some more dogs needed thanks Deb Deb and her Boys Victory's Bullseye,TT.,CGC.,CD,ASCACD. Victory's Dubh Mac Tire, CGC(Wolf) 01/23/05-03/28/2007,lost to PAA/EPI Montauk Sue's Red Codiak Hi, everyone. I haven't posted in a while and thought I should follow up on this subject. We are getting closer to having the amount of DNA samples needed for this study but there is room @ the Inn <G>, for a few more yet still, and a few "extras" beyond that sure wouldn't hurt. The basics: Pedigree is not needed, all submissions are kept in the strictest confidence, read the full details here: http://www.canineme gaesophagus. org/Research_ Genetics. html Trying to keep this as short as possible. If any questions, please contact Leigh Anne Clark (contact info in the URL), or myself. We hope to be hearing from you. Semi- related, I would like to share about Roxie's "Mega Mission" - and appeal for a little help. We have a short timeline to work with but hope that we can fund enough to match the expense of getting there to be able to make the same amount donation (or more would be better!) to the MG study @ UC Davis. Every little bit helps! Though Roxie isn't a pure GSD, my guess is there is most likely strong GSD in her genetic background! Check her out @ http://www.canineme gaesophagus. org/Roxie_ Sr_MG_ME. html She ran in champion speeds last year and is going even stronger with even faster run times now. I believe with all my heart they deserve to be there and realize the huge educational message that could reach the public about these "orphan" disorders. "Orphan" meaning that these disorders that were once considered rare really aren't but little has been done via research. And so many have never even heard of them, so many diagnosis have been missed, so many have been needlessly euthanized. Thanks for listening, Peg M.
