The Kennel Club welcomes the outcome of the Pekingese Breed Club meeting held in October at which the revised breed standard for the Pekingese, which is set radically to improve the health of the breed, was accepted without reservation by all breed clubs present.

The clubs expressed their commitment to working in cooperation with the Kennel Club: particularly on health related issues and the education of judges.  Equally well, all agreed that health issues will be dealt with in an agreed time frame.  The situation will be monitored by the Kennel Club on an ongoing basis to ensure that judges are supported through education and training. 

The Kennel Club released the revised breed standard for the Pekingese in October and it is confirmed that no further changes to the standard will be considered for a period of 3 years.
