Absolutely agree. My first 3 dogs were Huskies and after having American Akitas for more than 30 years, adopted a 9 year old Husky August 2022. But this one shouldn't have won the group. Ears are a bit big, tail is not correct (should be carried over the back with the tip touching the topline) and he's overal just a bit too lightly build. Even for a Husky. The Malamute should have won with the Tibet Mastiff on second place.
I've had a giant schnauzer and a Rottweiler. Love the working group, amazing beautiful dogs with wonderful temperaments. Also, I haven't watched a dog show in several years and cannot express my happiness in no longer seeing the cropped ears and docked tails! Yay for keeping dogs the way they were made!
Great group ..one or two were at a disadvantage with owners who couldn’t move their dogs at desired pace as the owner unfit pulling dog back so unable to stride out good or bad handlers can be the difference between winning or not ....!
Akitas are the best dogs ever. Definitely not a beginners dog, but if you are a strong leader, the bond with an akita can be the most rewarding thing in the world.
@@101nutmeg I show in the US , these look weird & odd to me , especially my fave breed, dobie, looks dopey , them floppy ears !! U ppl. against cropping, docking, should put more effort , ban breeding of such extremes faces on Pekes, bulldogs, Frenchies, Pugs.. Those surgical procedures, ears tails, don't affect health of a dog in any way.
This judge only focused on the more common breeds. Not one rarer breed made his short list. Not criticizing just found it interesting. The Siberian Husky is lovely but that Tibetan Mastiff was absolutely stunning and showed very well.
Huskies are my favorite breed and Alaskan Malamutes are my second favorite. I was surprised that they took first and second place. I don’t watch this show but somehow I didn’t think they’d win. I’m thrilled 😄.
The Malamute is gorgeous and with excellent movement. Plus, you don't see them often in this color. They're usually a shade of grey. He would have been my group winner.
That Rottweiler seemed a bit scrawny I think… Dobermann my favourite breed ever they are just amazing 🖤🤎 Great Swiss mountain was impressive! Great Dane and Saint Bernard weren’t so big as usually I see in Italy. By the way I’ve got a question. Could I understand why there are not Dogo Argentino, Caucasian Shepherd dog, Dogue de Bordeaux and Central Asia Shepherd dog? Are they not allowed to join this show? These are 4 gorgeous breeds and absolutely the bests ever for the work guarding!
Dogue de Bordeaux are definitely in the show, but for some reason the BOB winner did not enter the group. It may have failed the vet check. Cane Corso, Caucasian Shepherd, Central Asian Shepherd are not recognised in the show ring in the UK and Dogo Argentino are not allowed to be owned or bred in the UK.
@@lydiawilliams7220 thank you very much for your answer! It’s strange as UK doesn’t recognise these popular and beautiful breeds in that show, it is a shame I’d say! Dogo argentino is incredibly stunning as dog but I have to admit that males are not easy at all to handle and in Italy we’ve reported many bad accidents, fatal too. This breed is definitely not for everyone and I think you should have a definite reason to work with this dog, you cannot keep dogo just for its beauty and guard. They are effective and balanced when working for wild boar hunting for example and owners must be truly good and careful at managing the white dogos.
@@thoraneh7365 I’ve studied and owned Saints since the 60s and still have a shelf full of books on them. Nothing wrong with the coat ; they come in two coat variations, smooth and rough. The eyes ALWAYS show the haw. English Saints have a different standard from the rest of the world- the facial folds are more exaggerated, not my preference. The bitch was sound and moved well.
People in this country have no idea how to handle dogs. you can't handle the dog with your heavy weight body. And even more pathetic, the judges have to touch the dog to know the anatomy and composition.
the Neapolitan Mastiff was stunning! wish he won instead of the Siberian Husky hats off to the breeders for breeding out the excess wrinkles; now they just need to fix the head
@@madisoncarbine6283 I can’t tell. That’s what I get for having only one eye with a bit of sight and that’s 2 meters blurred tunnel vision. They are working to improve breeds.
What i have always found 'Ironic' about dog shows, (but most of all) the 'kennel club' and the 'so called judges' who register award this dogs is that there are modern new breeds of dogs that are probably more popular than some other 'historical breeds'. And yet do not conform to be registered by the 'kennel club' has a 'breed of dog'!. And yet, these same dog 'loving old fashioned run' institutes do not have a problem with looking 'animal cruelty' in the eye and awarding it....ie, chopping-off dogs ears and / or breaking them!. To simply create an 'false aesthetic' which they seem to be opposed to when it comes to 'new /hybrid' breeds. The 'irony and Hypocrisy of it!.
I love Huskies so much. I had one for 6 years. Best dog ever. I don't understand why the Doberman, rott and boxer dont have cropped ears and tail. They look much better with them.
Its illegal in UK. I showed dogs here in US, & those breeds here shown natural, rottw, boxer, scnauz. , dane, look .. odd..! Especially th. dobie, looks like a blk tan Coonhound, & dopey !! I always wondered, why grotty ears not cropped? But then would look like a pitbull ??!!
@@Riverwisps That’s good. My Cockapoo’s tail was docked when she was only a few weeks old and I was mad that they did that to her. That’s torture for any dog but especially for a puppy.
Slip leads are the best leashes to train your dog to heel and keep your dog/others safe. Notice how all the dogs are calm next to each other and stay on the left hand side . You think that just happens with no training? Harnesses are meant for pulling and serve no purpose(regular exercise) unless you have a dog literally pulling a sled/wagon.
i dont think the staff should be allowed to wear these ukrain colored ribbons....it is a devisive political issue. i dont think crufts should be taking a political stance on current world events.
The "system" of the West (however you wanna define that) supports Ukraine. Therefore every organization, public figure, politician, celebrity, sports event, corporation, media network etc. will do that as well. Same with covid, same with being anti-Trump, and so on. They're all just parts of one system ultimately. Just the way it is unfortunately.
The invasion of Ukraine is not a decisive issue. Nobody out inside of Russia and their closest allies agrees with it. Nobody thinks killing civilians (including children) or attacking hospitals is ok. Also, it’s not strictly political. It’s supporting the people of Ukraine who are victims of the attack.
Crufts and the kennel club are a UK organization. People may be radically politically divided in the UK on lots of issues, but they're not divided on the invasion of Ukraine.

