Crufts is coming up this week, 8-11th. Figured I'd start a thread for it to discuss the winners once the results are up after each day.

Also you can watch footage from Crufts each day on their youtube channel.

Here is the line up

Day 1: Toy and Utility groups
Day 2: Gundogs
Day 3: Working and Pastoral groups
Day 4: Terrier and Hound groups

all the info about Crufts can be found here: http://www.crufts.org.uk/

Besides the Westminster, I like watching the Crufts because it has so many dog breeds in it. I'll have to see when it's on as usually we don't get it here. Thanks for bringing it up!

After each day they are going to edit the footage, and put it up on their youtube channel for US viewers, although you may be able to find live footage on their too at certain times but not sure about that. One of the comments on one of their promotional vids, just said that they will edit the footage and put it up for US viewers.

I remember following it last year, but only bits and pieces of it on youtube. Can't get it on tv here, so youtube will have to do

Yep I watched some earlier, my headphones need to be recharged though. Its only the arena footage though. But groups will be in there, so worth watching later.

I heard that neither Pekingese nor Bulldogs will compete in their respective Groups due to failing the 3rd party vet checks?

Apparently since I didn't see the bulldog in the group. I will have to go back and see who the CC winners were in bulldogs.

Ok I don't recognize either of the CC bulldog winners.

Last ten were the Lhasa Apso, Dalmatian, American Akita, Toy Poodle, Standard Poodle, Shar pei, Keeshond, French Bulldog, Shiba, and Chow Chow.

Winners utility group:
1: lhasa Apso, 2: Keeshond, 3: American Akita, 4: Toy Poodle.

Personally didn't like the finalists all that much. The Canaan dog however... wow, loved the look of that dog

I can't get used to tail-less breeds with tails. I'm looking forward to the Freestyle competition

Neither do I. I did like that Griffon though, and of course Joe.

I liked the Italian Greyhound, but to my surprise I liked the Havanese and Chinese Crested too, though both are not my type of dog at all. The Cavalier and Papillon were cute. I actually got goosebumps when I saw the Löwchen... no, not pretty.

I don't mind the Yorkshire with tail at all...

Yay, the Papillon and Chinese Crested are through to the finalists!

Ooh facebook is in an uproar about the bulldog failing the visual vet exams. Apparently there is no way the dog should have failed that test. And looking at pictures of the dog, I have to agree with them, the dog is very moderate.

I want to know why the vet failed that dog, other than politics. That bulldog is gorgeous. Such an honor to win at Crufts, and to have the award taken away just sucks.

I wonder if there will be a statement on why the bulldog and the peke failed the vet exam. All I have seen so far says simply that they failed.
