Towards the end of 2004 I decided that I would go to the Trophy show in the UK in February 2005. It was a trip that I wanted to make years ago but was never able to go. The trip was only going to be short (2 weeks) and I would miss out on Crufts but friends were able to keep the dogs longer so I decided to include Crufts and a special week trip to Germany to visit my family who lives there. I also spent several days in Singapore catching up with my cousins and email friends.
This trip would not have been able to have gone ahead had it not been for the generous hospitality of family and friends both here and overseas;
Special thanks must go to my hosts whilst I was there, Bill and Carolyn Lambert (Caliber Bull Terriers) (UK), Terry and Jo Hyland (Terjos Bull Terriers) (Northern Ireland), Stella Yfantidis (cousin in Singapore) and the Chatzidimitriou family (cousins in Germany). Without them this trip would not have been possible and I thank them all for making it a memorable one.
Here are photos of my stay, places I saw and some of the dogs that I saw.
