In my experience, and the experience of other professionals, there are no holds barred; when the inner sanctum of the Breed Clubs comes out to play. They play dirty, really dirty, including written threats, anonymous and otherwise, promulgating malicious rumours and making coruscating comments about people on social media platforms. As a result, the Breed Bodies fear is losing control, especially when sharing health data and making it compulsory for all to test.

I am therefore not surprised the Mole/s want to remain anonymous. However, you need to be strong to take what they, the Breed Bodies, dish out and the lengths they go to to try and ruin you. Read and reach your own decisions on what the Mole/s posts. However, I aim to ensure that we continue with the health of our breed first and foremost. From what the Mole/s are saying, and I also know this as a fact, the Breed Bodies are preventing health testing from being part of the Kennel Club compulsory requirements, along with other tests which should also be mandatory.

Supporting the Kennel Club and making health checks compulsory would prevent breeders who need to learn the rules from registering their litters and prevent the Breed Bodies from circumventing the rules to suit their needs.

The Mole/s, by the look of it, have had enough of the inner machinations and control of the Irish Wolfhound Club. So they decided to share their knowledge of the events of the inner sanctum. I know many of you are keen advocates of Irish Wolfhound health matters, and our anonymous whistleblower in the breed has a lot of first-hand information. So we must take this as an opportunity and the insights we are being given privy to for a change, moving forward and ensuring we safeguard our breed's health.
