My Choosen Events.....

It could be said the events I have choosen are somewhat different, they are; Crufts, the most well known dog show, held at the NEC Birmingham and Maverick Sabre, the London born Irish raised singer songwriter at the Roundhouse, Camden.

    Crufts is one of the largest dog events on the globe and is hosted by the Kennel Club, which is the UK's largest organisation dedicated to the health and welfare of dogs.

The annual event is held at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) Birmingham. Crufts is held in march, and over the years, due to interest and expansion, the event takes place over 4 days. This year crufts is held on the 8-11th March 2012.

Crufts best in show is the ultimate competition where only the finest breeds compete for the most reputable prize in the dog world.....

This year is said to be bigger and better than before, the live finials will take place in the brand new arena.

There are seven different groups; working, utility, hound, pastoral, toy, terrier and gundog. A dog from each of these groups will be awarded best in breed and best in group, before the exciting climax... Best in Show!

This year the categories will compete on the following days-

Day 1- Toy and Utility

Day 2- Gundog

Day 3- Working and Pastoral

Day 4- Terrier and Hound

Crufts offer the chance for you and your pooch to pamper yourself and indulge in the hundreds of trade stands selling anything you and your four legged friend could possibly want. From clothing to dog food and bedding to human jewelry. Crufts promises great deals that you wont find anywhere else.

If you have a love for dogs and are looking into buying one but cant decide on the breed, then going to Crufts could be a good idea. As they have over 200 different breeds where you are able to meet and talk to the owners and breeders in the 'discover dogs' hall. You will leave with a better understanding and knowledge of what the perfect dog for you will be. 

This year the tickets for Crufts are: 

Best in show tickets: £23

Adult day tickets: £17

Concession* day tickets: £10

Children under the age of 8 will be admitted free of charge
