I'm glad the beep took a stance no to broardcast,,,,,slaps them on the back for showing some compassion and human feelings for the scandlous way poor dogs are fashioned for the selfpampering of I wants. :-| :-| :-|

I can usually watch most things, but the poor little pug being operated on so she can breath is almost too much :-(

if your going to breed dogs or any other animal
you have to go into the genetics of breeding
and way the pros and cons up first
before enbarking on willie nilly atempts of breeding
theres nothing worse than a back yard breeder
who knows nothing but thinks they know it all
or even worse somebody who just puts a dog with a bitch
and exspects the cash to roll in

Why if you love dogs would you breed dogs who suffer to titilate your vanity?... quote from a geneticist on there sums it up for me...

Sweden has strict limits on inter breeding of boxers and the times a stud dog can be bred from, which has worked.

what makes me laugh is people cross breeding
giving the crosses fancy names cockerdoodles maltypoos ect
when they had a name already mongrels
you can dress them up as you like but thats what they are
and charging fancy prices
lets keep the breeds pure
most sections in dogs come from inexsperienced people
playing god with their dogs lives

It's interesting, not just re the smaller dogs, but for instance the number of pedigree boxer dogs bred from a single stud dog who all have juvenile kidney disease the same applies to dalmations which if cross bred with US dalmations ( blocked by the kennel club) would NOT have the problem they do, and Cavaliers..well I won't even go into the pain they can suffer..or I shall explode :-(

all small inter breeds come with high health risks, and I can never understand peoples wants for of self pampering to own them and pay someone big bucks for inter-breeding a heinz variety of pedigree dogs,,,,,,grossly wicked to purposly keep using a poor dog to mate to line pockets,,,,its indecent and more so the selfish who buy them..

couldnt watch it as I'd blow a gasket and be upset for days,


poor animals.. :-0 :-( :-( :-(

pedigree dogs exposed BBC4

"In 2008, Jemima Harrison’s shocking documentary condemning canine inbreeding resulted in the Beeb refusing to broadcast Crufts. In this follow-up film, she reveals what’s changed and, alarmingly, how little hasn’t for poor little pugs like George and Cissy, whose rosette-worthy faces come with a host of highly debilitating health problems. Again, Harrison makes a compelling, sickening case for change."
