A Call For An End to The “Breed Mafia”

Published on May 4, 2010 by   ·   2 Comments

In every breed in this shallow world of exhibition there is always the ‘breed mafia’. Usually a group of elderly women (with the occasional male) that is steadfast in its view even when wrong, they are self proclaimed experts in nothing who draw in the stupidly dazed owners of tomorrow with a coven like chant of “we are the breed , there is nothing anyone can teach us about this breed.”
Unfortunately all this does is create disharmony, damages dogs and stagnates gene pools to such a degree that health crisis are inevitable. The showing of any dog should be judged fairly and with vigour , the winner of today will become the sire or dam of the future, moreso when its being performed by the breed mafia who have very little time for newcomers unless of course those newcomers are as uneducated and care as little about the future of a breed as they do.

It is now time for all owner exhibitors to make a stand and protest to the Kennel Club. Tell them what is wrong with dogs today in order to protect dogs for tomorrow. If the KC are oblivious to what is factually happening because we all keep quiet then nothing can ever be achieved. It is no longer acceptable for the annoyed to levitate the ignorant selfish breeder/exhibitor to podiums they do not deserve. Help re-structure breed clubs that operate a breed mafia winning system with those poor judges we have all met and continue to watch oscar winning performances whilst brown nosing with these old mafiosa.

Do not stand back doing nothing , if we careful ethical breeder/ exhibitors are to protect our breeds for the future generations to enjoy then surely we all have an obligation to make a protest and demand the KC take note. Lets be honest here, the KC need our money to survive, its by us doing nothing that allows this foul play to continue.

If this is a sport as most will stat e then lets have some real rules for ALL to abide by, lets start by having a judging committee that assesses every appointment and lets commence appointments from outside breed clubs, its a monopoly of deceit and corruption and this must not be allowed to continue.

Let us also have a fully fledged discipline committee of professional people who ARE qualified to assess all aspects of a hearing, with that comes an effective legal appeals system.

The KC is no longer an old boys network of the 1800′s its a financial company that is still operating by the rules of a bygone age which actually contravenes the rights of everyone of its users. Stand up and be counted, demand KC action NOW, because if we dont, dogs will never see a happy healthy fit for life function or role in society.

Start by requesting the minutes and accounts for the last 5 years of all your breed clubs, ask for the details of why some members have been refused admission or accepted or banned from the club, the m anner in which breeders are chosen to represent the whole club etc, why committee members are chosen, demand everything, if not satisfied call an extraordinary AGM and sack the breed club. It really is that easy if we are all serious about protecting our breeds for the next 100 years.

    This is so True about some who are the Breeder Mafia,…

    Even when we Pet Owners try to say ,that our Breed has a Problem,we are shot down in Flames ,by the Cyber Bullies.

    I will mention my Breed here , Cavaliers.

    The Cavalier Breeders were warned in 1983,yes 27 years ago,by Dr P.Darke, the UK Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club’s Cardiologist, that he had found ,after carrying out Surveys at Cavalier Members’ Shows , that there was a Serious and Worrying Problem which was also Wide- Spread ,MVD Heart Trouble.

    It was said by the Cardiologist at the CKCS CLUB’S AGM last year ,that 50% of Cavaliers will have a Heart Murmur at 5 years of Age, that this is no better than it was 18 years ago.

  2. I see the article on Breeders mafia has forced the article writer to maintain anonimity. No one wants to suffer the wrath of the Mafia, not even journalists!
