Labrador Retriever Forum
I don't know this dog. I don't know his breeder. All I know is: He's an American bred Labrador,also a GBSHCH, and today he made Labrador history - he went BOB at Crufts!! No American bred Labrador has achieved what he did today.
I must say I find it rather odd - to say the least - that not ONE person (last time I looked) has commented the news. Even if you don't like this Labrador and/or his breeder - a nice "congratulations" would have been in place. Not everything is about Potomac...
Now, off my Swedish soapbox
Hi Anki,
Indeed this is a very special and historical win for a lovely and deserving dog. I am not sure how long ago you posted, but I am just now logging on the board now and this is the first post I've seen. I don't think a lot of breeders use this forum like they used to. So be patient to see the amount of congrats that may or may not come in.
I usually don't post my congrats on here though. I prefer to send congrats personally where I can use my real name
Thank you for posting the winners and best of luck to Salty in the group.
BIG CONGRATULATIONS FOR THIS SUPER WIN, RELLY AMAZING, ALSO CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL BREEDERS AND SHOW PEOPLE OF LABS IN CRUFT
There are many congrats being said on Facebook, just seeing this here now. I think more people are using FB now to get information. But big congrats to Salty Dog and his breeder Linda Hess, what an amazing accomplishment! BOB at Crufts and Westminter both, that is one for the history books!
Very big congratulations to CH Salty Dog of Tampa Bay JH. America is very proud of you
Congrats to Salty and Linda our Florida champs! I have seen him many times in shows and he makes us proud. So many of his offspring in the ring now. Buzz you must be proud of your son. 
A big congratulations to all winners, including Salty! Remember, the time difference.....a bunch of us just got off work!

As many others have posted, work and kennel commitments might have kept us from either hearing the news and being able to comment.
Why would you make the assumption this dog or his breeder is disliked? Also, being told off by anyone on a soapbox is not met with the best regards. Why would you want to do this? It draws attention and makes you sound condescending.
And then to diss Potomac and those who like it is uncalled for as well.
Throw out your soapbox and join the ranks of the normal folks. I can assure you, we do not need to be scolded.

Anki is not entirely wrong no matter what a few say. JMHO. Those of us that are Americans on this board she be pleased as punch. I watch some knocking of our dogs by certain breeders from a certain country on Face Book and I bite my tongue. An American dog just beat out every dog at Crufts, be proud of the dog and owner bred and born in the United States of America.
I am. Congratulations Salty and owners.
