OH is a great radio listener in the car and he tells me that there was a discussion and announcement saying that the RSPCA have withdrawn their support at Crufts next year. Their point is that the Kennel Club are not doing enough to address breeds that have problems due to breeding too intensively to the standard.
RSPCA say that things have to be driven by the Kennel club re health problems e.g. Shar pai (cannot spell it) skin, eye and breathing problems.
It just so happens that the next day a dog was PTS at my vets for exactly these problems, it was 3 years old and basically had a life of misery with constant infections.
I would think that this could have a really bad effect on crufts and views on dog showing with the general lpublic. Any comments or more info would be interesting.
