But as Health Coordinator for WECS, I am obliged to report any new developments for interested breeders.One of the main concerns regarding testing has been the cost involved, so some good news to start with ….. Until now Laboklin has been the only laboratory recognised by the KC for MDR1 testing, and Optigen the only laboratory offering DNA testing for CEA and PRA (and […] - [Darwin on Inbreeding](https://westofenglandcolliesociety.org/collie-health/darwin-on-inbreeding/): Darwin’s start in life was not promising. He showed no interest in following his father’s profession of medicine and no aptitude for any of the professions open to a gentleman. His father wrote to him in despair. “You care for nothing but dogs, shooting and rat catching. You will bring nothing but shame and disgrace upon yourself and your family.” Even so he sent his son to Cambridge, from where Darwin emerged three years later with a degree. Ignoring his father’s disapproval, Darwin immediately signed on the sailing ship Beagle as a collator of fossils, flora and fauna, a study […] - [The Ten Commandments](https://westofenglandcolliesociety.org/collie-health/the-ten-commandments/): Membership of the Kennel Club’s Accredited Breeding Scheme was open to all breeders of Kennel Club registered dogs, irrespective of whether they have bred one litter or fifty. Breeders who applied to join the scheme agreed to fulfil the following requirements. In addition to these ten requirements. Accredited Breeders were also encouraged to follow a number of recommendations: They should ensure their breeding and whelping facilities accord with good practice; follow any breed-specific recommendations where possible; encourage new owners to take their puppy to the vet as soon as possible; commit to help, when necessary, with the re-homing of a […] - [Collie Health](https://westofenglandcolliesociety.org/collie-health/): The West of England Collie Society has always taken a keen interest in health matters, for many years holding an annual eye testing session in conjunction with one of its shows, whilst the ‘Round Up’, edited by Mrs Hazel Hunt, which became freely available to all members in 1979, has, over the years, highlighted many topics of interest to the exhibitor/breeder. MDR1 Many herding breed dogs (the most commonly affected in the UK are: all breeds of Collie, Shetland Sheepdog, GSD and, Australian Shepherd dogs – including cross breeds) have a genetic predisposition to adverse drug reactions involving over a […] - [Future Events](https://westofenglandcolliesociety.org/future-events/): Show dates and judges 19th July 2026 Championship ShowRough Collie Dogs – Mrs S HawkinsRough Collie Bitches – Mrs M MitchellSmooth Collies – Mrs V GeddesBest in Show – Mrs A Smith. 5th April 2026 Open ShowRough Collies – Mrs L NicholasSmooth Collies – Miss S FlowerSACs – Miss I RobinsonReferee – tbc 6th September 2026 Open ShowRough Collies – Judge tbcSmooth Collies – Judge tbcReferee – Judge tbc Venues Championship ShowSedgemoor Auction CentreMarket WayNorth PethertonBridgwaterTA6 6DF Sedgemoor Auction Centre Map Open ShowEast Huntspill Village HallChurch RoadEast HuntspillHighbridgeTA9 3PG East Huntspill Village Hall Map - [Code of Ethics](https://westofenglandcolliesociety.org/code-of-ethics/): All members of the West of England undertake to abide by its general Code of Ethics Club members: Breach of these provisions may result in expulsion from club membership, and/or disciplinary action by the Kennel Club and/or reporting to the relevant authorities for legal action, as appropriate. - [Our History](https://westofenglandcolliesociety.org/our-history/): It seems impossible to believe that over 60 years have passed since I saw a notice in the dog papers of an inaugural meeting of the proposed “Bristol Collie Club”. I was surprised when I entered the little back room of the Railway Hotel to find some fifteen or sixteen people assembled there. Some of them had travelled long distances to get there, others unable to make it in those days of difficult travel, had written letters of support. It was agreed there and then to try and form a Club to be named the Bristol Collie Club and seek […] - [Committee and contact details](https://westofenglandcolliesociety.org/committee-and-contact-details/): Honorary President – Peter Cornish Tel: email: Chairman Mrs S Beeney 01884 34942 sheilabeeney@btinternet.com Vice Chairman Mrs R MacDonald 01275 790451/07941 825959 rossavon@blueyonder.co.uk Secretary Mrs M Scamp 01752 361753 WECSsecretary@outlook.com Treasurer Mrs J Denton 01297 34627  jodenton90@googlemail Committee Mrs K PortMr N Godber-FordMiss R TilleyMr P AmosMr J BerryCo-opted Mr J Rundle “With the care of our breed in mind, that we cherish so much, we will strive to promote our breed for soundness, temperament and health.
