The winner was the whippet, who looked extremely chilled for a whippet. But she'd only just been lifted onto the podium when someone, presumably a protester, ran into the ring, just behind the podium. The whippet owner immediately snatched up her dog and some security guards (I assume) ran after the protestor and removed them. As usual, the cameras moved away from the 'interesting stuff', and cut to a shocked Clare Balding talking from the side of the ring into a microphone that didn't work.
Eventually calm was restored, the whippet was returned to the podium, and they carried on. But now her ears were back and she was shaking a little. What I noticed most was that when she was 'posing' earlier, her tail curved between her back legs and pointed to the ground. After the affray, it curved between her legs but now curved back up, pointing at her belly.
I can't find anything to say what the protestor - assuming they were protesting - was protesting about, but to be honest there's plenty of good reasons to protest about dog showing at this level.
