The husband of Jagger's owner said: "I can only hope it wasn't an act of jealousy by another competitor, but just a lunatic."
Jagger, who came second in his class at Birmingham's NEC on Thursday, is co-owned by Aleksandra Lauwers and Leicester-based breeder Dee Milligan-Bott.
'Deeply shocked'
Mrs Lauwers's husband Willem said the couple was "devastated" by the death.
"My wife has to go and give a statement to the police tomorrow and we'll see what happens," he said.
Mr Lauwers said a post mortem had showed he had been poisoned, but a full toxicology report should show more.
"We're quite successful and that can of course make people jealous," he said.
He said CCTV from the NEC was being analysed, but the number of dogs and members of public at the event could make it very difficult.
The Kennel Club, which organises Crufts, said it was unclear what had happened but it would support the police in their investigation.The Kennel Club, which organises Crufts, said it was unclear what had happened but it would support the police in their investigation.
