The opening Day of Crufts 2011 has come and gone.
Not being there this year, I had to be content with the TV coverage, and from going on what I heard re last years coverage, I wasn’t relishing the idea.
Last year was the first attempt that the dfs sponsored dog show was covered by More4, and I suppose after all the controversy re the BBC standing down after the Pedigree Dogs Exposed programme, they were treading on egg shells, and the actual judging of dogs got very minimal coverage.
Last nights 2 hour show that covered the Gundog Group, was a celebration about all things dog, and was a great mix of pedigree dogs, and non pedigree dogs, with the climax being the group judging, and analysis afterwards by Frank Kane and the team.
Secretary of the Kennel Club (London) Caroline Kisko was also on hand pushing people to their very informative website regarding what type of dog suits your family lifestyle etc, as well as breed rescue, and revealed breed rescues in the UK re homed more dogs in Britain than the likes of Battersea etc, all done on very little funding
Crufts is the highlight of dog showing every year, and it’s fantastic that More4 have given 4 x 2 hour programmes to cover the event, and for it to be used to great effect by the people involved, to promote all that is good in the world of dogs today.
Please sir can I have some More4 !!!!
