The club was present in the Discover Dogs are at Crufts 2010 and it was another lovely 4 days from 11th-14th March. Over whelming at times with the public admiring and cuddling the Swissies who were all doing great PR for their breed over the 4 days. The youngsters took it all in their stride. All the lovely comments about the dogs and the booth decoration.

Hip comparison table

Submitted by admin on Sun, 11/22/2009 - 13:14

The hip comparison chart below shows the grades for the various countries.

A & B or Free or 0 are the best desired for breeding purposes. A is equal to our HD Free/0 score here in the UK. For the GSMD Elbows must be ED Free/0 only but in the UK the KC allows an ED1 score for breeding but does not recommend above this as it is dysplacia. OCD is shoulders and this must be Free only nothing else is acceptable for breeding. Swissies can and do suffer shoulder dysplacia and those that suffer from it are operated on but NEVER bred from.
