Birmingham Dog
Show
Every March in Birmingham
the annual British dog show takes
place. It is called Crufts. And it
started more than 100 years ago.
In 1878, Charles Cruft, a young Englishman, organised the dog
section of the Paris Exhibition. That gave him the idea to organise a
dog show in Britain. He went back to England in
1886 and five years later he created Crufts.
Now Crufts is gigantic. It has been
recognized by the Guinness Book of Records as
the largest dog show in the world. It lasts four days
and attracts dog lovers from all continents. More
than 21000 dogs took part in
different competitions and
demonstrations.
At special section of Crufts
called “Discover Dogs”, visitors can
see 180 breeds of dogs. They can
talk to dog experts, too. It’s perfect
for someone who wants a dog, but
doesn’t know what kind to get.
Young dog lovers in Britain have a club of their
own called the Young Kennel Club (YKC). The
members of the YKC have their own special events at
Crufts and take part in a number of competitions.
The aim of the YKC is to
encourage interest in the care,
training and all sorts of their
activities connected with
dogs. The club has a great
idea for those who don’t want

to leave their dogs during the holiday. They organise a summer
camp for kids and dogs.
