Choo-tai of Egham

 * ... that Best Champion at Crufts in 1913, Choo-tai of Egham, was poisoned and killed later that year, something that was attributed to Suffragettes?
 * Reviewed: Baltic states
 * Comment: Did a random search on the British Newspaper Archive and was surprised at what I found!

 * Symbol voting keep.svg Article is new enough and long enough, and written in a neutral way with verifiable reliable sources, although I am not a paid member thus I must AGF. QPQ done. Hook is written in a neutral manner, and is very interesting. &#39;&#39;&#39;tAD&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 19:05, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
 * "Crufts" had been piped to "Cruft's". I removed the pipe. The official website does not use an apostrophe, and neither does the Wikipedia article. I can't reach the source used in the Choo-tai article, but even if that source erroneously uses the apostrophe, we should do it the correct way. M AN d ARAX  •  XAЯA b ИA M  08:46, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah, that was deliberate. Prior to The Kennel Club taking over Crufts following the second world war, it had an apostrophe as it was run by the man himself. I can't remember exactly what year they dropped it, but needless to say in 1913, it was there. But I guess it is correct for the present reader as that is how it is written currently.
