Re: Weight gain, have you had her tested for EPI? It's very common in our breed, however there are other signs but it would be good to rule it out.

Maybe we should make it longer between judging the >national and then we will get new faces. Ann I agree with the longer intervals between judging assignments - both for = nationals and futurities. Let's spread things around a little. I believe = the ASSA (sheltie parent club) has now gone to 7 year intervals for their = national. =20 And, I also think it is very important to make sure that all members have = the opportunity to vote on judges. I do think that the outcome for next = years judges could very well have been different if more Canadian votes = had been counted. It's time to go to electronic balloting, IMO.

I don't know if that Board members bring the names of possible judges to the April Board meeting. The Board then votes for 6 to be on the slate. After that persons can run by petition.

Below is a link to just one of the many sites on this topic. http://www.marvistavet.com/html/exocrine_pancreatic_insufficie.html Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (also called â??Maldigestionâ??) The most common cause of digestive enzyme deficiency in dogs is â??pancreatic acinar atrophy,â?? where the pancreas simply is shriveled and useless. This condition seems to have a genetic basis but is not congenital and may develop at any age (though usually shows up before age 4 years). The German Shepherd Dog and Rough-Coated Collie are particularly at risk and the mode of inheretance appears to be autosomal recessive and involves immune-mediated destruction of the pancreas. About 70% of dogs with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency are German Shepherd dogs and 20% are Rough Collies Lyn Ginger Cleary <cleary1414@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: NOT for me, LOL!
