KC 2014 Breed Health Survey Results
The results of the Kennel Club's 2014 Breed Health Survey have now been published. The survey, which was conducted online during November and December 2014, aimed to provide a clear picture of the prevalence of current health concerns and to highlight changes since the 2004 Breed Health Survey.
You can access the 2014 reports using the links below:

2004 Summary Results for all breeds
The results for all breeds are available on the Kennel Club website - see Pedigree Breed Health Survey 2014 (opens in new window).
The infographics below highlight key statistics from the Bearded Collie reports for 2004 and 2014. Note that the 2004 results grouped health conditions by organ system, while the 2014 report identifies specific individual conditions. Because of this difference in approach, be cautious about comparing prevalence figures for 2004 and 2014 - you should read both reports to understand the figures fully.
