Crufts 2026 roll call

[druid]

And yet fell down the internet rabbit hole watching Crufts and deciding on fantasy dogs-there are several litters of long haired gsps around!

Delighted to see a Dandie Dinmont, I would definitely have chosen him (her? OH was asking why it had pigtails in the ears!) as an endangered breed, would be great to generate interest, plenty of breeders on Champdogs, no litters, tho.

GLPs....GSPs are a different breed!

They're not even the same breed origins....which i didn't know until I met those owned by a HHOer!

Munsterlanders and GLPs are the same breed split historically while GWP and GSP share their heritage!

I love my long pointy but he has opinions that the springers dont!

The GSD was spun because the vet deemed she was "too extreme for the public". Whatever your view on modern GSDs I do not feel this is a decision a vet should make. I have now seen a video of her in the BoB challenge and she was calm, sound and not imo extreme.

And Roswitha Dannenberg (SV presidedent) was there so the cynic in me wonders if it was political/making a point.

It's fine though, more people will just end up supporting the system with mandatory health testing and working qualifications.
