Originates From Where?

An Australian Shepherd named Viking won best in show at the 2024 Crufts dog show in Birmingham, England. The dog did not come far — he lives just a few miles away. Though called an “Australian Shepherd,” the breed was created in the US.

Zen, a Jack Russell Terrier from Japan, won the second place at Crufts, and was the top terrier.  According to the Kennel Club, the Jack Russell Terrier was not created in England as a working dog, but in Australia as a show dog.

    The hairdressing on that terrier tells me it's definitely not a working dog. Given the dog grooming styles out of Japan and Korea, makes perfect sense. Or is this just the new thing among show terriers, to floof them up just like the poodles, bichons, Pomeranians and other profuse-coated breeds?
