I have recently bought a springer and I was lucky enough to know the breeder and I saw the mother, father and grandfather of the dog I bought, and a wonderful dog he is to. Am so glad that these matters are being brought to the attention of people as it is so easy for anyone to just go and buy a dog. we in the working dog world get called by the antis , lacs, rspca, etc , when you see programs like the one in question and the kc one a couple of months back , it enforces My belief that are way of life is right and the care we take of the animals we use are bred to a high standard , from pups
