Was the sheer excitement of flyball dogs there for all to see at Crufts?
Had you been able to visit Crufts in person perhaps you would have enjoyed a fair amount of flyball. Not so on TV.
The messageboard at the BBC's Crufts section reflected what I felt about the coverage for all the events, with the exception of some of the breed judging... why do they ignore the Ridgebacks? [Maybe because the 'experts' can't compete for character!]... the group judging, and of course the Best in Show.
Many felt there was far too much waffle, too much wasted time, and far too little time spent on Flyball and Agility. Even Discovering Dogs seemed to get less of a mention, whilst loads of unnecessary items from the shopping section were shown on air.
The all too short air time given to Flyball Dogs did show the real excitement of the sport... and now the BBC Radio Five Live team are off to the Cheltenham Festival [horse racing]... where this years winners come from.
