The BEST thing about the OESCA National this year!!

There was a very well organized DNA repository set up by the OESCA health committee. The success was larger than expected. The 'team' (including our own Maxmm who woke up at 5:30 am - for 2 days) ended up collecting 127 blood samples, and there were only 107 dogs entered in the events. :banana:

This is great news for OES health!!! Even the AKC rep was very impressed with how proactive our breed club was with trying to identify health issues, in comparison to other breeds.

I also would like to direct everyone to the OES Health web site at http://www.oeshealth.org/ There is an online survey, that is only available until May 15, 2009. ALL WORLDWIDE OES owners who have/had OES within the years 1998-2008 should please participate, whether you purchased your dog from a reputable breeder or pet store, rescued, etc. Even if your dog has no health issues, they would still like you to participate.

All data that is collected will be used to direct funding for research on OES health issues that are identified in the survey.
:cheer: :cheer:
