I have just read Carol's letter in Dog World's Letter Page to-day.
She has headed it ,don't Dismiss the Views of the Pet Owning Public.
It is in answer to Caroline Kisko ,Secretary ,of the Kennel Club,as Carol mentioned , making disparaging comments towards Pet Owners who contributed to the APGAW REPORT.
One of C Kisko's insults towards Pet Owners ,was ,she objected to individuals with no expertise getting the same profile as Breed Clubs who know what they are talking about.
A further insult of C Kisko's towards Pet Owners was her remark ,that one Bad Experience does not make some -one an Expert.
All I can say about that remark ,is where are the Cavalier Breeder Experts, who have let our Cavalier Breed get into the Dire Straits it's in to-day with the MVD and SM Problems.Where has their Experience Been.
OK many are beating their Breasts, saying ,look what we are now doing ,but where were they ,20 years ago when they were being warned about the MVD Problem in Cavaliers.
Carol's Letter had an interesting conclusion, that Pet Owners are dismissed as not knowing what they are Talking about ,and not qualified to have an equal Profile with Breeders or Breed Clubs
Possibly this is because ,as Carol goes onto say ,up until now we have operated as Individuals and perhaps the Time has come to create an Official Orginisation of our Own.
I sure would Second That!!
