this was supposed to be published in early October - has anyone seen it or are we still waiting ?

Still waiting checked out their website the other day and nothing, am sure the Press will have it all over the place once its out.

Did anyone actually get to give evidence face to face as a Show breeder or was it just the big guns like R_ _ _A?  Who just so happen to provide their Secretariate in the form of one of their Polictical Officers, don't ya just love democracy eh, the guys who want to put us out of our hobby provide funding and admin to the very ministers who are investigating pedigree dogs?

I didn't reply due to the above.

Yes must admit I thought that was a big con too. I did submit evidence though as I felt it was important although I think we were shouting in the wind to be honest. The guy heading up the APGAW committee did tell me he used to breed and show GSD. I got on quite well with Marisa who was doing the admin as well and she did keep me updated.

There was talk of a leak to the papers but at Our Dogs we won't publish anything untill the official report is out.
