I have made arrangements with a laboratory that is doing research in Lymphoma and Hemangioscarcoma. They are looking for healthy dogs over the age of 5 years to participate in having their blood drawn. They have identified an indicator of early cancer and will follow up on those dogs that have a positive indication. The test is without cost as is the follow up phase for those that have a positive. The blood would be drawn by appointment in Woodland Hills California and anyone who is interested in participating in this should contact me. I will put you in touch with the lab, they Will have you fill out some forms and they will then give you the information as to how to get the test done. I would like to see us help them out with as many as 50 to 100 dogs--you can bring as many dogs over the age of 5 and get anyone with a GSD to participate. I am at the AKC Health Conference this weekend so may not check in again until Sunday nite.
