The organisers of Crufts have said there is no evidence to suggest several dogs were poisoned at this year’s show, following reports that as many as six animals fell ill after appearing at the event.
The Kennel Club said allegations of mass poisoning were “rumour and speculation”, and there was not yet any definitive proof as to the cause of death for Jagger, an Irish setter who died less than 48 hours after leaving Crufts.
Jagger’s owners, Aleksandra Lauwers, Dee Milligan-Bott and Jeremy Bott , say they believe the three-year-old dog was fed cubes of poisoned meat during the show at Birmingham’s NEC.
