Pedigree has taken the surprise decision to withdraw its sponsorship of Crufts, soon after withdrawing support from all breed Championship Shows in the UK.
A Mars spokesman stated: "The Pedigree brand has evolved and we are prioritising initiatives which support the broadest possible community of dog owners, such as our successful programme to help homeless dogs, the Pedigree Adoption Drive, and our online service for breeders, pedigreedirect.co.uk.
"We look forward to working with the Kennel Club on other projects in the future."
The Kennel Club's Response to Pedigree's Decision to
Withdraw Sponsorship from Crufts 2009
Following the decision by Pedigree to withdraw sponsorship from Crufts 2009 as part of a review of its business priorities, the Kennel Club has issued the following statement:
Rosemary Smart, Chief Executive Officer for the Kennel Club, said "Clearly we are very sad to lose Pedigree from Crufts. We have had an excellent relationship with Pedigree for many years and we wish them well and look forward to working with them in the future.
"Crufts will go ahead as planned in March 2009."
