Breeders of a group of breeds of brachycephalus today are faced with the fact of the destruction of their favorite breeds. The offensive on the breeds has been going on for several years, gradually destroying the pedigree features step by step with changes in the standards introduced by the FCI under the influence of the "health advocates" of dogs. The latest news came from the Netherlands and they affect the entire group of brachycephalic breeds and other small breeds. Requirements for immediate changes in the structure of the head, elongation of the muzzle, weight restrictions for all breeds (the argument that dogs weighing less than 5 kg cannot live normally, they have health problems) and a number of other requirements. In case of breeding dogs in compliance with traditional pedigree requirements, large fines have been introduced. But the reaction to protect dog breeds from the FCI to such actions of the “defenders”, as usual, is not and most likely will not be, but as always there will be agreement with their actions and there will be yet another disastrous change in the standards for the breeds.
To date, much has been voiced in defense of the breed characteristics signs of Japanese chin. It was voiced in the comments on the standards of breed clubs of some countries, on private pages in the FB, on nursery sites, but there is not a single official serious statement from breed clubs to their higher official cynological organizations. There is no proper resistance of the official cynological organizations of the countries on unacceptable miscalculations that have already been made to the breed standard, under the pressure of the "health advocates" of dogs. The silence of the clubs and higher cynological organizations is connivance on the offensive on the breed and makes these cynological organizations accomplices in the destructive process.
The lack of resistance to imperfect standards on the part of breeders, the silence of cynological organizations on the amendments to the standards of the brachycephalus breed group, led to a new active attack on cynology. So far this offensive has been aggressive in the Netherlands. But in this country, the war of the "defenders" against the pedigree dog breeding will not end, they need the whole world. All actions of the "defenders" have as their goal the complete destruction of the pedigree dog breeding in the world. The changes and requirements introduced in the Netherlands, under the threat of fines, the speedy compliance with these changes, simply destroy this entire group of brachycephalic breeds. And the FCI is silent again. As can be assumed, judging by the previous actions of the FCI, the FCI will again join the requirements of the "health fighters" of the dogs. One should be prepared for changes similar to the Netherlands in the FCI standards, which will quite predictably appear there in the standards. So the FCI has done this before.
At the same time, we see only the tip of the so-called “Iceberg”, which is masked by the slogan “protecting the health” of dogs, we see the result of lobbying for such actions, but the true motivation for these actions is hidden from society. The financial flows that support such destructive actions are hidden from the cynological community.
Yes, many are worried and outraged by the events that threaten the extinction of many, many dog breeds. There are reasons for concern, namely, after such attacks by the “health advocates” of dogs, changes were made to the standards for a number of breeds in the FCI and not for the better for the breeds. What happened in the FCI standards last time, in connection with the latest events in the Netherlands, we can confidently say what will happen and in this case, another murderous changes to the FCI standards will be made.
What is the meaning of the existence of international cynological organizations, wherefore they created? To collect money from breeders and arrange a carefree life for officials? Are these organizations necessary in the light of what is happening in cynology?
The time is ripe for the complete destruction of many breeds. We have already missed the beginning of this offensive. Time does not wait. After the destruction of the breed will be almost impossible to recover. And do not flatter yourself and think that this process will not affect you from the fact that you are in another country or you have a different breed, this epidemic of the destruction of dog breeds will affect everyone in the very shortest possible time. Do not think that it can stretch for a long time. This misfortune is already here, it is devouring breeds. What can be done in this situation, than to protect the breeds from official officials from cynology? It is urgent to decide and decide, it is obvious that the world community of breeders will have to independently without official organizations that are not able to effectively carry out their functions.
