This is Luna - a pretty collie x girl who is registered on the KC's Activities Register. She is three years old and spayed. This morning, her owner was completely thrown to receive this email from the Kennel Club. Other people have contacted me about this KC mail-out, too.

I honestly don't know how I feel about this.
Is it inappropriate pimping in a country where several thousand strays/unwanted dogs dogs are PTS every year?
Or is the KC is simply doing the right thing in trying to educate the pet or casual breeder before they willy-nilly breed their dogs? As it happens, I think well-educated pet breeders have much to offer and I don't think that breeding should be the sole preserve of show breeders.
Over to you...
