Hi Karen,

They talk about the many genetic problems in dogs.

And about (taking the most extreme) cosmetic changes of dog breeds over the years.

And what kind of effect that has on the health of dogs.

And how ignorant people are with genetic diseases.

For example the Cavalier King Charles Spaniels who’s scull is too small for the brain, (don’t know how the diseases is named)

Wherefore dogs who suffer from it have a lot of pain. You must imagine then a full day of a real bad headache.

Even people who know who’s dogs is diagnosed with the same disease they still let the stud be used for breeding.

And that dog also wins Best in Show’s. In fact the dog diagnosed with the diseases has had 26 litters after diagnosed with the disease. Even all breeders know that and still use him.

And that the Kennel Club has to do more about that kind of things. That dogs with inherited diseases cannot be shown.

Also of course the German Shepherd about the back and that it is not health. The short nosed dogs.

But also dog breeds who suffer from other inherited diseases like epilepsy and more.

Very confronting with how it is in real life!! Because I know it is in every breed that people put the showprices priority to health!!!

Though the Weimaraner has not have (yet?) so many cosmetic problems, I know there are many other diseases which has to be taken care of more than is done now.!
