EXCERPTS... Purpose of this document To propose a set of definitions and terminology that can be used for developing frameworks for breed improvement To summarise the currently available frameworks that breeds can use to plan for improvement There are examples of Breed-specific Breeding Strategy documents (e.g. RAS, JTO) which provide good starting templates for others to use. FKC Breeding Strategy TEMPLATE for Breeds with Large Populations- The 3rd International Dog Health Workshop held in Paris in April of 2017 included 140 participants from 23 countries and was structured around six important issues facing those who work to improve dog health. The themes covered in Paris included individualized breed-specific strategies for health and breeding, extreme conformations, education and communication in relation to antimicrobial resistance, behavior and welfare, genetic testing and population-based evidence. A number of exciting actions were agreed during the meeting. A working group was formed to create tools to help breed clubs accelerate the implementation of breed-health strategies. Here we will present work products created by the the Breeding Strategies working group. The content of the Breed-specific Breeding Strategies - 2017 IDHW follow-up - Version 5 - September 2018.pptx is based on inputs from:
