The epetition calls for reform, to make the KC stronger. So it would need to be them that decides which tests in consultation with the breed clubs and the vets. But we need someone to govern, to be responsible and we all need to get behind them.
They need to change constitutionally too – in my opinion – as their current membership system is antiquated and unrepresentative.
The ABS needs either abandoning or revising, it could have been good – but they stuffed it up.
Better to make the assumption that all test and concentrate on educating those that don’t and charging them more until they do rather than the other way around and charging the good!
We’re cancelling our feature on Pekes, btw if the Kc are thinking of radically change they way they are going to look we’ll wait until that sorts it self out – although I must say it’s odd if they’re not talking to the breeders! And I have to say it’s a bit odd that they didn’t take any action on this earlier if they had seen the letter all those years ago from the vet that did the soft palate resection on Danny – if perfection demands surgical enhancement to function… bit of a worry
