Serious Dog Illness in Norway

From the Canadian Kennel Club

"On September 17, CKC advised members of a serious dog illness in Norway. In response, the Norwegian Kennel Club (NKK) Board cancelled all dog shows and decided they would not send national teams to FCI Championships until further notice, pending a change in recommendations by the Norwegian Food Safety Authority.

An investigation by the Norwegian Veterinary Institute (NVI) and the Norwegian Food Safety Authority (NFSA) has concluded that the number of diseased dogs is declining, and not all cases of illness are linked. Following the investigation, the NKK has decided to reverse its decision to cancel all shows and will send national teams to the FCI Championships. 

More information about the decision can be found on NKK’s website.

CKC urges any members that are traveling within Norway to continue to follow the recommendations of the Norwegian Food Safety Authority, to minimize the risk of exposure."
