have to enter gamekeepers as snail mail as you need to send in the form signed by your keeper - But you knew that and are just testing us all

Hi Caz
I will be at Crufts in the GWP Classes, closer to the time we will have to arrange to met up, I think Helen is going too.

I am going but I'm pretty sure Teal will be in season. If she is, I'll still go as it will be a day trip for me by then.

Things to remember to do at Crufts:
Go to the Brittany ring and say loudly that I prefer the longer legged variety 
Go to the Weimaraner ring and ask where are the `blue' ones
Go to the Large Munsterlander ring and proclaim the `brown ones work better'
Go see the German Long Hairs and ask if they come in Black and White  ( I do every year anyway  )
Go to the GSP ring and tell them that the GWP have overtaken them in the working side
Go to the GWP ring and say what lovely soft coats they have now:!:
Go to the Viszla ring and say how nice the NSDTR's are looking these days
 Oh and remember to wear my `I'm the famous windembang' tee shirt

Peter, I can see you were born with the wooden spoon in your hand rather than the silver one
Wish I was going (can't be bothered, can't afford it, judge doesn't suit, dogs permanently qualified anyway) so I could follow you around saying these things.

I believe one has to comment on the clipping on a Brittany and ask the LMs how they teach the 'spaniel' hunting technique.

Don't forget to ask at the GWP ring if they are the Spinone being judged

Peter, I find it easy enough to get most of doggie showdom after my blood without anyone making perfectly reasonable remarks or asking very sensible questions while wearing my " Windem Bang!" teashirt
I must admit questions like - Can it find its dinner in a dish?
Does it point game with its feet or its teeth?
Does it quarter the ground or do you?
Does it retrieve externally or internally?
Have all from time to time occured to me
I once attended a dog show at Ingleston along with a well known G.S.P. man. We had a good time in the beer shed before scrutinising the competitors in the G.S.P. ring. When I say we scrutinised the competitors I mean the handlers not the dogs.One in particular that both of us self apointed judges studied was a local guy who never works his dog. He was dressed as if out for a fashion parade on a grouse moor. The brogues, the fancy socks with flashings, beautiful plus twos straight from the shop and the ironing board, a luverly lightly frilled shirt <  > with wee laces at the throat, a jacket stolen from a hieland piper (I think?) and a funny hat with feather!
This gentleman did the full showring pose with one hand holding up his dogs lolling head and the other hand we thought only possessed three fingers until we realised the fourth was probably being used as a sort of rectal thermometer!
We unanimously decided he was the prize winner and didn't wait to see if the judge agreed or not. We returned to the beer shed and drank to his success.
Surely I don't need anyone wearing the tea -shirt to help get me into trouble at dog shows!
