The International Partnership for Dogs (IPFD) was initiated in August 2014 by leading national kennel clubs and other stakeholders in dog health to address common goals and needs; to enhance the sharing of information and resources to support purebred dogs and all dogs; and to build a sustainable, international organization through leadership and sharing.
In 2015, the first full year of operation, IPFD experienced:
• Solidification and expansion of Partnerships.
• Communication and outreach at international conferences.
• The launch and expansion of our internet platform, DogWellNet.com.
• Engagement of an increasing number of breed clubs, judges, veterinarians, researchers, and others.
• Enactment of our key goals and model, i.e., IPFD staff consultants are developing content and functionality of our web platform while encouraging participation and contributions from our Partners, their members and associates, and others.
