Later in 2013, in November, a friendly meeting between the KC and two members of the General Committee (R. de Santiago and K. Järvinen) was organised, upon invitation of the KC. A meeting is also planned between the FCI Executive Committee and the AKC and CKC at the latter’s respective headquarters in January 2014 to discuss the mutual benefit of increased cooperation for a positive future for both organisations. Passion for purebred dogs is at the heart of both the FCI and Eukanuba and in 2013, both organisations negotiated the continuation of their joint efforts with the renewal of their ‘’Partners in Excellence’’ agreement. This remarkably successful collaboration began in 2006, and among its achievements has been the birth and rise of the Eukanuba World Challenge. A new 3-year ‘’Partners in Excellence’’ agreement is planned to be signed in 2014.

The legislation includes several exemptions which allow the use of a maximum of two dogs for certain hunting activities, including stalking and flushing. The exemptions under the Act can be amended using a statutory instrument with the approval of both Houses. The Conservative Government included a manifesto commitment to repeal the Hunting Act. However, in July 2015 the Government announced that it intended to amend the legislation to remove the limit on the number of dogs, and instead replace it with a requirement that the number of dogs used is appropriate to the terrain and any other relevant circumstance.

  • BRITTANY SPANIEL (Epagneul Breton) 2
    FEDERATION OF CYNOLOGY FOR EUROPE ФЕДЕРАЦИЯ ПО КИНОЛОГИЯ ЗА ЕВР ОПА 05.05.2003/EN FCE-Standard № 7-95 BRITTANY SPANIEL (Epagneul Breton) 2 TRANSLATION: John Miller and Raymond Triquet. ORIGIN: France. DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THE OFFICIAL VALID STANDARD: 25.03.2003. UTILIZATION: Pointing dogs. FCE-CLASSIFICATION : Group 7 Pointing Dogs and Setters. Section 1.2 Continental Pointing Dogs, Spaniel type. With working trial. BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY: Of French origin and more precisely, from the centre of Brittany. At present, in first place numerically among French sporting breeds. Probably one of the oldest of the spaniel type dogs, improved at the beginning of the 20th century by diverse outcrosses and selections. A draft of a breed standard drawn up in Nantes in 1907 was presented and adopted at the first General Assembly held in Loudéac (in former Côtes du Nord department, now Côtes d’Armor), June 7, 1908. This was the first standard of the « Naturally Short-Tailed Brittany Spaniel Club ». GENERAL APPEARANCE: Smallest of the pointing breeds. The Brittany spaniel is a dog with a Continental spaniel-type head (braccoïde in French) and a short or inexistent tail. Built harmoniously on a solid but not weighty frame. The whole is compact and well-knit, without undue heaviness, while staying sufficiently elegant. The dog is vigorous, the look is bright and the expression intelligent. The general aspect is « COBBY » (brachymorphic), full of energy, having conserved in the course of its evolution the short-coupled model sought after and fixed by those having recreated the breed. FCE-St. № 7-95/05.05.2003 3 IMPORTANT PROPORTIONS: • The skull is longer than the muzzle, with a ratio of 3 : 2.
