Parliament is on summer holidays so the BBC turns to dog breeding to fill in
air time.

I just heard a word about this on the box this morning and
Boxers and Cavies were singled out as having grate hereditary heart problems
and that breeders were not taking care !!!!! makes my blood boil
Most reputable boxer breeders/show people all breed from sound heart tested boxers all are found on the UK heart testing site A heart score of between O&2 Are what should be bred from anything higher than a H2 shouldnt be and that is the dame and the sire.If people who buy a pedigree dog keep it as a family pet and not see it as a money making machine from breeding it,most health problems wouldnt arise

I also see they have interviewed RSPCA chief vet Mark Evans
will be interesting to see what he has to say
