It is Animal Protection Norway that has taken legal action against the Norwegian Kennel Club, the Norwegian Cavalier Club, the Norwegian Bulldog Club and six founders, because they believe that the continued breeding of the dog breeds Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and English Bulldog is in violation of the Animal Welfare Act.
The reason is that these dog breeds are particularly susceptible to disease, among other things as a result of targeted breeding for specific external features.
– The Supreme Court has come to the conclusion that continued breeding of cavaliers is against the law, while under a specific breeding program it will be legal to breed English bulldogs, it says on The Supreme Court’s website.
The judgment has been handed down under dissent. Two judges have a different view of the threshold, and believe that it is not crossed for cavalier either.
