The first day of Crufts which was kicked of with controversy and the usual media gutter press reporting inaccurate and misleading so called 'news'.
But this must NOT take anything away from the fit, healthy, happy dogs - you simply dont take a dog to a show if he doesnt like because he simply wont show! However good looking he or she maybe if he doesnt like the attention of the show ring he wont show - he has the last call!
Today was the turn of the terrier and hound group.
Group Winner was the superb Sealyham Terrier
AM/CAN/SU CH EFBE'S HIDALGO AT GOODSPICE - a native breed that is considered vulnerable in the UK due to its deminishing numbers, what a shame this fantastic example had to come all the way from America!
Runner up was a beautiful Scottish Terrier
Runner up was a beautiful Scottish Terrier
Yet another of our native breeds winning from America!
Then came the hound group. The most amazing pharoah hound from Sweden INT CH NORTHGATE'S AS YOU LIKE IT
I have never seen one of these very aloof hounds look so positively animated and happy to be at the largest dog show in the world (see previous notes!!) My only complaint was that in my opinion he was a little over handled with the handlers almost hackney run and running him on a long lead like a GSD - it was sometimes difficult to take your eyes off the handler but a very worthy winner all the same.
Next came the very well known and big winning Petit Bassett Griffon Vedeen CH SOLETRADER MY APHRODISIAC - and the first british dog in the frame so far!
