Cruft and Wales 2012

Last weekend was the Crufts in England. We went there with Mango. We left on Friday morning. After a long day we arrived in the evening in Wales. On Saturday we were in the booth at Discover Dogs. Here were all races  represented who are at Crufts. We were there for the hamilton hound. Many people came to visit us and Mango was a living sign. He got lots of hugs this day.In the evening Pam is with us and she has taken Mango his son Sputnik with her. We have a nice evening and enjoy both gentlemen. Sunday was the show day for the hounds. For us it was once again clearly that showing in England  stink of favoritism. We had been given specially Mango another name because if we  would say Mango we were out there immediately. But if you seen things between  staff, judge and exhibitor you already know enough. Ultimately, the best dog was a little ugly dog. The reserve male had a bad topline. The male was also BOB and was smaller than the female. A big joke. This show we will soon forget.

 On Monday we take a lovely walk with Mango. During the morning we leave for home. We arrive after a long day at 2 o'clock at night back home

We had many happy pictures with us. The Hamilton is more than just a hound.

A lot of people are looking to Mango.
