In this week's Dog World the Head-lines are that a Cavalier Breed who has spent nearly Two years pursuing his Complaint against Pedigree Dogs Exposed has heard that once again his grievances have not been upheld .
The Cavalier Breeder has protested to every Layer of the BBC's Complaint and Appeals process until it reached the Corporation's Govering Body only to see it Overturned once again.
One of the Cavalier Breeder's Complaints was that when the PDE Program had made it appear that Cavalier Breeders had deliberately Bred Dogs with" Size Ten Brains in Size Six Skulls ,a reference to SM.
He said that the Comment that Breeders Created Dogs with Over-sized Brains was Sensationalism, that there was little or no Scientific Proof to back the Program's claim that 30% of Cavaliers could be affected by SM,that it caused Scratching ,or that SM was a GENETIC Disease , and that no Scientist had claimed it was caused by In-Breeding.
Again his Complaints were not Upheld.
There were other Complaints mentioned by the Cavalier Breeder , it was also said by the Editorial Standards Committee,that the Credentials of the Vet In question ,as an Expert in the Field were sound and that Reporting her Views ,the Program had not Breached the Guidelines on Impartiality or Accuracy
Finally, in Dog World , Jemima Harrison , Pedigree Dogs Exposed's Writer and Producer said.
" I am really pleased with the finding ,which is a very robust defence of the Film's Accuracy and Impartiality"
The Cavalier Breeder's name was given in Dog World.
If I could make a Personal Comment , I firmly believe that if it had not been for Jemima Harrison , and her PDE TV Program, Margaret and Carol who also appeared in the Program, would any notice have been taken about the SM Problem in our Cavalier Breed.
Surely now the Cavalier Owners of Cavaliers suffering from SM have been Vindicated in what, for a number of years they have been saying ,that there is a SM Problem in Cavaliers.
Many of those Cavalier Owners will be saying from the Bottom of Their Hearts ,Thank-You Jemima, Margaret and Carol ,for listening to us.
