Both novice and experienced invited to attend
The Kennel Club, together with Royal Canin, is holding a new programme of seminars for dog breeders to help guide them through various topics.
Each seminar will provide breeders, both experienced and novice, with advice on improving breeding practices and rearing programmes.
Topics covered during the sessions, which will be run throughout England and Scotland between September and December, will include avoiding caesareans, identifying a good DNA test and dealing with autoimmune conditions.
Furthermore, industry experts will be speaking throughout the programme, such as Dr Cathryn Mellersh from the Kennel Club's Genetics Centre at the Animal Health Trust and Dr Angelika von Heimendahl from the Veterinary Reproduction Service.
"We are pleased to offer these important seminars that will undoubtedly help to improve the future health of our dogs," said Caroline Kisko, Kennel Club Secretary.
"With such a prestigious panel of speakers, the seminars are a not-to-be-missed opportunity for all dog breeders, whether they are looking to breed for the first time or have years of experience; event the most experienced breeders will find these seminars useful."
Ms Kisko added that the Kennel Club is passion about creating a future of happy and healthy dogs, therefore such seminars help the organisation work with breeders to achieve this.
Each seminar costs £25 per person, including morning and afternoon refreshments, a buffet lunch and a delegate pack.
