Crufts, the premier dog show in England, has just announced that they will be broadcasting the iconic dog show online!
“The Kennel Club has today announced that dog lovers worldwide will be able to see the action from Crufts 2009 live on the internet for the first time in the show’s history.
The live webcast will follow all of the events in the Arena programme, from Heelwork to Music and Agility to the Best in Group and Best in Show judging and the ever popular Friends for Life competition that rewards our dog heroes. There will also be a new element to the Arena programme where the winners of the We Love Our Dogs competition – which invited all dog owners to send in video clips and photographs of their happy, healthy dogs – will be announced. Peter Purves and Frank Kane will provide commentary for the live web stream, which will be interspersed with features showing the interviews and action from outside the Arena.”
Crufts used to be only available to those who subscribed to speciality channels, and it’s especially exciting that the streaming video is available world-wide!
You can catch the action beginning at 8:30am, March 5th through March 8th (check the website to adjust for your local time). Crufts TV will also broadcast replays and highlights, but some services will only be available for subscribers.

I think it is a great idea to show crufts on the net,, many people just can’t attend due to health reasons,, it will be great for them as well ,also it can be very expensive for familesThis will be the first time in over ten years i have not been able to attend,(due to ill health) now i can enjoy it in the comfort of my home.
