UK by far. The US is just a beauty contest and they are willing to deform dogs to get what they want. The UK is more about form and function over beauty.

Crufts was on the Animal Planet channel last night. Not sure who won - went to bed early. It was interesting to see some of the dogs I've never seen or heard of before. It seemed like the Crufts show has a more relaxed dress-code than Westminster. Some people showing their dogs at Crufts were in jeans and sneakers. There was one dog - I think it was a red & white Setter. It was beeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuutiful!
But I don't have preference. I like both US & UK.
I love Fenway, JoJo, Olivia and Nonnie!

The Australian Shepherd won. First time an aussie took Crufts best in show.

I don't know which I prefer, I JUST started getting into watching them. I must say I do prefer Crufts because its international, so you get to see MANY more unique dogs that you just wouldn't be able to see at an AKC show

US You can understand what they are talking about better
I'm not a spazmo, Vyvyan!
they are both good in their own ways
Niņo & Eliza
...and Corgi krazy, too!
I do prefer UK, because of the cropping & docking. =(
I prefer Europe in general, because a lot of European kennel clubs require working dogs to earn WORKING titles before they're allowed to be shown. It's ridiculous to judge the quality of a working breed based solely on their appearance.
