Crufts roll call!

The Irish wolfhound

Just said to OH that’s my ambition.
He commented, you said Cecil was the best dog ever….
So yes, a little bit different but

 

[MurphysMinder]

I don’t know if it’s true but have seen that the bulldog failed the vet check

 

[ester]

True, they reported that, but they didn't know what had happened with the shar pei.

Same source said the Shar peis handler hurt their leg .

 

[ester]

skin fold dermatitis is being mentioned as the bulldog failure.

 

[NinjaPony]

Great to see a papillon in the top four for the Toy group but can’t help feeling that the little long haired chihuahua was robbed. It was a superstar!

 

[blackcob]

The bulldog BoB in 2020 failed on a skin condition which I think is possibly being conflated with this one? I'm surprised it was put up again tbh (it was also BoB last year), when the KC had to put out a statement defending it last time round.

 

[ester]

Ah maybe, sure we will find out for sure at some point. People seem surprised that it's not all on google already

 

[ester]

ps do you also have a black glittery dress for showing

 

[some show]

Rooting for the Irish Wolfhound, but not expecting him to win. It's a pretty nice line-up all in all!

Thinking of health, brachy breeds should definitely have done form of commentary about their issues. At the the GSD was capable of bouncing into the ring.

I really think Crufts should just ban brachy breeds. Given the KC are doing bugger all to improve breed health, a big public worldwide show could make a huge difference.

 

[blackcob]

I've just PM'd you ester, there is form.

Small dog had a reserve, no glitter involved!

Dobe or Irish wolfhound for me. Both outstanding. There is something really special about the wolfhound I think.

I imagine it will be the standard poodle - it usually is.

 

[splashgirl45]

The pug looked very flat faced to me, so no improvement from last year sadly. I like the terrier for best in show

Me too , and not just cos I’ve seen Real Thing many times , and Chris is a really nice guy

 

[millikins]

I like the Romanian, or is it Italian gun dog, but having owned a poodle I'd like him to win.

 

[fetlock]

Oh this is a tough one.

In terms of presence and joie de vivre on the night though, I'm going for the poodle, with Orca in reserve.

(heart lies with the terrier)

 

[ester]

Italian

 

[Nicnac]

Please not the bloody poodle! Oh well done the Bobtail!

 

[Nicnac]

Excellent! Such a gorgeous dog.

called it!

 

[fetlock]

Pleased with that result. Poodle aside, as they always draw the eye anyway, Orca I felt sparkled the most on that final go round

 

[P3LH]

Thought the OES was awful personally. Especially the movement. Sad the wolfhound didn’t get it.

This years commentary has driven me mad. Miss the days of Jessica Holm & Peter Purves.

 

[splashgirl45]

Orca was a delight , obviously loving it..

 

[some show]

Yes, very happy girl! Very happy for them both!

 

[Squeak]

A wonderful result for a relatively unknown breed. I thought Orca put in a great show and deserved it.

 

[millikins]

called it!

Pure luck, but I thought she was a lovely, chunky little dog.

 

[blackcob]

All over for another year then. My feet and my bank account hurt. Small dog is spark out and increasingly big dog is still bouncing off the walls with excitement at her haul of new things.

 

[Horseysheepy]

I loved the CKCS and the Wire fox terrier.

I was convinced the poodle would win, with Wolfhound in reserve.

It was a strong line up!

 

[Love]

We’ve just got back from watching and so glad the LR won! lit up the whole place, loving life and that little tail never stopped wagging. Not sure if it translated through the TV or not. Would have loved the terrier in reserve. Although not my type, no denying the poodle was fabulous! A really lovely day
