Crufts Checklist
As the big day approaches, here is a checklist and some
basic etiquette for visitors going to Crufts. Unashamedly stolen but true. Thank
you to Megan Smyth for finding this on Facebook and sharing the good-humoured
advice.
1. Wear comfy shoes and loose clothing. You'll
walk more than you've ever done for your own trainer.
2. Drink plenty of fluids (not Prosecco.)
Air-conditioning will turn you into a prune.
3. Bring the family jewels as cash and cards
are not enough.
4. Don't forget to clear out thousands of
selfies on your phone to free up memory.
5. Bring food unless you want to pay £20 for a
coffee and sarnie, but avoid garlic or onion as you'll be no more than 10 inches
from the next person.
6. When using shopping trolleys, avoid docking
dogs' tails with the wheels whilst stampeding to the next scissor stall.
7. Bring a folding stool or chair. Some
benches are covered in slobber, and the meeting point resembles Glastonbury at
lunchtime, Saves you sitting on the floor.
8. Turn off flashes if you are taking photos
of dogs up close. Either the dog will freak or you may end up with a pin brush
up your bum.
9. Take a drone with you to locate your car
after the event.
10. Ask before you ruffle, cuddle or stroke a
dog - especially a Poodle ready to go into the ring as the owner may bite!
12. Get a tag with your name and contact
details of relatives on it if you are planning on drinking. A safe return
guaranteed.
12. Most of all enjoy the day. Celebrate
everything dog and make memories.
Have a fab week, Lakhi
