sorry guys, im becoming a pest! my mentor is in sweden at the moment so cant ask her these questions. im filling in my online entry for blackpool (i know its almost closed but was struggling to get weekend off work) i have a 6 month old puppy, can i enter him into minor puppy and puppy classes, or should i just go for the one class? also, it says its a crufts qualifying show, does this apply to all classes ie puppy and adult? (wishful thinking i know!) thanks!

you can enter both and yes if you get a 1st 2nd or 3rd in m puppy or puppy you qualify for crufts

> does this apply to all classes ie puppy and adult?

Usually selected classes - Minor Puppy - Puppy - Junior - Yearling - Post Grad - Limit & Open, no other classes count hope I am right.

Oh, and if your breed has CCs it is only shows where they are on offer.

Re: entering both classes if it were me I would enter Minor Puppy with a baby at 6 months - as the puppy class will have the older pups in but guess it does depend on the breed and if you are happy to do both for experience.

In setters they do tend to look very babyish compared to an older pup!

ive just entered minor puppy in end, he will just be over 6 months and very gangly at the moment! thanks.
