DNA Clinic - please pre-register

Hi all,

Hard to believe but in 3 weeks it's the ESAA National - just to remind you that the DNA clinic is Wed & Thursday (Oct 26 & 27). The clinic will run from 8:30 to 4:30 on Wed and 8:30 am to 3:00pm Thurs.

Preregistration really speeds up the clinic - I can e-mail forms to you.

Some of you have talked about bringing blood from dogs at home. We can work that out this year but you should contact me immediately to work out the logistics.

One last thing - we could really use 1 volunteer for each 2 hr period to help hold dogs, help with paperwork, etc.

Thanks - see you in 3 weeks!

Educational Seminars at the National

I'm thrilled to report that Marty Greer (DVM JD) has agreed to add a 2nd topic to the educational program at 7PM on Thurs., Oct. 27.  

 

The two topics are:

1. "Writing Effective Stud Dog & Puppy Sales Contracts" 
2. "Using Modern Technology to Get YOUR Bitch Pregnant"

These are critical topics to the future of breeding and Dr Greer is an engaging and interesting speaker.  She holds a Doctorate of Veterinarian Medicine (DVM) and a Law Degree (JD).    Mark Thursday Oct 27th on your calendar and be sure attend these seminars.   


Please send me a quick email RSVP to help establish expected numbers. 


Thanks, 
~Lin

Premium Lists Coming soon!

Just a quick update on the premium list for the National - it's at the printer now and should be mailed out the week of September 5th.  Once we have a link for it on the Show Secretary's site, we will link to it here as well.

Entries close October 5th -  for additional show information please check out the "entry info" page.

DNA Clinic at the National is a GO!

Special thanks to Dick Fox for continuing to move the invaluable DNA clinic forward at the ESAA National. 

If you have not had your dog's blood drawn for the DNA bank PLEASE make sure you plan to at the National.  It's easy if you fill out the information ahead of the show and then it's only 5 minutes of your time at the show to get the blood drawn.  The blood is stored and then used in future studies to help further research into genetic and heritable diseases.   This is critical for the future of our gorgeous breed!  

We will have the forms up on here shortly for you to download. 

   

Do this for the breed ... it needs you!
