We done our part to help preserve a piece of British cultural history by owning two from a vulnerable breed. Highly recommend the Sealyham Terrier as a wonderful house companion.

[@maryannsimms7189]

The Sealyham is such a great little dog. We love our Ollie so much.

[@debbieadkins4079]

I have a Sealyham too and can’t recommend them highly enough. Such fantastic characters 😀

[@iknowyouwanttofly]

I have a sealyham named Hugo. Will probably have atleast one for the rest of my life

[@kc1973able]

Yes I too own a Smooth Fox terrier that has now become on this list for 2023 ❤️

[@itstipacanoeandrileytoo3405]

I love ALL the Spaniels (Go Clumber!), Hounds, Retrievers and Herding sweeties they are such LOVELY dogs.

[@Donutdove]

Why get a doodle when u can get a otterhound or Wheaton terrier.

[@jaegerthedane3245]

Or a poodle, Schnauzer, Havanese, and any other hypoallergenic breed.

[@Donutdove]

@@jaegerthedane3245 second that

[@dippertheservicepupintrain1537]

Or poodle, Portuguese water dog, Lagotto romagnolo, Barbado da terceira, Portuguese sheepdog, old english sheepdog, barbet, irish water spaniel, spinone Italiano, black Russian terrier, bearded collie, Bouvier des flandres, briard, and many other breeds that look like doodles

[@maggiepatterson7949]

I love my rescues but I see the value of keeping these breeds. What I do not agree with are "designer" dogs...cockapoo, etc. They do not help the breeds, nor the rescues, IMHO

[@findsilenceinnoise]

Couldn't agree more. I always have rescues but value real and historic breeds. I had a rescue Old English Sheepdog and she was a wonderful dog, devoted, joyful and loving. Unfortunately she died suddenly aged 3. I can't stand all the designer poodle cross types and find them very annoying. Get so upset people are breeding things like 'sheepadoodles' when they could just have a real OES. Absolutely no need for designer dogs and a lot of them have issues like resource guarding anyway then get given up to rescues adding to the rescue problem. :(

[@Donutdove]

100 percent. Designer dogs as popular as ever while dog breeds that resemble like the Wheaton and otterhound are on the verge of extinction.

[@Mustaine1ify]

@@findsilenceinnoise I know someone who brought a Jackshit(apparently it's a Jack Russell/ Shitzu cross)for £2000. Where as I sold my Gordon Setters for £800....No comparison.

[@findsilenceinnoise]

@@Mustaine1ify a jackshit. What a joke, it's unbelievable yet I have no doubt it is true. People probably wanted them for the name. As for Gordon Setters, what beautiful dogs!

[@fishnuggets6624]

Designer dogs are bred for money

[@daylaholleman9584]

I own a Portugese Water Dog which is more popular in Europe but most people don't even know about them in North America. I don't understand why people are still breeding doodles when there are so many alternative breeds that already have a standard.

[@dawnderbique6722]

We have owned at least 4 Gordon Setters. They are a wonderful breed! But love the other breeds here too!

[@dannysingh3021]

I am former Gordon Setter owner. I agree they are great dogs!

[@deanfirnatine7814]

I had no idea some of these breeds were considered "vulnerable" breeds, bloodhounds are not uncommon in the US for example

[@wanneske1969]

I doubt Gordon Setters and Bearded collies are rare in the Uk either

[@alexisreece7146]

I have an English Setter. AKC’s adjectives for them are “Friendly, Mellow, and Merry” and while My boy has quite the personality, he possess all three of those traits and is my constant companion. We often get get many compliments on how handsome he is, though I wish they were more popular. My grandpa used them for years as an aid in the field and now I have one in his memory.

[@-Keekaleeka]

Me and my husband have two! A 4 year old female and a 3 year old male, such a cool breed, so incredibly sweet and goofy.

[@Mustaine1ify]

@@-Keekaleeka If I didn't love Gordon's so much I'd definitely get an English. Such kind dogs, so intelligent yet equally daft.

[@teijaflink2226]

What I thought bearded collies and old english sheep dogs where popular, they are such amazing, sweet dogs and perfect pets, perfect with kids.

[@wevvyj5843]

I'd love a bearded collie

[@imjusthereforthecomments4920]

I have 3 Old English. I live in the US and both breeds seem more popular here.

[@nerf.ashton]

it depends on the region! this is based off of statistics from the UK and ireland i think, so in other places they may be more popular

[@MackerelCat]

It would be sad to lose any of these breeds.

