Kennel Club publish report
The Kennel Club’s Dog Health Group has recently published its second annual report in which its actions of the last year have been highlighted - the introduction of veterinary assessments of General and Group Championship Show Best of Breed winners in the high profile breeds, a number of regulation amendments such as reducing the number of litters registered to one bitch from six to four, the ban on the registering of a third litter to a dog that has previously had two caesareans and the £250,000 donated by the Kennel Club Charitable Trust for health research.
The report also details a scheme launched jointly with the British Veterinary Association (BVA) for assessment of MRI scans and data collection after consulting with representatives of the breeds affected by Chiari-like Malformation/Syringomyelia. The Kennel Club has stated that results will be placed on the health test results finder of the Kennel Club website once there is a substantial amount of data.
The Dog Health Group annual report will be available to read online shortly via the Kennel Club website.
FIVP has shared a survey, inviting those working in independent practice to share their views on the CMA's proposed remedies.
