Scruffts Family Crossbreed Of The Year Competition - Heats for 2007!

Have you ever wanted to take part in a dog competition but the breed of your dog has prevented you?  Well this is your chance!  Growing nationally in reputation and popularity, Scruffts Family Crossbreed Dog of the Year competition provides great fun for owners and dogs of all shapes and sizes.

Organised by the Kennel Club, Scruffts strengthens the bond between dog and owner and provides a great opportunity to experience the excitement of competing. It is just for fun and only costs £1 per entry and all money raised goes to the Kennel Club Charitable Trust, which works to help make a difference for dogs by funding a wide variety of work ranging from supporting research into canine diseases to welfare initiatives.
