Not enough in my experience!
I'd double it and then at least you'll have some to drink whilst you watch us trying to remember how to put ours up....

Depends on how many people are standing around offering advice.
Personally I'd opt for more, its got to be cheaper than GF prices.
In life, it is important to know when to stop arguing with people and simply let them be wrong.

As a handler, its impossible to make your dog perform better than it is, but very easy to make it perform far worse.

At a game show last year, I waited until the afternoon of the last day and bought myself a Purdy shooting jacket. It had been £450 for the 2 days and I had been watching it as I knew they drastically reduced the prices. I got it for £200 on the Sunday. Bargain!!

I find the Midland much the best for reductions as it is the last one of the season. I view the CLA as more of a social event.

Ditto but it still costs me money as I don't always make the Midland. I'm going to be watching the dogs so hopefully that should keep me out of harms way but........
