...from Crufts, and where are they advertised? I'd like to attend a dog show, but unfortunately I'm unable to attend Crufts due to family commitments.Is Crufts held on the same weekend each year?Are there any other shows that are available for spectators? I realise they won't be as big as Crufts, but I still think I'd find it interesting.

There are other dog shows in England and all over Europe. The best thing to do is to go to the countries website for dog shows. They will show the Superintendents who arrange shows in the different area. They will get show Premiums to you for what ever shows you want.

Best i can suggest is go onto the Kennel Club website.They will surely have a list of shows under kennel club rules etc.

You should check the local paper, yellow pages or maybe the internet.
