| Quote: | As an owner/ breeder what would you do ? Attend FCI shows where CACIB's are given to every breed or slog around the UK for little return.I have 4 dogs in the kennel all with numerous BOB GLP, NSC and BI, all with field trial awards too.I think this breed has earned some recognition but because numbers are small CC status is decades away. Is it quantity or quality which makes a breed in the UK ?

Don't wish for this, Langhaar
Brittanys were given CC status in 1997 - 15 years after they came into the country because registrations had reached the desired level. From then on the KC has rapidly increased the number of CCs available against the wishes of the Club, and now we have 15 sets. To my mind all it has done is produce 'cheap' champions. It is not always the case that quality is good, and in our case sub quality has been made up because of quantity of puppies bred. I have had 4 litters in 25 years( 20 pups) and my stud dogs have siread about the same number again.
No amount of protest to the KC had any effect.
