Toy dog finals and our very own Poppy!

We thought it may be fun to go to Crufts this year and check out Poppy's competition! We took the day off work and went up to the NEC. It is a huge show with loads of halls full of trade stands and lots of dogs competing for each breed.

Luckily we spotted the Shih Tzus first and were able to walk around them as they were being groomed and pampered. The owners were friendly and welcomed our attention.

We spent a few hours watching the Shih Tzus being judged; they were all very sweet.

The Lasa Apsos were next to the Shih Tzus and looked very smilar except that their fringes don't get tied up. We also saw Tibetan Terriers which are larger but very similar to Shih Tzus.

The Shih Tzu wasn't placed in the Utility round and a Chihuahua won the Toy dog competition. It was a fun, but tiring, day out.

We still think Poppy is the best!
