How to loose friends and upset people

In the last two weeks, her indoors has had three calls from families who have all lost their beloved Bernese mountain dogs. One was two and a half, one was six, and the last was seven. All the dogs came from the same breeder, all three had inbreeding COI 's of between 15-20, and all three died from cancer. Why when the facilities are there to plan healthy litters with lower COI 's is this happening. The first Bernese that lived in this house , born 14 years ago had a COI of 20, and died of cancer, and now a decade later nothing seems to have changed. Families are still having their hearts broken and dogs that are odds on to die of a cancer are still being bred because SOMEBODY ONLY CARES FOR THE CASH OR THE SHOW RESULT.  Everybody is entitled to their own opinion but to simply ignore what's going on in a breed is like burying your head in the sand. Ok working on just the COI isn't guaranteed to do the job, but it's a start. Some breeders say that using foreign stud dogs artificially decreases a litters COI , and it's cheating, but what it's actually doing is doubling the gene pool within the resultant litter.   Health checks are in place on the continent, where the gene pool is much bigger than in the uk. Dogs that are with responsible breeders, with all their accompanying paper work have been health checked and anybody who loves the breed is only going to import lines that they know will bring benefits. Now in addition to cancer, we are looking at Canine Degenerative myelopathy  which if you read the articles is definately hereditary ..... But can be both checked for and controlled with responsible breeding .  Yes miracles  don't happen overnight, but atleast take the time and trouble to research things for yourself, irrespective of being a breeder of twenty five years standing, a new breeder, or a CASH breeder. How many breeders do actually check the COI of dogs they sold ten years ago or know if they are still alive?  You only have to look at a veteran BMD class to see that the average age is no longer eight, and the number of dogs over 10 is negligible . If you lost one of the most precious things in your life at two and a half years of age would you go back to that same person again? I have said it before, and I will say it again..... I want to live till I am 12, be loved , healthy and pass away curled up in my own basket, but most of all I want those years to mean as much to the people that breed Bernese , as they do to me and my two legs.  I know that I am throwing the proverbial match in the fireworks, but it's about time somebody did!!!!  And now seems like as good a time as any other.  RUNNING RED  HOT Gryff
