Crufts Obedience Day 2

Bitch Obedience Championships

The Bitch Obedience Championship is one of the only two classes in which the dogs are actually invited to enter & there is no entry fee.

To qualify for an invitation the dog has to win an Obedience Challenge Certificate in the preceeding year & there are no automatic qualifiers as there are in teh breed classes.

The winner of the Championships becomes a an Obedience Champion as long as the points lost are 15 or less. Last year one of the winners lost just more than 15 so the double Obedience Challenge Certificate wasn't awarded

The dog however did qualify later in the year

There is one bitch missing as she hasn't recovered from an injury


The first three bitches have worked & Ish the first bitch is retiring after this appearance at Crufts
