You claim rescues will be 'over-run'. Where's your proof? This claim is unsubstantiated scaremongering, which is somewhat ironic given the circumstances. I'll ask again.

Where's your evidence to support that? And you really musn't fall in to the trap of assuming what I do or don't know. You claim damage has been done as a result of the documentary.

YES I agree the Cavalier Breed needs all the help it can get because of all the Unsubstantiated Claims made against it about the SM problem in the Breed ,which has lead to the Press claiming that the Cavaliers' Brains are Exploding I am not going to get into a discussion about Margaret Carter with you ,neither you nor I know the back-ground to what happened . I only know she was asked by the UK CKCS CLUB not to appear on the PDE TV FILM which she would'nt accept, and spoke to Millions of TV Viewers about having seen 100's of MRI SCANs .

It's as simple as can be - you claimed rescues would be 'over-run' as a result of a reaction to the health issues as highlighted by the media. It simply has NOT happened. This is wrong. Pedigree Dogs Exposed was explicit, it showed the problems affecting the breed and brought to public attention the issues that NEEDED to be brought to public attention. It's no good crying 'bias' when what was shown was there for us all to see, we're not all gullible, we're not all idiots, we can reach a decision on an issue without being told that we were all mislead. This is a breed that needs help - and one of its biggest supporters was unceremoniously booted off the CKCS club committee for being brave enough to speak out. The breed is suffering from equally bad PR from some of the misguided folks who have got their priorities wrong. Scaremongering about rescues being 'over-run' when the reality is that they are NOT is not going to help the breed in the slightest. Again, you miss my point.

In this week's Dog World ,is the mention of a Working Group to be set up as a Result of the Pedigree Dogs Exposed TV Film. This is the Associate Parliamentary Group for Animal Welfare(APGAW) No doubt because of the Biased Unsubstanciated Information given about the Cavalier Breed,on the TV Film ie, SM Figures ,Cavaliers Brains ,leading onto the Press saying that Cavalier Brains are Exploding etc. Let no-body be in any doubt ,because of the Millions who saw the TV Film ,because of it ,now believe that the Cavalier Brains are falling out of their Heads ,or Have Exploding Brains . What damage has been done to the Breed by the TV Film, or was this the intention all along. Bet Hargreaves Ryan

Pedigree Dogs Exposed aired months ago in the UK and rescue centres have NOT become 'over-run' as you state. So it's somewhat ironic if your main complaint is that the documentary was scaremongering if you are doing it yourself. But this is plainly not true.

I was responding to your claim that rescues would be 'over-run'. Pedigree Dogs Exposed aired months ago. 5m people saw it and countless others have heard about it, read about it and seen its findings appear in the media - yet rescue centres, quite simply, are not 'over-run' with Cavaliers. It simply hasn't happened. I don't think I have missed the point. I was responding to your claim that rescues would be 'over-run'.

The Cavalier Breed is now Finished
