Bernese Mountain Dogs are cancer bombs on four legs. These four at Crufts in 2018 were also jaw-droppingly obese, with the one on the end so rotund I am surprised it could even stand. As for the level of obedience work here... I will let it stand for itself.

Agreed. Walk? Waddle would be more accurate.
ReplyDelete"Representing the working group"... It would be hilareous if it wasn't so sad.
ReplyDeleteBtw about that obesity, had a discussion once with a chihuahua lover about that, her argument "it's the breeding standard" (about chihuahuas not supposed to have a tucked in belly). The rabbit hole is bloody deep...
"Babs, please note the extreme obesity and lame gait on that dog right there. No, that other one. No--one more over---why yes, let's just note it about all of them."
ReplyDelete"A couple of families in this team"? They're all cousins!
What a sham and embarrassment. The training is fine and it's obvious they are having fun, but not something I'd be putting forth as a representative of my breed, were I into that sort of thing.
