I don't understand why pet toys aren't tested for safety and toxicity before they're shipped to store. Thanks for helping to spread the word. Our parents have to inspect every toy they buy. Even if this ball has been recalled, we now know that any ball with one hole is a danger.<BR/><BR/>About the breeders. There are people out there who are not responsible breeders and are turning out generations of sick and deformed dogs. That is so cruel. Buying a purebred dog takes lots of research. Unfortunatley, lots of people don't check out the breeder before they purchase their pet. If we all did thorough checks, the irresponsible breeders would eventually be weeded out and disappear. A good breeder will gladly let you check him/her out and will be happy to know that you are a responsible pet owner. <BR/><BR/>The good news is there are very many good breeders who respect the laws of nature and whose first consideration is adding dogs in excellent form and health to the lineage. But this should be a lesson to anyone who is thinking of buying a purebred: do your homework.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for an excellent post, Dewey.<BR/><BR/>xox<BR/>ChefChefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07184934332803079768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4770608273851549615.post-20343195594255732812008-08-22T23:45:00.000-04:002008-08-22T23:45:00.000-04:00This stuff is vewy hawd to watch , but vewy impowt...This stuff is vewy hawd to watch , but vewy impowtant..thank you fow bwinging it to ouw attention..I hope it helps change things!<BR/><BR/>btw, Dewey, If you and Asta Mawie wewe hewe you would havea ahooge fanclub..hoomans seem to nutso fow wiwes, and thewe awe not so many awound hewe<BR/>smoochie kisses<BR/>ASTA<BR/>Toby would get the attention too of couwse!Astahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07441676450108596063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4770608273851549615.post-66898513572815118322008-08-22T22:39:00.000-04:002008-08-22T22:39:00.000-04:00I read Chai's story.

Eric was going to blog about in hope that it might be shown on a channel over your side of the pond. Well done, you got there first.<BR/> <BR/>The programme was upsetting, shocking and worrying. Eric was whimpering and crying at one point when he heard those poor dogs in distress. Me too. But it is worth watching,the BBC are not a channel who raise issues without extensive research or cause for concern. <BR/><BR/>On the BBC web site there is an IPlayer where you can see the last 7 days programmes. You may be able to use that to watch rather than Youtube? Not sure but worth a quick check as much quicker if you can.<BR/><BR/>http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/. Put Pedigree Dogs into the search box to take you to the programme.<BR/><BR/>There is a reply from the Kennel Club here http://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/item/1995/23/5/3 <BR/><BR/>There are also several articles on the BBC website debating this issue after the programme both from vets and the Kennel Club. If you visit the web site www.bbc.co.uk you will be able to read them. <BR/><BR/>Let's hope the guilty parties come to their senses now it's been highlighted and it's not too late.<BR/><BR/>Eric and his MomErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11534829354441811744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4770608273851549615.post-51685171737061293142008-08-22T05:53:00.000-04:002008-08-22T05:53:00.000-04:00Hi Dewey,Tell your Gram that she's wonderful!

These are some very important issues and dogs n dog-owners need to discuss them; and take them very seriously.<BR/><BR/>Mercury and Cameo bought a very expensive toy for me (It looked like a tire - I'll see if I can get a picture for you) Now, this toy was made of hard plastic, and I tried to chew it up. These two don't leave me alone when they get me any new toy, so I was saved in the nick of time or I would've choked on one of the sharp plastic pieces! They took the toy away and I never saw it again.<BR/><BR/>About those dogs n dog breeders...your know my point of view - I think we should discourage in-breeding...after all when humans themselves avoid it, why should dogs be forced to in-breed!<BR/><BR/>I guess I too have strong views on this - just like your Gram! (Mercury's a big fan of your Gram:))<BR/><BR/>Licks n Wags,<BR/>OorviOorvihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00422290209025695432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4770608273851549615.post-54067259167594199462008-08-22T05:37:00.000-04:002008-08-22T05:37:00.000-04:00G'day Dewey & GramThanks for this excellen...G'day Dewey & Gram<BR/>Thanks for this excellent post. We had no idea about this dangerous toy. Thankfully we don't have this brand of ball or any ball like it for that matter. We're going to stick to reputable brands like Kong.<BR/>We haven't seen the BBC program as yet but will look out for it. We have had snippets of the program on our A Current Affair show though but we really need to watch the whole show.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again<BR/>Noah Willow Tess & LucyNoah the Airedalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01402016611300109288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4770608273851549615.post-90209734411797231202008-08-22T00:03:00.000-04:002008-08-22T00:03:00.000-04:00Ahhh.. that's scary.
