Kennel Club has now recognised that some breeding standards are out dated and are altering standards to benifit the dogs health .The Kennel Club now promote accredited breeders to breed healthy dogs.
Pedigree distanced themselves from the Kennel Club,they do not sponser Crufts and they do not attend along with a few other big names such as Dogs Trust,a nationwide dog rescue.They believe that bad breeding has led to more homeless dogs.
Sorry to so long winded,just wanted to give some background to the advert. |
I never knew that - I just wish it was on tv and the media MORE that there are just tooooo many dogs being killed daily in this country and others
