Caroline Kisko said that the ultimate sanction would be to remove CCs from the breed. Now, while this might be somewhat frightening to regular show goers, it matters not a jot to me or anybody else who doesn't show regularly. It seems that the KC were trying to make a statement about the GSD with the puppy being asked to leave the ring too. I feel very sorry for their breeders and owners. This is not the way forward for any breed and it is pretty sleazy tactics displayed by the KC where the owner/breeder had no way to comment. What about showing bulldogs; pugs; pekinese. These dogs can hardly breathe!! No, pick on the good old GSD whose breed clubs appear to be at the forefront of mandatory health testing. It seems to me that people are obsessed with "image". If a dog doesnt look right, then of course it can't be right. There is currently a debate going on in my breed about the registering of tri colour puppies. This isnt recognised in the Breed Standard but they are still pedigree dogs. This has been discussed in great detail on Facebook but when you come back with a counter-argument, you are accused of bullying!!! I give up!! YOu can never change people's perceptions or ideas - well not the self-righteous people that seem to permeate each breed as it becomes more popular. They then go on to ruin the breed. In my breed, the Bracco Italiano, a breed in its infancy, we have people shouting about colour that are happy to breed from dogs without fully health testing with known problems in the bloodlines. I get called a troublemaker because I highlight the fact that I couldn't care if my dog had a patch of orange instead of being all chestnut - as long as it's healthy and can do a day's work in the field. That is my breed's birthright!Anniehttp://www.braccoitalianoscotland.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-87174776579821510292010-03-23T16:02:26.677+00:002010-03-23T16:02:26.677+00:00Does anyone know who from the KC respond to the po...Does anyone know who from the KC respond to the postings on Facebook who pick and choose what posts stay and witch are deleted.<br /><br />I posted the KC Statement there this morning with a question it was deleted, I then posted the Question WHY are inoffensive questions getting deleted, Again deleted !!<br /><br />I have as much faith in the KC as I have in Politicians and Bankersjoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08353810071365783024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-52361935454770447552010-03-23T14:54:44.690+00:002010-03-23T14:54:44.690+00:00I'm appalled at the attitude of the KC... not ...I'm appalled at the attitude of the KC... not even big enough to hold its' collective hand up and apologise!<br />Lagos, his owner and the judge were ridiculed on national TV because the KC are furious with the real GSD people! How dare we ask for MANDATORY health checks, how dare we point out the useless, toothless ABS, introduced by the KC as a panacea for Joe Public. Our KC should hang its' head in shame for the appalling way they govern dogdom in this country... high time Joe Public knew the truth!missbeebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05408062588721176824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-13182989325595370122010-03-23T14:41:13.388+00:002010-03-23T14:41:13.388+00:00The KC statement is pure spin, a waste of pen and ...The KC statement is pure spin, a waste of pen and paper. Lets blame somebody else for their error of judgement. Lets blame More 4, or Claire Balding, or the BVA vet, or ......... <br /><br />I would 100% agree with the statement issued by Carol Keen, and all the while a large majority of GSD exhibitors in the UK carry on with their health testing and many now working qualifications/AD tests etc etc at least WE the GSD breeders and exhibitors have a clear consience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-27320051046552914332010-03-23T14:39:25.609+00:002010-03-23T14:39:25.609+00:00*These reports will, as always, go to the Kennel C...*These reports will, as always, go to the Kennel Club’s Dog Health Group* <br /><br />Is this the same group who wont make health compulsory, what a cop out, there was many officials round Gsd ring who have been given authority over the judge<br /><br />Rule states<br />Kennel Club officials and show officials are expected to refer any dogs that they believe to be unhealthy to the on-site vet, who can authorise the dog’s removal from further competition at that show<br /><br />Clearly there is no case to answer Unless the KC are taking advice of the new expert on Gsd's Clair Baldingjoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08353810071365783024noreply@blogger.com
