So I am thinking of trying Thomas at a few shows to see how he gets on. I have looked on the GCCF show list and cannot seem to find any anywhere near me (East Yorkshire) till next summer. I am also lookinh at TICA and the next one I can see which is anywhere near me is Brigg, Lincolnshire in March.
Does anybody know of any in Yorkshire/Lincolnshire before March that I may have overlooked.

A few people have advised that I should start him as early as possible but if I wait till March he will be 7 months old. Is this too late? I don't want to travel him long distances for his first few shows. He didn't enjoy the trip home in the car from his breeders (2 hrs) so I may have to take him on a few short drives to get him used to travelling.

Wigan is about 2 hrs away and Notts 1hr 45 ish so I suppose not too far as it took 2 hours coming back from the breeders. Maybe I will do as i suugested earlier and take him on a couple of short car journeys in the mean time. The vets is onlt a five minute drive so hardly anything at all, maybe a few trips out would be a good plan.

Thank you for looking for me, I just didn't know if maybe there are other places I wasn't looking.

I still think I will do the TICA one in March too.

Whereabouts in North Lincs are you? Just wondering as you're prob quite near me, i'm in Hessle

Looking at the Notts one on 21st jan. Entries close Monday. Need to decide tonight if to go or not really eeek

I'm near Scunthorpe so under an hour away

cannae afford Notts as well as the others I have scheduled cos as well as show entries I have stall fees it's a good show if you go though

__________________

You will prob find that most GCCF shows are extending there entry dates at the moment as numbers have been down , if you ring the show manager they can advise if the date has been extended or not...1hr 45mins isnt too far to travel really, although i must say we are very lucky as our lads dont mind travelling , we dont hear them while they are in the car , i can only imagine if a cat didnt like travelling , just driving down the road with a cat howling like a banshie would be too much...........good luck.......Chris

On the way home he cried for half an he poor lad, but settled down for the rest of the way. I wonder if it is too far to go to Notts at such an early stage. Doesn't give much time for him to get used to travelling on a few little trips. Might just start taking him with me on short journeys.

Will call the show manager and check if I do have more time to consider it
