Indian National Kennel Club

INKC is a non-profit organisation founded in 1957. Our motto is "Dogs for a Good Life ... A Good Life
(35)

1: Main motto:

Dogs for a good life;
A good life for dogs.

2: We believe that…

Dogs are a boon to humans, and deserve to be treated with love and understanding;

The love of dogs – particularly within the wider ambit of love of nature – induces men to be nobler denizens of our planet;

The companionship of dogs is an essential element in the full and balanced development of human personalit

y;

The love of dogs as man’s best friend is universal, and cuts across status, cultures and barriers between the peoples of the world. Pure-bred dogs enhance the pleasure and purpose of keeping, breeding and training dogs;

The physical characteristics, behavioral traits and working ability of pure-bred dogs are a valuable inheritance which needs to be conserved, and the integrity of the various breeds scrupulously maintained as required by the ideal;

3: Our endeavour shall be ….:

To inculcate love and understanding of dogs among the human fraternity;

To generate and increase awareness among the public of the pleasures and benefits of the company of dogs;

To promote and enable knowledgeable and ethical breeding of pure-bred dogs;

To promote the practice among breeders of pricing their puppies according to quality, and of selling them directly to genuine owners, without the involvement of pet-shops, dealers or brokers;

To inculcate a deeper understanding of dog behaviour, and encourage and enable humane, progressive and efficient methods of dog training;

To promote the utility of dogs for lawful and humanitarian purposes, wherever such breeding, training and deployment elicits the best that dogs can offer without causing them distress;

To encourage dog owners to involve themselves personally in the handling, showing and training of their dogs;

To instill professionalism, dedication and a quest for increased knowledge among those who desire to render their paid or honorary services to dogs or dog owners;

To disseminate suitable information pertaining to dogs, organize classes, seminars, workshops, and shows;

To conduct quizzes and tests in theory and practice, so as to enable dog lovers to gain a fair assessment of their knowledge of dogs;

To maintain true records, including records of pedigree, issue certificates in acknowledgement thereof, promote fair and healthy competition at dog shows and allied tests;

To procure for dog-lovers such facilities, benefits and privileges as are necessary for their better enjoyment of their dogs’ company;

To give direction to the dog world, and regulate its affairs.

The work that a sheep-dog does is truly amazing, making these dogs indispensable as partners of the shepherd. Note the speed, the instant response, the sheer enthusiasm that these dogs display.

Such working dogs (whatever they are bred to do) are the epitome of selective breeding, and present to all dog-lovers a cultural heritage that needs to be appreciated and conserved.

Graham Thompson responded beautifully to a discussion about dogs in the show ring being stripped of their innate behavioral traits, to the extent that even guard dogs are expected to allow judges to touch them:

"There seems to be an International trend to go over dogs as if one was blind and reading Braille!!! People judge horses, cattle, sheep etc mainly by eye, not pawing them from tip to toe!"

Food for thought, indeed!

Wolves in the wild travel from 4 to 40 miles (64 km) every day - to hunt, and to maintain territory. Our dogs are the descendants of wolves; how many can do this . . .including the German Shepherd Dog, which was once known for its loping gait and fabulous stamina?

The cripples that the SV has created are far from the vision of the founder of the GSD, Max von Stephanitz. Truly, the fence has eaten the crop.

"We often think we're better than other animals because we believe we're smarter, but that arrogance too often leads to disrespect for non-human animals and justifies the harm we cause. . . . .That makes human intelligence an inferior evolutionary adaptation when compared to the kinds of intelligence we find in other species."
--- Marc Bekoff

The Bold and the Beautiful.

In Argentina, there's a restaurant called Restobar Dickens, with a sign saying:
"We ask all our customers with all our hearts not to be upset by the number of stray dogs that may be in the restaurant.
We are a pet friendly place and we give water, food and lots of love to these sweet angels. I'm sorry if it bothers you, but they're not doing anything wrong, they're just looking for food or shelter.
Thank you very much! ❤️

At one time it was the German Shepherd that was in the forefront of performing difficult tasks, until the SV produced cripples and gave them the title of 'Sieger'! Now, it's the Belgian Malinois. Let's hope its guardian "angels" are a more genuine lot than the SV was for GSDs.

Shows and Judges make or break a breed. Please choose your judges carefully.

A structured master-plan to make people at large understand and appreciate dogs better would be most productive.

"Adopt; don't shop." Is this right?
Even if all bought dogs were replaced by 'adopted' dogs, the unowned dog population will not disappear. The underlying sentiment in the statement is anti-pure-breed, which is the bane of the sentimental ignoramuses that comprise the Animal Welfare Brigade.

19/05/2024

The usefulness of dogs is unlimited.

13/05/2024

A dog show is a serious breed evaluation procedure, with prizes thrown in for fun. It loses its purpose and damages the breeds when it becomes a spectator sport.

06/05/2024

The Belgian Shepherd (Malinois) can perform amazing feats. Let's ensure that this ability is sustained in the breed, and not diluted by breeding only for the Show Ring.

An amazing dog. It's good to see that everyone is friendly to it.

Buying a puppy from a random source without genuine papers is like buying 'Scotch' from a bootlegger.
