By Ann Milligan in Welfare and Health

https://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/health-and-dog-care/health/breed-health-co-ordinators/breed-health-improvement-strategy-toolkit/
NOTE: The downloadable PDF available here is an ARCHIVED document.
The Kennel Club
BREED HEALTH IMPROVEMENT STRATEGY: A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE
"This collection of tool kits is a resource intended to help Breed Health Coordinators maintain, develop and promote the health of their breed.. The Kennel Club recognise that Breed Health Coordinators are enthusiastic and motivated about canine health, but may not have the specialist
knowledge or tools required to carry out some tasks. We hope these tool kits will be a good resource for current Breed Health Coordinators, and help individuals, who are new to the role,make a positive start.
By using these tool kits, Breed Health Coordinators can expect to:
• Accelerate the pace of improvement and depth of understanding of the health of their breed
• Develop a step-by-step approach for creating a health plan
• Implement a health survey to collect health information and to monitor progress
The initial tool kit is divided into two sections, a Health Strategy Guide and a Breed Health Survey Toolkit."

The Kennel Club - Breed Specific DNA Tests - versions
By Ann Milligan in Welfare and Health
The use of DNA tests to manage dog health in populations of purebred dog breeds is constantly changing; new tests for mutations and breed specific tests are being introduced at a rapid pace.
The Kennel Club recognises DNA tests and schemes in conjunction with breed clubs and laboratories, some of which are recorded by the Kennel Club on the registration database and are available to view via the online tool Health Test Results Finder.
PLEASE NOTE: The files available here as downloads are ARCHIVED content that displays the DNA tests available for each breed along with an indication as to whether the test is part of the Assured Breeder Scheme (recommended or required) and whether it is recorded on the Kennel Club registration database. DNA tests are not yet available for every breed.
Please see current (2020) information including the KC's coverage of DNA tests at...

Canine Welfare - The Human Element - Human Behaviour Change for Animals - Tamzin Furtado
By Ann Milligan in 4th IDHW
Tamzin Furtado's presentation from the 4th International Dog Health Workshop considers how human behaviours affect welfare.
"There are good reasons why we should better understand human behaviour:
It’s the root cause of most welfare issues– people doing, or not doing, certain care, management or training practices. It can help campaigns and work with clients (vets, trainers) to improve compliance, rapport and efficiency. We are used to considering animal behaviour, what about the human animal?"
