The Kennel Club recently met with representatives of the Crown Estate to discuss the signing of a concordat between the two organisations on the rights of dog owners in and around Windsor.

Both organisations discussed how to work together to help secure and develop the rights of dog owners to walk their dogs in the town’s open spaces, in a balanced approach which takes into consideration the needs of the non-dog owning public.

Kennel Club Communications Director, Caroline Kisko commented: “This is a great opportunity for both organisations to work together to help improve and develop dog walking on the green spaces owned by the Crown Estate in Windsor.

“After the successful signing of the concordat with the City of London Corporation in 2011 regarding similar issues, we are pleased to be involved with helping promote responsible dog ownership and management with the Crown Estate.”

The concordat is expected to be signed at the Windsor Championship Dog Show in June 2013.

The Kennel Club is the largest organisation in the UK devoted to dog health, welfare and training. Its objective is to ensure that dogs live healthy, happy lives with responsible owners.

It runs the country’s largest registration database for both pedigree and crossbreed dogs and the Petlog database, which is the UK’s biggest reunification service for microchipped animals. The Kennel Club Assured Breeder Scheme is the only scheme in the UK that monitors breeders, in order to protect the welfare of puppies and breeding bitches. It also runs the UK’s largest dog training programme, the Good Citizen Dog Training Scheme and licenses shows and clubs across a wide range of activities, which help dog owners to bond and enjoy life with their dogs. The Kennel Club runs the world’s greatest dog show, Crufts, and the Discover Dogs event at Earls Court, London, which is a fun family day out that educates people about how to buy responsibly and care for their dog.

The Kennel Club invests in welfare campaigns, dog training and education programmes and the Kennel Club Charitable Trust, which supports research into dog diseases and dog welfare charities, including Kennel Club Breed Rescue organisations that re-home dogs throughout the UK. The Kennel Club jointly runs health screening schemes with the British Veterinary Association and through the Charitable Trust, funds the Kennel Club Genetics Centre at the Animal Health Trust, which is at the forefront of pioneering research into dog health. The new Kennel Club Cancer Centre at the Animal Health Trust will contribute to the AHT’s well-established cancer research programme, helping to further improve dog health.
