They say that in life, “Your Health Is Your Wealth”
As we tend to do here at Pedigree dogs let’s turn the focus of the above statement towards our dogs.
We have published some great articles in relation to dogs health, some just general, and then some more breed specific articles like the one written on Inherited Leonberger Polyneuropathy (ILPN)
As anybody in the world of dogs will know, the health of 6 dogs was called into question at Crufts last week end, and the fallout is still happening.
These 6 dogs were all judged to be Best of Breed on the day, but were not allowed to go forward to represent their breed in their respective groups.
This decision lay at the hands of an independent Veterinary Surgeon.
Of course Vets are human, (like dog judges) and the level of knowledge between one vet and another can be immense.
In cutting edge areas like vaccinations, you have people like Dr. Ronald D. Schultz and then you have certain vets in Ireland that advise customers to buy cross bred dogs because they think pedigree dogs are full of disease.
Again, like judging at dog shows, when it is up to one person to make a decision, you are always going to have people that think that the wrong decision was made, and that they were hard done by.
Let’s just hope that people take a step back, and look at the bigger picture here, and realise that this is all about our dogs health and no one should argue against that !
