Corkman 944 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Just flicking through TV channels and saw a German Shepard with obvious health issues. Roached back and blatant hip dysplasia! How could a dog like this be put up as an example of best of breed? The show fraternity are a sad bunch. A working dog if somehow was bred deformed like that it would be PTS. Obviously the kennel club is still working its ways?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

YOKEL 2,138 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 had a book here many moons back, Fighting sports by Capt L fitzbarnard. a great quote i always remember, he was talking of the E.B.T. but it goes for most of the working breeds...."the kennel club is the death knell for anything useful" and that was wrote in 1918!!!!

zigzag dan 784 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Last night there was dogs cowering so badly the judge couldn't touch them , dogs lying down in the ring , dogs being fed to keep their attention .....................and they were winning ..............a judge who is known to like collies and picked 2 out in the class he judged ..............it needs shutting down !!!

The one 8,402 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 They have just had a crufts pannel on the show explaining about that dog , why didn't they air the judges ? There was the one that put it up in the class then the one that put it up for the group . They both should be stripped of any judging qualification they ever had and that dog should be stripped of any award and the competitor should be banned from showing for putting a dog like that up at a show 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lenmcharristar 9,197 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 See it's mainly antis who show these dogs, they think they're the gods of the dog world and that the powder puff and totally mutant types with bad health problems win, they're against hunting and they are the blame for so many good breeds ruination 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NEWKID 26,376 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 That GSD was terrible, could barely move its back legs, a proper f***ing mess!! I liked that whippet too, came 2nd.. Mind you the missus said the westie would win as soon as it went through, not into showing at all, but it certainly showed well... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
