The Kennel Club promotes inbreeding Selective breeding and this will be the end of dogs through genetic disease, only 10% of the genes they had 40 years ago have made it into todays generation of dogs 90% have been lost any other animal would be put on the endangered list

Looking for others thoughts on this issue that has our beloved dogs in a very harmful situation

The United Kingdom's Kennel Club was not given an opportunity to present their facts during the making of the documentary, which appears to be one-sided.

The Office of Communication in England partially ruled in favor of the Kennel Club and stated last month that it didn't have a chance for a fair rebuttal. Since it is a one-sided documentary, presenting extreme views on breeding pure bred dogs, my opinion of the piece is that it does not present the conformation venue or breeders in a complete manner.

And this is how Animal Rights organizations work. They have more tactics than Carter's has pills to demonize breeders, and any animal industry.
Animal Rights bad - Animal Welfare good.

It definitely wasn't a balanced piece but I thought they had some valid points.

I haven't watched this in a while... but you do realize that there would be no pure bred dogs if there were no inbreeding whatsoever. Thing COI!

I watched it for 15 minutes and determined all it to be nothing more then an advocate for mutts. Def a load IMO.
