Last year we only did 3 champ show and crufts. One of those was the hound association champ show and the other 2 were breed club shows. We wil probably be doing the same this year. I also have the iggie to get out this year but I will also have to think about what shows he goes too as well.

We now have a small car a 1.2 clio so I can get a coupleof the whippets in there and it doesn't cost a lot to go to the shows. We are looking at getting rid of my dog car a chryster voyager and getting a small diesel van for the dogs then I can get to more shows.

Its not too bad travel wise for us living in Staffordshire we get quite a few champ shows at Stafford show ground which is local for us. Its just a case of our breed being on a weekend rather than thursday or friday. We are missing Manchester as that falls on a friday for us.

freya , yes you are luckier than most with easy access to alot of Champ shows, for me the nearest one with CC's is Bournemouth , we have no cc's at Southern Counties now.
I have a judging appointment this Sunday , just cost me over £55 to fill car up and it'll need topping up on way home.!
