Crufts 2017 | Introducing a new breed - the Russian toy

Crufts this year saw a new breed of dog on show - the Russian Toy. We caught up with Amanda Orchard and Julie Collins from the Russian Toy Breed Club to find out what all the fuss is about.

Now watch the interbreeding and the breeding of exaggerated type start.

[@helmaschine1885]

Please don't inbreed these beautiful dogs like you've done everything else. Health and temperament over superficial looks and medals.

sadly, it will end up that way with all recognised dogs in show rings
