Myranda Wielhouwer, who also lives near Breda, and brings clumber spaniels to Crufts, said she would not be returning."My dogs are getting older and they are not going to qualify again but if they are going to be qualified and I have to do blood tests and so on it's too hard...
Mr Marsh, who has been coming to Crufts for the past five years with Chewbacca, who is also a therapy dog for school children, said he feared for the gene pool breeders in the UK rely on."There are two ways to do that - artificial insemination is one way but not the favoured way, as we prefer the natural way and consequently we need to go abroad because you always travel to the stud to improve things.
"Down the lines you'll have the same genes we have now, if we don't import new, which will impact health and temperament."The UK is due to leave the European Union on 29 March regardless of whether there is a deal with the EU or not. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs advised people to speak to their vets and read further guidance on its website.
I heard from the remoaners camp that Crufts is funded by the Russians anyway
Seriously? What so we should stay in the EU for the sake of Dog breeders?
more to worry about than crufts at this point in time
And the award for best reporting tripe goes to THE BBC. The BBC also gets another award of a big wooden spoon for 'Stirring propaganda' .
My dog will be fine
Oh dear will little Foofoo not get to bonk dogs from the EU. However shall we cope without rabies?
Breaking News: BBC go that extra mile to make anti Brexit capital out of a dog show. While millions in the North of England watch their industry vanish to Europe- following EU subsidised moves, and pay reduced because of itinerant foreign workers. How many millions did BBC get?
All Cats and Dogs may have to be culled and exterminated for the good of the country, except Farm Dogs, Guide Dogs and assistance dogs. We won't have enough food for the population after Brexit so some 'experts' claim, so all unnecessary animals will have to be slaughtered.
Don't give a shit about cruffs most of us have other things to worry about
Whoa call off the whole Brexit thing, dog breeders have fears. 🙄
I'm more worried about exhibitors from the UK going in the other direction to the WorldDogShow2019 in China. Boycott and do NOT attend this event. BoycottWorldDogShow2019.
Ffs 😂
numbers are down by 11? seriously what the fuck is this fearmongering non story
FFS, is this journalism?
Can the BBC go any lower. That is piss poor reporting
I’m embarrassed for you . This has to be an all time low for project fear and journalism
So people who are so obsessed with the 'purity' of a breed that they inbreed their animals and then make them parade and do tricks are fond of the fascist EU? Unsurprising.
Cobblers, bloody dog show, get a life.
So 12 less dogs is causing fear what a complete overreaction, and this is news this is getting ridiculous now.
Typical BBC, rubbish as usual
Once again a negative brexit view from the BBC
Crufts disgusts me and is the main reason I voted to leave.
everyone is so worried but they Voted for this madness so get off your Ass and do something about it
Who cares
No. Not crufts or breeders. It's the biased BBC using any subject or platform to voice their anti Brexit scaremongering. They have become a disgrace to unbiased and impartial reporting. Not one positive report ever about Brexit. Absolutely disgraceful behaviour.
Just another biased story for Ofcom to investigate🙄
😂 is scraping the bottom of the remain-barrel
Nice...... Less abuse of dogs now
Really, I need to know, how much is the BBC paid by the EU?
That’s right, that old British institution, ‘Crufts’ is threatened by Brexit. Who the 4uck writes this 5h1t?
Oh behave this us on the same level as sky. Pathetic.
Heard there is going to be a shortage of horse chestnuts🌰 for this year's conker championship if the EU won't send any over
Lol
When I think you are at rock bottom BBC you find someone or who will be effected by Brexit. Will you fxxk off and find something else to report on because right now you are really boring me to death.
They think Theresa May has made a dogs dinner of Brexit. If she thinks the EU will come to her aid she's barking up the wrong tree.
Are the the same breeders that have bred dogs so they look totally different from how they were originally and others that can hardly breath.
