The Kennel Club is also calling for anyone competing at Crufts – in any activity or discipline – to help to promote the benefits of dog ownership, dogs in society and taking part in canine activities. It is looking for inspiring dogs and owners with interesting stories that it can communicate to the media in the run up to Crufts and during the show itself.
To give competitors at Crufts the potential opportunity to tell their dog’s story to the wider world, The Kennel Club has set up an online form, which can be filled in by visiting crufts.org.uk/crufts-stories/
