Friday's Schedule!

Oh my paws- the first day of Crufts 2013 is already over!
 Congratulations to the first qualifiers of the ultimate spectacle that is Best In Show that will be held on Sunday; I'm very pleased for you both!
Tomorrow promises to be another exciting day with a schedule like it is! Check it out further below. You'll find that the Southern Golden Retriever Display Team will be performing; they happen to be my favourite display team of all time!

If you're visit tomorrow, remember to check out Samsung's incredible stand in Hall 3, Stand 72 as there any loads of prizes to win and great gadgets to try out! You could be walking away with a fantastic Galaxy camera which you'll be able to snap pictures of your day on. Get over there and have some fun!

20 Years of Samsung's Partnership with Crufts!

Yes, that's right: Samsung has been working to help dogs since 1993!
As a proud Partner of Crufts, this year Samsung is holding many spectacular events in and out of the biggest dog show in the world.

 At home, all Facebook users can help 2,000 dogs by using the Help-A-Dog-A-Thon app here. For every 'adoption' of a virtual pet on the app, Samsung will donate £1 to animal charity Blue Cross; the
more you play, the more dogs you help! For more information, scroll down my blog.

At the show itself, you could be in with the chance of winning a Samsung Galaxy Camera or many other things by visiting the Samsung stand in Hall 3, Stand 72. The whole stand is going to be split into various different zones (more information in previous blog post!) and, at each of these zones, there will be fantastic activities for you to try out with many of the zones letting you try out the best Samsung technology!
 A full schedule of what will be happening everyday from the 7-10th March is shown below:                                       

Visit the stand at any time on one of the four days and have some fun!
Talk soon, Jasper x

Samsung's Incredible Crufts Stand!

As an official Crufts blogger for Samsung and the Kennel Club, I've just been informed of some very exciting news: I've just found out about what Samsung's Crufts stand has to offer and, trust me, it's brilliant! I'm going to be spilling the beans in this very blog post...
 First of all, the area that they are based in Hall 3 is split up into different zones where each will hold an individual activity for you to enjoy.
The first zone is the 'Smart TV Zone' which offers a cosy area for dogs to relax. Calming music that has been proven to reduce stress in animals will be playing and humans can play snuggly videos! In addition, visitors will be able to experience the true 3D SMART effect on a TV. Not only will that be happening, at 2pm every day, staff will be showing how to play 'Angry Birds' on the SMART TV and then 30 lucky people will play the game to be in with the chance of winning an amazing prize- your very own Galaxy Camera!
The second zone is the Galaxy Note II Lounge where you can try out the new S Pen and the new features on S Note. Visitors will be able to decorate photos using the brilliant gear so why not give it a try?
The third zone allows everyone to try out the world's first LTE camera- it's the Galaxy Camera Lounge! With its huge 121.2mm screen and 21x optical zoom, you could be sitting on a comfortable couch and giving the camera a go at ease.
The fourth zone lets you create your very own postcard which you will be able to send to a loved one with different themes (either love, congratulations or thank you). Just choose a background picture, take a photo, write a message and e-mail it off!
The Chromakey Zone is a place where visitors can decorate photos using the Note S Pen and then print it off and put it in a frame where you will be able to treasure your work!
Round up, round up! The final zone is the 'Right or Wrong' Quiz Zone where an enthusiastic presenter will be hosting an interactive quiz on basic knowledge and common misunderstandings of dogs. Get involved and have some fun!

I don't know about you but I reckon Samsung's stand is going to be pretty special so visit Hall 3, Stand 72 and give all these great activities a go!.

Samsung's Work for Dogs!

Samsung has been a proud Partner of Crufts since 1993 and they still continue to help hundreds of dogs every year. This year they've partnered with Blue Cross to improve the lives of 2,000 dogs through the Help-A-Dog-A-Thon app which you can find here.
Not only do Samsung help dogs in the UK, they also help animals all around the world! The company is involved in funding Samsung Guide Dogs for the Blind, the only one of its kind in Korea, where the amount of dogs being trained is increasing every year- and that's not all. In addition to that, on the other side of the planet to me here in the UK, Samsung works in collaborating to the Royal New Zealand Foundation for the Blind Guide Dog School to ensure that its trainers are certified to the highest possible international standards!
To recognise all of Samsung's brilliant work, the company received the Lesley Scott-Ordish Award from leading UK charity PRO Dogs for its outstanding services for the benefit of dogs.
The work that Samsung do for all us doggies is incredible and I'd personally like to thank them for all of it- thanks Samsung!

Help-A-Dog-A-Thon App, Powered by Samsung

To celebrate sponsoring Crufts for 20 years, Samsung has collaborated with animal charity Blue Cross to create Facebook app Help-A-Dog-A-Thon. The idea behind the app is to get the public involved in providing much need health checks to homeless dogs being cared for by Blue Cross. However, Samsung need YOUR help to make this happen.

To help, all you need to do is 'adopt' your very own virtual rescue dog just like one of the Blue Cross canines by visiting the Crufts Facebook Page and give him all the care he needs. Just by doing this, you are supporting 2,000 dogs as this app helps raise the much-needed money that is required to fun health checks for all these cuddly canines. Every dog that comes to Blue Cross is given a full health MOT that checks the condition of the dog's skin, teeth and coat, checks his weight, sight and hearing and measures his heart rate and breathing but this treatment comes at a price that you could be helping to cover the costs of by using the Help-A-Dog-A-Thon app.

Although it only launched today, myself and many others have already 'adopted' a virtual pet; I named my Greyhound Boris and fed, walked, groomed, trained and played with him. He may only be online but I have become quite attached to my little pal!

 Remember: every virtual dog 'adopted'/ every 'Like' donated = Samsung making a contribution towards a vital health check for a Blue Cross rescue dog

 

You'll be helping dogs while having fun so why delay? Use the Help-A-Dog-A-Thon app today!
