Sealyham Terrier wins BIS at Crufts 2009 Dog Show
More than 22,000 dogs competed over four days for the most prestigious title in the dog world.
A Sealyham Terrier, Charmin,  has been crowned as Crufts Best in Show 2009.

Four-year old Charmin, (Am/Can/Su Ch Efbe’s Hidalgo at Goodspice) was selected from seven group winners at
the show, held in Birmingham, England on March 8th

Margery Good, from Chester County, Pennsylvania, who owns and handles  Charmin, said: “This is so exciting. It’
s over the top! It’s a great, great feeling and I’m just going to hug and kiss this dog until the end of time. He did
everything just right.” The Sealyham Terrier is one of the Kennel Club’s vulnerable native breeds, which are so
called because they number 300 registrations or less per year with the Kennel Club. Last year just 43 were
registered with the Kennel Club.

The Reserve Best in Show went to Standard Poodle, Donny, owned by Mr Lynn in Preston, Lancashire. The other
breeds that were competing for the prestigious title were: Boxer, Max from Gloucestershire; Hungarian Vizsla, Yogi
from Cumbria; Pharoah Hound, King from Sweden; Old English Sheepdog Cruella from Sweden and Papillon,
Ricky from Belgium.
