Crufts - is it true?

[Orangehorse]

Talking to someone last week who said that after Crufts there are often dogs left behind - didn't win, not good enough so the owners go home without them.

I couldn't believe this, aren't all dogs microchipped and the owners traced?

I would say that is absolute b******s!

Me too

Rubbish!

 

[PucciNPoni]

LOL what a laughable rumour.

No, not all dogs are chipped or necessarily traceable. But if that was a real story, it'd have been all over the papers in March.

Never in a million years...

Some idiots will believe anything.

Total sphericals!

Why do you insist on pussy-footing around? Come straight out with what you mean! That said, I agree with you!

For owners to qualify and get their precious pooches to the top of the tree, I wouldn't imagine that it has EVER happened.

Never heard anything so ridiculous in my life. I've shown at crufts every year for 15 years and even stopped to watch groups etc and have never seen dogs left behind. Occasionally dogs may be left on spare benches whilst the owners other dogs are shown in the group but they will be collected after the judging is finished. After all every dog has had to qualify to be compete at crufts regardless of discipline so they are all winners.

Damn I knew there was a good way to get rid of the ones that are really annoying to live with

It would be like saying horses are left behind at hoys cause they are not good enough. Just being able to enter and compete is bragging rights enough!
