Hmmm – so taking part in a documentary that may actually at last reform the Kennel club and potentially save the pedigree dog from extinction and avoidable suffering is “shitting where they eat”….is it?

So we’re all meant to look the other way – pretend there’s nothing wrong. great plan. It’s worked so well since 1873 hasn’t it.

all those pitiful, trusting Cavaliers dying young of heart problems or having to be put to sleep when they’re in agony because their brain is too big for their skull?

The BBC not showing Crufts is not going to ‘save’ any dogs and the program last night won’t save pedigree dogs , it will just make people buy more designer dogs thinking they are healthy when their heath depends on what they are bred from. You can get good x breeds the best of both but you can get the reverse too and end up with a dog with the problems of both breeds
