Seen the post by Efy whatsit about registering their dog before it gets into heat.

LOL! Sounds like KC may be something thats reffered to within the world of Pedigree?.....hard to say.....but I guess it does say Keratoconus Group every where on this site!.
KC is about facing the challenges it creates rather than accepting the problems it generates -

I took the risk of PM'ing them with the Kennel Club web site, never heardof it reffered to as KC before, not even when I wash showing my two rough Collies.

Had to change the subject title after one of the girls at work thought the ladies here may take offence :D :twisted:

I posted a Kennel club link to her.

Obvious mistake. She seems to have googled KC and found us. What a disappointment! :D

Couldn't say, but if they did I don't think that the Kennel Club would want them to be buidling it into the configuration of their breed.

At one of my lens fittings the optom was explaining to the visiting Russian optom how the Roase K lens came about from New Zealand.

All due to the large number of sheep with KC and so to maintain credibility with tourists they looked at a way of fitting sheep with contact lenses instead of the bulk glasses that kept getting cought n the undergrowth!

Was not until near the end of the optoms story that the Russian optom realised she was being wound up!

That story would make a good television documentary for broadcast on the day after March 31 :D
