I just got back from crufts with my smooth fox terrier it was my first time at crufts and it was fantastic. The atmosphere was so overwhelming. Frank kane watched my class(which was nerve racking!) and i managed to squeeze a smile out of Ben fogle :* My boy loves all the claping, lights and...

i did quote at the start of my opion the damage % of tails when it was banned in the first year in sweden it was 51% before the pups were 18months old in one breed alone. THAT IS A VERY HIGH % ITS A STATED FACT IN THE FOX TERRIER BOOK. BY DIANA CHADS YOU CAN LOOK IT UP IF YOU LIKE 51% IN ONE...
