The Kennel Club has launched an online International Canine Forum which went live on Feb 14.

The website will allow users to easily access all Kennel Club position papers, parliamentary updates and policy related press releases. In addition to this, users will be able to communicate with those responsible for public policy and lobbying at the Kennel Club via a direct link, and will be able to gain useful contact information for any other Kennel Club query.

Kennel Club Secretary Caroline Kisko said: "The Kennel Club is delighted to launch the International Canine Forum and is in discussion with other Kennel Clubs about joining the site since Government policies relating to dogs often influence those adopted overseas".
