terrier winner

What a star is that dog! very pretty and seems to be "in the zone" all the time lol

however i reallllllly liked the boarder

didnt think much of the staffie to be honest. I think they could have picked better.

I haven't watched it yet. I'm dying here! I want to watch it!

staffie was horrible lol

the ibizian hound was emaciated. I'm so shocked it got through, it was not lean and fit it was actually emaciated.

That's the way they like them now.

The scottie's a star! I haven't seen the winning Stafford yet, though.

well i hope they get complaints! I would complain if i knew who to. that is not a healthy dog.

Depends if the dog is physically healthy, I suppose. It looks too skinny to me, but if there are no health concerns, I don't think they'd do anything. Looks like it has some decent muscle condition, but the pin bones are a bit prominent, aren't they?

It's the done thing with the Egyptian breeds now. I know they're meant to be lean, but they do seem to be taking it too far.

I saw a number of dogs looking like that yesterday, and have to say it didn't look good. I like to keep mine on the lean side, but that is just ridiculous.

I don't really know those types of breeds very well, so I don't know how much of a toll it takes on the body for them to be that lean. I can't imagine it's the healthiest state a dog could be in though!

I like to see a nicely balanced dog. Quite a few of the Bull Terriers yesterday were quite overweight. I know Dempsey is hardly the slimmest dog around, but there were some real podgers there yesterday! Still lovely dogs, but apparently the judges actually like to see fat wobbling around on them and prefer them to fit ones!

After watching the terrier group, I actually quite liked the Stafford!

He was a big boy!

I thought its legs look really inward. maybe i was seeing a different dog?

I hadn't noticed!

I don't know. - I thought he looked good!

This is him...

To my untrained eye, he looks good.

It is a nice Stafford.
Not so very bully looking and thick in the bone as has been the norm last few years.
I still like them a bit more terrier-y. Bit longer in the leg and slightly leaner through the body. The ones I grew up with.

I think he has plenty of leg, but personally I prefer a slightly less bully head.

Maybe it was the angel he was walking. i just didnt like him at all lol im not even fond of him in that photo. Dunno what it is! lol
