Comments on: Rewind: The Kennel Club Accredited Breeder Scheme – Is it Just a Platform to Sell More Puppies? http://www.dogmagazine.net/archives/2861/rewind-the-kennel-club-accredited-breeder-scheme-is-it-just-a-platform-to-sell-more-puppies/ the lifestyle magazine for dog lovers Sat, 11 Jun 2011 15:23:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: bet hargreaves http://www.dogmagazine.net/archives/2861/rewind-the-kennel-club-accredited-breeder-scheme-is-it-just-a-platform-to-sell-more-puppies/#comment-44001 bet hargreaves Tue, 16 Jun 2009 08:50:53 +0000 http://www.dogmagazine.net/?p=2861#comment-44001 The Article on the Accredited Breeders Scheme is sure a co-incidence for me. I have just contacted the Kennel Club a week ago asking about this Scheme and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Breed.The Cavalier Breed suffers from TWO Serious Health Problems ,MVD Heart Trouble and Syringomyelia. The KC only Recommends that Accredited Breeders Health Test for both those conditions, the KC does not say that Accredited Breeders are REQUIRED to Health Test for the conditions. 50% of Cavaliers have a Heart Murmur at 5 years of age ,this means that of 11,000 Cavaliers registered by the KC last year about 6,000 of them will have a Heart Murmur in 5 years time. The Neurology Researchers say that Cavaliers should be being MRI Scanned before being bred from to discover asto whether they are suffering from Syringomyelia or not. The Accredited Breeders Scheme ,is really not much use to the Cavalier Breed in combating these two Health Conditions. Has the Kennel Club only used their propaganda about the ABS as a Strategy Aimed at Defusing the worries the Public could be having as a result of the Pedigree Dogs Exposed TV Program.
