Vulnerable Breed Status

The showbred Greyhounds have now been officially classified as a vulnerable breed.

 The Kennel Club is concerned with protecting those breeds of dog which are of British origin and are considered to be vulnerable i.e. those whose numbers are declining and whose status within the world of dogs has diminished over a number of years.

Registrations have dropped considerably in the last few years.
