Reflections on the 5th International Dog Health Workshop

My First IDHW – Well Worth the Wait! As the CEO of the International Partnership for Dogs (IPFD), I had the privilege of attending my first International Dog Health Workshop (IDHW), co-hosted by the Finnish Kennel Club in Helsinki, this past June. Having been with IPFD for just over 18 months, I consider this workshop a significant milestone – for me personally and for our organization – as it showcased our accomplishments and growth since the previous IDHW in 2019 (co-hosted by The Kennel Clu

IDHW Reflections, Part Three

Previous Entry: Marc’s 6th IDHW Reflections, Part Two Better Puppy Choices Begin Long Before a Puppy Is Purchased One of the hardest conversations at the International Dog Health Workshop in Bologna was also one of the most important. How do we influence the supply and demand for puppies? It is a BIG question. We know there are responsible breeders doing excellent work around the world. They health test. They plan carefully. They raise puppies thoughtfully. They support the families who buy fr
