Just had this from Paul Keevil of British Heritage Dog Breeds:
The Worlds largest ever Sussex Spaniel Gathering - and its in Sussex!
Crufts is a celebration of all things doggy, including rare British breeds. If you're looking for a dog to suit you, maybe a "vulnerable" breed could be just what you're looking for? Here's the press release from British Heritage Dog Breeds:
CRUFTS 2010 – It’s cool to be British!
Forget all those fancy and exotic foreign dog breeds. The message is clear: "if you want to be cool, get a British or Irish dog breed and preferably one of the really really rare ones which are in danger of disappearing".