More bloody propaganda,their is nothing to fear ,pre eu voter
dont care
So according to your website the international attendees went from 3623 to 3611 , a difference of 12. A dozen. That’s a fall of just 0.3%, or to round down, 0%. Not relevant enough to make the article and not enough to make a noticeable difference. Get better at this bbc.
are you taking the piss....! down by twelve.!!! shock horror probe..brexit.!
Not the society that has been inbreeding health problems into dogs for decades!
Brexit it’s now very worrying, Crufts dog breeders fear an EU exit not only that but my rubbish collectors are really worried about the amount of rubbish being produced by the BBC after Brexit they fear whey won’t have space for recycling
Does that mean dogs will leave the UK if we exit?
Have you ever known a time in this country that someone is fearful about something!
Fantastic BBC journalism
BBC rubbish
This is the most unbelievable piece of biased propoganda from the BBC... a story out of nothing based on what someone 'believes' might explain the nothing drop. Crazy how you guys get away with this stuff. Honestly.
The BBC never stop. Drip. Drip. Drip. Everything will stop once we leave the EU. A nation of dependent sheep who cannot survive on their own. Running down Britain. Break up the BBC.
How horrible not to be able to show off a masterpiece of man, cleverly selected and bred to be the very best in the canine world of oohs and ahhs....
If I read it right 12 fewer foreign exhibitors that could be explained by illness or death cruts may be panicking unnecessarily.
It’s predicted that 14.5 billion dogs will starve to death in the 6 months after Brexit. FFS. Get a grip Biased Broadcasting Corporation.
💩 happens 🙄
FFS NEXT THE CATS PROTECTION LEAGUE WILL BE WHINGING
My god... what will we do? First planes will fall out of the sky and now the most important and life threatening event of the year crufts has less attendees WE ARE ALL DOOMED!!
The only life these sad nutters have revolves around a dog therefore I wouldn't believe a word they say about anything else
Oh no , no more french poodles in the country how will we survive!
I am pretty sure we haven't been in the EU since 1891 so how have Crufts managed for 128 years 🤔
With this kind of drivel day after day, the time when I am no longer prepared to pay the TV tax is coming very soon!
What do the slug balancers think?
Who cares, I certainly don't, we have much more to worry about where the distasterous Brexit is concerned than a crazy dog show, and its possible affect on it!
FFS
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY THE FUCK IS THIS CLASSED AS NEWS?!?!?!?!
They are barking up the wrong tree ...
Overseas entrants down to 3611 from 3623 last year. That 14 less. That's it, cancel Crufts. Brexit has completely obliterated the show No one voted for this.
Cutting edge stuff indeed.
🙄... to be followed by 'How many molecules will there be in the average slice of cheese after Brexit'.
So reading it, it’s the EU that will make it hard to return. Oh well they can’t be that dedicated. But come on BBC we know your biased but now you’re assuming we haven’t realised years ago. Crap attempt please try harder.
A fall in overseas dogs entered into crufts of 0.33% well done you’ve truly made the worst Brexit story of the year. Call yourselves a news outlet? More like a sewerage outlet.
What a load of poo
Good old scraping the bottom of the barrel in scaremongering tactics and trying to defy the will of the democratic society we’re supposed to live in! 😂👏🏻🖕🏻
What a load of bollocks
More hard hitting reporting from then...
PF
Once our borders are in place it will help keep Rabies out won’t it!
😂😂😂 no wonder ofcom is investigating the bbc for bias!! Better go back to the eu for a bit more cash...
I'm guessing.. and I could be wrong here, that when we had that big vote a few years ago where people decided whether they wanted to remain or leave.. they gave their views on a ballot paper like everyone else who voted?
You can forget the French bulldogs we want British
Not news. Not ever. An embarassing organisation funded by the threat of prison.
No one cares
FFS!! Anybody else? I hear the national association of slug fanciers have a few Brexit reservations as well.
Fewer dogs being flown in for dog shows? Cancel brexit immediately!
Why, will all their mutts drop dead on March 29th? 😂😂😂
How is this news?
My heart bleeds...
