She should be stripped of any titles, and banned from breeding & showing dogs

Totally agree and it would be nice to know she is the only one who does this and an exception to the rule but I really don't believe that for one minute, the whole show dog and breeding from winners just smacks of financial greed and no morals.

Just got around to watching the program last night

Even more worried and confused about getting a healthy dog now!

Didn't someone on here buy a Pug a few weeks ago? How bad must they feel now

Very sorry state of affairs indeed, was utterly shocked by the attitudes of breeders, particularly Cav breeders

That poor Boxer, it broke my heart when he was fitting, what i got mad about was one breeder said if it was born the wrong colour I.E. White Boxer, which we owned and loved dearly for 11 years and the ridgeback because it had no ridge should be put down, it's the breeders who should be put down IMO.....

Cheers

Exactly - who can you trust? As I posted earlier we are Cavalier owners but the news about this breed was very worrying. The KC have this Accredited Breeders thing but there is sod all on their site about what this actually means in terms of real breeding requirements. I even wonder if it is breed specific or just a Code of Practice for having clean kennels or whatever. I'm going to try and find out more. dl
