breeders should be banned by law if they closebreed there dogs, many show winners have real medical probs (people pay a fortune for pups and end up at the vets all there lives.) i once got a pup from a farm with a lot of dogs (she had probs with a tearduct weeping all her life) we also went to see a see another from a puppy farm (we left in shock) they were both KC reg
most are decent dog lovers and do there best for the dogs but when money is the most important thing the dogs suffer.
(i am a doglover and had one most of my life)

(this is what i thing and speak for myself only)

TBH I have little time for KC regd hounds and even less time for the people behind it.

I have owned GSD's 41 years, during which time I had a hound whose Grandfather was Grand American Champion.( more red on the pedigree than you can shake a stick at).

TBH her intelligence was amazing possibly wasted, I am sure she would have made a guide dog etc, her disposition was incredible.

So What !!!

The standard of the breed indirectly encourages hip dislocation via breed standards. There would be no need for hip scoring had the 'experts ' used a degree of savvy.

FWIW current hound , no papers except her pets passport £25 a leg as a puppy, scares naughty people to the core...and errm loves me 100 percent GSD traits

I am yet to be convinced the Kennel club, has the dogs welfare at heart and not an organisation that panders to the expectations of some senile retired Army Colonel or 70 something old spinster a 'specialist' in the South Nottinghamshire vole hound etc

Caravan club syndrome ?
