/b/veterinary-news/posts/57800 The Kennel Club has announced that the Crufts Best of Breed (BOB) winners in two of the high profile breeds - the bulldog and the Pekingese - failed their veterinary checks, so the breeds were not represented in the utility and toy group judging. en-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/b/veterinary-news/posts/57800Fri, 09 Mar 2012 22:12:42 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:b5450c0c-680a-495b-9282-2f880727f2c0james herriot lied0<p>One of the nurses brought in her (toy breed) dog a few days ago, suffering from relatively mild otitis externa. Incidentally, it was due in the ring this week, and we advised her that in the light of recent events, the KC would be making a show of weeding out sick or disadvantaged dogs, and she might want to think about taking the dog. In the end, she didn&#39;t - and witnessed mass rejections pre-show, and the kind of judgment calls described above.</p> <p>Seems the KC is taking advice from a PR &#39;specialist&#39;. Whether it&#39;s a sea-change or just soft-soaping remains to be seen.</p> <img src="https://www.vetsurgeon.org/aggbug?PostID=57800&AppID=5&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
