Entering a dog into Crufts

Landy · 22 Dec 2014 at 10:36

So Basically were lucky enough to have a dog that qualified for Crufts and were trying to enter him via FosseData, but as this is our first time we are confused so was wondering if anyone has any experience in this sort of thing.

I Basically have two question, one, the account name is in both my Mum and Step dads name and my Step dad is the one who is going to do the running with Mum as an assistant, do we still need to enter my step dads details into the benching title bit etc.

Two, am i right in presuming we will have to purchase 2 passes whilst entering the dog one for Mum and one for Step dad as well as car parking spaces etc, can i purchase a pass for me as well or is only for the people showing the dog?

Yes i know all this could be answered by contacting FosseData but as i type their phone as been ringing for 34 minutes with no answer and we haven't had a response from our emails, although i have just read a message saying they are moving offices, but it should be up and running today.

I hope someone can help.

Thanks in advance

I've got a new pedigree dog breed. It's half Alsatian, half Labrador. Can I enter this dog in the Labrador section?

Labradoodle?

No - It's a quote from 'The Office'.

Relatively niche request, even for GD.

I have faith in GD though. It is Christmas after all, miracles can happen!

Oh I don't know... The combined knowledge about computers might be relevant somehow.
I'm off to find a dog forum to ask about my house insurance.

My Grandad used to show his dogs at crufts. I'm seeing him on Christmas day so can ask him no end of questions

Terrible show, organized by a group who persist in maintaining "breed standards" which have huge health implications on pedigree dog breeds.

I'll ask my mum for you, she's entered in the past 5 years. 'BRB'

*Pictures Noxia walking around the house going "MUM?!!" "MUM THE PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THE DOG".

Not far wrong. She said she needs to know who's name the dog is registered to as in single or joint?

If the dog is registered (Kennel Club) in one persons name you get one free pass. If it's joint then you get two free passes. So if you want to go then you purchase an additional pass (around £13 last year) and pay about £10 per car.
The benching title must match the details on the kennel club reg form.

If you want more info then trust message me and I'll pass her details on.

I tend to agree, but it's a bit of a pipe dream for my Mum and Stepdad, so aslong as it's something i want to do, i don't say anything, besides i think they'd agree too, "our" Bailey is in perfect health though, just in case you were wondering.

Ohhhh i don't do the running/showing or whatever you call it, i just stand and watch, Step dad does have an element of campness about him when he shows him, i will deny i ever said that though.
