+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Those of you who saw my previous cointest, will know that in just under a months time, GeoDog aka Caesar and I, shall be carrying the Olympic Torch as it passes through London. We have just returned from an exceedingly hectic trip to Crufts, the worlds largest dog show. We spent quite a lot of time fundraising and doing PR for the charity Caesar comes from, Dogs for the Disabled. We did have time for some press briefings and also to watch some of the judging of the dog show. The results of one press interview can be seen on the Crufts website Now, to the cointest. Although time was short, I did manage to get to see the judging of three groups out of the seven, in addition to the Best in Show judging. A Limited Edition Jukebox coin will be going to the first person who can name the three groups which I managed to watch the judging of. If you are unfamiliar with the groups at dog shows, feel free to do some googling around to find out how Crufts is run. Please, just one guess per hour per log in, and as time goes by, if necessary I'll give some hints. Please don't edit your posts, wait an hour and try again! So to recap, which three groups did I see judged at Crufts 2008? Quote
+PengoFamily Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 hmmm. wild guesses: -working group -flyball -agility Quote
+LadyBee4T Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 I will guess the groups that my two dogs are in and the third will be a wild guess Gun Dog Pastoral Hound Quote

CinemaBoxers Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Crufts Obedience Winners 2008 Group Judging (Working) and Presentation Group Judging (Pastoral) and Presentation Well.. working would be my group anyways. Thats where the Boxers be! Quote
+GATOULIS Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 I have no idea, so do not laugh...please!!! 1) Terrier 2) Utility 3) Toy Quote
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted March 11, 2008 Author Posted March 11, 2008 Rescue Dog Agility Southern Golden Retriever Display Team Agility – International – Final Yes, good guess, I did indeed watch the Southern Golden Retriever Display Team, even Caesar is interested in watching them, but they are not one of the judging groups in the Crufts dog show. It's groups in the main show, the conformation (beauty) show, rather than the displays which I am after. Quote

+hollora Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Utility, Working and Hound - I don't think this combo has been used yet. Very nice article about you and your assistance dog. I had a TB trying to reach Crufts - it was close but the folks who had it - missed the show. They are going to send it home. Well at least it was close. Perhaps a coin would have had better luck than a little rubber Boxer dog! Quote

I started 4 little dogs with TBs out when I started in 2006 - first one to make it close. I may be in touch and perhaps start one there next year - that would be fun! Quote
