The Breed Health and Conservation Plans

Our breed health and conservations plans (BHCPs) use evidence and data to help us understand the health issues found in each pedigree dog breed. These plans help breeders and owners identify health and welfare problems and use information, health tests and health schemes to avoid passing on those problems to future puppies. They also support and provide breeders with tools and specialist expertise to help manage genetic diversity, understand the impacts of close breeding, and find the best ways to preserve the population of their breed.

Working together for the breed

We’ve worked with breed clubs and breed representatives to gather all available evidence to help us determine the priority concerns for the breed and decide how we can work together to manage and reduce these problems.

Breed priorities

The current key priorities for the breed are:

  • L-2-Hydroxyglutaric aciduria (L2-HGA)
  • Skin conditions

How we plan to make improvements

We’ve agreed the following list of actions with the breed clubs to improve the health of the breed. Both parties are committed to working on these areas and will review these on a regular basis to ensure the actions remain focussed and relevant to the breed’s health.

Breed Club actions include:

  • The Breed Clubs to continue to liaise with The Kennel Club Genetics Centre and ourselves with respect to L2-HGA affected dogs in the breed – IN PROGRESS
  • The Breed Clubs to continue to encourage uptake in eye and litter screening
  • The Breed Clubs to continue to encourage patellar screening and collate results
  • The Breed Clubs and ourselves to explore collaborative routes in raising the profile of L2-HGA amongst breeders, puppy buyers and veterinarians

Our actions include:

  • To repeat the breed’s population analysis. – IN PROGRESS
  • To explore the possibility of developing a reporting database to allow for monitoring of conditions in the breed – IN PROGRESS
  • To continue to monitor skin and cancer research relevant to the breed
  • To explore the possibility of developing a formal patellar screening scheme to allow for recording of results
  • To explore relevant cruciate research where the breed could be included

The full evidence base is available at the discretion of the breed clubs, however if you would like to seek access to the full report, please contact our health team.
