Surely this should be re-titled to "what do BAD dog breeders want from their vets"?

INDEED!!!!!!!!!!

True! However yet again no distinction is made between good and bad breeders, which is very disappointing, but I suppose not unexpected. It makes me wonder what will be said in a follow up programme? Will the good breeders get a mention this time? Will people like myself who have been running eye testing clinics for the last 28 years get a mention? I suspect not.

So has anyone joined to comment?

Yes I tried several times and the paper would not accept my message at all. I am told the site is moderated and they don't like the message posted they don't allow it to be seen.

I tried to find the vet on Twitter and Facebook but couldn't I'd certainly have asked him about vet charges and respect for clients who do know what they are talking about.

just seems like another "the jemima show" again, the be all and end all of dogs.

What a load of rubbish - so in effect 'theres a conference starting today discussing X'. Jemima Harrison thinks it should be about Y and thinks this is what people say'..

No actual account of what WAS discussed, no clarification as to whether Ms Harrisons predictions are actually accurate..

What a waste of blog space!

I too have tried to join, but my views are obviously not in accordance with the thread either - because my message hasn't appeared!

Snap... Censorship taken to the extreme..

Olive1,
You have made it very plain in your posts that you agree with the comments given in that newspaper by JH.... but I must inform you that the post was not removed....I deleted it because, on consideration I decided that I didn't want to further fuel the Jemima Harrison bandwaggon.

petethevet  On Twitter am a follower, there's nothing about the conference What do Breeders want from Vets lots about TB etc but not the breeders!
