KC CRUFTS AND THE BBC

[labsnlurchers 39]

Just something a freind of mine mentioned, why dont the BBC cover the BASC GAMEKEEPERS CLASSES at crufts this year, the entrants are all pedigree dogs that work on shoots and so obviously have to be healthy, then there is also the young handler to consider within these classes all up and coming working dog owners, trainers and breeders, should be encouraged imo. Maybe seeing all the healthy pedigree working dogs would encourage the KC to implement rules in the other breeds similar to the standards that working dogs are bred too?

Whats everyone elses thoughts?

I wasnt aware that "working breeds" had breed standards other than their KC one?? Anyway its all irelevant as the BBC arent covering it this year...which is good news for the rest of us as there will be less time pressure and much more room and hopeflly more like a dog show than a circus production.

KC, not worth the time of day and Crufts is always a joke. As for the BBC, they're a bigger joke in my opinion
