I know many of you here have dogs so is anyone going to Crufts this year?

As a non dog owner I do watch it occasionally..:D

Not going this year. Usually go every three years or so. I spend far too much when I'm there. Have quite a few friends who show and it is nice to catch up a cheer them on.

Not sure about this year after all the hype. I usually go, not to watch the showing, but to watch the agility, flyball, shopping, rescue stands, etc.

OOh not sure. I usually go on the Guide Dog stand, but there's been "talk" about it at work due to all the controvasy... So not sure what's happening yet!

I loved it as a child but never been. I read some where that its not on tv this year due to all the controvasy i think it could be back next year i almost certain that the BBC pulled out because of it.

The BBC pulled out becaue they thought they could bully the Kennel Club into meeting their demands, unfortunately for them, they wouldnt!! Did you know the BBC refused to broadcast certain breeds? if this was their stance on pedigree dogs and health issues, why did they include the Rottweiler in their list????

I have always wanted to go, but with this hassle with the KC at the moment, have lost interest...

There isnt any hassle Moli and it will be FAR better without rude, interfering TV crews!

I think I agree with Dawn there the TV crews just hightlight what they want to highlight not the true dog lovers who go year on year out to promote the best interest of their breed.

Moli we should be going as SBT are an "endangered" breed to the TV people look at the negative publicity the press in general give our breed.
