 It was shown that after the interview, the Kennel Club wrote to the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club condemning the practice and requested that the club review their code of ethics.The breed club said that the Kennel Club knew about the code of ethics, as they have to be ratified by the Kennel Club every year.Apart from Ridgebacks, other examples of culling for cosmetic reasons that were mentioned included Great Danes with nonstandard markings, white German Shepherds, and white Boxers, although it was mentioned that culling by slaughter is not as common as before, as more breeders choose to neuter individuals who do not meet breed standards (there is high and lucrative demand for pure-bred dogs as neutered pets at a lower cost than breedable show specimens).
