I would encourage anyone who is considering these courses to look into the
bona fides of the instructor (Carol). She is a PhD, but her background is
NOT in dogs (hummingbirds and invertebrate mammals). Google, you'll see
I'm right.
She gathers data from different studies and comes up with her own
conclusions (sometimes wacky as in all puppies are born free of
HD....um....well
yeah, how would a newborn have deterioration of a joint that isn't even fully
formed yet????). She has apparently learned that she can market these
courses and has launched a pretty aggressive campaign to do so.
So anyway, do your homework before you hit the paypal button. Not a
breeder, owns one dog.

TOPICS
Molecular Genetics, Clinical Genetics, and Population Genetics
How are they different? How are they used?
Founders, gene pool, and genetic diversity
What do the terms mean? How are they determined? Do they matter?
Coefficient of Inbreeding
What does it mean? How is it calculated? How is it used properly (and
improperly)?
Relatedness
How genetically related are two dogs? How is relatedness determined?
Does it matter?
Evaluating genetic health
What is effective population size? What is effective number of founders?
Genetic testing
What are the right and wrong ways to use genetic tests? Are genetic tests
really the answer?
EBV
What is it? How is it calculated? Why is it being used by domestic animal
breeders around the world - but not by dog breeders???
Improving the health of dogs
Putting it all together.
