I don't know what to make of it,is the Kennel Club's Statement going to improve the Health and Welfare of Dogs.



Will the new Independant Advisory Council be the answer to the Breeding of Dogs and their Health Problems here in Britain, is the KC just a wee bit scared of this happening ,and the control of this be being taken from the KC.

"The Independent Inquiry into Dog Breeding identified the Kennel Club Accredited Breeder Scheme as the best in the UK for monitoring the breeding and welfare standards of breeders."

Actually that's not true.. .........A load of KC spin as usual.

"The Kennel Club’s Accredited Breeder Scheme places a great emphasis on responsible breeding – and it is these overall standards and principles that the Kennel Club wants to make a mandatory requirement for all breeders. ."

They could refuse to register puppies from parents that are not health tested......... but they don't.

I really do wonder why some of the Cavalier Breeders think that they have not been involved in the MVD Problem in Cavaliers being as bad as it is.

They were were told 27 years ago by Dr P.Darke ,the UK CKCS CLUB'S Cardiologist, after he had carried Heart Surveys at CKCS Members' Shows, that this was a Serious and Widespread Problem Afflicting the Cavalier Breed.

I would think that some of the most Vocal of To-days' Cavalier Breeders who claim that they have been Cavalier Breeders for many ,many years ,would have been around at that time.

So what have they been doing for the past 27 years, when it was announced at the CKCS CLUB'S AGM Last Year, that 50% of Cavaliers will have an Heart Murmur at 5 years of Age ,and this is no better than it was 18 years ago.

I would guess, not a lot.!!

At the moment some seem to be up in arms because they are not being given any information about the Cavalier SM Problem,that they are being kept in the Dark about recent meetings.

If the MVD Problem is any-thing to go on, would it make any difference what some of those Cavalier Breeders were being told about the SM Problem , would any notice be being taken by them.
