Dennis Mulligan has again taken some wonderful photographs from the day. These can be seen on facebook page @Crufts Bolognese Photos

Crufts is, of course, about more than just showing. The Kennel Club hold the Discover Dogs event twice a year, where the all official breeds are represented. The public can come and view the dogs and their handlers/owners. This gives a great opportunity for us to positively promote the breed outside the show ring.  The Bolognese were represented on the British Bolognese Club stand across all 4 days. Thank you to the following volunteers and their dogs for supporting the club: Mark and Diane Whateley, Jane Owen, Rosie Roffey, Cindy Costello, Viki, Shirley Hewitson, Karen Golden, Christine Rushbrook and Marion Wildey. The dogs were fantastic ambassadors and we received lots of interest and positive comments.
