I actually believe there is not enough publicity out there.

The platforms which are set up to educate, just dont bother.

Look at Supervet. So many of the cases seen on there must be as a result of bad breeding. Why do they not highlight good breeding practices and how to avoid buying a train wreck?

The documentary about the Kennel club all those years ago still makes a massive impact, I'm sure. People believing pedigree equates to poor health.

I believe that the vast majority of people simply want to see the bitch and see puppies in a family home. I don't think requirements go much further than that for the vast majority.

Unfortunately I think you are right. I stopped watching Supervet a long time ago for various reasons but used to get infuriated that he never mentioned how people could minimise the risk of getting a dog with hereditary conditions.
People have this image of puppy farms with loads of dogs in pens and don't realise how many other bad so called breeders there are.

Frankly I think most dogs are bought on whims and when whims hit people want it NOW. They don’t want to wait for litters to be bred/grow up. They don’t want to pay more than the cheapest one they have seen. They then don’t want to put any work in and expect a dog to just be perfect immediately cause they saw one on telly that is. Until there is enforced laws on dog breeding and buying it will never change.

Glad to hear this one has found a foster home. OH friend has gone to see an 18 month old dog today. It keeps biting the owner. It's never walked. He was sent a video where owner put its lead on, dog thought it was going for a walk and she just turned it round by the door, so it started nipping her. Getting it all excited about going out, then not going out, what dors she expect. Sounds totally frustrated. Hope OH friend will agree to take it on.

Your post reminded me of a Facebook page that I came across recently. I'll try and copy some of the posts for those not on Facebook.
