It is almost a year since the original programme was shown on TV that ignited the furious debate regarding the proposed changes to our breed standard, and despite the many many meetings held between both by the delegates of the breed council and the representives of the breed council and the KC pointing out which of the proposed changes were acceptable and which weren't, a letter received by the Kennel Club to all existing breed club secretaries arrived dated 3rd September stating that ALL proposed changes would go ahead regardless.
I'm sure that every single person that was involved in the discussions feel as if they've been kicked in the head, especially as the sub committee that was responsible for liasing with the Kennel Club had been given the impression that they were actually being listened to. At no time did anyone just throw their hands in the air and scream "leave my breed standard alone", instead sensible discussion was instigated and every effort was made to work with the KC on, what is essentially, changes to our very long standing history. There isn't another Breed Council meeting until October so I won't hear anything first hand until I attend that meeting, but I'm sure there is a flurry of activity already going on within the sub committee.
