Barking Mad for Crufts 2018!

Everyone is going barking mad about Crufts 2018! We were lucky enough to attend on Thursday which is the day dedicated to Working and Pastoral breeds of dog.

What is a working dog? A working dog is the type of canine who can be trained to perform tasks and tricks to assist in work or merely for entertainment such as the agility demonstrations you see on TV at Crufts. Working breeds can be used in the police, as therapy dogs, guide dogs etc. The breeds include Boxers, St.Bernards, Mastiffs, Dobermann, Komondor, German Shepherds and many more.

What is a Pastoral breed? A pastoral breed is typically referred to as a herding dog. These dogs are bred to work with livestock as guardians and to herd the animals around. The Kennel Club’s list of Pastoral breeds include, Collies, Welsh Corgies, Swedish Lapphund, Sheepdogs etc.

Upon arriving at the NEC in Birmingham, UK we were slightly overwhelmed with the size of this event, there’s so much to see and do, we would definitely recommend purchasing a show guide and looking online before you attend to plan out your day. We took our time looking around all the booths and learning about some great new products on the market, we also spent plenty of time over in the ‘Discover Dogs’ area where you can see hundreds of different dogs and breeds from countries across the world, we got slightly sidetracked in this area as we were able to cuddle the most adorable puppy.

We spoke with some fantastic charities throughout the day including rescue dogs, shelters and therapy dogs who have been assisting people with their disabilities, it was really rewarding to see how dogs can have such a positive influence on people’s lives. It was nice to be at an event dedicated to celebrating how great dogs are!

Towards the end of the day we made our way over to the Main Arena which is where you see the majority of the shows and performances on TV. The arena was huge but these dogs didn’t seem phased at all. Watching the dogs in the Freestyle Heelwork to Music category was incredible, the stories and choreography these owners and canines were able to perform was spectacular with Cinderella and her owner sweeping first prize with their Disney inspired tale. We were also able to catch the Kennel Club British Open Agility Final which was equally as impressive. This is the category where the dogs have to race around the arena in an assault course including hurdles, hoops, tunnels and the famous A frame, all of the trainers are kitted out in their sportsgear and sneakers ready to sprint as they have to lead their pups around the course at lightning speed.

If you haven’t caught any of the Crufts coverage this year we would recommend having a look at clips on Youtube or catching the livesteam on the Crufts website.

To start training your own puppy or dog we would recommend beginning with crate training as a first step before you try any of the hoops or hurdles! To check Omlet’s range of fabulous new Fido Studio dog crates, click here.

Mother Earth News Fair – Asheville, North Carolina

The Mother Earth News Fair is a sustainable lifestyle event which is held across 6 different locations annually. Omlet were lucky enough to attend the Asheville fair in North Carolina over the weekend of the 6th and 7th of May.

The shows gates opened promptly at 9.00am Saturday morning with floods of people entering to experience the fairs many workshops, talks and trade stalls. Exhibitors ranged from organic foods to tractors and everything in between. We were located opposite the GRIT stage which hosted a number of very engaging talks including some wonderful chicken keeping seminars from Patricia Foreman.

Despite the mixed weather conditions Saturday brought with it numbers of people still continued to browse the all the fair had to offer. Sunday the clouds had cleared and beautiful sunshine meant the crowds continued to explore the events diverse range of stands and lectures with many taking advantage of the weekend pass and returning for the second day.

 

Our team were on hand throughout the show to answer any questions or queries with regards to our products we were thrilled to see so many chicken keeping enthusiasts!

 

Keep your eyes peeled for Omlet at the next Mother Earth News Fair in Burlington, Vermont on the 10th and 11th of June.

America’s Family Pet Expo

img_7895We kicked off our all American summer tour this year at the America’s Family Pet Expo in Costa Mesa, CA and what a weekend to start things off!

 

We arrived at the OC Fair and Convention Center to start setting up, to exhibit we took an Eglu Cube, an Eglu Go UP, Eglu Go Hutch, Outdoor Pet Run and our brand new Fido Studio Dog Crate. Our stand was located opposite Splash Dogs which was a very entertaining spot to have as we spent all day watching the dogs rehearse for the big show over the weekend…not ideal when we were supposed to be setting up! Nonetheless we got our stand built and it looked great, we were very excited for the show to begin!

The America’s Family Pet Expo is a family friendly event that happens over 3 days in April. The expo is held at the OC Fair and Event Center which is a great venue as there’s a number of indoor and outdoor spaces for visitors to work their way around, over 70,000 visitors came to see the show over the weekend. There’s a number of different breeds and societies for people to see and ask any questions about the pets they’re thinking of getting. There is also some fantastic volunteers working for rescue charities where you can adopt pets and learn more about the adoption process. This was the first year the show had a backyard chicken keeping area which was very well received, many visitors who we spoke to either already had chickens or were thinking of getting them. We spoke to the show organiser after the show and they’re looking forward to hosting an even bigger and better chicken keeping area next year!

 

We would like to thank the Bichon Rescue of Orange County – Seniors for Seniors and The Southern California Pomeranian Rescue for exhibiting our Fido Studio 24 and to the Alaskan Klee Kai society for exbiting our Fido Studio 36, it was great to receive professional feedback from these groups and also to get the chance for so many dog lovers to see this new products.

 

The weekend was a great success, the sun was shining all weekend long, (us Brits got a tad bit burnt), we handed out a number of discount codes, balloons and bumper stickers for everyone to enjoy. Come and see us at one of our next fairs to join in the fun!

 

The Omlet US Team.
