Great news .... The PWD results have just come out ...... Jackie and Figo (Austwell I get around) came first in the Postgraduate dog class! Good on ya Jackie and Figo!
Am I missing something, but why would a Chinese Crested crossed with a Jack Russel be at Crufts? [I cannot read what it says on the shirt of the woman holding it] Taken from the article here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/a...s-slipped-water-scenes-enters-second-day.html
Her shirt says "The Groom Room" which is the groomers that are inside Pets at Home stores. He may have been with the grooming stall or even as part of Scruffts (I didn't see the entries today)
Thank you I could not read what was on her shirt - but I still do not understand why that dog would be at Crufts, because I always thought that Scruffts was a separate thing. Not a part of Crufts.
Congratulations Jackie. The PWD bitches were already in the ring when we arrived, so I'm afraid I missed seeing your lad - but I checked the award slips and saw that Figo had won. I also didn't manage to spot Tina and K9, - the day just flew by.
They have shows running throughout the year to qualify; overall class winners compete in the final at Crufts
I understand that, but what I do not understand is what was written underneath the photograph of what was said to be a cross between a Chinese Crested and JR: "A woman cuddles Dougal, a Chinese Crested crossed with a Jack Russel, on the second day of the Crufts dog show at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham" At Crufts?
Well done Jackie & Figo! What an accomplishment! Malka, that dog looks like a purebred CC to me......but even if he wasn't crossbreeds can compete in various other competitions in Crufts such as agility, flyball, demonstrations etc.
Oh Vee, that is disgusting. Poor dog, and his owners. I do hope the offender is able to be traced from the CCTV footage, and is punished by the courts, and banned for life.
Well its now been on the news and headlines in the media. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-don-finest-clothes-Crufts-awards-climax.html The fact that the BOB certificate etc also went on walk, makes me wonder if its was more a personal attack. Totally disgusting, whoever it was are the scum of the earth. From his owner THENDARA SATISFACTION. JAGGER OWNED BY ALEKS & WIM LAUWERS & JEREMY & I IS DEAD. AN AUTOPSY HAS REVEALED HE WAS POISONED A LARGE AMOUNT OF BEEF CUBED, STUFFED WITH 2-3 DIFFERENT POISONS WAS STITCHED INTO THE MEAT. THIS RESULTED IN A VERY PAINFUL DEATH FOR OUR BEAUTIFUL BOY. THE TIMINGS FROM THE AUTOPSY MAKE IT CLEAR THE ONLY PLACE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO JAGGER WAS WHILE ON HIS BENCH AT CRUFTS. THE POLICE HAVE BEEN INFORMED. I beg of you if anyone can remember seeing anything suspicious please LET ME KNOW. Please do not contact Aleks she needs to grieve in peace. In case this was not a personal attack on our kennel For those of you attending Crufts today, DO NOT LEAVE YOUR DOGS UNATTENDED.
Absolutely disgusting the lengths some people stoop too. Having had a dog who was poisoned I know the suffering they go through. We found Sally, a Lab, semi conscious lying in a pool of blood. Fortunately, we managed to save her life but it left her with a delicate digestive system for the rest of her life.
