  • Purebred Dog Breeds Into the Twenty-First Century: Achieving Genetic Health for Our Dogs
    Purebred Dog Breeds into the Twenty-First Century: Achieving Genetic Health for Our Dogs BY JEFFREY BRAGG WHAT IS A CANINE BREED? What is a breed? To put the question more precisely, what are the necessary conditions that enable us to say with conviction, "this group of animals constitutes a distinct breed?" In the cynological world, three separate approaches combine to constitute canine breeds. Dogs are distinguished first by ancestry , all of the individuals descending from a particular founder group (and only from that group) being designated as a breed. Next they are distinguished by purpose or utility, some breeds existing for the purpose of hunting particular kinds of game,others for the performance of particular tasks in cooperation with their human masters, while yet others owe their existence simply to humankind's desire for animal companionship. Finally dogs are distinguished by typology , breed standards (whether written or unwritten) being used to describe and to recognize dogs of specific size, physical build, general appearance, shape of head, style of ears and tail, etc., which are said to be of the same breed owing to their similarity in the foregoing respects. The preceding statements are both obvious and known to all breeders and fanciers of the canine species. Nevertheless a correct and full understanding of these simple truisms is vital to the proper functioning of the entire canine fancy and to the health and well being of the animals which are the object of that fancy. It is my purpose in this brief to elucidate the interrelationship of the above three approaches, to demonstrate how distortions and misunderstandings of that interrelationship now threaten the health of all of our dogs and the very existence of the various canine breeds, and to propose reforms which will restore both balanced breed identity and genetic health to CKC breeds.

We are in the midst of unprecedented and uncertain times with the spread of the Covid-19 virus. Taking all this into consideration, the Board has decided to not require clubs to hold an ASFA field trial in 2020 in order to maintain their status with the ASFA.

  • What Makes It a Miniature Bull Terrier?
    What makes it a Miniature Bull Terrier? By Tracey Butchart After reading the Breed Standard for the Bull Terrier and the Miniature Bull Terrier, you would be forgiven for thinking that the latter is just a small version of the former. In reality however, the Mini, as it is affectionately known, is genetically distinct from its bigger relative, unlike, for example, the Poodles and Dachshunds with their different size varieties. It was in the 1860s that James Hinks of Birmingham created the all-white Bull Terrier, which was noticeably different from the motley bunch of “Bull-and-Terriers” that had been around decades and who were so successful in the dog fighting pits of the time. This new “Bull Terrier” was elevated from its dark and violent past emerging as a gentleman’s companion. In fact, according to Hinks’ biographer, Kevin Kane, it was bred as a fashion accessory for the new middle classes, albeit one which symbolised power and masculinity. Despite the fact that they all had a distinctive white coat, there was significant variation in size among early Bull Terriers. At the famous International Show of Dogs at Islington in 1864, the Bull Terrier entries were divided into different classes determined by size. There were Bull Terriers under 10lbs and Bull Terriers over 10lbs. This weight limit was adjusted to 15lbs three years later and then to 25lbs another 7 years on. Clearly, the larger Bull Terriers were preferred. At the turn of the century there were actually three sizes: large (Standard Bull Terriers); medium (Miniature Bull Terriers) and small (Toy Bull Terriers).

  • Black and Tan Coonhound
    FEDERATION CYNOLOGIQUE INTERNATIONALE (AISBL) SECRETARIAT GENERAL: 13, Place Albert 1 er B – 6530 Thuin (Belgique) ______________________________________________________________________________ 04.10.2002/EN FCI-Standard N° 300 BLACK AND TAN COONHOUND This illustration does not necessarily show the ideal example of the breed. 2 ORIGIN : USA. DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THE OFFICIAL VALID STANDARD : 30.01.1991. UTILIZATION : Hound. FCI-CLASSIFICATION : Group 6 Scent hounds and related breeds. Section 1 Large-sized hounds. Without working trial. GENERAL APPEARANCE : The Black and Tan Coonhound is first and fundamentally a working dog, a trail and tree hound, capable of withstanding the rigors of winter, the heat of summer, and the difficult terrain over which he is called upon to work. Used principally for trailing and treeing raccoon, the Black an Tan Coonhound runs his game entirely by scent. The characteristics and courage of the Coonhound also make him proficient on the hunt for deer, bear, mountain lion and other big game. Judges are asked by the club sponsoring the breed to place great emphasis upon these facts when evaluating the merits of the dog. The general impression is that of power, agility and alertness. He immediately impresses one with his ability to cover the ground with powerful rhythmic strides. Considering their job as a hunting dog, the individual should exhibit moderate bone and good muscle tone. Males are heavier in bone and muscle tone than females. IMPORTANT PROPORTIONS : • Measured from the point of shoulder to the buttocks and from withers to ground the length of body is equal to or slightly greater than the height of the dog at the withers.
