New under Hot Topics:

This week we have launched a new section on the challenges and controversies surrounding issues in brachycephalic dogs.  I have been told that even relatively knowledgeable people may not be acquainted with that term.  I have been offered suggestions from 'flat-faced' to 'snub-nosed'  and even 'schmoosh-faced' as terms they have seen describing these breeds on the internet.  Regardless what they are called, Issues of health and welfare in these breeds are a hot topic.  There are challenges and controversies in many countries, but there are also a lot of sincere and concerted efforts to address the problem underway, e.g. by many of our IPFD Partners.  We will continue to develop a broad base of information resources and  to promote and support international efforts.  This topic - the Brachycephalic Issue -is typical of many in the dog world - challenges that need a collaborative effort across countries and stakeholders, embracing scientific and medical, as well as, human and human-animal interaction concerns and resources.

New, in general:

We have upgraded our Invisionzone software to version 4, and launched a new look.  We continue to strive to make the site easier to use.
