...it is really impossible to say anything correct from a photo

Emm, the last time Harmonia Eden severu (as WW'06) was trying to enter Crufts, they said, they do not allow CsW. Did something change?

Solowolf, photos are good, but the problem is that dogs just like people look better or worse on photos And you should also add movies of the dog moving. And still the most important part - character test - will not be seen. So it is really better idea to invite a judge for bonitation

I thought the reason why Crufts did not allow CSW was because they were considered hybrids by DEFRA, but now when the breed is legal in UK and they even have their own club, I think maybe it would be possible to show CSW`s at Crufts ? ...but maybe I am wrong ?
Anyway it should still be possible to invite a judge to make a bonitation in the UK...

well after over many years fighting with defra the law in uk was changed and the cwd no longer needs a DWA licence, so now all your dogs from Europe can come and go as you please in uk. even attend crufts if you quailify, the cwd will be registered in uk this year, it all takes time but we already have the change in the law the kennel club bit is a walk in the park,, it will take some years before the cwd have a class in the show ring but they can compete in any variety, i will contact my friends in Europe i am sure they can recommend a bonitation judge for us and we can arange all of our dogs to be in one place for this.........
