Welsh_red 4,309 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Still decent ones about if you want one. That one looks stunning Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGD 6,385 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Are those ones in the ad constantly squatting or do they have short back legs? Obviously they're still terrible, crippled examples of the breed but their back legs have been stretched back in those pics, the slope to their backs won't be anywhere near as extreme when they're standing naturally. Why they think standing them like that makes them look good I have no idea. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

offtheradar 175 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 The sire has his own Facebook page, the sad thing is the pup in the advert isn't the worst one. Wish I knew how to put up a link to the pictures Quote Link to post Share on other sites
northern lad 2,292 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 If you think the pics are bad you want to have a look at one on the move Just happened to switch over a year or two back when crufts was on and the GSDs were in the ring,nothing short of cruelty....a pals mam had one from show stock ,paid a fortune for it,very intelligent dog and friendly.Ended up living its last year or so with its back legs strapped into a harness with wheels on it,hips fooked 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

walshie 2,804 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 That's disgusting. To cripple a dog to ponce around a ring with? The Kennel Club have a lot to answer for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 29,664 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 It will never happen of course......but at what point will the Rspca ever get involved with these breeds.........the everyday man gets lifetime bans for intentionally causing suffering to an animal yet here these Kc scum are doing the exact same thing across the board and getting paid for it !......i cant make my mind up whos worse the Kc for doing it or the Rspca for allowing it. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Truther 1,579 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 You breed dogs and try and get them as physically able as you can, proper athletes, but use them for hunting, or their original purpose, and you're a pariah. Then these f***ing cretins breed for looks/fashion causing suffering/bad health, and nothing is said or done about it.........something wrong somewhere 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
byron 1,093 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Still decent ones about if you want one. agree there matey...but my old bitch had a back as straight as the one in the pic,and I thought she would never go of her legs like these slopey poor bxstards..but at twelve year old[good age] she did..i can remember saying to the vet almost pleading him to tell me it was'nt hip dysplacia he told me it was her nerve endings that got her before I had her put down..miss that old bitch,,we had some fun together...

northern lad 2,292 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 The only way it will change is if the breed standard is altered and the judges stop "putting up" unhealthy dogs for top honours....if they stop winning in the ring trust me ,the exhibitors will stop breeding them that way Its absolutely rife in the show world,breeding to exagerations,caring nowt for the breeds physical welfare....the main reason Id never have another Bullmastiff is because of all the associated health problems,they are whats known as a "head breed",all the judges are now interested in is whats in front of the collar.....another breed that now suffers from bad hips/skin and breathing problems Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neems 2,406 Posted October 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Can you imagine if the KC said all dogs from working breeds must now perform their intended function to at least an intermediate standard to be able to be shown? What % of these poor animals would be capable of that? 2-3%? probably less imo That would sort things out imo,will never happen because dog shows are full of old women and queers,but if a new kennel club type org was set up that would be the only way to go imo.
