I am not a minority in the pedigree dog world.<br /><br />Ah but, you don't want to know about the good people, you just want to slag off all of us.<br /><br />I'd like to know where you get your stats from re cross breeds being healthier..... And, do the stats show if the dog comes from a registered breeder or a back yarders????<br /><br />You Jemima have told only half the story and have done a damned good job of victimizing the innocent breeders that try their hardest to eradicate diseases within their breed. But that's a bit boring, and quite contrary to the sensationalism you are trying to get.<br /><br />Yes there are bad apples in every bunch, but why focus only on them. What about the good apples?