[@Embracing01]

If people aren't interested in the breed mainly as a pet and if there isn't enough puppies being born through lack of breeders then I fear they will be lost.

[@karinjohansson7262]

They are not that near to disappear. They are popular in many other countries.

[@maggiepatterson7949]

Since there are so few of these breeds left, maybe breeders need to advertise more, or price the dogs a little cheaper so more people could own them? I know the risks of that but if not that, what are the breeders doing to continue the lines?

[@rachelwilbur9512]

It’s not the price of the dogs that is the issue. For profit “doodle” breeders often price their dogs at double or triple the cost of a responsibly bred dog from a reputable breeder. I think lack of awareness of these breeds combined with a strong “adopt don’t shop” culture has pushed many of these breeds to scarcity. The breeders are extremely dedicated to preserving their breeds but with aging breeders and less new people getting into the breed they are probably looking for others interested in breed preservation who would consider getting involved in breeding and helping preserve the breed themselves or at least having their pets be great breed ambassadors to the public.

[@jaegerthedane3245]

Keep in mind that ethical breeders don't make a profit off the puppies they sell, in fact, they rarely break even. And they won't advertise more because they will only sell to people knowledgeable about the breed.

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

Its lack or awareness and lack of irresponsible breeders that keep numbers low. Its not like these dogs are endangered world wide in fact the fact that a corgi is on this list is shocking.

[@Gamdursol]

I have a deerhound and I paid on the low end of normal for him, so I’m not sure that is the problem.

[@Whitby_Abbeys_Ghost]

Mastiffs are so wonderful! I can't believe they're endangered!

[@mischa6688]

The sheep dog.. and all the other dogs 💛 Been bingewatching crufts videos.

[@Perruno1]

Hermosos perritos, para todos los gustos, todas las razas son lindas, gracias Crufts, saludos 🐾🙌

[@jackiedawes1184]

Such beautiful breeds

[@tatyanasysoeva9293]

Ирландский вольфхаунд шикарная порода!

[@Lapinporokoira]

I would love an Otterhound I was quite surprised to see the Bearded Collie, Irish wolfhound, bloodhound and Old English Sheepdog here

[@2charliep]

Having had two Welsh Springers, I’m sad they’re still at risk. They’re lovely dogs very pretty, a nice size full of fun, good natured and full of go. Not good with nothing to do though, both mine could hoover up all and any exercise on offer, I never remember either of them ever appearing tired. The Duracell bunny of the dog world.

[@karinjohansson7262]

It is as many Softies registered here in Sweden last year than in UK. They are very popular here actually.

[@CostaWanti]

In Norway to😉

[@tinyurlCVHTELEGRAPH]

Some of them are on my favorites list. Others are shocking that they're under 300 pupperoonies...

[@jaykay1053]

My Godmum showed Dandie Dinmonts all her life and suffered a terminal stroke in the ring last year. Knowing that she went while doing what she loved most brings peace to me. I miss her competitive spirit but most of all, her.

[@WinterfellEl]

I'm a little confused about how they decide which breeds are vulnerable. Large Munsterlanders, Smooth Collies and German longhaired pointers I am pretty sure had less than 300 puppies in a year?

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

might have to do with entry numbers

[@cpierce803]

Are they a recognized breed by the Kennel Club? That’s one of the requirements

[@WinterfellEl]

@@cpierce803 yes, they are recognised in the UK. They are shown in the gundog and herding group.

[@wevvyj5843]

Terriers seem to be out of fashion. Cockapoos everywhere mostly owned by baffoons who have no idea how to conduct themselves on a dog walk.

[@dannysingh3021]

I've owned a Gordon Setter and they are lovely dogs. They have an easy-going temperament and they are pretty calm in the house, as long as they get some exercise. Many people are intimidated by the long coat, but as a field dog you don't need to keep the coat that long.

[@kimarellano3791]

One reason why some breeds are vulnerable is because many of their breeders have such arrogance as they are only good enough to own one . Why do I say this , because years ago I wanted a Dandie Dinmont and it was absolutely ridiculous what the breeders demanded .

[@rpliegos]

Totally agree... I have tried to acquire a Smooth Collie from a quality show breeder to import into Mexico since the breed is non existent here (even rough collies are extremely rare) to basically be my pet (I own two rough collies and one is almost 12 y/o so I do have experience with the breed). Breeders either never reply or say they have reserved puppies for the next 20 years... So in the end what most people do (not me) is end up buying from someone else (meaning a non reputable breeder)...

