SkySoaringMagpie Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Some of the passes are single use only passes without pass out. DG, if you don't get a pass out and you are successful on Saturday and need to go back Sunday, go to the office window and ask them for a pass for Sunday. This would also apply to breeds on Thursday where a pass is not required for entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a ghastly disaster when it comes to understanding what is written plainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceilidh Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 So does anyone know if we were supposed to get a car pass and entry passes with our numbers? Like other years? I didn't get anything this year other than the breed breakdown, my number and some safety information. I did get any passes either, but I read in the fine print that as we are on on thursday you don't need a car pass Thanks for that, we are on Thursday and I guess I should have read the fine print LOL!

dog geek Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 .... so.... had a nightmare last night about being at the Royal and ending up somehow involved in an unspecified serious criminal act... Woke just as the police were arriving, I am very stressy about the whole showing thing deep down, apparently!!! Anyone else have any entertaining dreams before showing?

Alyosha Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Sounds like an interesting dream!! I don't normally, although I can tend to revert to fingernail chewing while driving there. I hate being late but almost always am!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog geek Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Lol, Alyosha - I have this "syndrome" where if I am not 10 minutes *early* I am panicking about being late...so turning up for shows is doing my head in, I want to be *an Hour* early!!!

I'm sure Sway will update us when it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumabaar Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) Hmmm it now looks like I will be showing my dogs in between flyball races with my mum pulling out of going. Dont laugh TOO hard when you see a muddy grotty girl with blue hair taking in the primped kelpie and Lappie in the show ring. Although I can hope that I havent stacked it by that point-I ALWAYS stack it at Canberra Royal! :laugh: :laugh: Edited February 19, 2012 by Jumabaar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dog geek Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 This will be my first ever entry at the Royal - I am *thrilled* beyond measure!!! I have made, for the last twenty years, my best efforts to at least walk past the dog rings every Royal Canberra Show - despite my poor kids' heartfelt pleas to get to the showrides ASAP!! I have pined after each and every beautiful dog I saw, and met (briefly) some very patient, very pleasant exhibitors. Every time I have dragged my feet through the passageways, resisting my darling offsprings' groans of boredom (and increasingly strident demands to Get To The Show Immediately), I have counted off the years until my longterm goal's target year. That was last year. This year, I am "dipping my toe in the water", having had two expeditions out to Specialities, and several missed shows where circumstances did not allow me to present my dogs to the judge. And - icing on the cake - my boy is in coat (yay) and has emerged out the other side of the Teenage Monster Phase as a confident, happy little guy I am proud to have on the end of the lead. So if I am OTT and waaaaaaay manic on Friday - please give me the benefit of the doubt, I have been building up to this day for a couple of decades, and may be a tad... enthusiastic. Cheers - and here is hoping the weather is kind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salukifan Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'm not doing the Royal (American judge + English style dogs = nope) But I am doing the Hound Show on Saturday arvo. Just went and tried on my new show suit and it fits perfectly :) Looking forward to catching up with some out of state Houndees there. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyosha Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'm not doing the Royal (American judge + English style dogs = nope) I'm hearing you on that one!! I'm only taking 2. But will have a few at the Hound Club show if anyone wants to pop by and say hello. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly judges know about the difference in the standard but I reckon you're still up against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alyosha Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 :laugh: Yep. I'm not about to clip off my dog's ears and scissor shape into them like poodles in the US style so I may be up against it too! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
