Crufts
announces increased entry
- entry recovers lost ground with 21,028 dogs
CRUFTS 2003 has recovered some the ‘lost’ dogs from
their disrupted 2001 show with a provisional total of 20,860
making 22428 entries for the show in early March at the NEC,
Birmingham. this could be their fifth largest ever event since
the entries blossomed in the move to the midlands in 1990.
The 2002 Crufts enjoyed an entry of 22,243 from 20,860 dogs
- its sixth ever largest show and a decrease of around 694 dogs
on the postponed 2001 total.
In 2001 the show attracted its third largest ever entry of 23,229
from 21,554 dogs. This compared with 23,366 and 21,643 in 2000.
In 1999 a grand total of 21,503 made an entry of 23,336. At
the 1991 centenary show 22,883 dogs made an entry of 25,227.
It was thought that the 2002 decrease was due to the reduced
opportunity to travel and qualify during the early part of 2001.
Conversely we understand that the number of entries from overseas
is up by as many as five times that of the 100 who qualified
for the show last year although this has not been confirmed
by the Kennel Club.
For the first time exhibitors have been able to enter on-line
for the show and it is believed that the volume of those who
used the service was also more that the totals experienced by
other shows.
Individual figures per breed appear below, with the first number
indicating the number of dogs and the second, the number of
entries, per breed, at time of going to press.
