video quote: "all in the pursuit of cosmetic points, not anatomical points"

So true! It's has been out of control for far too many years.

$$$$$ is the reason. Many breeders say that there is no money in breeding. Are they sure about that? When a dog is labeled BEST IN SHOW in the serious, high end UKC, and AKC shows, there IS money in
breeding those dogs. The money makers are the ones who control these organizations and breed clubs, and who fight to keep the rules they have made in tact. You witnessed them going to the hearings in this video and there are many, many, more like them representing other breeds in the UKC and AKC. Money controls the continuance of this problem.

This video is heartbreaking, and the UKC and breed club presidents were shameful in it.

We hear about the BYB and puppymill unethical money making mind set. To see in this video the high ranking people in the dog world giving top honors to sick and defective dogs, talking about these breeds by glorifying continuous inbreeding, dismissing genetic and health issues, and ignoring historical breeding failures, makes them just as SICKENING as the BYB and puppymill breeder. IMO it's worse because they are hypocrites.




I'll take a puppy from a Hobby Breeder whose concerned about health anyday!
