Thanks to all who have participated in the health survey so far. It has been suspended temporarily because there is a small minority of people who are objecting to the format and questioning of the survey. The information of 230 dogs already collected will be stored and will not go to waste. The Health Officers Committee is very sorry about this inconvenience.

The reason why people are objecting, is that the format which has been presented in paper form and online for filling in IS NOT the format that was passed by the Breed council.

Quite so, Breed Club representatives don't expect to drive miles around the country to discuss and vote on important matters, only to find that what was agreed HAS NOT been carried out

This is an important, and ongoing, survey for our breed and I know that an awful lot of work, and research, has already been completed before the final document received the full approval of the Breed Council.

Therefore, I believe, we should ensure that everyone who completes the survey does so in the knowledge that it is the one which has received the Breed Councils approval. Hopefully this can be sorted out shortly.

We also need to acknowledge the time, and costs incurred, of those who are working so hard on our behalf and the interests of the breed. Thank you.
