> I feel an opportunity happening. I would be glad to participate in the
study. I don't have any dogs that have torsioned and lived. I have had one
in 25 years of breeding. She was a German girl. But I would be glad to get
the word out to some of the Oregon members and pay for the blood draws if
you they will bring them to my vets. I would need to know where to send the
samples and the pedigrees.
> Now for the opportunity. Mr. Hunt says in is interested in the good of
the breed and I am guessing that he has access to more dogs than I do. I
think it would be a great gesture if he would collect and send samples into
Dr. Pletcher. What say the rest of you.

> We are going to need the infomation on Dr Pletcher posted to the list so
we don't have to go hunting for it. Mr. Hunte needs an email inviting him to
participate and the info as to where to send the pedigrees and blood
samples. The more time he spends in the field visting the breeders he buys
from the more education he can administer. I am sure he would love to help
us out.
