This autumn, Scotland will have a referendum on whether to become an independent country or stay as a part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
As most dog breeders know, modern dog showing was founded in England. The Kennel Club in England is therefore no member of the FCI, the International Kennel Federation, because they see themselves as the foremost kennel club anyway. In the same way, the Scottish Kennel Club is also not a member of the FCI.
If Scotland becomes independent, it is important that the Scottish Kennel Club also displays its independence from the English Kennel Club. It has, therefore, applied to become a member of the FCI. Becoming a member of this international organisation will be an important step towards full independence from the English overlords, since the English are not members of that organisation.
The ballot on independence from the UK will, consequently, also display a question on whether the Scottish Kennel Club should join the FCI or not.
