Crufts 2010

open dog june 2009

You’ll be aware, of course, that Crufts is well under way [11-14 March] and already, two winners have caught the eye of afficianados:

Mrs Zena Thorn-Andrews had the tough task of judging the Best of Breed winners in the Working Group. Mrs Thorn-Andrews selected Rottweiler Ch Olearia Blaze of Gold, owned by Mrs Marie Monk and Mr C Drabble of Rawmarsh in Rotherham. [See above photo]

No sooner had the Working Group winner been chosen, the task of deciding the Pastoral Group was the difficult decision facing Judge Mr Robin Searle.  The winner was a Welsh Corgi (Cardigan) named Ch Bymil Picture This, owned and handled by Miss Sarah Taylor from Littlehampton in Sussex.  [See below photo]

If you check the url of the lower photo, you’ll see my interest in all of this.

  1. “If you check the url of the lower photo..”: what does that mean, Hob?


  2. If you hover the mouse over the photo, it will give you a web address lower left on your screen. If not, you can click on the pic itself and the resultant page has a web address at the top. :)

    Trusting you’re well.


  3. I saw and lolled.
    What does Hob mean?
    I think it so endearing that Dearieme calls you that. :)


  4. It notted. But then Ah!!!! But, but, but; what is a “ress” and why does it have high amps?


  5. Dearieme, what are you drinking, lad?

    Uber – HOB means Higham, Old Boy and was coined by the exceedingly naughty Dearieme.


  6. I didn’t know you were reporting on Crufts. Were you perchance on the train earlier? I had a little chuckle with the business man who was sitting next to me when a gaggle of ladies rushed on to the train carrying dog blankets and cute bags with dogs on :-)


  7. Cute corgi. I went to Crufts once with my hairdresser and told him I wanted the hairdo of a poodle that was being prepared [against the rules] with mousse, volumising spray and the works.


  8. Didn’t know Crufts was on either.


  9. Some nice dogs there. Beautiful plumage.
