I Haven't entered the Melb Royal this year, the first one I have missed in #$%#@! years, all because of the debarcle at last years show. I had to remove a child with fairy floss from my Open dogs neck, and then to try to get to the ring was ridiculous, no walkway free of public. The photographer took pity on me and let me go through his area, as they were callng my number, otherwise I would not have got to the ring at all. Then after the show, having to run through red clay for a couple of hundred metres in the pouring rain. No I can do without that this year.
I haven't entered the Melb Royal this year due to we have a litter of Pappy Pups born Fathers Day, we went last year & did 4 days, what a Nightmare public wise trying to get to the rings . I actually caught some kid trying to feed the dog next to us, I stoped it, (we were watching the dog while the owner ducked off to the toilets). Next year we are taking our crates for the dogs Pappie & Whippet.
Public should be bared from the Benching area,
