Over the past 10 years, new scientific information has become available on dog behaviour, housing, end of life issues, transport, nutrition, euthanasia, and general dog welfare. This third edition of the Code of Practice for Canadian Kennel Operations (“the Kennel Code”) reflects both the new science and our evolving relationship with dogs.  \nThe Kennel Code has been updated to mirror the changing values towards animals that have emerged over the past decade. Dogs are now recognized by the public and by some legislative bodies as sentient beings that have the capacity to feel, perceive, and experience. This recognition has influenced the way people interact with dogs and the standard of care expected to be provided for them, whether a dog’s role is that of family member, working dog, or a dog kept for breeding and show.  \nThis document is the combined work of many dedicated professionals who gave freely and generously of their time and knowledge.  \nMahatma Gandhi said,“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” The CVMA Animal Welfare Committee anticipates that Canada will be viewed as a great nation, in part, for the contribution provided by this progressive document.  \nCanadian Veterinary Medical Association  \nThird Edition | 2018  \nA CODE OF PRACTICE FOR CANADIAN KENNEL OPERATIONS  \nTable of Contents  \nAcknowledgements ........................................................................................................................................... i  \nPreface ............................................................................................................................................................. ii  \n[References .......................................................................................................................................................vi](Referen","cbCaiv0x4IVl5NbU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiv0x4IVl5NbU","pdf",7603151,100,"English","# Acknowledgements\n# Preface\n# References\n# Glossary\n# List of Acronyms\n# Introduction\n# Section 1.
