Lol! I would have expected her to say Peke then! But you could well be right yes.

Pedigree dogs 3years on is on bbc4 on monday ..
Why not bbc1 i wonder???

If this has been posted sorry...

Peke or pug----both have breathing problems. Easy mistake to make when you have two ruined breeds to choose from.

What, all of them


LOL easy mistake OK.. as one looks like the other..

Lol. Yes nothing like having all the facts before you open your mouth.

All week there are dog programs on BBC4 starting from tonight....what did we do before sky+ ?!

Very sad, someone makes a mistake remembering an unhealthy dog begining with a p
We all know what they ment
But rather than face up to the fact that the winning dog was so unhealthy it is far better to try and divert attention by ridiculing her

Dosent change the fact the dog was unhealthy

Was it?? why was it unhealthy?

This is what happens though. 'Show people' (at least their representatives on this forum), are completely blinkered and either cannot or will not accept that there is any problem with any breed.

That is why the programme was needed. The KC were not willing to look the problems in the face, they had to be pushed into it.

Is that right from what I can see, most show folk (and their representatives on this forum) are well aware there are problems in ALL breeds, hence is why they collect data and work toward eradicating any ailments in their breeds.

I have no blinkers on concerning my own breed, I know ALL the problems, and I also know what work is being done to eradicate them...

And from many of my friends with other breeds , they to are far from blinkered.

BM said the Peke was unhealthy , asking what she meant is not akin to wearing blinkers or unwilling to see any problems..
