Is that a gundog ?

Post by trekmoor »

Just saw an American Cocker win the gundog group at Crufts. Totally NOT fit for purpose ......it should have been in the Toy Group. The judge needs her heid examined ! I turned away from the t.v. in disgust .......do these show judges know what gundogs actually do ?

I thought it resembled a rug quite well. What a coat!

Exactly! :clap: How can a dog that is shown on a table possibly be classed as a gundog?

I believe the judge breeds them so not entirely unbiased

I stopped watching years ago (actually my family banned me), shortly after I started shouting at the tv when a commentator kept coming out with b*******s like " This dog could gallop across the moors all day etc" when in reality it looked a bit tired running around the ring. :twisted:
