If you look at Page 4 of the schedule it says passes will not be sent out which seems to indicate nothing will be posted but there is no mention what is happening re: online entries and self downloadables

You picked your EFG Open Show schedule up at Crufts (or downloaded it from the website), you made the mental note to fill it in and send it but have you actually done it yet? It’s unusual these days to get the chance of food, money, specials, trophies and other goodies at a show but it’s all there for the taking…..and you can do two shows in one day with a venue being shared with Birmingham Gundog & Terrier  with 10 breed classes being offered

So you saw the dogs at Crufts….

Some are a bit butch in looks and others totally cuddly. You’ve now had chance to go through all your brochures, leaflets and photographs from Discover Dogs. You’ve read the websites and followed the links and a terrier is definitely, absolutely for you. Just remember though that all terriers are this:-
