  • The Kennel Club Breed Health Improvement Strategy: a Step-By-Step Guide Improvement Strategy Improvement
    BREED HEALTH THE KENNEL CLUB BREED HEALTH IMPROVEMENT STRATEGY: A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE IMPROVEMENT STRATEGY WWW.THEKENNELCLUB.ORG.UK/DOGHEALTH BREED HEALTH IMPROVEMENT STRATEGY: A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE 2 Welcome WELCOME TO YOUR HEALTH IMPROVEMENT STRATEGY TOOLKIT This collection of toolkits 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 toolkits 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 toolkits, 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 Health Strategy Guide is a practical approach to developing, assessing, and monitoring a health plan specific to your breed. Every breed can benefit from a Health Improvement Strategy as a way to prevent health issues from developing, tackle a problem if it does arise, and assess the good practices already being undertaken. The Breed Health Survey Toolkit is a step by step guide to developing the right surveys for your breed. By carrying out good health surveys, you will be able to provide the evidence of how healthy your breed is and which areas, if any, require improvement.

LEGISLATIVE NEWS There are many states including Connecticut, Texas and Hawaii that are working on passing laws regarding the misuse of service dogs. Connecticut is holding hearings on the following bill - Connecticut House Bill 5566: • Would make it an infraction for an individual to knowingly represent, either expressly or impliedly, that a dog is a service animal or being trained as a service animal, for the purpose of obtaining any rights or privileges afforded to an individual with a disability, unless such dog is a service animal or being trained to be a service animal. Infractions in Connecticut may result in a non-criminal fine. American Kennel Club is backing this legislation and has published the following Canine Legislation Position Statement MISUSE OF SERVICE DOGS Service dogs are defined as those that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities.

  • MPDBA Newsletter Created By: Jill Crisp June 2021
    MPDBA Newsletter Created by: Jill Crisp June 2021 NEXT MEETING June 17, 2021 June 2021 greetings from your president. Please note Krista’s email regarding State Fair benching & demo assignments, and note that there are still openings. We now get over 12,000 per day people visiting our new Pet Pavilion. That is because of our beautiful dogs and wonderful people and presentations, but also because of all the new development and new vendors at the north end of the Fairgrounds. That, of course, means that we need more people to help get information out about purebred dogs. If you can bench or you can provide a demo, please contact Krista Peterson, [email protected] or contact me. The State Fair Committee will be sending information out about helping out at the info desk. It’s great fun answering the varied questions we get at the info desk and referring folks to the resources they need. Looking forward to working with you at the Fair. John Armour [email protected] State Fair is only 2-1/2 months away Many of you have responded to my email regarding the 2021 State Fair and there are some who have not responded. We have about 80% of the double benches booked and quite a few single benches left to book yet. If you are interested in benching, please let me know. The State Fair is asking for the schedule on or before June 21st. Thank you for all of you who have already booked and to those who plan to help out this year.
