After all the recent fuss!

Post by Judy »

After all that money making fuss regarding pure Cockers this appears. Which is basically what a lot of us were saying all along, I even got chucked off one Farcebook group for mentioning the issue on several occasions. :lol: Meantime the working side Cockers has now suffered another huge genetic bottleneck which has done it no favours whatsoever.
Its time the KC put a limit on the number of times a stud dog can be used. :brickwall:

Hallelujah!!! :lol: I wonder if we’ll get an apology now, Judy. :angel: .... not holding my breath. :lol: More importantly, I wonder if the perpetrator of all this is now man enough to give a public apology to the person he’s been holding a witch hunt against. Not holding my breath for that, either. :roll:

Me neither, we'd die of asphyxiation. The whole thing was a farce start to finish, such a shame people were sucked into wasting their money.

I take it we refer to cockergate ?
I had forgotten all about it to be honest.

Yep Cockergate, I'd done my best to ignore it but when I saw the above link this morning all the nonsense came flooding back into my mind.

Having been banned from a trial result page for mentioning exactly this I'm finding it very amusing!

The confusing part is, having a background in genetics, I was happy to explain better ways of testing to prove what they were looking at was true or false but no one wanted to listen!

Even "O" level Biology passed fifty odd years ago told me that breed purity thing had to be a dubious test. It would be amusing if it weren't so sad for the breed.
