Thank you Gayle for pointing this out. Hooray for the good Doctor. Good news for everyone in Shepherds and others. We are very pleased. Several months ago our club Tampa Bay GSDC gave a thousand dollars to Dr Clemmons toward research and the GS Charitable Foundation matched our donation making it 2000 for research. I am sure that they could use more for those of you want to help out. The fund matching donations really help. Last look at his website showed he was hopeful treating it with diet which is a big break through. The club's treasury remains modest as usual because we give a great deal to local area rescue and other worthwhile projects such as DM, Canine officer family killed in the line of Duty, Chicago rescue, vests for k9's and more. For those interested, we make the money by earning it with Agility. Specialty obedience trials run with great losses, conformation is break even at the very best . Other clubs can do the same. Everyone wants Agility and now Rally. Now everyone knows the method. Go for it. Respond privately if you have questions and if over 5 responses I will post on the list instead of privately.
