Well done to the KC and the vet involved for making this stand. Small steps.

I don't think it is about manky skin, it's about too many or inappropriate skin folds.

where is it going to end
With healthier, better looking dogs hopefully

I feel so happy about the whole thing.
Maybe now they will also ban collars and leashes holding the poor dogs neck and heads at an abnormally high angle!

Must have been a commentary error then, I was listening rather than watching and didn't get the rest beyond that point

It is not the collar and lead that holds the head up, it is the person stringing the dog up by them................

Absolutely brilliant to hear this! I can't believe it!

Yep, definitely progress, hope it continues!

As for dogs being strung up when showing, I absolutely hate it, I think it's awful and much prefer to see a loose lead round a dog.

Me too, but at least the habit of lifting small dogs off the judging table by the lead and tail seems to have disappeared.
