Crufts ?The Worlds Greatest Dog Show?

Crufts calls itself The Worlds Greatest Dog Show, so what should you expect if you抳e never been before? Well on the 9 th ?12 th March 2006 it抯 the 103 rd Crufts Dog Show, so they must be doing something right!

In 2005, Birmingham, England抯 2 nd City saw 21,000 dogs and 120,000 visitors to Crufts across four days and 2006 is set to see similar success.

Crufts truly is an international affair with visitors and show dogs from all around the world. But its not just 4 days of pampered show dogs on display at Crufts.

There is the competition, pace and noise of agility and flyball. There are displays from the best of the UK抯 police dogs and customs dogs, apprehending criminals and sniffing out contraband and weapons.

There are dogs who herd ducks and terriers who race in addition to the beautiful art of Heelwork to music and obedience trials.

Crufts also brings Discover Dogs to Birmingham, an opportunity to meet expert owners and breed representatives and the chance to get up close to hundreds of dog breeds from around the world. There are all shapes and sizes of dogs and dogs for every type of home. For anyone looking for a new dog, this is a perfect opportunity to consider all of the different breeds available. And for anyone who loves dogs, adults and children alike, this is a chance to play with and cuddle the dogs at the exhibition!

Add to all of this the stands, selling everything from dog food to dog clothes, pictures and ornaments to shampoos and brushes.

Crufts really is something that every dog lover should visit at least once; but I suspect that if you do see it once, you抣l go back again and again!!
