Luigi and I love to watch the Crufts Dog show, and see the Crufts Winners.
****Update 2011**** The 2011 winner of Crufts was Jet, the flat coated retriever - another gun dog win! Jet's breeder is Jim Irvine. This means that Gun dogs have now won Crufts 22 times!
I wanted to know which breed of dog had won the most so I made this pie-chart of the results. You can see that Gun dogs have won most times (21 times!).
Here is which breed won for each year:

Shh! Don't tell Luigi that Coton-De-Tulears have never been Crufts winners.
You can find out more about Crufts at Crufts.org or keep up to date with news about crufts at the Guardian.
If you would like to find out more about the breeds, then the American Kennel Club is a good place to look.
