Health Committee News:
New HOD Project
The Irish Setter Club of
America Health Committee is pleased to report a new
initiative in the search for a research study into the
causes of Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy (HOD) in our breed.
More information on the
current research page.
Make sure when getting
dogs blood tested by Optigen for PRA that you also
register for CERF registration by paying the extra fee.
If you do not do that, none of dogs tested by Optigen or
their offspring will be eligible to be registered with
ISGR. CERF does not give numbers to offspring..(.only
ISGR) so it is important if your aim is to get numbers
for the parents in ISGR and any offspring that you also
register for the CERF registration fee on the Optigen
registration form.
ISGR CHANGES
Beginning March 11, 2008, all
submissions to ISGR registration will now be taken by OFA.
OFA will now be doing all the administration work of ISGR
and will continue to register Irish Setters from blood
tested dogs that were tested by Optigen and their offspring.
That information will be put on the website handled by OFA.
If any forms in the meantime have been sent to Chris Miller,
Secretary of ISGR, or Sandy Novocin , blood tested
coordinator, those forms with the proper fees will be
forwarded to OFA. Refunds will be sent to the owners since
the new fee for registering any dog whether blood tested or
from genetically clear stock will now be $7.50.
The application will remain the same although all forms now
should be sent to the following address:
ISGR
c/o OFA
2300 E. Nifong Blvd.
Columbia, Missouri 65201
The U of Missouri is working in conjunction with a lab in Finland
which has just been awarded more than $1 million to study
epilepsy
through SNP mapping.
They are accepting new blood samples. Those who would like to
participate can do so by logging on to the U of Missouri epilepsy
network www.canine-epilepsy.net
. There is a link there to access an online seizure survey and a sample
submission form.
