Hi Cody  when did you spring up

Yesterday! Hehe! I checked back on Staffiearus yesterday and found this lovely site! Thanks for the welcome message, really made me chuckle!

Congrats with Tommy though, really pleased for you both!! my dads cousin will be showing one of his staffords! Have you heard of a man called Paul Saunders? Pretty sure he'll be showing Snowy, she's all black

I'm very free Ella ............. or was that very cheap , can't remember lol , well if you don't catch up before Tommy is in Undergraduate Class , judging starts at 08.30 for the boys and its the fifth class of the morning so will be surprised if they kick off before 10.30 . We anticipate classes of 20-25 on average and apparently its 2 mins to look over each dog so prob a good 50 mins per class .

You may even catch me in my boxers getting changed if Andy's girls classes clash and I have to put my shirt and tie on and go in , but I am ready for it if need be

Wow small world I know Paul from FB and we met a few weeks ago at a show , lovely lad . The world is surprisingly small and even smaller when you own a Stafford lol

Well if you think about half 10 that gives chance to have a wonder about and find ours bearings and then hopefully come and see Tommy's class

Here's my mobile # ,  send me a txt and I will store you and txt you all let you know where we are

have sent you a text dave

Ahhh very small indeed!! I don't really have much to do with him, but he popped in with his dogs to see us a while back after competing in a show in Lichfield! pretty cool that you know him though

Oy, you! Keep the personal info to PMs, or you'll get Mr Crazy stalking your voicemails!

Do you really think he would take me on in anything but emails     

he's not that brave dave!

Yaaaaaaay, I'm going tomorrow!

Probably not on Friday, though.

Woooohoooo!

Dempsey will be on his own for about 6 hours, but he'll cope with that, I'm sure!

Six hours on a one-off occasion should be fine - he'll get a good load of exercise before we leave, then again when we come back. He's a lazy dog - he'll probably sleep through the day and never notice we've gone!

See you all tomorrow those going

Well, it was really nice to meet people & put faces to the names today!

Dave's Tommy was in a class of 25 & got pulled out into the last 7! What a fantastic result, congratulations. Also, Tommy's older sister got first place in her class. A great day for Dave, Tommy & Tommy's breeders.

P.s. Tommy looks gorgeous in photos, but even better in the flesh!  

Oh what fantastic news re Tommy, Dave must be thrilled. Did he handle Tommy?

I've just stopped watching More4's coverage - it was interesting and very wide ranging but I was hoping to see more of the showing, and not just the Best of Group. And I've no idea what won the Group, because of Football!   

Great to meet you Caryll, Dave and Lynne it's been a bloody good day out and well done Dave and Tommy! x

I think the Crufts website has some clips of the showing, Lynda!

Wish I could have gone and met you all Maybe next year!

Oh and thank you Eleanor for my card and pressie

Welcome!

Oooh, never thought of that! Thanks Eleanor!

I too wish I could have met you all, but it was not to be.
