New Kennel Club Regulations

[*Lassie*]

all dog owners and breeders will be required to permanently identify their dogs, via microchip or tattoo, from January 2010, in order to participate in the Kennel Club/British Veterinary Association health schemes for eye disease and hip and elbow dysplasia. These schemes have been in place for many years and give dog owners in relevant breeds the opportunity to test for a number of common disorders; this move is introduced, at the express request of the veterinary profession, to ensure the fairness and accuracy of the results of the schemes.

And –
Other changes include the preclusion of excessive weight in Labradors

No more fat labs in the show ring :ok:

About time that the UK caught up with the rest of the world to ensure the dog on the table being x rayed is the dog it is supposed to be! :agree:
