Havard Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Great looking dog mate and the best of luck! Is this a good time to crack the "Entered a dog at Crufts joke" or not? H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Undecided about Crufts. It's nice that people with such a passion keep producing nice dogs, but on the other side of the coin, dogs like Bulldogs and Pugs suffer horendous breathing problems because the show world has dictated how each dog should look- German Sheppards have back & hip problems, Staffies have birthing problems because the heads are too big for the mothers hips, and why does a show dog need it's tail docked? It gives the impression that the heath and wellfare of the dog comes a very distant second to winning a cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supragal Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Ooo Dobermans! DO you want another one? We were going to go to crufts but it's such a hassle finding someone to take our dogs while we are out it's not worth it!!! Plus I just couldn't seem to find the tickets we wanted, I was probably being dim. I'd be interested in talking to you about dobes though, I'm convinced ours has had it's growth stunted. He's a year old now and doesn't look as big as yours at 5 months!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Oh wow, actually they must be the same age... quick, let's compare so I can put my mind at rest!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Jane and I are on the Discover Dogs stand with one of our Anatolian Karabash dogs, (http://www.petplace.com/dogs/choosing-an-anatolian-shepherd/page1.aspx ) Come over and say hello, good luck with the showing, must be a very competive class, we hope to perhaps enter a Russian Black Terrier next year, if things go well.

As for the docking of tails well the dobermans for instanse are a working dog and have there tails docked as to save them getting damaged and possibly infected. Now its illegal to have a dobes tails docked unless you can prove it to be a working dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 They look weird with tails. They are all scraggly, I suppose because theres never been a reason to breed that part of them!! Oh well, thats something for breeders to work on! I think we got one of the last docked ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen Dobes, Rotties and Boxers with tails now, and they look much better. A dog at Crufts isn't a working dog, so that negates the need for docking.

Although you will probably not come across I have know of a few. Plus they have the "working breed". Its down to the owner if they work them or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
