So much respect for the handler retiring the sankt bernard when it got spoked by the judge.

[@suecastillo4056]

She knew she was going to be excused from the ring if her dog tried to bite the judge… and that was the next thing that was going to happen if she didn’t get her dog under control… and the chance of being unable to show him anymore… aggression towards a judge is inexcusable and she knew that…

[@linajurgensen4698]

Sankt Bernards (especially the males) don’t shy away from biting in situations like these that make them uncomfortable. The owner was trying to avoid just that.

[@ReleaseTheQuackers]

US Citizen here, I *LOVE* seeing dogs with ears and tails intact! After 40 years working with animals and in animal rescue, I still don't understand the idiocy of US show breeders insisting on mutilating dogs to show. Bless those US show breeders that are following the humanity of the rest of the world's show breeders in leaving their dogs in a natural state.

[@plyoung11]

In Canada, it’s moving that way. People who have working versions of the breeds, seldom crop and dock

[@TheKingdomRockPioneeraka-xb2ft]

Trends vary in various countries. So we can not be overly intrusive about the personal choices of others if personal choice is what has been granted. In regard to breeders we know of who crop the ears and dock the tails, mainly the thing given us to encourage is good care and maintenance by the breeder who takes the responsibility of seeing the cropped and docked litter of puppies through the healing process.

[@Memow-pk1ng]

I'm sorry but that tail on dobie looks ridiculous!! Th ears I may deal with . I have red dobie, 12 yrs now, & in U.S used to that look.Dobies area large entry at shows, & a n au natural stand out like sore thumb. It's been acceptable for centuries, so one should be able to choose.

[@Memow-pk1ng]

Breeders of show dogs tat requiredocking are done few days after birth, as can't tell which will be show quality, ears can be done up to 3-4 mos( depending on breed) & u can choose puppy at 8-9 wks & decide if want crop

[@ArkadyKirsanov]

​@@Memow-pk1ngthe boxer looks nearly as goofy.

[@linajurgensen4698]

So HAPPY to see a Doberman with tails and ears!❤

[@lyndachabane1931]

Adore the Leonberger and the Tibetan Mastiff........quality dogs. The judge was being far too rough with all of them.

[@131minnie]

A couple of the dogs looked uncomfortable with the judge, lip licking, looking or turning away etc

[@bulltirelli]

Especially with the working/ guard dogs ... come on .. the judge should have behaved better.

[@brittanyw8447]

The Rottweiler was spectacular! Great mover. Such a friendly, happy boy. The bullmastiff and Tibetan mastiff was also lovely. Favourite group to watch. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@debbskyj]

The Great Dane was absolutely beautiful, I felt bad for the St Bernard because he clearly didn't like the judge.

[@janewaterfield648]

The dog was overwhelmed with the big ring and the noise. It is alot to ask of dogs. Some well shown dogs can have their off days.

[@tdk9518]

If you watch the dogs leaving the ring after the judge short-lists you can see St.Bernard was still being very skittish. The big ring maybe got to him. Nice looking dog though.

[@Memow-pk1ng]

​@@tdk9518called it Bernrd. It's Bernard, & Newfanland

@@Memow-pk1ng I don't understand what you mean? I called the dog a St Bernard and I didn't mention the Newfoundland.

[@SHENworks]

Wonderful to see Carl Hester! I know he's a massive dog lover. I loved all four dogs who placed, but the Tibetan Mastiff I thought was the most magnificent.

[@tdk9518]

Is impressive but I wonder if this is an acceptable colour for the breed.

[@kumaikhan]

@@tdk9518 Oui c'est un fauve clair charbonné ,zibeline :)

[@tdk9518]

@@kumaikhan This is the UK breed standard description: Rich black, with or without tan; slate grey, with or without tan; rich golden. The rich tan markings appear above eyes, on muzzle, on chest, the lower part of legs and underside of tail. Spectacle markings around eyes acceptable. White star on breast permissible. Minimal white markings on feet tolerated. Cream, white, chocolate/liver, particolour, brindle or flecked are undesirable

[@Jazzinthedark84]

Which dog was his?

[@stevemindham520]

W7ow! Well done again and congrats to Miss C Burnett. Ruben's turned 10 months old last week and just loving him so much, what a boy he,s becoming. Superb looks, temperament. Can't thank this lady enough for her love of Bouviers and her contribution to this incredible breed. Much lovie Jane, Steve and Roobs xx

[@moonstar6564]

Loved the Leonberger the Aussie and the Malamute

[@Memow-pk1ng]

What Aussie??

