Crufts 2013

We are just watching the terrier judging. All look nice, although the staffy looked very unhappy and may have been lame shame because it looked a nice dog.

Fred is growling at all the naughty doggies on tv.

I've told him to watch and learn, we should be there next year :yikes:

 

[Dizzy]

The skye terrier won the group

 

[MandyPug]

The PBGV takes the hound group!

Nooo we haven't watched that part yet lol. Booo!

 

[MandyPug]

Oops. Thought you would be watching the live stream!

Didn't even look at the time stamps. My bad.

 

[Kirsten&Gypsy]

I was disappointed with the hound group. I reallyreally loved that borzoi! Absolutely gorgeous! The whippet was also nice.

 

[Dizzy]

No, it's on while I'm at work! Hoping to catch it live over the weekend if its on.

The lameness of the Stafford is a bit of a scandal.

 

[Sapphire-Light]

I wonder if they are going to do the "vet check" like last year, and stir the pot even more. opcorn:

 

[PWCorgi]

Where is the live stream?!

Yes, this is now mandatory for certain breeds and welcomed by most people as a good thing!

Well... Except those with dogs that are known for particular health issues, but that's the point!!

Someone asked about health checks- and apparently they did do them again this year and they all passed. http://www.crufts.org.uk/news/all-high-profile-breeds-pass-veterinary-checks-crufts-today

Just heard Fred's uncle got best dog in breed and his cousin took best puppy in breed

His uncle is still owned by the breeder and Fred actually beat the puppy in our class at the champ show in Manchester! We took first and they took second

She was lame in the BOB judging, which video I've seen, and rumor has it she was lame when judged in the classes as well, but I haven't seen video of that. (realistically, she must have been, since she was lame for BOB). She should not have won. The FB groups and message boards are pretty fired up about it.

She's done a lot of winning, and maybe the judges just wanted to give her this one last win, but it was the wrong choice. A real shame, and a slap in the face to all the quality bitches there who were not lame. And of course, the dog CC winner, who's movement was irreproachable.

Not only does she limp, you can see she keeps trying to put her front foot out to balance herself, and the handler resets it. She shouldn't have been in the ring.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious she's limping. I also was like 'huh' when she jumped on the judge a little at the end, and he acted like he'd been electrocuted.

Morgan is best of breed

How exciting! Now everyone has to cheer on the gsp in the gundog group!!! Would be aaaaaaaamazing to get him into the final group!! They took 4 out of the 6 gsp results. Very happy for them!

Eeeeeeeeek!

I noticed that! She was clearly bring exuberant and friendly.... Weird reaction IMO for a judge!
