Did you get to see any Newfs or Goldens? My breeds.
It is interesting to see the difference in the types of
dogs that advance between US and the UK. Your dogs
are more natural and there is a much bigger and I think
better emphasis at Crufts on performance as opposed
to the beauty shows here.

I hate those puffed up froo froo dogs such as the Poodles
as shown here. They take a very nice dog and then shave
the coat to make it loof totally foolish. Just my not so humble
opinion.

Well at least one of you know about it.
It's the worlds largest dog show. Over the last few years they started accepting international entries.
A winner is worth millions to the breeder.
I had the displeasure of walking down the poodle lane on Sunday. It was nasty. No dog should be made to suffer that much hairspray!!!!
Sunday was the toy and utility days. Not into the Toys but I like the utilities. We got to see a few hours agility.
They also have the discover dogs hall with several hundred breeds of dogs and the owners love to chat about there dogs. It's a good opportunity to get to know about the nature and tempremant of dogs.
New Founlands and pyranees mountain dogs are amongst my favourites.
 
Yeah, get a bunch of dog show people together and you get a move (Best in Show) and people who adore talking about their animals. Our breed is Italian Greyhound, but despite the fact we have finished champions in the US, wouldn't be able to show them in UK because they have too much white on them :) Not that we could afford it anyway, but I'd love to see Crufts and Westminster in person.

I'm not big on cropping ears and docking tails, so I like the fact that I can see dogs "au naturale" when Crufts is broadcast. Several years ago when we were showing dogs, one brave Affenpincher (I think) breeder quite successfully campaigned her "natural" dog. A lovely dog who ranked very high in the breed.
