What is the kennel club's stance regarding the recent articles in the telegraph?

We Answered:

The Kennel Club is the governing body of dogs and among our primary objectives is the dog’s health and welfare. We were therefore very disappointed to read the article in the Daily Telegraph today as it was outdated, inaccurate and poorly researched.

It would take too long time to correct every inaccuracy included in the copy but to give some examples:

The author states that ‘there are more than 30,000 genetic defects identified in pedigree dogs with a new one being discovered every month’. To clarify the dog has only 20,000 genes and 500 diseases! This compares rather favourably with man with over 3000 diseases.

The author also states that ‘It has not taken long for 100,000 years of breeding for function to be undone.’ Recent studies have proved that the wolf, from which the domestic dog has evolved, was only domesticated some 20,000 years ago and the majority of dog breeds are less than 200 years old.

It is also stated that mongrels live two or three times longer than pedigree dogs. It is a fact that some breeds live far longer than mongrels and the Kennel Club has genetic health screens in place for pedigree dogs that we don’t yet have for mongrels.

The Kennel Club Charitable Trust has dispersed large sums of money since its inception in the late 80’s in the areas of support, sentiment and science. In the latter area we have invested in genetic research, DNA, hereditary disease and specialist studies. Much has been achieved in these areas there is still much to do.
