REVISED KENNEL CLUB HEALTH STANDARD FOR WELSH CORGI PEMBROKE - APPLICABLE TO UK BASED BREEDERS

The UK Kennel Club health team have decided that our breed now sits within category 2 for Hip Dysplasia testing

This means that although Hip scoring is not yet mandatory,  it should be considered best practice to test all breeding stock and have the results submitted using the KC / BVA Hip Dysplasia scheme

Your health coordinator has asked for a comprehensive list of approved vets but that has not been provided.

Any BVA registered Vet is able to submit X-Rays as part of the scheme, however it might be a good idea to check they have experience with the positioning of similar dwarf breeds as your Health coordinator understands that correct breed-specific positioning for Corgis is of utmost importance.

Your health coordinator has also asked what scores might be considered acceptable in breeding stock (bearing in mind scoring is recommended but not mandatory as yet) but has not as yet received a reply.

The new health standard for Pembrokes will be published by the year end.
