This is awful, I thought Mimi's legs were bad enough but they look terrible. Did that dog that nearly fell over win?

I am still of the view that it is the breeders/breed clubs and the kennel club all at fault, for the deteriation of some breeds.

I love going to dog shows, because of my interest in dogs, all dogs, and I will be going to Crufts again this year.

I hate the money grabbing attitude of the KC, I have some huge issues with them. But I don't particulary want to go into on this thread as it will be going off topic on a thread which should stay on topic.

bloody hell, it looked like the dogs were drunk the way the back legs were wobbling, i had concerns over freds legs when he was younger,but they seem to be okay now

my dogs have sloping backs when set up in the show stand when in normal stance they are quite straight and none of mine wobble like that on grass or on concrete what the real problem is is if those dogs were taught to do some basic heel work instead of this constant pulling when doing the forward and away walk they wouldnt over exaggerate their movement but with their pulling and on the slippery concrete they mess themselves up the first two dogs are known for being seriously cowhocked anyway,

i thought that tbh, the dogs were pulling all over the place, surely thats not a good thing in a show dog?
