At our recent committee meeting it was suggested we hold zoom seminars / chats where the members are invited to get involved. The proposal follows the very successful on-line “chat” that Lee Cox had as part of “Talking Dogs with Ante”

So please get involved!

The committee would like to hear from you regarding subjects of interest to you. We can then hopefully get the appropriate speakers to hold a seminar style evening.

[Now I’m going to get into trouble for this!]

At the committee the first suggestions were “grooming, showing etc.. “

Not putting suggestions here, but why not topics such as Obedience, Mantrailing, Agility (including Hoopers), Scentwork as well as dealing with older dogs, common health issues etc.

I’m sure you will have a lot more!

Please send your suggestions to Eunice King

Thursday 24th August 19.00 – 20.30

The Kennel Club’s health team is hosting a free webinar on intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), a common degenerative neurological condition in dogs, which can unfortunately lead to pain, nerve damage, and even paralysis.

IVDD is caused by a gradual deterioration of the shock absorbing parts of the spine, known as intervertebral discs. As dogs get older, these discs deteriorate and they harden (calcify), which results in diminished shock-absorbing capacity and can subsequently lead to a slipped disc and spinal cord compression. Although IVDD is a complex condition caused by a number of different genes as well as environmental and lifestyle factors, certain breeds experience disc deterioration at much younger ages and are unfortunately known to be predisposed to IVDD. Join our webinar to learn more about what research has told us to date including symptoms, possible treatment options, methods of reducing risk (including details of The Kennel Club IVDD Scheme for Dachshunds), and what future research could teach us.

The webinar will include a presentation from specialist Dr Paul Freeman, Principal Clinical Neurologist at the Queen’s Veterinary School Hospital, University of Cambridge. This presentation will also be followed by a question and answer session, giving attendees a chance to put forward their queries and experiences for discussion.
