ok... I have watched the full min documentary. I have cried ... I am just sick SICK right now. This is beyond horrible what has been done to the poor dogs.
I do think it is the fault of the "show" ring and some breeders. Just seeing how much many breeds have changed in the past 50 years to the pain of the animal. Why?
I made a promise to myself... I will never get another dog UNLESS the parents were tested for all genetic faults.
I have a friend that has a cavalier that has the brain issued shown in the documentary... the family is so hurt. The breeder is STILL breeding the stud ..so how many more pups are born with this painful horrible condition. This is like watching your child die... and it could be prevented,
I have also known breeders that have "show" shepherds that can't even walk... but win awards. Sick Sick Sick
I do not think "mutts" are the solution... if you have breeders who don't test you can still have the conditions...maybe more even. And the person on here who is for the merel gene... sick sick sick!!!!!
Just as bad as puppy mills and unethical breeders.... there has to be a way to change this...
Sorry... I just am so upset. I hate to see a sweet animal in pain..
