As part of its ongoing commitment to the Fit For Function: Fit For Life campaign, the Kennel Club has announced a new requirement for
Gundog judges prior to their approval to award KC Challenge Certificates (CCs) for the first time.
Six of the fifteen high profile BOBs failed their veterinary checks and were not represented in the group
judging — bulldog (utility group), Pekingese (toy), Clumber spaniel (
gundog) mastiff (working), Neapolitan mastiff (working) and Bassett hound (hound).
