Don’t judge a book by its cover. Don’t judge a dog by its looks. 31 years later breed-specific legislation is still failing to protect against dog attacks and continues to fail the nation's dogs. It's time for change. #EndBSL #EndBreedSpecificLegislation

Torture breeding in the UK. Micro-exotic ("short boy no legs") being pimped by a breeder in Belfast. Dear Everyone. We urgently need to put the breeding of these dogs (deliberately bred to be freaks) on the UK AW agenda. @ConservativeAWF @RSPCA_official @BritishVets

In research published in the latest issue of @Vet_Record, Toby Allcock and Madeleine Campbell find "substantial" legal and ethical failings with the Dangerous Dogs Act, particularly with Section 1 and breed specific legislation. #EndBSL bvajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ve…

This Thursday will mark three decades since the Dangerous Dogs Act came into force. The editorial in the latest issue of our journal @Vet_Record sums up why breed-specific legislation has been ineffective and why it's time to #EndBSL. bvajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ve…

Awaiting the Middlesex Uni report but of course the Government continues to refuse to acknowledge science anyway so it is unclear what this research could achieve. It is essential to ensure all dogs affected by the DDA are processed fairly and swiftly bvajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

I think we need to talk more about how street dogs are challenging pets and if given up, often end up in the care of already hard pressed rescue centres who then struggle to rehome them because of their difficulties in coping with U.K. life. Few foreign rescues take them back.

Crossbreed Ojo was rescued from the streets of Thailand and ended up in our care when his owner could no longer keep him 😞 He can be a little nervous but is a real character when he comes out of his shell #FindEachOther #AdoptDontShop rspca.org.uk/findapet/detai…

International rehoming will not provide a solution to stray dog population problems and ‘in‐country’ interventions could have more impact, the veterinary director of a leading dog welfare charity has said. Read more at ow.ly/1slx50ExL4r

Dog training in my imagination: helping people have lots of fun with their dogs while teaching them cool stuff that keeps them happy and safe. Dog training in reality: going through lists of things people don’t like about their dogs and explaining that those things are normal.

I was waiting for someone to do one of these! I’ve published four of these 😄 plus: This animal shares similarities with people, as we’re also animals

On the left is Conny - 15 months old and the third generation of a breeding programme designed to produce a more moderate French Bulldog. On the right, a top US show dog. It's amazing what breeders can achieve when they put their mind to it.
