MESSAGE FROM THE RKC BREED HEALTH REP
It has been highlighted that the current list of Doppler results still contains some mistakes. Please check your results and advise . There are some dogs still omitted because their owners have not advised that they wish for their results to be published as their tests were done pre-publication so for those that would like to see them on the list please advise too. This list was previously updated because of some inaccuracies which is a disappointing error to have to raise again. It is extremely important for all concerned that these issues are dealt with swiftly. Sheena Maclaine Health Liaison Representative to the Royal Kennel Club. Click to download the latest list. |

The Kennel Club are working with their IT department to be able to produce the Doppler Heart Scheme results in a format that will generally be understood, i.e. explanation of the traffic light system for suitability for breeding. The Breed Clubs have asked for this in a format for each individual dog’s record. Those that were involved pre-publication will be given the option to submit previous results but the Kennel Club still have this as "work in progress". In the meantime there is no recognition for those dogs that have a clear heart on their doppler paperwork to be able to go on the Club’s "Over 5 Clear List" and no means for anyone to find these dogs, particularly stud dogs. If you wish to have your dog’s name added to the "Over 5 Clear List" you may submit a copy of your doppler result to the Scottish Club Secretary, Liz Smith – Liz maintains this list.

You may need to kennel your dog if you have to go into hospital … or during a time when you feel you are being pulled in every direction due to family troubles. Any one of the three Trustees will be pleased to discuss your situation and it may well be that we can help towards the problem financially by ensuring your dogs are properly cared for during that time. The Benevolent Fund does not pay veterinary fees, but may be able to help in other respects. Please don’t hesitate to ask … all calls to us are totally confidential and no details are ever passed on.
