Board Notes – January 2022 FCI PODCAST: DOG WELFARE CHALLENGE IN THE EU – FIGHTING THE ILLEGAL PUPPY TRADE The illegal puppy trade is one of the most challenging animal welfare and health issues of the current era. What do we know about the black market of pets?
Part of this management team in the FCI is the Board of Directors comprising nine members, and within this group exists a smaller group of three members, called the Executive Committee, consisting of the President, Vice-President and Treasurer.
How can we effectively fight it? Who are the stakeholders in solving this cross-border matter? And how could the buying habits of everyday people change the welfare of dogs? Julie Sanders, the International Director of the Companion Animals Department at Four Paws, gives us a deep insight into the illegal puppy trade in the EU in this episode of The FCI Podcast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiVACnW-oCs&ab_ channel=FCIforYOUtube

Comprising ninety-nine countries globally, the FCI is the largest global organisation for Pedigree Dogs covering almost every area of interest, from conformation dog shows to dog sports and field trials.
