Re: changes the the kennel club breed standards

Thats easier said than done.
Apart from the odd blind judge that as put up a lame dog most have put up the dogs that are not visable sick the problem is most dog problems are on the inside.
And lets not forget there are only less than 300 genetic diseases in dogs unlike humans that have in the region of 3000
If you compare the breed standards you will find few breeds have changed much anyway

Brilliant.  About time, too!  Amazing to see what a little bit of media pressure can get done!

Fingers crossed this is the first of a number of changes to allow judges to include more health aspects and not just appearance when considering the dogs in front of them.