[@larciabella]

The judge is spooked now.

[@lewkonia78]

Dogs are clearly afraid of that judge.

[@MisterGlasgow]

None of them are a patch on big Uzi …. The Mastino Italiano :)

[@LNLBGLD]

Wow to the neo mastiff

[@aprilseigfried1156]

I knew it would be a Leonberger dog by the judge's choice. Congrats!

[@violettbellerose1173]

A blond hovawart is basically a golden retriever with extra steps. Probably healthier tho

[@Craftmaxx]

🎉

[@LuizAntonio-in1ml]

Good judge!!! well done...

[@chiffchaff3355]

Terrible handling from the judge, very rough handling.

[@larciabella]

I feel it's better for the handler to show the judge the dogs bite not for the judge to just walk right up to the dog and put their hands on the dogs muzzle and look at its bite.They do that in the states ,ask the handler to show the bite.

[@chiffchaff3355]

Some breeds in UK it's the handler that shows the bite to the judge. Again that judge was really rough & just grabbing the muzzle to lift the dogs lips up roughly, I'm especially surprised he got away with such a way looking at the bite of that Tibetan Mastiff....

[@Jazzinthedark84]

I think that the judge is very tall and quite muscular in appearance is putting the dogs off, a big person towering over them and not being very gentle or considerate isn't a good combination

[@karolinedunkley-tebbs4479]

Never ever a boxer

[@natascia7185]

Invece il giudice è stato bravo,come tutti e tutte quelle che hanno giudicato fino ad ora. Un San Bernardo da Expo per giunta ( è il suo mestiere) non abituato a farsi guardare i denti o toccare le zone anatomiche da un giudice esperto...non dal primo incontrato per strada. Ha fatto bene ad eliminarlo dalla competizione. Spero sia solo un caso per il cane e l'allevatore. Si deve selezionare la bellezza ma anche il carattere e il temperamento. Il cane deve essere bello ed equilibrato per potersi riprodurre e trasmettere le sue doti ai cuccioli. Spero sia solo un problema di educazione/addestramento...ma anche questo è grave è a una finale di gruppo di una esposizione mondiale...è una cosa seria. Nel Pastoral Group per esempio i Pastori Belgi tutti impauriti??? Mah.

[@lukeosborne1983]

Judge handles them far too roughly. Not good at all.

[@webbess1]

Why was that St Bernard so nervous?

[@Jazzinthedark84]

Judge was really rough and brisk. He's grabbing rather than going over the dogs gently

[@Elgrico]

​@@Jazzinthedark84yes, it's actually surprising that only the poor St. Bernard reacted like that

[@c.h.9023]

Sad, poor mastiff 😮

[@happydays7143]

Wagging tail on the Neopolitan ????? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@thoraneh7365]

Judge is awful, multiple dogs clearly in fear of him.

[@suecastillo4056]

Aside from docking and cropping, they’ve sure lost the integrity of the wonderful Bouvier by trying to groom it into a Kerry Blue Terrier… it’s SO over groomed… truly just not a Bouvier … too bad. I’m horrified frankly. It looks rediculous…😑🫣‼️

[@danielledewitt1]

They haven’t lost anything. Tail docking and ear cropping are not allowed.

[@suecastillo4056]

@@danielledewitt1 agreed, but I’m talking about the GROOMING… they’ve lost and are losing the integrity of the look… it’s just rediculous…

[@suecastillo4056]

@@danielledewitt1 I disagree… just my humble opinion. I understand banning docking and cropping, but there’s something about a sculpted coat on a Bouv that just looks not like a Bouv… and it started years ago…

@@suecastillo4056 Crufts goes with the uk kennel club standards not you’re standards.

[@ReleaseTheQuackers]

The word "eskimo" is an insult noun. Es·​ki·​mo ˈe-skə-ˌmō 1. plural Eskimo or Eskimos, often offensive; see usage paragraph below : a member of a group of indigenous peoples of southwestern and northern Alaska, Greenland, eastern Siberia, and especially in former use arctic Canada.

[@tdk9518]

And yet the breed is recognised as Canadian Eskimo dog internationally. As are American Eskimo dogs. Pretty sure the intention was never to be offensive and adults understand that.

[@larciabella]

it's a generic term as oriental for Asians.We can do better.

[@suecastillo4056]

@@tdk9518 agreed… their are several breeds with names like that… no offense is intended…
