Pedigree Dogs Exposed

Documentary - BBC - Pedigree Dogs Exposed

Pedigree Dogs Exposed was a BBC One investigative documentary, produced by Jemima Harrison, which looked into the health issues facing pedigree dogs in the United Kingdom.

The UK Kennel Club initially protested the documentary, claiming it was unfairly edited and inaccurate. Yet a few months later, they started making changes. They updated breed standards and launched the Fit for Life campaign so that "every dog should be bred to be fit enough to enjoy its life to the full." They will no longer register direct inbreeding (father/daughter, mother/son, or siblings) and have commissioned an independent investigation into pedigree dog breeding that will present its recommendations next year.

Comment by Jacki, Nutmeg & Cinnamon on February 17, 2010 at 10:34pm: This made me sad. I love my Corgi's, and have always owned pedigreed dogs. I've had Yorkies before the Corgi. McCormick lived to 16 and her brother 17. Spice is currently 11, and Ginger is 5. I think we just have to use common sense, and be humane!
