The smell of dogs when you walk in, it&#8217;s like wet dog, but I&#8217;m down with that, I&#8217;m absolutely fine with it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been rolling on the floor with dogs, I&#8217;ve been feeding dogs, and I&#8217;ve been around there in the Discover Dogs section. I always think that people that own dogs, we&#8217;re all like-minded, and I don&#8217;t trust people that don&#8217;t like dogs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The main thing that&#8217;s surprising is just how big everything is, how exciting it is and how many stalls there are. There are loads of opportunities, and there\u2019s a good message here. It&#8217;s all about sustainability and love, and I&#8217;ve yet to see any dogs having a scrap. They\u2019ve all been well behaved.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amanda Holden is in attendance at Crufts today, her first visit to the event, which she described as&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":464860,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[166738,2426,166739,166736,166737,166740,59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-464859","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-best-in-show","tag-birmingham","tag-birmingham-nec","tag-crufts","tag-crufts-2026","tag-dog-show-competition","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/464859","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=464859"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/464859\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/464860"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=464859"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=464859"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=464859"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
