Just to confirm i am still working on the working tests but it is taking a little while as i need to also give judging guidlines for the early resting

David - Well done for putting the 2 Tier Suggestions forward in today's Our Dogs paper.  I hope you only get positive feedback, unfortunately I guess thats one for the fairies.

Hi Beepy, My MP replied by letter today, his letter says, "Thank you for contacting me about a new 2 tier registration system plan for breeding German Shepherd Dogs and all other KC registered breeds.  I understand the importance of breeding healthy dogs and to stop the unnecessary suffering of many dogs and their owners.

I have contacted the Kennel Club and have informed them of Mr David Payne's proposal and asked them to review the proposal and help solve this issue.  I will contact you again with any further details."

Let's hope the KC get lots of "contact" from lots of MPs about this.

missbeeb: Be sure your correspondence with your MP is very valuable for our proposals and our breeds health. The KC cannot ignore an MP communication. I hope more people do as you have done.  Thank you, David

David - I have forwarded the proposal to our MP, who apparently has been in discussions with the Secretary of Rural Affairs.  I understand there is a reply coming from said secretary and I am looking forward to receiving it.

I have also passed the proposals on to some friends who are in other breeds and they all feel it could be adapted to suit their particular health issues etc.

I TAKE IT,FROM READING LAST WEEKS AND THIS WEEKS DOG PRESS THAT THE GERMAN SHEPHERD BREED COUNCIL AND MEMBER CLUBS HAVE DECIDED WHICH PROPOSALS THEY ARE GOING AHEAD WITH? OR ARE WE JUMPING THE GUN A BIT? LIZ
