If you’d like to watch the newly released Pedigree Dogs Exposed: Three Years On by Jemima Harrison here in America, your best option is to purchase the DVD through the Passionate Productions website. NTSC is the version that works in America.
A special edition DVD will also soon be available which includes footage not seen in the final program due to time constraints, if you can wait that long.
Enjoy the documentary, it’s a very brave piece of work.

I’m not a techie genius. Is this as doable on a MAC as on a PC? I love my MAC. I tend to think it would be fine but checking.
I think the instructions here will work:

You should only need steps 1-3 and 7. For the HTTP Proxy, use the same address and port I have in the post.
thank you for showing us yanks how to watch PDE 3 years on. my regular day stopped as i had to watch immediately.
It’s a very interesting documentary, i wonder how many generations of dogs will have to suffer before any major changes will be made.
She really named names this time.
I was really glad that she clearly divided the two problems with purebred dogs into two categories:
1. Gene loss and inbreeding.
2. Breeding for extreme conformation.
1. Affects just about every purebred dog to some extent, even if they look like wolves.
2. Affects fewer breeds, but it is so painfully obvious to anyone that these people are insane.
Let’s give Dr. Bruce Cattanach props for trying to stop the boxer breeders from committing breed suicide in the UK.
It’s really sad, though, that the Cavaliers are essentially screwed.

Yes, I must agree that props are necessary for Dr. Cattanach. Too bad the breed clubs want nothing to do with him. =/

I went the torrent route. =b
I tried a few proxy servers but couldn’t seem to manage it. I even looked for live streams! LOL
I gave up and eventually downloaded it.
Such a great followup.

I watch a four and a half minute video yesterday. It took forty minutes to load completely.
I’ll wait to watch this on PBS like I did the last one.

YouTube videos have been pulled 🙁
When? I just watched the whole thing on YT two nights ago!
I FOUND IT ON YOUTUBE! If you type in “Pedigree Dogs Exposed All Movies” they give both the original doc, and the “three years” follow up.
I wish they had not spent so much of it re-running old footage in the follow up show. I know they wanted to give recaps for people who had not seen the original, but I think it was a bit too much.
All in all, pretty good.
There is another way to see it.
Jose Cruz of the Chatham Hill Kennels has uploaded the video onto the RDW blog readers group on Facebook.
You can access it here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/106829992691087/?notif_t=group_r2j
You need to join the group to watch it. It’s a closed group, but I will allow you in.

Who is “passionate productions”, and why have they taken down the documentary on youtube?
Passionate Productions is the team that created Pedigree Dogs Exposed and the sequel. http://www.passionateproductions.co.uk/ Now, “why” indeed. Copyright infringement only applies to those who are making a profit off copyrighted material, but depending on where you live and such, there are laws about sharing. So, basically, they removed it because it -might- have been against the law.
Okay I did not know there was a sequel. Now I want to get into that closed group, I think.
What is the sequel called?
The main reason I have it closed is for privacy purposes, but if you ask to join, I’ll let you in.

LOL! I feel like Bart Simpson when he took over Comic Book Guy’s Store and showed pirated movies in the back room.

I think my request got sent but it’s hard to tell. My work computer was going very slow.
Bleah!

I am an experienced torrenter, and I recommend using PeerBlock instead of a proxy. I hate proxies. Some say PeerBlock doesn’t work, but when I first started torrenting, I got caught, interenet shut off, and all that good stuff. Downloaded Peer Guardian, used that for maybe two years, and then when they went down, moved onto PeerBlock, and have used it ever since. Have never had my internet shut off since then either.

Oh, and thanks for sharing. I’ve been wanting to see this. 😉
That’s Jemima’s production company.
Retrieverman recently posted..Pleistocene coyotes were larger than modern ones
Too bad, i would have thought that it was in the company’s interest to spred this information even outside of the UK 😉
I don’t think they are doing it to keep people from seeing it. Part of the copyright process is that you have to defend your work against potential theft or else you basically lose your rights to defend it entirely. If they didn’t keep it off of youtube (where they likely lose no money) they would have a lot of trouble trying to keep any other TV station from just stealing it and airing it.
It’s really not done out of malice.
That’s pretty much what I think is going on.
Right now, the original documentary is on fully loaded onto Youtube on several channels, but when it first came out, it wouldn’t be up for a full day.

If she asks me to take it off my FB group, I gladly will

You might be thinking of trademark erosion. I don’t think copyright can be eroded this way.
I can think of a way they can lose money. The more people there are who have seen it, the less likely it will be picked up by international broadcasters. But of course having people see and discuss it acts as an advertisement, which can increase interest.
I downloaded it on Graboid it was quite easy & got to watch it all in 1 go. I just joined their site then looked for it & downloaded.
I thought it was rather well done, left me wondering how that Boxer breeder will deal with the backlash. Hopefully she gets her dogs tested but I wont hold my breath considering the litters she has breed lately.
Sam I installed Graboid but when I tried to enter a Username and PWD it was taking forever to complete. The logo kept spinning, you might say. After 15 minutes I had to halt the whole thing. Should it take that long to establish login info?
No it only toke a few minutes to starts but it did take about 8 minutes to download the film.
Hmmm. Then clearly I was having a problem. Frustrating.
The Pekingese photo at the top, is that the dog that won Westminster in NYC this year, less than a month ago?
Why would a show choose a Peke for BIS when it was going to be on tv, are they trying to defy reason or what?
If dog shows are fixed, and I think there’s plenty of evidence to suggest that they are, I think the Westminster Kennel Club sent the message that they don’t care at all about extreme deformity as every dog they put up was a textbook example of the mess purebred dogs are in.
I know that often, people ‘call’ which dog is going to win Westminster fairly accurately. I remember clearly this happening with Uno the Beagle (which was the last time I watched the show). I remember being suspicious that a dog that ended up winning got so much attention earlier on in the tv program.
That Italian judge last year sort of screwed the peke over last year. He got the Uno treatment, and the judge picked the Scottish deerhound over the peke.
No Italian judge this time.

Well there’s a reason they use the word “upset” at these things, right?
I turned it off halfway through the Hound group because all the dogs were so fat. Like, jiggling around the ring. It was gross.

I thought the same about some of the TM’s, they where far from fit examplesof the breed. I noticed many breeds whre very over weight actually.
We’re issuing take-down notices on YouTube for now simply because we are massively overspent on the film and would like to try and recoup what we can via DVD sales.
We were original commissioned to do a 10-minute update – ie. keep 50 minutes of old material and add 10 mins of new and the budget reflected that. We fought to do the reverse ie make the update really count and it ended up with well over 40 minutes of new material as a result, produced on a quarter of the budget of the original film. The demands in naming individual breeders have also been very costly, so I hope you’ll forgive us for issuing take-down notices for now.
Scottie, I don’t think we ever did stop the original film being put on YouTube. We covered our costs on that one and I was always really keen for as many people as possible to see it.
The DVD is on sale via passionateproductions.co.uk/shop.htm (although would advise waiting for a few weeks as we’re building a new one with some DVD extras – essentially sequences we didn’t have room for).
Jemima
We’re lucky then to have gotten as much extra footage as we did. I look for ward to seeing what didn’t make the air waves.
Post updated to reflect where people can see the show now. Thanks Jemima.
I’m personally going to buy a copy even though I have seen much of it online already as I feel any of us who have a few dollars to spare should help them recoup costs to help support the whole movement in general.
Jemina I really thought it was even better then the first although I can’t wait to see the GSD material as well. Thanks for all the work you have put into this.
