K9- If it happen in just a handful of cases it still means the pedigree of thousands and thousands of dogs of several generations are not worth the paper they're written on. Given the fact that it is the KC who 'approve' or 'certify' the authenticity of a 'pedigree' dog are they doing enough to ensure dubious breeding practices such as the scenario I described never happens?
My thoughts are that the Kennel Club fraud cases, by high ranking members of the Kennel Club with access to the entire KC data base, any belief in any KC pedigree being authentic, regardless of breed, is sheer wishful thinking “I want to believe so I will believe”. But with that state of affairs going on for an unknown number of years, it would not be thousands, it’s perfectly reasonable to think in terms of hundreds of thousands of worthless Kennel Club pedigrees as a direct result of the Kennel Club internal forgery team.
That is, the people the fraud squad had enough evidence on to get a convictions, it cannot exclude the possibility that more were involved and the fraud squad did not bring charges due to lack of evidence, and once the members of the team were arrested that at least stopped the racket for a while. But I think in terms that every Kennel Club pedigree in UK is open to question and is suspect, every one.
It could have been going for many years and how many puppy farms were involved? it is a valid line of though that because puppy farms are 100% purely commercial buisnesses they would pay higher money and order more bent pedigrees, no, the Kennel Club I cannot accept any pedigree as clean.
Another part of that is how long have the police been trying to get rid of institutional racism? a long time and with such high stakes so easily available is really reasonable to presume that that one case got rid of institutionalised corruption? my thoughts are no, more secure measures would be learned to succeed without detection.
There is always one inherent element when corruption is involved and that element is lying in some form is present in many areas of those who are involved in corrupt practice. Lying is not one thing, lying by innuendo is probably the most common form of lying, the more obvious is the direct lie “Black is not black it is white” type, also deliberately covering up significant things (could be anything(s) to portray something opposite, misleading by ommission. There are an abundance of evidence of all these factors by the Kennel Club and this suggests lies are normal within that institution.
