Bet where I am in some other breeds some pet owners and breeders just went quietly to their politicians and complained, they did this as they knew that talking to and trying to get things done with the well established scene within their breed would get them nowhere. It was interesting to see how many were trying to stop the politicians bringing in things about Heritable Diseases. Now we have Government Codes Of Practice, and in November there will be Seminars where a representative from the Bureau of Animal Welfare will be attending to explain the Code Of Practice and how breeders can best work with it. In time more Heritable Diseases might be added to the already existing Government Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.
Well that is where I am where things are changing, and I think that after the UK Full Reports come out it just might still be a somewhat turbulent time in the UK dog scene, well we will just have to wait and see if that is so. In regards to the UK Cavalier scene I think that the scene should get heaps involved with Sarah Blott’s EBV Program, and which has been funded from what I hear by the Kennel Club Charitable Trust and the Animal Health Trust where I think that they might like to see it work great, but if it flopped then they would look at the reasons why it did where they may let their thoughts be known.
Also I noted a very recent comment by KC spokesperson Caroline Kisko, “We are making changes first and foremost to protect pedigree health. If we do not act in concert with breed clubs the law is likely to step in and take action independently which will impact equally – or more so – on any groups outside the KC." and “No breed club is immune from the spotlight that is being cast on their breed and these issues will not just go away.”
The APGAW Full Report is being revealed next month, and in the news it was mentioned that DEFRA is keen to obtain a copy. I wonder what the APGAW Full Report might contain and if Cavaliers are mentioned.
Then much later there is the Professor Bateson Full Report that he mentioned was being peer reviewed, and in the video where he was being interviewed from Australia by Catalyst I remember him talking about a Cavalier. I also wonder what his Full Report might contain and if Cavaliers are mentioned.
