Day 3 at Crufts: Super Saturday

It’s Super Saturday here at Crufts and you know what that means… well more, it essentially means lots, lots more. More people, more events, more finals all building to an atmospheric crescendo as the always popular Gundogs close the day in the main arena. So how can you navigate this abundance of doggy delights? Well, we do have a couple of suggestions…  

(Memories from 2024)

09:00 – There are many options, but we like to start our Super Saturday in the BP Pulse LIVE with the Scruffts Semi-Final, where the nation’s favourite crossbreeds compete for a place in tonight’s Scruffts Grand Final. Expect wagging tails, heartwarming stories, and some tough competition for the judges! 

10:30 – Why walk when the entertainment can come to you! Stay in your seats for the Hoopers Display. This fast, flowing, and low-impact sport is perfect for dogs of all shapes and sizes, with handlers and their dogs weaving, running, and leaping through the course.  

11:00 – And we close out our morning stint in the main arena with one of the UK’s most beloved breeds as the Golden Retriever Display Team take centre stage, showing off their skills and teamwork. What’s better than a sea of Goldies on the green carpet? 

11:55 – Time to stretch the legs, we suggest a pleasant meander over to Hall 3 and the YKC Ring where the Agility of the Year presentations will be getting made. It’s incredible to see just how good this younger generation is. 

12:30 – Time for that all important lunch break, and after three3 days of canine competition we’re going to leave the Show for a bit and head round the bay to Resorts World where there is a decent little selection of restaurants to choose from – we’re thinking Las Iguanas, let us know on social where you went for. 

14:00 – Time for a bit of retail therapy, and we’ll be heading to the Crufts Merch stand, located just inside the entrance way to Hall 1, to pick up a memento of the show. What T-shirt looks better, the Art of Crufts black or the classic Crufts Green?? Decisions, decisions. 

15:20 – It might be worth getting here a little earlier to ensure a good spot but it's time for the incredibly popular ‘On the Money’ game in the GCDTS Ring (Good Citizen Dog Training Scheme – in case the acronyms are all getting a bit much at this point!) 

17:40 – Finally, it’s back to the Main Arena for the run up to the big finish. The excitement builds with the Scruffts Final! After an emotional semi-final we should all have our favourites so it’s time to see which fantastic family pet will take home the crown. Expect tears, cheers, and plenty of adorable moments. 

18:25 – Stay in your seats as all eyes will be on the Gundog Display, this is a must-see event for any gundog enthusiast and the perfect complement to the Breed Final coming up next. Learn more about these skilled working breeds, their history, and how they continue to excel in the field. 

19:00 – The day ends with Group Judging for Gundogs. The stakes are high as the best of the best compete for a place in Sunday’s Best in Show Final. Which breed will claim victory and take their spot in tomorrow night’s finale? 

That’s a wrap on Gundog Day! 🐶💚 Make sure to share your favourite moments with #Crufts2025 and let us know what you’ve loved most today! One more day to go… see you tomorrow for the show’s grand finale! 🎉
