Well good for you.

Perhaps rules are needed?<BR/><BR/>The Breed Council openly threatened the judging career of any one who did not fall in line & weigh the dogs.<BR/><BR/>The KC may say they will promote judges who do not weigh, without breed council approval, but it is unlikely that anyone will be foolhardy enough to put themselves forward. If passed to judge at Championship shows they would face a well organised boycott.<BR/><BR/>As many health representatives have discovered, anyone standing out against the organised breed clubs can say good bye to any real success in the show ring.<BR/><BR/>The KC lacks the will or ability to tackle the stranglehold that top breeders/exhibitors have on the breed clubs & the pedigree dog scene. <BR/>The KC has been shown to be unable to enforce their own rules or breed club codes of ethics.<BR/><BR/>We will now see dehydrated dogs being pulled past bowls of water they will not be allowed to drink and be expected to believe that a welfare issue has been sorted?<BR/><BR/>I cannot believe that anyone can defend what is being done to make these dogs conform to a breed standard<BR/>Tell me again how much all owners of show dogs love their animals.<BR/><BR/>Margaret CarterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
