I didn't search for this but here I'm watching dogs during quarantine...💯

[@pluss4662]

LMAO same

[@davejjdhdhdnd6551]

Same

[@rrrrrr386]

Same here

[@amylloyd-personal6824]

the perfect and healthiest examples on the breeds too😊

[@joanadellrey5252]

same boy, same

[@breannagwozdz48]

I love how gentle the judge is with the dogs and how unique and beautiful each breed is.

[@M.elonade]

I am so happy to see the Bullmastiff getting recognition in the show ring. They are an amazing breed and I'm happy to be the loving home to one of them.

[@1dumpedviper]

I second that. I watch the Westminster dog shows every year and never see then even place!

[@laetitia7174]

Ils sont vraiment trop beaux

[@luisacama5092]

A doberman with her ears and tail intact. Had to take a second look. Absolutely beautiful. Just noticed the rottweiller's tail and had to take another look as I thought my eyes were playing tricks with me. Oh my word; so priceless.

[@pi_beta7306]

The handler was cool the way she hugged that dog. The dog walked away thinking she won the entire show

[@tamitoxicity5682]

Agreed!

[@tdk9518]

Docking and ear cropping is not allowed in the UK. Thankfully. If you don't want a dog with a tail you probably shouldn't have a dog and if you like dogs with pricked ears... Get one!

[@selinacollins2099]

it has been many years since docking & cropping were banned in most countries including the Country of Origin ( Germany) Countries following USA standard still do so anywhere that follows Country of Origin standards don't allow it

[@109367]

Idk why everyone is so surprised to see all the unmodified dogs, it's been illegal for a long time in the UK to dock and crop if not medically necessary

[@WhosAGoodDogue]

The Dogue de Bordeaux - A possible reason the DDB was disqualified: The Kennel Club introduced veterinary checks for the Best of Breed winners at all Kennel Club licensed General and Group Championship Dog Shows from Crufts 2012 onwards, in 15 designated high profile breeds. The Dogue de Bordeaux is one of those breeds. These measures were introduced to ensure that Best of Breed awards are not given to any dogs that show visible signs of problems due to conditions that affect their health or welfare. (the Dogue de Bordeaux is a large boned dog that can develop joint problems at a young age, and also being a short nose/skull dog: medical term: Brachycephalic, which can result in breathing problems) - The veterinary checks were introduced to ensure that dogs with exaggerated features do not win prizes. So, there is a good possibility that an independant Vet has assessed the Crufts 2020 Dogue de Bordeaux, and decided that it is not suitable for continuing or being selected as a future stud/dam. Maybe the dogs breathing was checked after the initial showing, and they were not happy with the results (the speed at which the dog recovered), or maybe they found some mobility issues? Without an actual statement from Crufts or the Independant Vets, we will never know the real reason. Either way, I feel really sorry for the owner getting this far. Despite not winning anything, the dog (hopefully) will still be a loving companion, and should not be viewed any worse for this Crufts result.

[@aboyandhisdogos8158]

Yes unfortunately they have been bred for mass which vastly effects the health of these beautiful dogs so hopefully this pushes breeders to breed for health we already have a wonderful dog we dont need extreme traits in any of our breeds

[@Nikki-tx6kh]

The Greenland Dog belly up getting rubs while they're competing is life.

[@tamelamcghee1458]

I have to admit that I am partial to small dogs, but love all dogs in general. The thing about the working dog group, is it makes me so emotional. "Dogs are man's best friend", and how much is that emphasized in the working dog history. These dogs were all so outrageously beautiful representations of their group. Hail to dogs

[@henriettahenson]

Stunning bull mastiff... Well deserved 🐶👍♥️

[@brittanyw8447]

So happy to see soundness in these big dogs. Such quality and beauty in that bullmastiff, well deserved win in my opinon! Fingers crossed that he wins best in show, need more working group winners taking home the trophy. That rotti was impeccable as well (my favorite breed). Thankyou crufts for the awesome coverage.

