The Oslo District Court’s ruling, according to which the breeding of the English Bulldog and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel dog breeds violates of the Norwegian Animal Welfare Act, is being appealed.

The Norwegian Kennel Club (NKK) announced the decision in a press release on Friday.

The NKK believes that only the most responsible breeding actors are affected by the Oslo District Court’s ban.

“This means that irresponsible actors can breed the two breeds just as before. For the sake of dog welfare, we can not leave this decision unchallenged before a higher court,” Tom Øystein Martinsen of the NKK stated.

The organization Dyrebeskyttelsen Norge brought the case to court. It believes that the current breeding of these breeds is in violation of the Animal Welfare Act, according to which breeding must take place so that the animals are in good health.

On January 31, the NKK, the Norwegian Bulldog Club, the Norwegian Cavalier Club, and six breeders were convicted in Oslo District Court for violating the Animal Welfare Act.
