I thought that Crufts were stopping showing deformed, sloping back GSDs? This poor creature looked uncomfortable. WHEN will people stop messing about with this magnificent breed, it makes me cry looking at these cow-hocked creatures.

[@packer812]

Agreed. Sad to watch.

[@sandeepmagar2183]

I have a GSD, and he has a superb straight back unlike the poor GSD at crufts . They should ban breeders who still think the roached back is a breed standard and the judges should take this into account

[@lionesshuntress3591]

I saw that and was concerned if that dog has hip dysplasia! A few years ago there was major backlash from the public after Crufts announced a German shepherd with very serious hip dysplasia was best in show! What kind of judges approved of that dog with a serious health condition??

[@willcole3944]

@@lionesshuntress3591did you hear the part where they said it has to pass a vet check before being shown

[@hanginlaundry360]

I couldn't agree more. I hate seeing that weird slant back.

[@willcole3944]

@@hanginlaundry360 the dog doesn’t even have a roach back like at all

[@ravenjo7]

Tell me you know nothing about the breed without telling me you know nothing about the breed….

[@IdaMaj]

Those belgian shepherds should not have been there. Terrible handling and scared dogs… Is this the kind of temperament we want to pass on? A shivering malinos, the groenendael was so scared it couldn’t even take a treat and the laekenois tail tucked between their legs. This is heartbreaking and abusive.

[@recycledMilk]

i was genuinely shocked when i saw these dogs. the belgian shepherd family is supposed to be a focused working dog... all of these in the ring looked terrified.. if those examples were best of their respective breeds, i am very worried about the state of those breeds

[@artk8639]

@@recycledMilk really hard to see yes, but we have to keep in mind, these are show line, so they luckily do not represent the state of the working lines.

[@amethyst_moonchild]

Very poor German Shepherd example 😢

[@larciabella]

Wow those Belgian Shepherd dogs are nervous.

[@Shadowpolish]

HOW does a dog qualify for Crufts with a temperament like that.. They are supposed to be working dogs??

[@cornelia9201]

@@Shadowpolish it's so sad to watch! But I guess I have to end protection work in the future if this is the bullshit breeders breed. Luckily we also have good breeders but yeah, this is what people see and it's not a good show

[@Lucinka58]

@@Shadowpolish working dogs need to work and not enjoy anyone touching their balls ;) Just because they don't like the judge touching them, does not mean they are bad at work ...

[@susanlewington5038]

​@@Shadowpolishall the Belgian shepherds preformed beautifully in the breed rings , the gron is a multiple cc winner and has a fantastic temperament, they are all well loved pets , not robots , obviously just didn't like the judge

[@Shadowpolish]

@@susanlewington5038 Nobody is asking for them to be robots. None of the other dogs in this group are robots, but they didn't stand there half pissing themselves while their handlers gripped onto their cheeks for dear life

[@user-dl8eo6zc9z]

Sadly we still have roach back GSD

[@caz3502]

Thank goodness I'm not the only one who dislikes what they have done to a fabulous breed. I was pleased that the handler had him at a slower gait. In the past the dog has been allowed to pull way out in front, which didn't show the dog at its best. Otherwise an improvement

[@willcole3944]

Thats not a roach back lol

[@bordercollie1140]

The crowd numbers were way down at crufts this year. I think the organisers need to take a look at how the Americans put on a show like the Westminster show. I've always considered Crufts to be the biggest prize in dog showing but it seems like Westminster has currently overtaken it. Plus please stop the cruelty to the German Shepherd, that sloping back makes me so angry. It's just plain wrong.

[@nicolestone6201]

Is nobody going to talk about the shivering malinois?? and the other belgian shepherd varieties too.. WTF. This is why i'll always buy working line dogs, entirely unacceptable for a breed meant to go to war.

[@thomasbutcher3593]

They were farm dogs not for war - nor for security work.

[@Lucinka58]

if they go to war they got to work, not enjoy people touching their balls... lol

[@larciabella]

I would think the Samoyed should be in the Working group with the Huskies and not Pastoral?

[@Lucinka58]

why? it's a herding dog..... google it.

[@terloublag]

Maybe Utility because they are the Jack of all Trades and winner of none…. Coming from a Samoyed owner

I owned a Norwegian Buhund around 30yrs ago. He was an amazing dog.

[@MattyH-jz2im]

Estrela mountain dog, very few of them at crufts, 14 I think in total... Cossus should have been placed.

[@user-zf3ec5qx9x]

The puli is awesome but as per usual never gets a look in!

[@ladyjane1979]

good to see a rough collie with a beautiful and " classic" head

[@immi7662]

I’m here for the beauceron

[@Pitts_not_Pitty]

How is it: Eugenics + humans = bad But, eugenics +dogs =good?

[@pieswcentrum]

The judges look like they haven't know what is non-verbal communication in dogs. I am devastated by what I see, the fear in the bodies of dogs and the treatment of dogs as if they were objects, as thing that has no soul.

[@brittanyw8447]

is it just me or these dogs are lumpier compared to their american counterparts? or maybe american show dogs are so mutated

[@cornelia9201]

OMG why do you breed belgian sheperds and WHY are they getting praised with that mentality?! This was so sad to see. This dog is a WORKINGDOG! This material would never fit with police work or protection. And just think all hours the owners have trained these dogs so people can touch them and you end up with THAT result, just so sad! I am sorry to say this, but I would be so embarrasd if I were the breeder and my puppy did that. Just disgusting.

[@marydewar5675]

I don't see why first cross doodles can't take part.

[@cindydidsman5645]

Because this is for pure bred pedigree dogs, not cross breeds.

[@Shadowpolish]

Conformation shows aren't about who is the prettiest/fluffiest/cutest dog, but which dog looks most like their respective breed standard as per the organisation behind the show. Crosses/mixes don't have breed standards in the KC, FCI or AKC, so there's nothing to judge them against

[@Lapinporokoira]

Gsd always look awful and unwell

[@tee465]

get ready for the GSD hater comments

[@sandradavies7804]

And why not, when people are still allowed to show deformed, roach back dogs that have nothing at all in common with the proper German Shepherds I've always known.

[@eclipsechatters]

My byb german shepherd still looks better then that uncomfortable german shepherd

[@keithgriffiths9864]

It's GSD lovers who make these comments because most of us have strong, fast, healthy, fit GSDs ourselves.

[@tee465]

@@keithgriffiths9864 i have a well bred healthy gsd myself. complaining in the comments about poorly built dogs doesn't solve the issues. not buying from breeders that produce such dogs would make more sense. i would for like just once to watch a dog show without all the bitching about gsds.

have any short haired borders ever been shown at crufts?? These look so, so different to all the working dogs ive ever seen in my farming community or on trials. like dolls
