Cheating dogfaces (Crufts 2010)

Dog owners descending on Birmingham's NEC for Crufts 2010 are a bag of nerves.
While their high grade pooches are groomed and trained to near-perfection there's one thing owners can't guarantee: ceaseless good behaviour.
That's because however many hours a day a pug or staffie spends playing the violin and listening to The Archers, a tiny part of its wild animal DNA remains hard-wired to running amok with the pack.
As a result, owners can never be 110% certain that their prize fighter might not lay a huge turd on the podium or sniff another dog's arsehole. This reality has led some truly desperate owners to sneakily graft their dog's head onto their bodies. It's a control thing.
