Dog Show Contreversy [I meant to post this over the weekend but I was sick, sorry]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/west_midlands/7931691.stm

After reading this article I was glad to see that this situation was finally coming to light. I have heard of such breeding malpractices with high class show dogs before but never have I seen it properly publicized. I think it is ridiculous that people in-breed dogs to enhance desirable traits to the detriment of each individual dog. It's not healthy and disgusting that people would do that for profit. Not only this, but breeders often breed to exaggerate a typical characteristic of a breed, like they do with horses, resulting often times in an unhealthy animal (think pugs who have been bred over the years to have increasingly 'squashed' faces with the result that many of them have breathing difficulties). I was also glad to read in the article that the RSPCA, Pedigree and BBC stopped supporting the Crufts Dog Show after the expose was released on the unhealthy breeding practices behind the scenes.
Having said this, I wish the article had gone more into depth about the story behind the charges and had given examples for people who might not have had prior knowledge pre-reading the article. I knew what the author was talking about but other people may not have had an idea of what breeding problems there are in the world of show dogs. I think this is an important topic and the article did not quite do it justice. I realize that the contreversy wasn't the only point of the article but the author mentioned it in the header and really should have given a more detailed explanation of the contreversy.
