It has just been announced on Fosse Data that Boston WILL be the final qualifying show for Crufts 2012

I saw that on FB -so does it mean Crufts entry date has been extended?

Not for all breeds though!

Just to confirm this covers only CC breeds and YKC Stakes, YKC Handling qualifies for 2013 only as a change in regulations means you have have to be a YKC member. Hope this clears the confusion.

Yes but then not all breeds qualify at all champ shows anyway, so that kind of goes without saying.

But what about Rare Breeds? Reading this, it means that Rare Breeds and Imported Register can't qualify for Crufts at all from Boston, for either 2012 or 2013

Nope we can't, but import register breeds don't qualify for Crufts anyway.
