Topic Dog Boards / Showing / Coverage of breed classes at Crufts

Is anyone else disappointed that Crufts on youtube covers everything except the breed judging? I don't think I'm wrong in saying that show exhibitors pay more than anyone else to enter their dogs in Crufts? Yet I can watch video's on flyball, agility, heel work to music, dog display teams etc, etc but only 3 BOB judging video's are on there. I know it would be a bit boring for some people so I don't expect it to be on TV but surely they could upload video's of some of the breed judging for each breed?

Yes, absolutely!! My big lads brother is in the Bullmastiff class and I desperately wanted to watch it. I'm very disappointed.

I suppose there are too many breeds for a camera to film every one and when I went in 2010 the judging of mini long dachsies started just after 9am and didn't finish till gone 4pm with a brief stop for lunch, that is alot of footage.

It would be nice to see the BOB section for each breed though.

I know my US friends expected to see breed judging videos as they have for each breed at Westminster.

If that perhaps just meant the Best of sex challenges, BOB and BPIB that would be something.

That's exactly it, there are 37 rings or something, far more than at Westminster, it's just not possible to film them all alas. Not all that many years ago we were lucky to see the shortlisted dogs on TV, so at least getting the full group judging is something! Even doing the BOB challenge would probably be almost impossible to co-ordinate, as you wouldn't know exactly when you'd need your camera crew. It would be nice if they could dip in a little even if it was totally random which breeds got featured.
