‘Chance’ walkies away with top dog title

EXQUISITELY coiffed, gorgeously buffed and showing dainty displays of anklework, the creme-de-la-creme at Crufts were as captivating as any two-legged catwalk lovelies.

Although five-year-old Chance was a more than worthy winner of the Best in Show Award, choosing top dog at the four-day event was a tough task for the judges.

With oodles of poodles, and every kind of comely canine to choose from, whittling down the selection to just one woman and her dog was never going to be easy. Californian Nancy Resetar was in celebratory mood when the Australian shepherd dog was chosen above six other group winners from the past four days.
