🌟🎉 CONGRATULATIONS VIKING & TEAM! 🎉🌟
What an exhilarating journey it has been from our live broadcast announcement to witnessing the crowning of Viking, the magnificent Australian Shepherd, as the Crufts 2024 Best in Show winner! Streaming live from NEC Birmingham and seeing Viking, co-owned by Melanie Raymond, John Shaw, and Kerry Kirtley, clinch the title was a moment of pure joy and pride.
A heartfelt applause to Viking's team for their dedication and hard work. Your success is a testament to the unwavering bond and teamwork that exists within the world of dog showing. Melanie's words, "Pinch me! This is everyone's dream," resonate with us all, reminding us of the magic and prestige of Crufts.
It was a privilege to share this moment with all of you, the passionate Australian Shepherd community, and our friends, both old and new, who participated and supported our beloved Aussies. Your enthusiasm and support make events like these unforgettable.
To every Australian Shepherd that graced the competition, you were all stars in your own right. Your grace, beauty, and spirit were inspiring to witness. Special thanks to the entire dog-loving community who joined us live or in spirit, making our coverage a collective celebration of love for these amazing animals.
As we wrap up another successful Crufts, I am filled with gratitude. Thank you to everyone who joined us on this journey, shared in our excitement, and supported the Australian Shepherd community. Let's carry forward this spirit of unity and passion for our furry friends into future adventures.
For those who missed the live action or wish to relive the incredible moments, the streaming on Facebook will remain available for you to enjoy. Additionally, we are preparing a special video featuring highlights and more from the event, which will be uploaded in the next days to our YouTube channel at Australian Shepherds-Global.
