on Breeders to Safeguard Health of Pedigree Dogs
KENNEL CLUB TO CLAMP DOWN ON BREEDERS TO SAFEGUARD HEALTH OF PEDIGREE DOGS
The Kennel Club is launching a complete review of every pedigree dog breed
in the UK in a move that will have far-reaching benefits for the health of
many breeds. It has also called on the government to give it the statutory
powers to clamp down on breeders who fail to make a dog's health their top
priority.
A breed health plan will be coordinated for each of the UK 's 209
pedigree breeds and will benefit from the extensive research that has been funded
by the Kennel Club in conjunction with renowned veterinary research centres
over the past 40+ years. This will include updated breed standards to
ensure that no dog is bred for features that might prevent it from seeing,
walking and breathing freely. Judges will be fully briefed on the new
breed standards so that only the healthiest dogs
are rewarded in the show ring.
The Kennel Club is releasing the first of
these new breed standards today,
for the Pekingese, and has taken a tough line
with the breed following
extensive and abortive consultations. This is
set to radically improve the
health of the Pekingese which for nearly a
hundred years was bred to have
a flat face; a feature which can lead to
breathing problems; under the new
health plan the breed will be required to
have a defined muzzle.
The breed health plans , which are scheduled
to be completed by early next
year, will also incorporate the results of a
thorough, ongoing analysis of
the health status and genetic diversity of
each breed, drawing on results
from the world's largest dog health survey,
conducted by the Animal Health
Trust and funded by the Kennel Club
Charitable Trust in 2004. This will
ensure that breeders and buyers are aware of
the health tests that should
be carried out for each breed. The final part of
the plans will look at ways
breeders can expand the gene pool of the breed.
In order to ensure that the plans are
effective and reach all dogs, the
Kennel Club has called on the government to
give it statutory powers to make
its established Accredited Breeder Scheme
compulsory throughout the country.
If successful, this would mean that all breeders
who are not part of the
scheme and who have not officially confirmed
their willingness to follow
the health standards set by the Kennel Club would
be unable to produce or sell
puppies within the law.
Additionally, breed clubs are n ow required
to adopt the Kennel Club's Code
of Ethics, to ensure that their practices
fall in line with Kennel Club
policy for putting the health and welfare of
puppies first. This includes
a clause that explicitly forbids the compulsory
culling of healthy puppies.
To complement these steps the Kennel Club is
developing plans for a new
Canine Genetics Centre. This will be run in
conjunction with the Animal
Health Trust, confirming the Kennel Club's
commitment to research into
inherited diseases and the provision of DNA testing
programmes which
identify the genes underlying inherited
health problems.
Caroline Kisko, Kennel Club Secretary, said:
"The groundswell of public
attention on the very important matters
surrounding dog breeding is a
welcomed momentum that will enable us to
drive through, with added urgency,
new and extended initiatives that will help
to safeguard the health of our
pedigree dogs. We have been listening and
agree with the general public's
view that more needs to be done.
"Steps such as our breed health plans
will enable us to ensure that the
health of every dog is the number one
priority and we are taking a tougher
line with breed clubs by adjusting those
breed standards that fail to
promote good health. By asking the government
for statutory powers we will
be able to take a tougher line with all
breeders and breed clubs that fail
to abide by our high standards. This in turn
will enable us to extend the
reach of our Accredited Breeder Scheme, which
is the quality control
mechanism within our registration process, so
that all dogs will be bred by
people who abide by our stringent rules and
regulations for the breeding
of healthy, happy dogs.
"We have been working hard in recent
years to identify and address health
problems that exist in dogs, and we are
taking advantage of the
opportunities that advances in science have
given us to improve dog health.
We look forward to continuing our work with
various institutions and
organisations that share the same objective:
to protect the health and
welfare of all dogs."

Po sierpniowej emisji przez BBC dokumentu " Pedigree Dogs Exposed" pokazującym choroby i cierpienia hodowanych ras psów oraz burzliwej dyskusji, która się póżniej wywiązała dzisiaj być może nastąpił moment przełomowy dla hodowli psów w GB.
Oto oświadczenie wydane dzisiaj, (właściwie wczoraj) przez Kennel Club w UK.
W skrócie: Kennel Club nakłada na hodowców obowiązek zagwarantowania zdrowia psom hodowanych ras. Wzywa rząd by nadał klubowi prawo wpływania na hodowców, dla których zdrowie psów nie jest priorytetem hodowlanym. W ciągu najbliższego roku będą opracowane plany polepszenia zdrowia dla każdej z 209 ras hodowanych w GB. Będą nowe standardy ras, bo żaden pies nie może cierpieć dlatego, że ma być kompatybilny z obowiązującym standardem. Kluby ras mają opracować Kodeksy Etyczne zgodne z aktualną polityczną linią Kennel Clubu. Sędziowie mają się w pełni przestawić na nowe standardy i tylko całkowicie zdrowe psy mogą być nagradzane.
Kenel Club realizuje jako pierwszy nowy standard dla pekińczyków, by polepszyć ich zdrowie bo przeszło od 100 lat sa hodowane w celu uzyskania płaskiej mordki.
Widać wyraźne dążenia do zapewnienia jak największej różnorodności genetycznej.