6:12 “they’re working dogs, they have to be fit for function” as the one dog in the background is lying on his back 😭

That is what they do when they are not working.
As a Husky owner I have to say those jumps and almost ripping off the owner’s coat to get to that treat are all top Husky behaviour!

They are so beautiful with tails and natural ears. Every breed looks nicer, and not so scary.
Im used to seeing cropped docked, on boxers, dobies, scnauz. & LIKE THEM THAT WAY ! as standard calls for showing here in US.
The dobie especially, looks dopey, w/ floppy ears !!
Thank you for a wonderful 'talk through' Frank. I am sharing this with my Nepali dog friends. They will learn a lot from this 🙂

Not a fan of huskies, but this is well deserved, she's absolutely stunning.

Don't you mean fit or unfit then?
Totally agree, poor lead/chain placement and moving at the wrong speed for the dog. Must admit i was rooting for the mastiffs
Many of the handlers look awkward entering the ring and the dogs are all over the place. I assume these are owner/handlers.
@@imjusthereforthecomments4920 at Crufts it is mostly owners.
@@imjusthereforthecomments4920 Yes people who have show dogs because they enjoy showing them.
Newfoundland, St Bernard and Leonberger.

May I know why there is no German Shepherd entry under the working group? Thanks!
The Great Dane was stunning
Would've looked smarter with up ears..

What happened whit the Great Pyrenees😕, the best the Alaskan Malamute and Tibetan Mastiff

Yep, an absolute stunner. He was my pick.
The great danes are just 😍
Why was the douge de bordeux skipped?
Think they have to have a health check by a vet pre group judging so it possibly failed that
Likely failed the vet check.
Mastiff and bernease mountin dog 💕
My absolute favourite, the boxer.
The Newfoundland is from eastern Canada, as in Newfoundland, the commentator said north western Canada.
LOL, I missed that. Funny.
Doberman was a nice stocky dog with good ears and tail.
Unfortunately the mastiff looked a bit messy with the loose baggy skin and too much weight.
That Rottweiler seemed a bit scrawny I think…

Thank you M Smith x x
Knew malamute and boxer would make top 3 but husky was out of syllabus.
So nice to see dogs with natural ears and tails
OMG! YES!
And in other breeds no sloping back end, no smashed noses, horrible square head.
