It was nice to see at least one GSD in the parade - the Welch team had a longcoated GSD. Ruth ________________________________ From: R.

Just a bit of clarification.....there are 3 completely separate obedience events at Crufts. First is the inter-regional team event made up of UK teams of 7 dogs and handlers. Friday and Saturday is the Crufts Obedience Championship....to qualify for this show each dog must win a Championship class in the previous year. Sunday is the Obedience World Cup, which is an event open to everyone. The World Cup test uses a combination of exercises from UK, USA and European (FCI) obedience. Generally this is a team event but the USA didn't have enough entries to make up a team. There is an award for the winning team and for the first place dog and handler. Petra won the World Cup individual award, and Team Wales won the team award.
