Crufts Vets Fail English Mastiff, Neo and Basset

The English Mastiff, the Neopolitan Mastiff and the Basset join the English Bulldog, the Pekingese and the Clumber Spaniel in failing the simplest kind of vet check being done at Crufts.

So, far, six of the top dogs from fifteen high profile breeds subject to veterinary inspection have failed their vet checks.   

An exhibited dog of a seventh breed, the Dogue De Bordeaux, collapsed and died on the way out of the ring.  The Dogue De Bordeaux has an average life span of less than 5.5 years and the median age at diagnosis for all disease occurrences at just 9 months.
