There are three videos in this set, all filmed in the NEC Arena building. This is Part3.

I love dogs but have only had four in my lifetime. There’s a possibility of getting another in the next few years, so I thought I’d go up to the NEC for Crufts 2022 to reacquaint myself with many breeds. The last time I went to Crufts was in the late 1970s when it was at the Earls Court & I owned an Italian Greyhound & nearly got bitten buy a Pulli by stroking the wrong end by mistake !

I have a love of sight hounds (& didn’t they do well), so chose the day when the Hounds & Terriers were being judged. It was interesting to see the Jack Russell had at last gained UK Kennel Club recognition, they all looking like clones of each other. The Novia Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers were a new breed to me & very likeable.
