| The Kennel Club has issued a PRESS statement
re: GSD B.O.B. Crufts 2010 - TV interview
ARTICLES WILL NOW BE WRITTEN IN THE CANINE PRESS
I ASK ALL GENUINE GSD SUPPORTERS TO CONTACT THE CANINE PRESS
EXPRESSING THEIR DISGUST ABOUT THE TV INTERVIEW
AND
DEMAND A KENNEL CLUB PUBLIC APOLOGY FOR THEIR PART IN IT
TO CAROL KEEN (THE OWNER)
THE GSD JUDGE - CRUFTS 2010 & ALL JUDGES WHO HAVE JUDGED THIS MALE
AND OUR WHOLE GSD BREED
HERE IS THE STATEMENT - posted 23/03/2010
'As part of More4’s commitment to having an open debate about the health and welfare of dogs during the 2010 coverage of Crufts, it was inevitable that there would be some discussion about the issues that exist in certain breeds. Clare Balding chose to highlight a health issue which was also subsequently noted by the BVA. The Kennel Club has since received a number of emails and phone calls from viewers concerned at the appearance of the dog.
The Kennel Club would not and could not interfere with More4 reporting on these issues in the way that it sees fit.
Although the Kennel Club cannot comment on this case in particular it should be noted that within all of the high profile breeds, both judges and monitors were required to submit a report about the dogs that they saw before them at DFS Crufts. These reports will, as always, go to the Kennel Club’s Dog Health Group and if there is a discrepancy between them the Kennel Club will ask the relevant judge to provide an explanation, which will be assessed accordingly.
The Kennel Club is taking firm action to address the problems which it perceives in the GSD breed generally and has asked all GSD clubs to sign an undertaking to confirm that they recognise that there is a problem with the conformation of the breed at present and only those which sign will be allocated CCs from 2011 onwards.'

| Trouble with the ring at crufts was the dogs had a very small area to be shown gaiting so it was difficult for the handlers to get the right movement from their dogs One of the handlers nearly fell over because the lack of room  |

| she should never have been presenting again after her glanger at the grand national. when she told the winning jockey he could now get his teeth fixed with his winnings. Did u her kc sec say breeders should do recommended health checks  check her kennel breeding she does not do the health checks available for her own breed |
