What he had to say was very interesting. His viewpoint seems to boil down to: If "it doesn't show", the dog should be eligible for a championship and possibly even to be bred. For examples: A blind dog, if he can find his way around the show ring, should be able to compete. A Cavalier with MVD or SM, as long as the disorder "doesn't show", should be allowed to compete and be bred.

Rod that is an interesting comment and I noted what frecklesmom posted in the General section of this forum.
KC revises exhibitors’ show entry declaration

That's about it, Eddy. As far as the UK Kennel Club chairman seems to be concerned, superficial appearances rule the day. Invisible genetic disorders don't count because they are invisible.

It's time for this gentlemen to GO!

Rod in my previous post I made a mistake and I have been corrected privately which I am thankful for. David Cavill is NOT the Chairman of the UK Kennel Club. Ronnie Irving is the Chairman.

Here is a webpage with information about David Cavill who appeared in that video, see at this link address.

Well, that is a big relief! It did seem quite unpolitic for the chairman of the Kennel Club to go out on a limb like Mr. Cavill did. Nevertheless, it seems that their ethics code provision falls right in line with Mr. Cavill's thinking.
