Request the Kennel Club to review GSD breeding

The Issue

Many people are outraged at the shape of the Best of Breed Winner in German Shepherd Dogs at Crufts 2016.  It is highly unlikely that it fulfils the  criteria set down by the Kennel Club's 'Fit for Function'.

We call on the Kennel Club to take ownership of ensuring GSD's bred have the conformation suitable to be able to do the work required of the breed - working livestock, police and military dog, guide and assistance dog, search and rescue dog, and detector dog. And to encourage Breeders to breed dogs that are fit and able to work
