Subject: attention Bedlington Breeders
You can help us save the Bedlington terrier breed in this country, and around the world. The Bedlington Terrier Club of Greater Denver and the Bedlington Terrier Club of America’s Breeder Education Committee have designed a brief survey to learn as much as we can about how today’s breeders make their breeding decisions. You have the knowledge and experience to help us help the breed!
The survey should take no more than 10 minutes to complete. Insights we gain from this information can help future breeders make knowledge-based decisions that will keep our breed alive for many generations. Our ultimate goal is to develop a mentoring program that will help not only future Bedlington terriers and breeders, but other rare breeds as well.
Please click on the link below, and when you’re finished, share this link with other Bedlington breeders.

We’ll be glad to share our results with you when we are finished compiling the data! Thank you! Dennis Corash President, Bedlington Terrier Club of Greater Denver

Champion classes to be introduced for breed club championship showsThe Kennel Club has agreed to introduce champion classes at breed club championship shows, with effect from 1st January 2018. These classes, which are not compulsory, have been brought in by the Show Executive Committee (SEC) following a recommendation from the Dog Show Promotion Working Party which recently announced a number of measures designed to improve the dog show scene in Britain. The winner of the champion class, provided it is unbeaten, will join all other unbeaten dogs or bitches to compete for the relevant Challenge Certificate. Caroline Kisko, Kennel Club Secretary, said: “The Kennel Club has received feedback from a number of exhibitors that this concept would be a welcome addition to the show scene. The working party was of the view that the introduction of these classes at breed club championship shows would be a positive step as there would be a number of advantages in allowing exhibitors an opportunity to show a champion dog in this new class as well as another dog in the open class, for example. “There would also be benefits to newer exhibitors and to judges in being able to see more champion dogs which would assist them in the development of their knowledge and expertise in the breed.” This initiative will be reviewed by the SEC after a three-year trial period (1st January 2021). *************************************************** KC BREEDS LIAISON COUNCIL

The
Animal Health Trust and the Kennel Club have begun a joint initiative to
"Give a Dog a Genome". Only 50
breeds, on a first come, first served basis, can be researched in 2016 and the
Kennel Club Charitable Trust has given a grant of £50,000 towards the cost
(equivalent to £1000 per participating breed).
Since the cost of this initiative will be £2000 per breed each
participating breed will be asked to donate £1000.
An
application from the Bedlington Terrier Health Group to participate in the
scheme has been accepted.
Dr Cathryn Mellersh, who is overseeing the research has worked closely
with Dr Susan Haywood researching the 2nd gene which causes CT in Bedlingtons.
More information go to the AHT website http://www.aht.org.uk.
This is a brand new initiative from the AHT to improve dog health by using the
latest technology available in genetics research.
The Kennel Club Genetics Centre at the AHT, under Dr Cathryn Mellersh, is
world-renowned for its pioneering genetic research to better understand, and
eradicate, inherited diseases in purebred dogs. Give a Dog a Genome seeks to
take this expertise to the next level by using the latest technology to
sequence the entire genomes of 50 dogs, from 50 different breeds, by the end of
2016 to radically enhance understanding of the canine genome with the help of
high-tech computers, to better understand which changes in the DNA are neutral
and which cause disease.
Dr Cathryn Mellersh, Head of the Kennel Club
Genetics Centre at the AHT, said: “The AHT has been making significant
improvements to dog health through genetics for over 20 years, but the
knowledge we have the potential to gain from this project could very quickly
accelerate us forward another 20 years.
“The DNA tests we develop from our research are incredibly powerful in helping
breeders to better control, and in time, eradicate, inherited diseases from
their lines. Give a Dog a Genome is the start of something really new and
exciting in terms of better understanding the canine genome and optimising how
this knowledge can be used to improve dog health, but we need support from
individual breeds to do so.”"
