Can you go into more detail about what was up with the 2016 Crufts GSD 👀

~@release-the-hound 💙

i don't think much needs saying tbh

the added context is at this was the height of the Pedigree Dogs Exposed era, and both Crufts and the KC had been under pressure to judge and select more moderately. GSDs weren't the only breed getting flak, but the backlash after this one was so bad they actually cut some of the footage from the replay - in the official upload you can see it coming in and the hands-on judging, but not going around.

Below is 2016, and 2017 for comparison

#now the BOB final lap is on yt and i dont think she was As Bad there - but #and i say this as someone who doesnt know gsds #i dont think she was Great #and regardless of the quality of the dog #she was miserable in that ring and should have been spared that experience.#ppl kept going on about how she couldnt use her rear but frankly #you didnt get a full run cycle in any of the televised shots because she was panicky
