Crufts
Crufts - Starts: 6 March 2008
Ends: 9 March 2008
NEC Birmingham
Over 25,000 dogs from all over the world will be travelling to The NEC to compete for the ultimate accolade of Best in Show at the world's largest dog show.
Crufts, organised by the Kennel Club attracted 153,000 visitors over the four days of the show in 2007, easily keeping this annual show's place in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest dog show in the world.
Dogs representing twenty-six countries competed at last year's Crufts resulting in a record number of overseas competitors, making this a truly international event.
With around 100,000 paws on parade, Crufts 2008 is expected to provide first class canine entertainment for people of all ages, through its mix of traditional crowd favourites alongside exciting new displays of dog's many talents and roles within society.
As well as the highly esteemed Best in Show title, other hotly contested canine competitions will include the Obedience World Cup competition with challengers from all over the world, and the Kennel Gazette Junior Warrant Final, with a younger generation of dogs bidding to show their potential as future Crufts champions.
Crufts offers visitors much more than simply seeing dogs in competition. Dog lovers and prospective owners will also have the chance to meet and greet 190 different breeds in the Discover Dogs area, where they can gain expert guidance from handlers.
The event provides the ideal opportunity to treat the dog or dog-lover in your life. With around 500 trade stands and charities including Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, offering everything that you and your canine could possibly wish for.
