The person who made the program is heavely involved in rescue work both here and in the UK. She has taken many dogs to be rehomed from rescues here and knows her facts. It's a pity that there are so many breeders who continue to stick their head in the sand when it comes to the health of their dogs. Everything the program contained is fact. We need change and we need it fast otherwise breeds like the Cavalier and the Pug will cease to exist. Thank you Mick for your post it is so refreshing to hear from someone who challenges and questions :) I must disagree with you Lesley.

They say nothing about the contibutions in time and money made by breeders to organisations trying to help the situation and right the wrongs done in ignorance by breeders decades ago. These statistics are so way off being accurate it would be laughable if it was not so serious. This is gutter journalism of the worst kind.
