Thinking of going to Crufts?
Prefer not to have to pay the entrance fee?
Then take part in DogChat's official win free Crufts tickets competition.
We have 10 tickets in total to give away in 5 pairs.
To be in with a chance of winning, within this thread create your own future Crufts champion.
Using the best characteristics of at least 6 different pedigree breeds (you can use more than 6 but no less than 6) I am looking for a brand new breed which could become the Labrador, Poodle or GSD of tomorrow.
Your breed must factor in genetic issues and balance them out (i.e. you could use a Labrador to try and attain a certain temperament trait but would need to balance this out with a breed not carrying hip problems - you need to explain your reasons for including the breeds you choose)
Your breed should be given a unique name and the winning 5 breeds should be a perfectly thought out mix of health, ability, character, function and compatibility.
We'll name the winners by this time next week and will get in touch privately to get details regarding where to send tickets to.
Good luck.