[@davidrobinson7112]

I truly love the shows CRUFTS put on. All these dogs are great and perform a honorable purpose.. Got to love them all.

[@traceygreen7550]

Absolutely thrilled that a Bullmastff has finally won the Working Group at Crufts. Have owned many over the years they really are the most fantastic family dogs. As with most larger breed dogs, the general public tend to have pre conceived opinions of them. They are loving, gentle, affectionate dogs and with my experiences, as happy to live alongside my Pekingnese and allow my son, at approximately 3 years to ride them around the garden! Such gentle dogs but undoubtedly would guard their family if needed.

[@shortfuseism]

That St. Bernard was smooooth. The gait was phenomenal.

[@shortfuseism]

Adrian At And T I’m not an expert nor show judge. I was just scrolling and seen this show. Yes their are better looking St Bernards out there. I was kind of making a funny because it was light in his feet for a big dog.

[@tzuamourshihtzu9871]

Tibeten mastiff or the Bernese mountain dogs were the top 2 for me, disappointing to see there was no cane corso through 🤔

[@ubbe1089]

Mastiff 2021 and thanks for a awesome show 2020 🙏

[@fafniricedragon5832]

I loved the rottweiler, such beautiful movements and flow!

[@cindyhall5995]

I liked the judge he showed genuine interest, even though he didn’t pick my favorite the Rottweiler.

[@spookismycat]

The Hovawart! Beautiful breed and fantastic nature.

[@elenimaus241]

Stunning Great Dane !

[@recycledMilk]

wonderful that you guys got rid of docking and cropping! these are all such stunning dogs!

[@grayolsen8769]

So many commonly doxed and ear clipped breeds, with both ears and tails intact! It was lovely to see, please keep showcasing dogs that haven't underdone 'plastic surgery'

[@mavel2038]

@Adrian At And T just like you are.

[@theresaalmeida6180]

Congratulations to the Group 1 Winner the Bullmastiff Drago, his owner/handler and Barbara Stevens Breeder all from Belgium!

[@MARMELADIKOGA]

nice to watch this

[@jokimbrough]

The Tibetan mastiff was my #1. 😍

[@lorindawalters5708]

What a beautiful Neapolitan Mastiff, a stunning example of the breed, we’ll done to the breeder and owners you can see the love that’s gone into this beautiful dog

[@sidcostello7532]

They are my favorite....I've had 2 and loved them more than anything....they're very unique personalitywise

[@Christian-vq8rd]

One of the best show Neos I have seen. I can't stand the overdone, super saggy types that can barely move.

[@LaDolceBellaxxx]

That Tibetan Mastiff is a beauty. Fabulous example of the breed ❤️

[@sidcostello7532]

I love that the European standards for the neapolitan mastiff are for tighter skin and fewer wrinkles than what American breeders look for. The Europe dogs look healthier and I would bet, have a longer lifespan than the American neo's. Such a magnificent breed!!

[@GreyFlash805]

sid costello I agree but needs weight loss a working dog needs to be trim and fit. Also, this dog needs more muscle than bone and a little less skin.

[@sidcostello7532]

@Adrian At And T I was speaking of just the neapolitan

[@mavel2038]

The working line Neos in America look completely different than show lines like this one.

[@Alanitoo]

The Bernese is lovely!

[@almahashem9456]

My favourite dog group!....I love all of them!

[@sassak]

It's pronounced 'newfin-LAND' - at least when it comes to the Canadian province. This is my favorite group to watch :) Thank you for sharing everything online.

AMAZING FOR A BULLY TO WIN LOVE THOSE GENTLE GIANTS!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@theresaalmeida6180]

Beautiful Boston Great Dane!

[@kittiekat8920]

so happy to see TAILS on ALL breeds. and no cropped ears😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@sushicat777]

The Boxer and Doberman looked absolutely beautiful. I work with animals and rarely see these breeds with both the ears/tails intact.

