/// Several have claimed that their foreign rivals have an unfair advantage and that their owners have different rules on grooming and behave differently at events. ///

/// One member of Chippenham Canine Society who did not want to be identified, claimed that judges were encouraged to select foreign entrants as winners ///

//I am not phobic to all dogs especially the Bull Dog which is one of my favourites.// unfortunately also one of the most screwed up dogs, can hardly breathe, cant give birth naturally etc. A bit like the German Shepherd, another dog where the owners should be prosecuted for breeding such dogs!!

The dog showing world and the Kennel Club have a lot to answer for!! Rant over!!

I agree.

Ratter...I agree 100%.

Willy and I see a beautiful Bulldog most weekends, called Pauline (!)

Willy is quite smitten ! She is only 2 years old but her owners have spent £1000's on operations to her face, so that she can breath properly. They also paid £1500 for her, as a 10 week old pup ! And she has a pedigree as long as your arm.

Most breeders seem to be greedy shysters.

I love big, strong , hairy Germans ( Shepherds). I have had two mutts over the years - both half GSD and handsome. I like Rotties too and Bull Mastiffs.

When I had young Francis at the vet last year there was a Bulldog in having a op to deliver her pups (not going to try and spell it). The puppies were going to cost £1500+ each.

My moggies were free, feral kitties.
