Pedigree Dogs Exposed!!! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Yes I saw this and it was very upsetting. The breeders featured didn't seem to be dog lovers at all, just interested in the money they could make. I was crying watching those poor king charles spaniels whose brains were too big for their skulls - and then the breeders denying that there was anything wrong with them. One of these spaniels who carried this gene had sired 36 litters!I'm sure that these uncaring and cruel breeders are in the MINORITY but they give pedigree dog breeding a bad name.

Someone sent me this link to the series in six parts on you tube. I would caution the soft hearted against the first two in the series especially.

sorry link doesn't work.

Thank you for posting the you tube. I watched all of them but part 6. It seems that no one really cares if they are healthy or not as long as they earn the title of CH. This is actually sick to hear, I am a boxer fan and have always been one. It broke my heart to see that poor boxer having to deal with this issue, due to breeders not caring what happens on the inside of the dog just as long as it looks great on the outside. Enough is enough. Dogs should not be shown in any age group, until they show proof that they have passed all testing. If that means vet checks and testing done prior to entering every show, so be it. Breeders talk about how much money it cost to show and breed well they need to put their money where their mouth is and have test done before they show and win. If you can't pass the screening then you can not show or enter into any events.
My two cents worth, and it might not be much, but oh well.

How'd you see it??? Can you post the link because all the links I found were expired and I would like to see this!!

DejaVu · 09-11-2008, 06:08 PM

i tried all the links as well, i would like to see the videos. ill search for them and see if i can dig them up on the net..

DejaVu · 09-11-2008, 11:20 PM

if you type "pedigree dogs exposed" in your tube, the video links come up and they work.

YorkieChick1 · 09-12-2008, 12:31 AM

Thanks Deja vu, I did go to You Tube and I was able to watch the whole series. It was very disturbing to see that poor young boxer have a seizure. And those poor Cavalier spaniels in such agony just because breeders are more worried about cosmetic looks instead of good health. That is what is happening to Yorkies too. Unscrupulous breeders are breeding for size and color instead of health and we eventually are going to have some purebred dogs go extinct because of it. It's a shame.

This documentry highlights the consequences of inbreeding/selective breeding for certain traits.

BBC iPlayer - Pedigree Dogs Exposed

Although I have not had a chance to look at this as yet.
I am sure I will not be surprised unless they forget to mention that along with pulling the cute genes or the go smaller genes or what ever a breeder does to a dog to make it look great or be more resiliant to something, you take a behaviour gene as well.

All to many say they breed for temperment without a clear understanding that they are already doing so when they change anything in a dogs look.

Some of it has nothing to do with showing but public demand. Yorkies aren't being bred down in size and to have baby doll faces (which encourages open fontinels) because that's what the judges want to see. It's because the public has decided that they want tiny, cutsie yorkies with big eyes and very short muzzles. Breeders find they can sell them for more by meeting the demand and so alot of them are breeding for that type. What happens when you use a tiny runt to sire a litter trying to get tiny pups? You pass down all of the genetic faults that contributed to making the sire small. I've had people comment, "oh he's tiny he would make a great stud." They don't stop to look at the dog as a whole or his genetic background.

Great reply, this can't be said enough.

I agree 100%. I would also like to see some sort of temperment and/or working tests mandated. I watched the clips linked in the 3rd post and it's pretty obvious that those shepherds couldn't herd if their lives depended on it; they can barely walk!

I also agree with the post about public demand. Good one!
