Re: Kennel Club & it's practices
JUDI .......you're too funny sometimes BUT AT SAME TIME posting this link is good
While so many love to watch dog shows I have a hard time as deep down the pedigrees are bred for SHOW and not health.
certain pedigrees lines (actual structural lines/form) has been bred just for LOOKS with NO regards to health.
Also the AKC.....what is done regarding say HD? do these breeders think of TESTING like many reputable breeders do w/doodles.
In my area there is a well known breeder of Irish Setters and refuses to sell UNLESS they're for SHOWING.
NOW she does have a full daily schedule of diet, exercise and more BUT NO TESTING!
so if these breeders and people who show their dogs love them so much WHY NOT BREED FOR HEALTH THAT SHOULD BE A QUALIFICATION
TO ENTER A DOG SHOW!!!
