What types of competitions are the easiest types to win?

I kind of think that competitions where there aren't a lot of entries would have better odds? Maybe some shows that aren't in the city would have less competition?

Has Anyone Considered Crufts?

I have always found Crufts to be a little pretentious. I've been thinking recently that there's no harm in loving your dog and wanting to show it off. Has anyone considered entering this or has anyone been in it even?

Dog Parkour

On Facebook, one of my friends is constantly posting pictures of her dog in pretty weird places, like standing on top of fire hydrants and stuff. I finally asked her what was up with that. Turns out, she's actually training him to do that. Have you ever heard of parkour or seen the youtube videos of people running and climbing and jumping and pretty much pushing their bodies to the max? Apparently there's a dog version. It reminds me a lot of agility classes but uses real-world obstacles. The main International Dog Parkour website is here: http://www.dogparkour.org/ Have you heard about or seen this dog sport before? What do you think about it?

Crufts controversy

There's been a lot of fuss in the press over the judging at Crufts because of one of the dogs that won a category. Apparently the Gordon Setter that won Best of Breed was owned and bred by the judge's sister. Now, I'm not into dog shows and I prefer working dogs, but this doesn't seem very right to me. On the other hand there has to be a small pool of people who know the breed well enough to judge it, so might be kind of understandable, but the breeders have complained about it as well. It kind of makes me glad that mine are a bit too mixed to show! I'd love to get some other owners opinions on this. I'd have thought she should have disclosed the relationship or stood down, but that's just my view.
