That is disgusting, Swimmy. These people should never be allowed near animals again.

Re: Who Can you Trust?

Didn't this happen a good while back, or is this yet another case, Swimmy?
I thought I remembered reading about this in my dog magazine some time ago.

I have always said, and still stick by it, that some show people are the biggest rogues going.
They are more interested in money and prestige than a dog's welfare - unless of course the dog is one that wins only red rosettes, and can therefore gain the breeder more money and prestige when mated.

Many years I got caught out myself by yet another unscrupulous breeder of GSD's. Well known and respected in the breed, who was breeding with unhealthy stock for money. Too long a story to go into now.

I know others, who have litters, then discard puppies who have so-called 'faults' simply because the poor little mites have a tail half an inch too short, or one ear that doesn't lay perfectly, or eyes not quite the correct colour for the breed standard judges.

I know another who fiddles a litter's paperwork, and sells puppies with false pedigrees - again for the money.
Her bitches are held, and forced to mate, litter after litter regardless of KC rules about this.

As long as an animal looks like a clone of the breed standard, no matter about health, how inbred it is, and/or temperament, it will be bunged in the show ring, either with the owner, or sometimes a professional 'runner' who will be paid to run their dog round the ring and make it look perfect.

Some breeders disgust me.

Rant over.

I agree Muddy, one reason why I hate the Kennel Club is their encouragement of breeding deformity into animals purely for cosmetic reasons and seemingly without any consideration for the health of the animal, but having said that whoever thought an alsation looked better with a bent spine really needs to seek treatment for themselves!

Re: Who Can you Trust?

I just don't agree with Crufts anymore so stopped watching it a few years ago. I don't like the fact that dogs are driven all over the place for no good reason and I don't like the constant grooming for the judges.
