IKC suspends trials
THE
IRISH Kennel Club informs all interested parties that owing to the current Foot
and Mouth disease outbreak in the United Kingdom, all Field Trials and Working
Trials/Tests have been suspended for the duration of the crisis.
We would advise all dog owners not to exercise or train their dog on farmland
or in open countryside.
Exhibitors who are considering showing their dogs in the immediate future in
the United Kingdom should be aware that if the situation worsens, their dogs
may be delayed returning to Ireland, until the disease has been contained.
