March 9th 2006 was our first ever Crufts showing Harvey. We travelled up to Birmingham to stay in a hotel the night before - it was quite an interesting night as the hotel had a power cut all night, so we sat in the room by torchlight drinking Champagne!!!

We got to Crufts very early and had a fantastic bench which was on the end of a row next to the ring so we had good seats to watch the classes. He seemed quite settled, watching the world go by.....



The time ticked by and soon his class was up. We had no (as we never do) expectations that Harvey would get placed (which he didn't!), and just wanted him to behave himself and look as smart as he could and he didn't let us down. He stacked well and moved brilliantly too, and just enjoyed himself in the ring as he always does. You can just make us out in these pictures in the ring...





Then we had the rest of the day to relax, let Harvey sleep and enjoy the whole event. It was a very special day for us all and the atmosphere was fantastic. We were very proud of him and see it is as the highlight of his show achievements!!!!