[@seicle20]

I have a dandie. I went to breed shows, learned about them and met some breeders. We got our boy in less than a year. Interested to know what the demands were?

[@dobermanlover4eva]

Why was the smooth collie not present?

[@Embracing01]

I agree.

[@katyr2382]

Looks like they were a few missing. Wonder if some were eliminated in the pre judging that was mentioned or maybe not all breeds entered

[@ritawing1064]

Why do they keep them up so short?

[@Mustaine1ify]

All real dogs with real jobs. Not for lazy people, which is why they are all vulnerable.

[@niamhhoran]

What "real job" is the King Charles bred for, exactly?

[@Mustaine1ify]

@@niamhhoran I'll give you that one.

[@cathygarrick9957]

I've always had terriers. It's a shame to see so many in the vulnerable breeds. I also love the bloodhound. I would love to own a bloodhound.

[@dinosaursaregreen4859]

I have a question. When holding the leash, should it be tight? Are you not allowed to have a loose leash? Also, I love mastiffs, and leonbergers. They are my favourite breeds. I have a 9 months old mastiff German Shepard mix. She is very well trained (thanks to me). She is an amazing dog, she guards the family, and is very lovable. She is a lazy goofball. When she’s playing with other dogs, she’ll walk up to me and sit next to me when she’s tired and wants to go home.

[@susiekeel6732]

Some handlers keep a tight lead to keep the dog's head up & the dog under control. Personally, I always showed my own dogs on a loose lead. They loved showing & all of the attention. So, yes, it is absolutely allowed to have a loose lead. 👍

[@dinosaursaregreen4859]

@@susiekeel6732 thanks for clearing it up for me :)

[@MsHburnett]

I buy pedigree registered kennel club animals and the kennel prohibits the sold pups from breeding and registering the heritage line.the laws to protect the kennel owners are now backfiring on the breed.

[@katyr2382]

Often breeders will lift those restrictions if they can see the dog has grown to be a good example of the breed with no faults or health issues developed and they agree with sire/dam (in my experience anyway)

[@Mustaine1ify]

@@katyr2382 Agreed, I've never known any breeder not lift the restrictions.

[@chosenone4224]

I wouldn’t allow people to breed my dogs either unless I trust them . 99.9 percent of people shouldn’t breed , either have no true care for future health or just want profit, I’d hate for someone to ruin the legacy I tried to build.

[@thatdairykid1461]

Hound owner for life so sad to see the blood hound on the Vulnerable Breed list.

[@super_average]

Ah, it hurts my heart to see a lot of these breeds now vulnerable....

Not to be rude but a lot of these ladies/women, need to invest in sportsbras. Holy.

[@colmastro4373]

The king Charles is vulnerable? Lol they're one of the most popular breeds here in Australia. I'm a groomer in west Melbourne and i alone have a client list of around 200 of them

[@BarkinBelieveIt]

It was a King Charles Spaniel, not a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, which has higher breed numbers.

[@niamhhoran]

You're getting confused with the Cavalier King Charles. I'm surprised you don't know the difference if you have 200 of them as clients, their faces are totally different. It's a shame grooming is so poorly regulated, when "groomers" can't tell breeds apart.

[@colmastro4373]

@@BarkinBelieveIt i never mentioned a cavi lol, you inserted an assumption. I don't believe i stuttered and i know my breeds, i said king charles and i meant king charles, if i meant a cavi i would have said cavi.

[@clarevanderwolde837]

The King Charles Spaniel is just as vulnerable here in Australia as they are in the UK. Between 2010 and 2020 there were only 304 'Charlies' registered in the whole of Australia. In comparison there were 27,969 Cavaliers registered. So there is absolutely no way you have 200 Charlies on your books at a salon in Melbourne. Many many pet owners mistakenly call Cavaliers a King Charles Cavalier, perhaps like them you are getting your breed name confused.

[@susiekeel6732]

In the USA, the Charlie is called the English Toy Spaniel to avoid confusion with the Cavalier.

[@kalani4057]

I've 4 Irish Water Spaniels. Purebreeds need preserved. Why own a "Fancy" breed sorry a MUTT when a purebred is far superior.

[@pheebsbee1280]

The King Charles spaniel has been bred into mutation - DON'T SUPPORT THE BREED!
