It is said to be the biggest dog show in the world! I am not a big fan of dog shows, but I do love to see all the different breeds and the other events too like obdience and agility. This is what it consists of....
Breed Judging
Crufts will be a truly international dog show with dogs from many parts of the world competing for the prestigious title of 'Best In Show'.
Thursday 6th March - Gundog
Friday 7th March - Working & Pastoral
Saturday 8th March - Terrier & Hound
Sunday 9th March - Toy & Utility
Discover Dogs
Vistors will have the opportunity to see over 180 breeds of pedigree dog each day. Experts will be on hand to answer questions on choice, care and training.
Good Citizen Dog Scheme Ring
With the help of celebrities, the Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme Ring will host a variety of demonstrations to show dog owners that there is no great mystery to dog training.
Young Kennel Club
The Young Kennel Club (YKC) is open to Young people aged 8-25 years of age. YKC members and their dogs will participate in a number of displays and competitions in the YKC Ring each day.
Main Ring
A continuous programme will take place each day. Events will include Obedience Championships, Inter-Regional Obedience Competitions, Agility and Flyball events, Group Judging and Best In Show.
They had an interesting one today called Breeders Stakes where breeder have to show 4 or 5 dogs from thier kennels. the winners were Beagles, Rotties were second....and the other places have gone right out of my head! Todays group judging for a place in the final were Gundogs, a Flat coated Retriever was the winner to go through, a Welsh Springer Spaniel came second and a Weinmeriner(sp?) third. It is a pity but we have very little coverage of the show on our tv, half hour today, same tomorrow, hour Saturday and on Sunday, the final day, three hours, but it is better than nothing I guess.
Here are two links for anyone who would like to find our more and/or keep up with the judging.
