Dog: Thanks, driver; it reminded me of an op we did in WW2, against the Kiel ken-nel.

Fotherington was feeling that perhaps he was in over his depth, all because he'd misread the ad and thought he was just going to be involved with air-crufts.

After cuts in the early 60s, ATC had to make do with a Rover Follow Me, rather than a Landis.

"No, I'm as surprised as you that we've got this far without any of the usual Airedale or Skye Terrier puns."

"Truedat. And the Chinook one. And the Harrier one. Oh-how-hilarious-I-never-heard-that-one-before."

"And the one about the nav being a Plott Hound is wearing a bit thin, too."

"Yeah, but it Canaan will be only a matter of time til some Cretan out there with a Shar Pei notices and just won't be able to resist it."

"Elo, talk of the devil - there's Wee Jeem over there. Sigh."

"Tosa?"

"Naw, he's not that bad. "

The titles of awards at Crufts defy the imagination, so I have copied these lines from Wikipedia for your confusion and/or understanding:

Dogs compete in hierarchical fashion. Dogs begin by competing against others of the same breed, split by gender, age and previous class wins. These classes include Veteran, Special Puppy, Special Junior, Yearling, Post Graduate, Mid Limit, Limit, and Open. Each is awarded once for dogs and once for bitches. The dog and bitch class winners then compete again for the Dog and Bitch Challenge Certificate (CC). The two CC winners then go head-to-head to determine the Best of Breed.

After the best of each breed has been chosen, they then compete against the others in their Group (in the UK, there are seven Groups: Toys, Gundogs, Utility, Hounds, Working, Pastoral, and Terriers) to find the Best in Group. The seven Group winners then compete to find the Best in Show and Reserve Best in Show.

....
Thanks for the huge numbers of entries.

Reserve Best In Show

That's not a family photo, is it?

Caption: It's a bit of a pig to kick start.
