Society Information
Canine Genetics and Epidemiology is published with the support and backing of the Kennel Club, the UK’s largest organisation dedicated to the health and welfare of dogs.
The Kennel Club Educational Trust (KCET) supports the Canine Genetics and Epidemiology journal by covering the costs of open access publication for research or review articles in the area of domestic dog health. The KCET is pleased to be able to facilitate the open access publication of research that has been carried out independently of the Kennel Club and its Educational Trust. Neither the Kennel Club nor the KCET have any editorial role, and so the articles published in the journal, and the views expressed therein, are solely the decision of the journal editorial team and those of the author(s) respectively, and may not represent the views of the Kennel Club or the Kennel Club Charitable Trust.
Canine Genetics and Epidemiology are pleased to be a collaborating partner to the International Partnership for Dogs (IFPD).
