Re: Pedigree Dogs Exposed Petition

Perhaps if the KC were only to allow puppies to be registered that were bred from parents who had the relevant testing done this would encourage many breeders to get the tests done before hand. It isn't difficult most championship shows, breed shows and vets organise from time to time the relevant experts to come in and do testing. I used to breed and show English cockers and my bitches were always checked by a vet before and after mating. Also I would have already had eye and hip testing done along with heart checks and I always chose a stud for his nature as well as conformation and insisted in seeing his test results. OK so this all costs money but at the end if breeders were not getting testing done and were being prevented from registering puppies don't you think they would either give up or change their ways.
