Flat Coated Retriever wins BIS at dfs Crufts 2011 Dog Show
SH CH VBOS THE KENTUCKIAN (Jet) a flatcoated retriever brought home  the 'ultimate prize' by winning Best In
Show at UK's elite Crufts. Jet had won the Best Gundog category before becoming top dog at the show, now in its
120th year.

Runner-up went to Jilly, a Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen from Oxfordshire, winner of the Best Hound group.

Also competing for the title were: German Shepherd Elmo, who won the pastoral group; Boxer Max, who won the
Working Group; and Wire Fox Terrier Henry, who won the Best Terrier category; Theo, a Standard Poodle, who
took first place in the Utility group; and Eric, a Bishon Frise which won the Toy category.

Nine and a half-year-old Jet beat off opposition from 21,000 dogs at Birmingham's NEC as Crufts celebrated its
120th anniversary.

Breeder Jim Irvine, from Queensferry, said: "It's just an unbelievable win, I'm just so happy." He added: "In the dog
world this is the ultimate prize, this is what everyone aspires to and normally I find it's always someone else who
wins this. "To have a good dog and to get this far is just unbelievable."

Around  138,000 people came to watch the 21,422 dogs compete over the four days.
“DFS Crufts is a celebration of healthy, happy dogs which recognises the special and unique bond between dogs
and their owners.
