Everytime a new dog kept popping up I found myself saying "omg there so beautiful ! I hope they win!" Lololol they are all great dogs ! Congratulations everyone !

[@xxgagalady]

The borzoi melts my heart ❣

[@roopanarumugambabu]

Scrambled Egg hi

[@ancientartifacts2157]

And your melting mine lol ☺️

[@adamseddon1847]

Why

[@annaloveless4107]

My favorites are the greyhound and the whippet. But they are all so beautiful.

[@Rocadog]

Whippet is amazing

[@angelanicholson951]

What a WHIPPET!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!

[@typicallkross4306]

Grayhound is 100% better then a whippet

[@linthoisanayumnam4376]

29:04 "This is perhaps the noisiest hound in the group. They were bred to bark when they found.." Finnish Spitz: woof woof!!

[@Sinpathie]

This basset hound is definitely better looking than the others I’ve seen.

[@lisathaviu1154]

I love how the commentators kept talking about aloofness and dignity of hounds. I agree with this as to some of the sight hounds, but I have had bassets and a greyhound and there is nothing aloof about these dogs!

[@coveyssteve]

There is nothing aloof about any of them once they know you. The sighthounds look elegant , but they are regular dogs and some of them are pretty goofy.

[@johannaj3834]

Whippet has lovely movement.

[@kimmackenzie5002]

I have a whippet and sometimes she can really get moving. People will stop and watch with amazement and joy as she runs with crazy speed and of course the acting nuts. She's my pride and joy.

[@xxx4651]

Love all the sighthounds. My fav go to Borzoi and Greyhound!

[@kerriannewhybrow4382]

[@cj222100]

My favorite was the Hamilton one, can't believe it didn't maken the final group! But, they were all gorgeous dogs

[@OverlandTT]

3:56 it's amazing to see a Pure Breed (the Greyhound) here, they're so majestic and elegant.

[@ib4300]

Miss the rough spanish sighthound with likly the same impression of an deerhound! They are beautiful and more and more rare sighthounds in its pure blood and a very old breed too.I wonder why there is no lobby for the spanish sighthoundbreeds, the galgo.español, in Europe. Never saw one in show! Beside they could come in rare colors like lilac, isabel or chocolate, but the FCI don't take a look at them at all. What a pity!

[@ThisIsARubbishName]

Awww! I love them all. The tiny dacshunds, the giant borzoi and greys. I would just want to play with them all and pat them lots. But it's beautiful seeing them on show being all hoity toity.

[@kiwaussiegirl]

I love the wire haired Dachshund. Hugs from Australia 🇦🇺 😊 👍

[@ryosukeasai4969]

Handlers/Dogs that placed did great. A lot of the handlers needs work. Lol

[@pinkflufflyunicornsdancing969]

They are all so beautiful

[@JJ-mz9hl]

They should do two separate events for sight hounds and scent hounds, a judge will almost always prefer one over the other, most often sight hounds are the most aesthetically pleasing.

[@riosulysto2068]

FCI dog shows made that separation, in those shows there are 10 groups

[@annaloveless4107]

I like dog shows,to see the beautiful dogs being shown.

[@bluejae825]

thanks, I love all of them

[@alexastirling4385]

So lovely to see an Irish Wolfhound make the top 4.

[@Salodanger75]

No no no.... Pharaoh dog and whippet was my favourite.

[@samanthahewer5842]

just seems like their picking favourites lol

[@alew1133]

Pharaoh Hound by far is my fav

[@Te3time]

I didnt know dachshound had miniature versions lol arent they tiny enough already

[@LoveusSlothus]

Lol , actually standard Dachshunds are more of a medium sized dog, often jokingly described as “a dog and a half” at length..it’s their little chicken drummette legs that give em the impression that there smaller than they are. Think of standard Doxies as low riders..big/wide, sturdy, & low to ground

[@calistyle8965]

haha im watching this high asf where do i sign up to be a runner lmaooo

[@katesszz]

You dont sign up. Its a long, complicated journey of countless hours learning the tricks to this. And they dont just run. Part of the challenge is to make it look easy. It is the hardest sport ive ever done

Regarding the Dachshund @21.20: Dachs = badger, Hund= dog = badgerdog. Though it´s correct that they are called Dackel in Austria and Germany

[@AnnemieM]

Thanks for you reply. I want to mention as well that that speaker has no idea how you pronounce the preed correctly, he sounds rather ridiculous.

[@dalzoi]

We say Dox hund here in the US. The tv announcers as well as the show announcer are all saying dax hund. As long as they aren't saying DASH hound... that drives me nuts!

[@marcelzimmermann1637]

Nette Auswahl, der IW Platz 4 ist nicht gerechtfertigt hätte keine Platzierung bekommen dürfen. Whipped war nicht Schlecht. meine persöhnliche Reihung: Pharao, Rauhaar Dachs, Afghane, Whippet.

[@賈德戴蒙]

這是選什麼？選美?還是品種?還是……

[@KayDaWox]

I don't get how they choose winners....

[@toddbennett7157]

As they are all different breeds with different characteristics, the dogs do not compete against one another. They compete against their own breed "standard of perfection", which is a written, idealized description of the breed in all aspects; size, color, eye shape, coat length, markings, proportions, gait, EVEYTHING. Whichever dog conforms most closely with it's standard should be considered the winner. While there will unfortunately always be politics on judging, it's NOT supposed to be a popularity contest.

