Pedigree Dogs Exposed - the sequel
http://www.dogworld.co.uk/News/22-Breaking-newsJemima Harrison, creator of the original programme which caused so much turmoil in the world of dog showing, confirmed today that she has been commissioned to make another hour-long programme which will be screened by BBC4.
Ms Harrison of Passionate Productions said she will complete the film early next year, although it is not yet known when it will be broadcast. She intends to attend several shows in coming months, including Southern Counties this weekend, although her request for permission to film there has been denied by chairman David Cavill, so no filming will be taking place.
Part of the programme will recap on the original Pedigree Dogs Exposed, which was broadcast nearly three years ago, and will be filmed from Ms Harrison’s point of view, it is understood. The breeds under the spotlight are yet to be decided, although it is believed the Dalmatian with Pointer in her pedigree, who was registered by the Kennel Club after she was imported from the US, will be featured.
“I will be looking to show what has changed since the original programme, and Fiona, the Dalmatian, is significant,” Ms Harrison said.
Interviews with the KC’s key members of staff and members have been requested.
KC secretary Caroline Kisko declined to comment.

I would say a large percentage of the progress the KC has made in the last few years was thanks to that documentary.
I'll look forward to seeing it
Thanks for the heads up DD!

Wonder if she will be honest about the unhealthy dogs shown on this program origins-she has admitted to deliberately misleading the viewers regarding the Boxer & Cavalier lack of traceable pedigrees as neither were actually bred from KC registered parents & had no KC dogs in their pedigrees for over 10 generations !

Whilst I agree the K.C needed to do something about some aspects of unhealthy pedigree dogs..the way J.H went about it was totally wrong. I now refuse to buy "Dogs Today" magazine because of their anti pedigree dogs attitude egged on by J.H. iwonder how much damage was done by the programme and this is one reason why we are seeing the so called "designer dogs"??????
Of course I respect others views...the above is just my opinion...

Very true.
In any case al lthis does is give those opposed to the KC more fuel to add to their fire and increases the bank balances of those who try to bamboozle the public with the term "hybrid vigour" without admitting that if you cross Brand A with Brand B this does not ipso facto rule out medical issues it CAN in fact increase them.
Ho hum.

The popularization of designer dogs has more probably come over from North America where designer dogs were popularized in the 80s. Wallace Haven ran a large commercial kennel and played a great part in popularizing crossbreeds with the Puggle - to the tune of 2500 pups a year.
Those who breed/support pure and those who breed/support designer have been having it out since. . . . .
