The Wire Fox Terrier Breed Health and Conservation Plan

By Dr. David Hughes MRCVS

The Kennel Club launched a new resource for breed clubs and individual breeders - The Breed Health and Conservation Plans (BHCP) project - in September 2016. The purpose of the project is to ensure that all health concerns for a breed are identified through evidence based criteria, and that breeders are provided with useful information and resources to raise awareness of current health and welfare concerns in their breed, and support them in making balanced breeding decisions.