[@ucanthandlethehandle]

My fave group! All sighthounds are absolutely gorgeous. My beloved/worshiped & adored Saluki needed to be euthanized in January and the missing her's killing me. I love seeing the breeds not recognized by the AKC. We've got the Bluetick Coonhound (and my family has one, too), and y'all have the Bleu de Gascogne. :) And other lovely ones...the Sloughi and Azawakh, the Griffon Fauve de Bretagne, the Hamiltonstovare, the Segugio, etc. Thrilled for Tease! Brindle Whippets seem to the winningest ones...interesting.

[@Oakleaf700]

Missing a beloved dog hurts like heck..... Salukis are quite unusual nowadays...Where we live they are the 'rarest' of the sighthounds, to be seen out and about,[ compared to Greys , Whippets and Lurchers] ..in the 1990's there seemed to be more about. They are very 'aloof' with people they don't know, like hounds generally..they do seem to be one person dogs.

[@ehvanpereyra4517]

Looks like the mini dachshunds are still puppies and the standards are grownups already. I dont know if all of the six varieties are all adults or the minis are just that freaking small , need some research haha

[@dalalalrashidi9470]

[@warriorwolfehh]

I can't help but notice how overweight most of the owners are...why is that? :/

[@dastardlyman]

its "feature" of modern life sadly

[@ShugaAnnSpyce]

Why does it matter?? Everyone isn't going to fit your standard in this world. Get over it and yourself.

[@jpah8944]

Because dumb arse to get many of the sight hounds to stride out nicely and show off their wonderful gaits you need the handler to be able to move gracefully with them. Not waddle across the ring like a fat penguin.

[@DiamondLife_96]

Obesity is really high in the UK, it’s a shame you’d think that having a dog would keep people more active and fit

[@wzukr]

You´re aware that the people showing the dogs are very often not their owners? BTW, it´s a dog show and not a show were humans need to be judged from you.

[@patstokes3615]

Dotson, being called a sausage dog isn't as bad as what we Americans call them as Winny Dogs. I really thought the judge gave it all attention. He really each it's due respect.

[@danielledewitt1]

Dachshund.

[@Clem_Fandango11]

I have a rescued Sloughi and Greyhound. Neither of my dogs look like those two examples. I feel sorry for the Sloughi, I get the feeling these judges know sweet fa about the breed and it gets overlooked.

[@lorlorslinger9617]

Clem Fandango Sloughis look lovely dogs. I had a rescue Lab x Greyhound lurcher. Her previous owner thought that because she had greyhound in her, she should be stick thin (she was almost emaciated). I don't care if it's breed standard, the poor Sloughi shouldn't be shown that thin. Slim with muscle looks so much better.

[@Clem_Fandango11]

LorLor Slinger I agree, that example looks way too thin. My Sloughi has his ribs showing but that one just looks ridiculous and unhealthy. It should be between 25 and 30 KGS....mine is 29. My rescued racing grey also is nowhere near as thin as that grey in the arena. She's 31kgs which is pretty much the perfect weight.

[@sumangiri9882]

Clem Fandango hcnfnxj

[@Clem_Fandango11]

Suman Giri eh?

[@Sinpathie]

Clem Fandango greyhounds are supposed to look like this. Racing rescues usually fatten up a bit when you rescue them. The sloughi needs to like like this. Any less and they would both be considered underweight, a bit more and it would be overweight. They can’t hold fat very well.

[@andysmith7741]

@@toddbennett7157 Yeah, I know, I've had them for over thirty years...My own line are every bit as well bred as any pedigree and vastly healthier than most too. But the KC is run by stuck-up nincompoops who wouldn't know what makes a good dog if you beat them over the head with it.

Horrible announcers!

[@susanlamley5729]

Ban this vile show! It only benefits the owners and not the dogs. The Kennel Club talk about welfare, most of todays dogs are suffering awful health problems thanks to the show standard look, German shepherds with sloping backs, pugs/bulldogs that can hardly breathe, bassett hounds with such short legs that can hardly support their overweight bodies and cavalier king Charles spaniels with their skulls to small for their brains(I own one of these that has syringomyelia and epilepsy) so Ive seen first hand how cruel breeding for looks not welfare is. My dog was sold at 8mths old to me as he was to big for the show ring, to me he is a loving pet that is lucky to have reached over 10yrs old and still running and enjoying life despite his problems which are controlled with drugs. Any show that seeks perfection over welfare is wrong and should be banned for good!

[@danielledewitt1]

Susan Lamley Oh you must be one of the PETA protestors, made yourselves look very silly.

[@kazbar7611]

couldn't agree more. Dogs should be breed for health and quality of life. Not some stupid idolised beauty standard. The head of the Rspca agrees with you.

[@kazbar7611]

+Kathryn Loubser Oh and I'm not stupid. I just love dog's and hate to see them abused.

[@wilmab4120]

Maybye not ban, but change the standards of breeds so that the priority is health and not looks, and also make it possible to show real working dog lines that are healthier so they can breed with those dogs that are healthy and also keep the working standars. A grey elkhound with bad health is impossible to hunt with and therefore the working lines are often pretty healthy, at least if you compare to a lot of other dogs like pugs and french bulldogs etc.

[@chromberries7329]

Wilma Båskman yes, fantastic. don't ban the shows, just show off the pure natural look of the dog.. not mutations.
