Breed Watch serves as an 'early warning system' to identify points of concern for individual breeds. It provides further information about specific health concerns to anyone involved in the world of dogs.
The Kennel Club considers that providing information on breed-specific visible health concerns allows judges, breeders and exhibitors to discourage the breeding of dogs with exaggerated conformational issues that are detrimental to health and welfare. Breed Watch provides an opportunity for all involved to monitor and protect the future of pedigree dogs.
