| Introduction | I grew up with pedigree dogs - English Setters, Great Danes, Labradors and, most recently, Flatcoated Retrievers. I still own a working Flatcoat, who turns a haughty nose up at the assorted mutts with whom she now shares her home. In 2008, I directed Pedigree Dogs Exposed, a BBC documentary which uncovered the extent of health and welfare problems in pedigree dogs. The film has now been shown in more than 20 countries. Campaigning on this issue has since become a great passion. I also run a small independent rescue rehoming mainly gundog breeds and their crosses, many of them from Ireland where a great many healthy, young dogs are euthanised every year. |
