crufts

We all know that our dogs make our lives happier and better, and Crufts celebrates this aspect of dogs. Friends for Life highlights dogs who have changed and enhanced their people's lives in various ways. Watch this video to learn more about the dogs and people - from the disabled dog who gives confidence to his disabled young owner, to the police dog who has helped make life safe for us, to dogs who have made life worth living again. Who will you vote for? - and yes you can vote for them all!

Are you aware of the RSPCA's Born to Suffer campaign (which aims to improve the health and welfare of pedigree dogs)? Since they launched the campaign at the end of December last year, more than 16,000 people have signed the petition calling for pedigree dog breed standards to be reviewed and put health and welfare above looks.

Their plan is to present the final petition numbers to the Kennel Club as a demonstration of the scale of public support for a review of the breed standards. You can find out more about the campaign here:
