UK vs. USA dog shows

[Muddy4paws]

I've only been to 2 dog shows, one I cant remember! and Crufts this year omg I was in heaven lol I dont think I know too many American dog shows, but I would love to go out there one day and go to one, Just to see how the different styles are on dogs out there .. Sad I know

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.

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

Chance won! The Aussie!! I watched it last night and made HJ watch the Pastorial group and the BIS part when he got home from work. Chance was just... the most beautiful Aussie I think I've seen!!

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

[Suki Wingy]

they are both good in their own ways

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.

Well, from what I understand, they don't crop dog's ears in UK shows. I like that part about it much better! US is ok, too I suppose. I have never seen a UK show, though, so I woulden't know.
