Description
This week Laura speaks about Good Dog’s Club Partnership Program with special guests Wendy Ball of the Bichon Frise Club of America (BFCA) and D'Arcy Downs-Vollbracht and Sandra Hickson of the Dandie Dinmont Terrier Club of America (DDTCA).
Good Dog has long been in awe of all the work that the Parent, Speciality, Regional, Local, All-Breed, Performance and other clubs do and their commitment to the preservation and protection of dogs, breeds, education, and canine health. Through the Club Partnership Program, Good Dog provides clubs with financial support (including an annual grant of up to $2,000 and contributions to breed-specific research), recognition, policing, education and free legal and tech support, among other things.
Wendy describes how the BFCA will be using their grant from Good Dog to rebuild their club’s website. Bichons are a very popular breed and as people are looking to acquire healthy, well-bred Bichons having a good club website that is easy to navigate, accessible, and can provide vital education to the public is absolutely critical.
D’Arcy, who is the Health & Genetics Chair of the DDTCA, describes how the DDTCA will be using the grant from Good Dog to provide vouchers to breeders and owners to get eye exams. She speaks to how making such exams more accessible not only provides significant benefits on the data collection side of things, but also helps leave a legacy of health for the Dandie Dinmont Terrier breed.
Our guests also talk about their individual experiences as early members of Good Dog’s Good Breeder community and how they believe the organization is helping educate the public and build a better world for our dogs!
