Bo Bengtson's spectacular new book is the first one ever published to deal comprehensively with all aspects of the international sport of showing dogs.

Its 656 pages, illustrated with more than 700 photographs, represents his greatest contribution to dogs in his fifty years in the sport.
This is far more than just a book about dog shows: it tells the history of purebred dogs as never before. Its brilliant prose complimented with stunning photographs spanning more than a century.
It includes the first data compilation of all the top dogs in the United States and United Kingdom each year and explains what judges are looking for, how to become a handler and the breeder's role.

EUKANUBA WORLD
CHALLENGE 2008
Competition Heats Up As They Head For California
With preparations well on the way for the Eukanuba World Challenge 2008, many of the 52 participating countries and the Kennel Clubs have already selected their representative to compete at Long Beach California.
The year’s event is scheduled to take place on 13th and 14th December and will be hosted at the AKC / Eukanuba National Championships. Those 52 representing countries will be divided into four sections predicated on the geographical region. There will be four world renowned judges, one for each section, officiating at this prestigious event. Each section will be judged independently and three winners from each section will be selected to go on to the final Challenge. The excitement and anticipation will be intensified for spectators, breeders, owners and exhibitors alike as the 12 dogs go through to the final to compete for the coveted title and prize money. The 12 finalists will be presented in the Best In Show ring to the FCI President and all breed judge, Hans Muller.
He will then select the ultimate winner, awarding the title of Eukanuba World Challenge Champion 2008 along with a beautiful trophy and prize money of $10,000, a runner up will be awarded $3,000 and a first runner up $2,000. The national kennel club of the ultimate winner will be presented with a recognition prize of $5,000.
 The European countries accounted for the largest section in 2007 and with the increase in participating countries for 2008, a collective decision was taken that the participating European countries are apportioned into two sections. A draw took place at the World Dog Show to determine which European countries would be assigned to Edd Bivin from the USA, judge for the Europe & Africa section 1 and Rafael De Santiago from Puerto Rico, judge for Europe & Africa section 2. The Hon. David Merriam, Vice Chairman of the AKC, was the adjudicator of the draw held at the Eukanuba World Challenge Press Briefing and Panel Discussion. He drew out the participating countries and announced the relevant section to which each country was assigned.
The countries are as follows:
Section 1 - Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Ireland, Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom, *Turkey.
Section 2 - *Bulgaria, * Cyprus, * Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Italy, *Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Romania, Serbia,Slovakia, South Africa.
*denotes new participating countries for 2008
A full list of participating dogs will be available in due course.
