Crufts is in England. I have been wanting to go for several years. Maybe next year.
I have been to Westminster. Kind-of cool. Not nearly as big as it seems on TV. Crowded. I don't like NYC. (no offense anyone... I'm a country girl)
I do recommend going someday though. It's different.
I believe Westminster's entries are 2,000 - 2,500 (unless they raised it) but it is a limited entry.
I heard Crufts numbers for dogs are something like 20,000... or more!
Unheard-of in this country! NOW THATS A DOG SHOW! The best part is it is something like a week long. And it includes obedience, agility, freestyle, field, and just about every dog sport! AWESOME!
No pits or am staffs over there though. I think their illegal. And not accepted in their kennel club anyway.
It should be on TV soon if you keep your eyes peeled on cable.
