Kennel Club trying to contact owners of two Shetland sheepdogs, a West Highland White terrier, an Afghan hound and a Shih Tzu reported to have been poisoned at Crufts
By Gordon Rayner, Camilla Turner and Victoria Ward
The Kennel Club is looking into reports that six dogs may have been poisoned at Crufts, as owners suggested more than one poisoner may have been on the loose.
An Irish setter died after being fed poisoned beef at the show last week, and the owners of two Shetland sheepdogs also believe their animals were poisoned during the show at the NEC in Birmingham.
Now there are reports that a West Highland White terrier, an Afghan hound and a Shih Tzu were taken ill after the show, raising the possibility that one or more poisoners was at work on each of the four days of competition.
There are also claims that dogs have been poisoned in previous years.
