jdarling Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Please let me know if any of those links doesn't work. Part one has some stuff from PDE1, but it sets this film up pretty nicely. Another excellent job by Jemima Harrison! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Journey Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 3 &4 work if you follow the link after each vid. Excellent follow up, sad and expected results though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alchemist Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Thanks for posting this, Jodi. Sobering. A few (very few) positive steps, but overall, sad to see so little progress being made, and some people being excoriated for espousing that people try to breed for health in companion animals. Geez.

jdarling Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Seems the videos have been taken down due to a copyright claim by Passionate Productions. That's too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mum24dog Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 From the KC web site Bulldog and Pekingese fail Crufts vet checks 08-Mar-12 No dog representing the Pekingese and Bulldog breeds will compete in Thursday evening’s Best in Group competitions at Crufts after they failed the new veterinary checks that have been introduced to the show. The Best of Breed award was not given to Pekingese, Palacegarden Bianca, or Bulldog, Mellowmood One In A Million, following their veterinary checks, which were carried out by an independent veterinary surgeon. This means that the dogs will not be allowed to continue into the Toy or Utility Best in Group competitions respectively. A small start.

Sue R Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 A lot of big changes for the better start small - here's hoping this is the start of a positive change for the dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mum24dog Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 If you want to see a proper GSD at about 25m Let's hope some of the people watching will be around on pastoral day when they can compare her with the poor specimens in the breed ring.

geonni banner Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 This is great news. A start in responsible action by the Kennel Club. I e-mailed the KC to applaud this action. We have to work to get them to change, and now it's time for a little positive reinforcement. Here is a link to the e-mail comments page on the KC website. http://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/about/contact_us.html And kudos to Pedigree Dogs Exposed and Pedigree Dogs Exposed: 3 Years On. I think these are the best agents for change so far. ETA: Here is the e-mail address for Passionate Productions, home of Jemima Harrison & Pedigree Dogs Exposed and Pedigree Dogs Exposed: 3 Years On should you wish to congratulate them as well. http://www.passionateproductions.co.uk/contact.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oko Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I wonder why they don't do health checks on all the dogs entering the best of breed competition, so that the Best Of Breed winners don't end up being unhealthy and unable to move on to Best in Group/Actually get the title? Good, but not great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushdoggie Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Was it an eye injury or a breathing issue for the bulldog? I read it was an eye scar and no one mentioned anything about the smushed face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geonni banner Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Found this on a website called "vetstreet." http://www.vetstreet.com/dr-marty-becker/veterinarians-kick-out-champion-purebreds-at-crufts-dog-show-for-poor-health "Veterinarians sent the Best of Breed–winning Bulldog and Pekingese packing, denying the dogs the chance to win the prestigious competition. They did so after finding that the extreme structural features of the dogs were incompatible with life as normal, healthy dogs." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it was an eye scar and no one mentioned anything about the smushed face. Who knows atm? The exhibitor says old eye injury, but they would, wouldn't they?Doesn't matter really - the breed is a train wreck and shouldn't be shown anyway.

Elimination should have happened before these animals (and others like them) even stepped into the ring for their first class. They still have all the prestige of BoB and whatever other wins, and this won't stop them from being used for breeding. Too little, too late - even though it is a step in the right direction, but a small step. I am still pleased to see something positive happening.

Too little, too late - even though it is a step in the right direction, but a small step. I am still pleased to see something positive happening. I understood that they will not be awarded BoB after failing the vet check. Note that the Clumber Spaniel has also been eliminated for bilateral ectropion, a defect so glaringly obvious even to the untrained eye that they should never have been in the ring. It remains to be seen if this is a real sign of willingness to change or a one time sacrificial gesture that will be used to demonstrate that they have "changed".

I wonder how much effect that will have on the future of these dogs as breeding animals. Significant, I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
