Good news for some breeds, Will the AKC follow suit? It looks like the BBC documentary may have done some good after all. We can only hope that the AKC will folliow suit. Healthier new bulldog will lose its Churchillian jowl - Times Online This post is in reference to the following thread about Show dogs. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...s-exposed.html |
wow that sounds like it will be a good thing for the dogs but a bad thing for for the breeders and show dogs they just ended the showing career of hundreds if not thousands of dogs and probably put a lot of breeders out of buisness |
FYI - I posted a number of threads and breeds that have been helped by the documentary: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...us-guilty.html |
I was just watching this video.. Its a headliner on aol news. Its very sad and interesting at the same time. I knew that purebred dogs have changed but wow, I didnt relize it was that much. The part about the "show" german shepard and the "working" german shepard shocked me the most, how and why can the show dog have legs like that and it be ok, its just cruel. My heart was breaking for the cavalier, I was actually interested in buying one in the future, but not anymore. I think it will be awhile before I purchase a purebred anything. I will stick with my mutts, its stated in that video that there is links to cross breds being healthier than purebreds because of all the inbreeding that is being done and has been done for years... purebreds are being genetically ruined... I know that there are a select few that actually do care about the animals they are breeding and put the time, money,love and effort that is needed to keep the standard but That video was a huge eye opener and I have very little faith in the "purebred" world anymore... |

It was, I posted it almost 2 years ago or at least 1 1/2 years. This is not new info...it just finally showed up on TV here in the states. |

But it also lies with the breeders who are breeding these dogs, knowing that they carry the genetic defect. If the breeders stopped breeding them the breed would die off, but if the club changed the standard, the breed could continue and the damage be reversed. It just makes one wonder that with the YTCA DQing all of the colors if the they are going to go the same direction. Perhaps the off colors will someday become the standard out of necessity. Parti breedeers have the option of breeding to any yorkshire terrier line, to create carriers. Our gene pool is not limited. |
Wow this is a huge reform! So many common breeds are involved. I'm not sure how this will play out, but it's very interesting. But I am happy. Bulldogs suffer so much. When they come in to the salon their faces always stink like BO and most can barely stand on our tables because they're overweight. Kudos to the UK! |

It just made me sick that the Ridgeback breed club actually encouraged breeders to destroy those pups that did not have the ridge. :mad: How heartless. |
