A Crufts experts have responded to calls for flat-faced dog breeds to be banned from the competition 🐶
for supposedly ‘celebrating’ extreme features that can be detrimental to dogs’ welfare, given that their bred-in physical traits can put them at risk of various health problems, and mean they live shorter lives.Chatting to presenter Clare Balding about the debate, Charlotte McNamara of The Kennel Club said their expectations about the kinds of dogs that should appear have been made ‘very, very clear’ to judges.
Charlotte McNamara of The Kennel Club explained that there are ‘criteria’ for dogs to meet to appear at Crufts ‘In addition, we’ve done a number of reviews of breed standards, including our collaborators, as part of the working groups that we’re involved in.’‘Outside of that, we really need to understand how we tackle things like Instagram and the influences way beyond Crufts, way beyond The Kennel Club, and how we really reach people and make sure they’re aware of the same messages.
‘So, one of the main issues that vets see on the ground on almost a daily basis with these sorts of breeds is a problem with breathing,’ Justine began.Crufts is organised and hosted by The Kennel Club
