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.

"Following the Swedish Kennel Club (SKK) Symposium on Brachycephalic Dogs in February 2016, the SKK issued a press release describing the background, current and future actions related to brachycephalics. See article and press release on DogWellNet.com. Included in that report was a statement on the breeding of brachycephalic dogs and strategies to improve the health status. It was indicated that actions must be taken with cooperation across many stakeholder groups." Here we provide links to information posted by the Norwegian Kennel Club and The Finnish Pug Club on approaches to and initiatives for management of health and welfare in brachycephalic breeds.

The Norwegian Kennel Club (NKK) has a long tradition promoting healthy dog breeding through education and cooperation with breeders and breed clubs. It is our true belief that this is far more beneficial to the dogs’ health and welfare than excessive rules and restrictions. Our vision is that through this inclusive breeding strategy, based on education, knowledge and respect, we will breed the healthiest dogs in Europe. This document provides an overview of breeding strategies and Ethical rules and regulations for breeding - Code of Ethics. -
Owners must follow the rules and regulations of the Norwegian Kennel Club (NKK) in all dog shows and trials. NKK's ethical guidelines for keeping and training dogs and NKK's anti-doping rules are especially relevant, in addition to the rules and regulations that apply to the specific activity. -
"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." -
