How has breeding to Kennel Club standards affected the Welfare of Dogs?

Introduction

It is evident from the natural structure that animals have been seen as having feelings at all but now it's time to take care of their welfare under the domain of studies in terms of behavior and physiology. In today's environment more than 550 diseases and severe defects are recorded during the examination. There are a number of diseases which are mostly inherited for example: Inherited diseases such as hip dysplasia, brachy-cephalic airway-syndrome, cardio-sympathies, endocrine dysfunctions, blood disorders and there are others also which affects their life and stamina. There are around 450 breeds which can be identified currently, but most of them except some are artificial breeds instead of natural selection.

Veterinarians needs to be benefited in such a case of progression of the program, and being a new scientist and being a new scientist , it is the need of the hour to differentiate and identify the affect of Kennel Club standards on Dogs Welfare (Boyko, 2009, pp. 107). Certainly the owners of dogs, the core breeding people, veterinarians and ion the other hand, animal care scientists need to determine such facts which make them aware of the activities of Kennel Club (CKC) as well as other similar functioning organizations; there are a number of genetic disorders which occur due to the same affect (Smith, 1985).

There are a number of different aspects which determines the diseases which are inherited from their ancestors to their offspring's (Bateson, 2010, pp. 24-32). There affects and impact must be analyzed in order to gauge and to measure the affect, as well as, the changes that occur after implementation.

However there are several perspectives on what is most important to obtain this quality of life. Keeping in mind all of these aspects none of them can be considered right or wrong, but only that correspond to differences in values and opinions. Thus, the concept of animal welfare must represent a consensus among scientists and the general ...
