I think I'm getting a concussion from fainting from all these gorgeous beings. I'm totally smitten with both the BGVs. I've never seen the Greater one before.

Annie, the PBGV's stole my DH's heart too. If it weren't for his promise that I get to choose the next breed (though he does have veto power) I think we'd wind up with one. Last breed I'd ever expect him to fall for, but there you are lol.

Ok, so totally off topic, but I had to tell you, I love this quote: "I don't know why Francine's mad at me for always being right, I don't get mad at her for always being wrong!" - Stan Smith, American Dad

Yikes! it looks like that Ibizian hound's owner needs to share some of her food with her dog Wink

Fantastic pictures Kate on all three posts!

I watched Crufts on TV and listened to it everyday on the radio....I was addicted, couldn't make it this year have been sooo busy but I am already arrangin time off for it for next year!

The Pharoah Hound was gorgeous and so was the beagle, when he got into the last 7 I really really wanted him to win!
Did you see the first in line of the last 7?? The Shiba? Handler Janice Bannister?? Well she was Jazzie's breeder, she lives 2hrs away from us in Telford, I so wanted her to win too, she has been working hard with her Shiba's and going to Ireland quite a bit and is doing very well with them, it would have been nice to see her get Best in Show, maybe next time!

Thanks for the pictures, maybe meet up with you there next year if you go?

Kate, I DREAM of having a hound. I'd love an Otter Hound but I'm not sure that I have what an Otter Hound needs. Now a Peeb is more my size & they are so darned cool looking. I selfishly hope you get one. Big Smile

Wow, great pictures!

Never heard of a Hamiltonstovare, but the contrasting colors are striking!

Claire, I did see the Shiba, it was a lovely dog! How cool is that, that she's Jazzie's breeder?! I might have a pic, I'll sort through them and if I do, I'll post if for you. We can meet up anytime, I still think Ben needs a day on the beach when the weather improves a little!

And yes, there will be more pics.
