The Kennel Club

The Kennel Club is a prominent organization dedicated to promoting the welfare of dogs, particularly focusing on health issues affecting brachycephalic breeds, such as Bulldogs and French Bulldogs. Recognizing the risks these popular flat-faced dogs face, The Kennel Club provides extensive resources for prospective puppy buyers, breeders, and dog owners. Their initiatives include a comprehensive Brachycephalic Health Hub, which educates stakeholders about potential health problems linked to the unique anatomical features of these breeds, such as breathing difficulties, eye issues, and skin conditions.

In addition to educational resources, The Kennel Club offers services like DNA testing, health assessments, and pet insurance, as well as guidance on responsible breeding practices. They actively collaborate with breeders, veterinary professionals, and animal welfare organizations to enhance the health standards of flat-faced dogs. Through campaigns, training programs, and events such as Crufts, The Kennel Club strives to create a healthier future for dogs and ensure that their ownership is an informed and responsible choice.
