Crufts 2007 Winner - and my prediction was 100% accurate

So, Crufts is over for another year.

The 2007 official winner was chosen by judge Zena Thorne-Andrews and he is none other than Willy or, to give him his full name, Araki Fabulous Willy. Oh, I forgot the important bit, this year's Best in Show (ie the Crufts champion) is a Tibetan Terrier AND grandfather to Clare Balding's (co-presenter of the BBC programme) pet dog, Archie.

So the winner was without controversy - his is NOT a tail that may or may not be docked. Although, legislation has now been passed, this issue will run and run and run. And don't expect The Kennel Club to be anti-docking! But that's for another day so let's not spoil the fun.

Reserve Best in Show went to Fox Terrier (Wire) Ch Travella Show Stopper, owned by S. Browne-Cole and W. P Allen.

I am sure both these dogs are indeed fabulous show stoppers - literally - but it would be so nice to see dogs and owners/handlers without a hairbrush in hand at the winner's podium!! I mean, they're dogs!

For the second year running, I have predicted the real winner of Crufts - through The Friends For Life award - organised by the Kennel Club.

Hearing Dog (and rescue dog, yay!), Molly, got the top prize and I am thrilled. I shall write more about Molly tomorrow with all the right links!

So congratulations to all the winners. Of course, the Mistress always tells me, at the end of every Crufts, that if I were to enter, I would win. Paws down! She also says I will always be a Crufts champion of champions to her!

What can I say?

Woof Woof

Yep my mum guessed the Tibetan would win too! But then she is biased towards doggies who have hair drooping down over their faces...look at me!

Thought I saw that the Maltese was Reserve Best in Show, so what happened, did they take it away from her/Him? Because a Maltese is not remotly like a Fox Terrier and it was definately a beautiful white Maltese with coat flowing to the ground that could only have been in the first two.
