FYI
"The 15 high profile breeds to which the rules will apply include
basset hounds, bulldogs, German shepherds, mastiffs, pugs and Chinese
crested dogs, which have been chosen because of concerns the breeds
can suffer from health issues."

Some Crufts winners will need vet's approval
Published on Sun Jan 09 08:49:26 GMT 2011
Crufts will be assessing the health of 15 high profile breeds of dogs at
the Birmingham NEC in 2012 before handing out any awards, the Kennel
Club announced.
The move aims to improve health in pedigree dogs and protect the sport
of dog showing, which have both come under prolonged scrutiny in the
wake of a BBC documentary which claimed dogs bred for shows were
suffering a high degree of genetic illness.
The Kennel Club, which runs Crufts, said all Best in Breed winners at
the world famous dog show in 2012 and at all the club's championship
shows after that will need a clean bill of health from the event's vet
before their award is confirmed and they are allowed to continue to
compete in the final.
And any dog which becomes a champion - for which it needs three wins at
championship shows - will also need to undergo a successful veterinary
examination......
