| Hee hee!!! It's the only dog show that's televised in the UK - and is attended by qualifying dogs from all over the world, it's run by our Kennel Club. We used to go when it was held in London, but they moved it to Birmingham and so now we watch it on television - you can actually see so much more! Great atmosphere though....and masses of scrummy stuff to buy!!! Sally x |

| I'm sorry, I tried to just look it up for you - but everything's directing me towards YouTube.... Over here, Thursday 6th - Saturday 8th is on More4, and the grand finale is on our Channel 4 on Sunday evening the 9th. But that doesn't help at all, does it?!!!!? Sally x |

| I even went to your Kennel Club site to contact them by email....that email wont work here! I get an error message saying it is an unknown user......so I have blocked off the dates in March, and I will just browse the channels on those dates to see if it is televised on any of them! |

| Oh my goodness - I so wish I could help.... Think you're right though, to look through the guide at the time. I'll have more time tomorrow - so will email Crufts and the Kennel Club, see if they can give any indication to me, and then I'll let you know.... Sally x |

| Sally, you "lucky dogs" getting to see Cruft's live! To my knowledge, US TV has never carried Cruft's live or even on a short time-delay basis the next day but the Animal Planet used to show a compressed version of it a couple of months afterward early Saturday mornings back when they ran that Dog Show series from 4 or 5 - 7:00 am or whatever the early times were. That's the only time I've ever seen it on TV here though I think I saw that CNBC or Universal HD channel ran a compressed replay version of it once. I've think I've seen 3 or 4 Cruft's on Animal Planet and CNBC. It's a wonderful show but the compression of events takes a lot of the enjoyment out of it and it's not nearly as well-presented as Westminster with all of the time on each finalist, close-up shots of group judging and interesting color commentary that they give us during Westminster. We're really robbed on our version of Cruft's that we get to see! I'd give anything if they could show it live in the wee hours or on a short time-delay basis over two days like Westminster!

| Jeanie, I HATE potted versions of ANYTHING....and how can they pick out the 'best bits' of something like Crufts?!!? It's such an extraordinary, diverse show....not just the line-ups for Best of Breed etc. etc...but the agility, flyball, dancing dogs, assistance dogs and absolutely masses of other stuff....aaargh!! I'll see what I can find out tomorrow (probably nothing!) - will keep you posted Sally x |

| Just a thought - I wonder if it's worth contacting Karan, KazzyK810, and asking her advice on accessing it? She always manages to watch the 'British stuff' with no problem at all?!! Sally x |
