Check Health Test Results, please

10th July 2012 - We've received the following advice from The Breed Council.  Archie Bryden, The Lead Health Co-ordinator, says: "Owners need to be aware, I believe, as others may check such details out if looking for studs or if a bitch should be accepted for mating - by responsible owners at least."

"In the course of current investigations, I have uncovered an occasional anomaly with the Kennel Club Test Result finder system, including failing to find dogs on the database which ought to be there, although their parents may be found. In some occasions mis-spelling in catalogues etc. may be the cause. I have also discovered that important test results, such as DNA litter testing by responsible breeders if a parent is a carrier, may not be recorded.

I would suggest that owners check that the health test information recorded on their dogs’ registration forms is correct, and that details on the health test result finder is also accurate. Should there be any errors or omissions, the Kennel Club should be contacted to get information updated."
