We have recently in accordance with Kennel Club guidelines set up a sub committee to help Clare monitor and aid in any issues involving the health and well being of our wonderful breed.

The health sub committee is Clare Boggia and Julie Mackenzie.

                       Ongoing Health Projects.

We currently do not have any specific health projects running however this year a heart testing day was set up which 12 show bred Greyhounds attended.  All dogs tested were clear.  The next steps are to encourage others to participate in further testing days to make data more meaningful and to encourage those who may have had their dogs independently tested to share the results anonymously

We aim to carry out our Health Survey every 5 years as part of the ongoing strategy to monitor and maintain a healthy breed. Below are the results of the 2013 Health Survey.
