Crufts 1998

TheCrufts dogshow is the largest and most attended dogshow in the world. Crufts is held every March in England. Along with an entry of over 20,000 dogs for 1998, the show also boasts an impressive entry of thirty junior handlers from thirty different countries. Each junior is the top for his/her country. As you can imagine, what a competition!! Luckily, thanks to a regular Canadian Crufts goer (Bless you Flora MacKenzie) I have attained the results for your viewing pleasure.

And now for the results...

Presto!

HOW IT WORKS:
