Dog lovers have a read of this.
I’m sceptical about the real reason for wanting to ban so many dogs.
Who doesn’t like a dog 🧐
There’s a row brewing over the banning of certain dog breeds in the U.K.
This is already in parliament.
“A new tool to determine whether a dog is healthy has been launched by the all-party parliamentary group for animal welfare to drive out the breeding of dogs with extreme characteristics such as short noses, flat faces and shortened legs.
The innate health assessment, a ten-point appearance-based checklist, is designed to remove unhealthy breeds after studies showed they can from birth suffer pain, discomfort and frustration.
The list of extreme characteristics includes mottled colouration, excessive skin folds, bulging outward-turning eyes, drooping eyelids, under or overbite and a muzzle that disrupts breathing.
However, critics have warned that 67 of Britain’s most popular breeds will automatically be classed as unhealthy under the guidelines, including the Welsh corgi, the dachshund, the Scottish terrier and the shih tzu.
The corgi and several other dwarf breeds would be deemed unhealthy owing to short legs and a lack of ground clearance — a characteristic of the breed, which was used for herding cattle, where small stature was an advantage as cows would kick out above their heads.
Critics described the checklist as a “blunt tool” and questioned why a subjective visual assessment was being prioritised above reliable medical tests for animal health.
Beverley Cuddy, editor of Dogs Today Magazine and founder of the Union of Good Dog People, which promotes ethical breeding practices, said: “We need proper, nuanced tests that don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater or we’re going to lose Britain’s most beloved breeds in the blink of an eye.
“It’s going to be the most shocking thing to happen to dog lovers in this country.
People will rightly be outraged at being told they can’t have the dogs they want. It’s madness.
I think the late Queen would have been very upset by this proposal.”
While voluntary at present, the health checklist is expected to become law within five years.
The Animal Welfare Act already outlaws the breeding of dogs that are suffering, but campaigners say the new assessment expands the definition of when a dog is suffering.
