Bloodhounds West has become a model
for other breed clubs around the United States and holds the honor of being the only «regional breed club» to receive the American Bloodhound Club's prestigious Meritorious Service Award for its work and dedication to breed rescue.
Many other breed clubs, including the American Kennel Club, have followed suit and established their own Health Foundations (AKC / CHF), using the CHF as the role model.
Even claims that puppies and their parents are registered by the American Kennel Club, or
other breed clubs, are no guarantee of lineage or health.

other breed clubs, including the American Kennel Club, have followed suit and established their own Health Foundations (AKCCHF), using the CHF as the role model.
We call upon
all other Breed Clubs to work together with the Kennel Club to establish and maintain collaborative relationships with vets, referral clinicians, researchers, professional organisations and regulatory bodies, both within the UK and worldwide.
If the breed is represented by multiple national registries within a country, we strongly urge you to work in cooperation with all of
the other breed clubs so that all clubs are taking similar action.
