These dogs should have been wearing doggles to keep "the chalk" out of their eyes.
Breaking News: The (English) mastiff BOB winner at Crufts failed her mandatory heath check.
The dog’s name is Ch. Secret Charm Avec Dibest .
No reason for the failure has been given. And no CIA (Canine Intelligence Agency) officer has been able to snatch a photo of the documents, as was the case with the Clumber spaniel.
Note that this is the mastiff, as in the one from England, not the Neapolitan mastiff, which is almost assured to be scratched.
The doggy Taliban, rest assured, is either busy putting together another Facebook “We was robbed” page or are busy writing crazy, Rusty Shackleford-level nonsense on forums. (It’s certainly appearing in my inbox!)

When I saw this, this immediately came into my mind:
Still is pretty epic though, this health testing will do SO much good for purebred dogs, if the breeders choose to accept it…