[@danielledewitt1]

Dobermann.

[@EM-cj7tu]

I'm a boxer fan... But man that bull mastiff looked amazing

[@angelmay9860]

so pleased the import breeds are getting recognition

[@lori5455]

Anyone know why the Akita is not included in working Group at Crufts? Seems to me the Nordic dogs have a separate classification? In Canada we now have separate Japanese Akita Inu and American Akita classifications which is as it should be. Both in Working Group.

[@denisemitchell9876]

Gday luv That Bull Mastiff majestic That Rottie flat out gorgeous

[@mikeoxmaul1788]

[@WhosAGoodDogue]

Can someone link me for the showing of the Dogue de Bordeaux? I can't find it anywhere. And again, as others have asked here: What happened with the final result? Why was the Dogue omitted? What health check? Was it not up to date with vaccines? Was it neutered, but had Neuticals fitted to try trick the judges? Someone must know the reason!!

[@Wheelsanstuff]

No corso?

[@Saerl]

Is it just me or does the Siberian Husky look more like a Spitz or a miniature White Shepherd? xD Maybe it's just the color but I would've never guessed it as a Husky

[@bluwolf9357]

That is not a siberian husky according to the worldwide breed standard - it may be in the UK but not in the rest of the world. For those wanting to see a video of a true siberian husky at Crufts, go back and check the 2001 Working Group video.

[@gabymann1615]

She is definitely not a standard UK husky. Her muzzle was definitely too pinched and the face not broad enough. Not sure how she got best in breed! Beautiful but not textbook.

[@bluwolf9357]

@@gabymann1615 There's no such thing as a UK standard. There's only one standard for the siberian husky breed which is the same worldwide - except for the UK apparently. That's the reason why this dogs do not compete outside their country.

Bruno Gomes I know, I was replying to the first comment which was saying they may be different in the uk.

[@edwardenashllig1143]

Beautiful tibetin mastiff!

[@edwardgibstein8449]

I bred Akitas for several years in the 1980's, so if I hurt anybody's feelings I apologize. However, the Akita in this group is not just completely out of coat, but very slight in bone, small and narrow in head type, the ear set is not nearly forward angled enough, and I can only imagine that the competition was even worse. I bred several champions and showed at Westminster more than once just for some credibility. There are some wonderful examples of other Working Group breeds in that ring but NOT then Akita.

[@edwardgibstein8449]

@Adrian At And T No I was not. My mistake was that I very quickly looked for the Akita and when the only one in this video that looked remotely like an Akita was the Greenland, I hastily commented. I am used to seeing the Akita entry in the Working Group. Not in this video

[@Palitato]

May wanna let the in-arena announcer know that Eskimo is considered a derogatory slur and shouldn't be used to refer to Inuit or First Nations people.

Cropping is either illegal or highly restricted in most of Europe. Kennel clubs don't accept cropped dogs.

[@angiej4865]

It's not acceptable to cut lumps out of dogs' ears and bandage them up to make them stick up in this country. About time it's outlawed everywhere. It's barbaric

[@antoinedescours2459]

[@Sandy33569]

Angie J Uh, no. You’re very ignorant if you feel it’s barbaric. Worry more about the actual abuse of animals. These dogs who are cropped are typically treated way better than most people.

[@Oddballkane]

I've seen a TV show about problem dogs and some of these dogs once they are to old to compete they are given to new homes. The owners don't always care about the dogs.

[@elainemackie1431]

Be good to know what was wrong with the dog de Bordeaux after the vet check.

[@WhosAGoodDogue]

Yup - I'm more than curious as well (I own one) It must have been serious enough to warrant omission. If it was a male, in the past I have seen a neutered show dog taking part (which is not allowed, the dog must be entire), but the owner had artificial testicles put in to the dog (called _Neuticles_ ), someone found out, the dog was reported, and it was banned for all other shows. But as for this Dogue de Bordeaux, I'm very interested to find out what the reasons were.
