Elsie Grey has been selected as one of the twelve finalists in a DFS competition I think the winner will be advertising their sofa's on TV advert! Will know by the middle of Sept . If she wins....just hope Elsie Grey does not do one of her Famous Party piece Skiddies on their Sofa..... or I will never live it down

She will definitaley win If that's not brilliant way to sell a sofa then I dont know what is!

Thanks Houndy, she did well to get to the 12 finalists, think there were 100's entered! I had to send a few pics and write a little piece about her. So fingers crossed, we shall see what happens!
It's a good job you can't see the end of sofa where it has been chewed on the arms...Ooops

do you get a prize if she wins, eg a new sofa for her to relax on.

That would be nice Cal....I might get a seat then! I don't think there is a prize. But DFS are sponsering Crufts this year.....shame Elsie Grey has not qualified this year yet Perhaps they will let Elsie Grey open the Show

Good Luck Daisy May & Elsie Grey, hope we all see her on TV soon.

Thanks Rob.... just hope she behaves if she does win....I suppose if she does play up, we will be on 'You've Been Framed' instead!

Yes all i can do is to echo Robb's comment - good luck Elsie Grey - I really hope that she wins - dreaming of sofas! We thought that we had cracked the seating problems in our house and got a couple of these poang chairs (or however you spell them!!)= dogs can't get in them. Wrong Clunie and our new dh puppy Tulla have worked out exactly how comfy they are!!! Back to the drawing board....

Thanks Clunie

I would give up on the seat thing.....the dogs will always win, they do like their comfort

Ooh, that's wicked, I have a DFS sofa too. They must pay you if they use her picture. Fingers, toes and paws crossed, I know I am biased, but she is heads above other dogs!!!

Hi we also think that elsie grey should get paid, look what all these so called superstars get they get millions for advertising she should at least get a new couch and some bones to chew on

well done daisy may hope you are the winner you could the have the caption "so far so good!" Really though daisy may GOOD LUCK love Annette and Lana xxx

Thanks everyone for your support. I am sure that there is not a prize, the competition was organised by The Animal Health Trust, so it must be a charity thing. A couple of new sofa's would be nice though! Evidently the Director of DFS will choose the winner.....might be a small dog person, not a houndy!
But fingers crossed, she could make it yet It would be fun to have Elsie Grey on TV Would be great to represent this beautiful breed for us all!

No, I definitely think the hound would give a much better idea of total comfort - the picture says it all really. Best of luck and hope to see her on TV soon.

Thanks, could not agree more....a Deerhound really does know how to relax on a sofa Will know if Elsie Grey has won by middle of Sept!

Best of luck!! Deerhounds are sofa experts. No bigger lounge lizard than a Deerhound

Still waiting to hear....should know in a few weeks!!!!! Have had words with Elsie Grey.....If she wins, she better be on her 'Best Behaviour' or I will ban her from the sofa

How exciting. You'll have to let us know as soon as you find out.

Good luck Elsie Grey,if you win,it might make all those awful sofa adverts worth watching!!
