You knew no better? So are you now saying you wouldnt buy a pedigree bred dog again? Odd view I shall say.

That would depend actually you do not understand. You can actually leave from 4pm, it would only be the best of breed winners that will be required to remain. Crufts also do not do a best puppy in show, like many champ shows do.

Yes, but please note it is purely a personal preference.

I do believe there are some ethical, genuine good breeders out there, the trouble is they seem to be few and far between these days which Crufts is not helping!

That's my point. So best of breed will have ben there how long that day? I'm sure first judging starts at 9am for each breed class.

Ill tell you what, come and see. Its pointless trying to explain to somebody who is obviously anti showing and also doesnt understand how a show is run, so come see for yourself.

I've been and what I saw I hated so if I don't 'get it' explain it to me. Genuinely in the interest of good debate.

Agility, dancing comps etc.. also REGULARLY run at length, whats the problem? Do you think a dog cant manage it? I mean they can do a day in the field right? What makes you think any dog cant be in a ring for half an hour whatever time of the day it is?

I think the entrance numbers show how popular it is, and of course the increase in entries.
