About the Nordic Kennel Union
Ann Milligan posted a article in More on our Partners and Collaborators
June 2017 - the Nordic Kennel Union website debuts! - site content is available in English - For more than 60 years, the Nordic Kennel Union has been the unified voice of the Nordic countries in the dog world. NKU members share a passion for animal welfare and dog health which is reflected in common strategies to secure future generations of healthy and sound dogs through responsible and sustainable breeding. Health is one of the most important aspects of dog breeding and a central area for Nordic cooperation. NOTE from IPFD CEO Brenda Bonnett: Congratulations - and thank you - to all the NKU members - and especially our IPFD Partners the kennel clubs of Sweden, Finland and Norway. Individually these clubs are amazing in terms of the scope of their efforts and their historical and ongoing commitment to the health and welfare of dogs. Their willingness to share with individual dog breeders and other clubs - through DogWellNet.com and other venues - makes them great role models and leaders in the dog world.

NKK’s Ethical Guidelines for Keeping and Training Dogs
Ann Milligan posted a article in Cynological Org. | Ethics | Breeding
"Dogs have been kept as working and companion animals for thousands of years. Few other animals are as fundamentally adapted to living with humans as the domestic dog. Today, dogs are kept in Norway for many reasons. Many family and recreational dogs are kept primarily for their companionship, and thus play an important role in the lives of both children and adults. Other dogs are primarily kept for utility purposes, such as hunting and service dogs, which are of great benefit to society. NKK is confident that most dog owners in Norway keep and treat their dogs properly. All dogs need regular mental stimulation through various forms of training and activation, as well as the opportunity for natural behaviour, such as being able to run freely. However, it is necessary to be considerate and flexible to ensure that both dog and owner can enjoy their companionship without disturbing their surroundings." -
