I heard back from the Kennel Club and whilst Richmond is still to be officially confirmed – City of Birmingham has been and our judge there is Mr S Piearce. I was also kindly sent the 2015 list too and an extra name for the list is Zena Thorn-Andrews judging Crufts 2015.

Crufts entries have now been published and Drew Littlejohn has an entry of 21 dogs making 23 entries. 1 less than last year but this year’s judge was responsible for 2 of last year’s entries. The only breed (with CCs) that has less than us is the German Wirehaired Pointers. Sadly there are lots of non CC breeds that have more than double our entry.

I also received the Hound Association Open show schedule where our breed judge is Tim Ball.
