Wow, Crufts 2026… what an experience. 🐾
Our very first Crufts and it truly didn’t disappoint. It was exciting, overwhelming, stressful and honestly exhausting — my feet are still hurting! The setup alone was one of the most intense things we’ve done 😂 but every single moment was worth it.
We put so much time, effort and heart into preparing for this show, and standing there seeing it all come together made me feel incredibly proud.
None of this would have been possible without the amazing Chic Pup team who worked so hard helping to create all of our stock, my incredible fiancé for the constant support (and patience!), and the wonderful fellow small business owners who took the time to share advice, encouragement and guidance along the way .designs . That help meant more than you know.
And of course, thank you to everyone who came to see us, stopped for a chat, supported the stand and shared such lovely feedback. Meeting so many of you was honestly one of the best parts of the whole experience.
We’re only just getting started…
Don’t forget we’ll be at lots of AADS shows and the occasional DogFest this year, so we hope to see many more of you there. 🐶✨
