The Southern branch of the Cavalier Club have challenged the Kennel Club about impossible litters being registered eg two Blenheims producing any of the other colours. At first the KC was reluctant to believe the word of breeders, but have consulted geneticists and agree to do something about it. The KC were told that registering these obviously wrong pedigrees could mean that the dogs could be bred from, thus invalidating others, too.
They are to challenge breeders offering impossible litters and demanding DNA tests may be the next step step. It won't stop the breeding , but they'll have to drop their prices if the dogs aren't registered and losing money will surely put them off.
The KC , at the moment, won't be convinced that very fertile bitches with huge litters are abnormal for the breed but our champions down south are not giving up.
