Three new working dog breeds
Kennel Club have reclassified three gundogs to working

Three gundog breeds - the Kooikerhonje, Lagotto Romagnolo and Spanish Water Dog - will be reclassified to working from 2014, say the Kennel Club (KC).

The reclassification was made when breed clubs proposed working tests for their dogs, which made it obvious that this was not the work expected of a gundog.

The gundog judges have also been attending working events in order to approve the breeds at CC level. Though non have yet been awarded CCs, the KC have considered that this could happen in the future as a basis for their decision.

Caroline Kisko, a spokesperson for the KC, said: 'We are aware that this decision has caused some consternation within the three breeds and we will listen to individual appeals from the respective breed clubs should they feel that they wish to make one.'

It is expected that the Spanish Water Dog club are to appeal the KC's decision.

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
