UK's Crufts plays down 'rumours' of five more dog poisonings

London

BRITAIN'S Crufts has played down reports that several more dogs were suspected poisoned at the dog show, after the death of a prize-winning Irish setter sent shockwaves through the breeding world.

A probe was launched after the owners of Thendara Satisfaction, or Jagger, claimed he was fed poisoned beef at the show, a British institution run since 1891 and that ended on Sunday.
