James Evans MS, Senedd Member for Brecon and Radnorshire, was delighted to attend Crufts on Saturday 8th March, and had the opportunity to meet some lovely Welsh Terriers competing in the contest.
Established in 1891, Crufts takes place over four days, with over 130,000 visitors descending on the NEC Birmingham where it has been held since 1991. Over 24,000 dogs competed at this year’s contest, including almost 4,000 dogs from overseas.
Crufts has a long-standing commitment to dog health and welfare, making it a key area of focus for the event. The Kennel Club has implemented a range of measures to ensure that all dogs participating are treated ethically and with the highest regard for their well-being.
James Evans MS said:
“As a huge dog lover myself, visiting Crufts was not only an enjoyable day out, but has been useful and informative to gain an insight into the work The Kennel Club is doing around the health and welfare of our canine companions.
“We are a nation of dog lovers and informing the wider public on responsible dog ownership to give our pets the best possible life can only be a good thing.”
