The online Obedience coverage is far batter than anything the BBC has ever done as you have a chance to see ALL the dogs competing & not just the bits the BBC think Joe Public want to see
Agility, obedience, heel work to music and the full group judging. Brilliant
Just to add the year they were saying St Bernard's should not be allowed to show at Crufts they were placing one in a story line at Eastenders.

you don't like dog shows ?- fine don't go -you think getting a pedigree dog is
only for folk who ''know no better " ? then get a designer cross breed instead - quite frankly I just don't care !
I'm through with this nonsense !!

Mav & his mum will be competing against each other this year in the World cup (mav for Wales, Dizzy for England) Got to be the best day for Mavs breeder!

This incident sparked a great deal of unveiling of certain aspects of some dog breeders that was less than palatable to put it mildly. The BBC forthwith made an announcement that it would not be broadcasting future shows from Crufts.
Oh - and I believe that Pedigree Chum pulled out of sponsorship for the same reasons, although I have not looked into this one to verify why they scarpered.
