Can anyone tell me why the Yorkshire terrier and the black and tan terrier are in the toy group instead of the terrier group. Surely a terrier is a terrier no matter what size it is.

There are several other terriers that are shown in the toy group too. I think it's just because of their size but I do see your point.Can anyone tell me why the Yorkshire terrier and the black and tan terrier are in the toy group instead of the terrier group.

I'm watching on catch-up? Is it just me or was the labrador really overweigh?
So sure, breed deerhounds who could gallop across rough moors and have the ability to bring down deer, spaniels who could have a wonderful time flushing out pheasants, greyhounds with top speeds and limited stamina - it's wonderful to see a dog switch into 'this is what I was born for' mode - but never at the cost of health and happiness.
I agree too but would also add that some dogs who are born to a task - have been bred over thousands of years for it - are not always suitable pets. I'm thinking of the worrying trend for people buying primitive breeds like ovcharka and similar, who need wide open space and isolation for the sake of their mental health.
Fabulous! Please, please tell us how you replied?Some half wit commented and said nice dog , cross springer spaniel in there, but his chest is too wide and his legs turn out..

Dudley is a small fluffy crossbreed but he gets lots of exercise.
Is anyone else watching Crufts?
It's my guilty pleasure - I can think of all sorts of reasons to boycott it (the breeding to produce dogs that can't function normally, some of the handling methods, subjecting dogs to hours of bathing & grooming, focus on looks rather than temperament), but for the next few days I will try to suspend that and focus on the good, and the smashing, fit, happy dogs, and the expert advice that promotes positive training. (Things might get thrown at the telly when the Pekes and other brachy breeds appear.)
I can't wait for hounds and terriers night - if you do watch, which is your favourite group?
