Two reasons for this blog. The winner of the hound category at Crufts was a Norwegian Elkhound owned by namesakes of mine - Mr & Mrs Middleton. The second reason illustrates the dangers of live television and badly researched and trained presenters. Ben Fogle is meeting the winning dog & his owners. Ben "Now congratulations Mr Middleton on winning this category. All hounds of course have a particular purpose and work to do. What was the original purpose of the Norwegian Elkhound? What did they hunt?" Reply "Well they hunted elk".
Ben Fogle: "Where did they originate from? Somewhere in the north - Norway perhaps?" Reply "Yes".
Mmmmmmm - clever interviewing there Ben.
