The 2016 Rhodesian Ridgeback World Congress convened June 29-30 in Lund, Sweden, for two days to discuss issues of interest to Ridgeback owners, breeders, and fanciers. Attendees at the close of the Congress approved the following resolution:
“The 2016 Rhodesian Ridgeback World Congress recognizes that breeders are autonomous and are the best arbiters of what should happen in their whelping boxes. To that end, the 2016 RRWC strongly encourages breed clubs to avoid punitive language in their codes of ethics or other official documents regarding the breeding of healthy Rhodesian Ridgebacks with only cosmetic faults, and strongly encourages openness and honesty between breeders.”
