I wonder if our Westminster BIS winner would have passed their checks?

As in Animal Rights! No our BIS winner would not have passed. His pushed in face is a detriment to his health. How dare we dog breeders do this to these poor creatures. I noticed the Basset Hound was also checked. What? Too many wrinkles or short legs a detriment? Chinese Crested? Bald is bad? I hope a powderpuff won then. How utterly ridiculous. You can thank the Animal Rights folks for these changes. I sure don't want them telling me how to breed dogs in this country. They sure are trying though.

I saw this too and then did some checking for specific info on what's being looked for in the high profile breeds. FYI:
