I too am pleased with the KC's response. I also think it's very telling that their response is forward-looking, whereas the RSPCA is still bleating on about the same old same old.

However, when you read the quote from the report by Bijou below:

it makes you wonder why the Kennel Club was the focus of this committee in the first place. If APGAW believe that it has been clear that many welfare organisations, veterinary professionals and pet owners believe puppy farmers (and NOT the KC) are reponsible for a large proportion of the dogs who suffer from poor welfare breeding, why are the issues surrounding them not being dealt with in this enquiry?

Could it be because they, along with the RSPCA and the dreadful program PDE, felt that attacking the Kennel Club was much easier than going after the real criminals - ie the puppy farmers?
