Crufts 11th - 18th March
The world’s biggest dog show is back this month. Here are some facts about our favourite canine competition.
• •
Charles Cruft was a dog-biscuit salesman!
It was originally just for terriers. The inaugural event was billed as the “First Great Terrier Show”. Five years later it was renamed “Crufts Greatest Dog Show” and opened to all breeds.
• Queen Victoria’s collie Darnley II, and two of her Pomeranians won prizes in 1891.
•
In 1991, Crufts was offi cially recognised by the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s largest dog show. Now 27,000 dogs take part each year, with 160,000 human visitors attending.
• Around 350kg (or 55st) of canine fur will be cleared from the Birmingham NEC following the show!
• Over the years there have been scandals worthy of an Agatha Christie plot. There have been claims of owners slipping rival dogs laxatives, poisoning them or sticking chewing gum in their fur. There has even been a murder. In 1974 an Old Bailey jury heard how a man began an aff air with a woman he met at Crufts, then was stabbed to death by his wife with the knife he used to cut up their dog’s food.
•
Statistically, the most likely breed to win the Best in Show crown is the Cocker Spaniel which has won ‘Best in Show’ seven times
Don’t own pedigree? In 2000, the Kennel Club started Scruff ts – a show for crossbreeds, which compete for the titles of Most Handsome Dog, Prettiest Bitch, Child’s Best Friend and Golden Oldie.
