Moment Crufts winner picked her dog Knopa up by the TAIL is caught on camera

The owner of Knopa, the Scottish Terrier who won best in show at this year’s Crufts, has been slammed for picking up the pooch by its tail, despite repeatedly being told not to.

The Kennel Club had been alerted to the owner’s rough-handling of the dog and told her the behaviour was ‘unacceptable’, but she was spotted just before the dog was announced as the winner doing it again.

The Mirror reports that Knopa’s owner, Rebecca Cross, said it was just something she was used to doing.

‘I apologised. I didn’t do it on purpose, it was just habit.’

If that was "just habit" as she claimed I feel sorry for the other dogs that she as well has if she is a breeder

She should lose her title and not be allowed to enter animals if she behaves like this. It is atrocious to treat any animals like this

It is cruel, it looks awful, as if she is hurting the poor dog.
