What's New
Breeder Education Forum -
Important Notice
 
As many of you know, Dr. Battaglia will not be able to give the scheduled BEC breeders seminar at the National Specialty.  In its stead, the Breeder Education and Health and Longevity committees will jointly sponsor a presentation by a group of NCA members working on the Newfoundland Forelimb Anomaly-a very debilitating syndrome that has continued to appear in the United States Europe and Australia. The presentation will discuss 1) an overview of what we know about the problem now (what it looks like, age of onset, anatomy, radiology, etc.) 2) a more detailed look at the genetic evidence to date.  3) an overview of activity on the social media, relationship to other groups on the web, etc.) and 4) possible opportunities for future research.

Time (cash bar at 6:30, program at 7:00 Wednesday) is the same as announced for the original seminar.  Other arrangements are the same.  The program will be held in Ballroom B

If you are interested in this topic we hope you will join us, whether you had originally registered or not.  We tried to contact everyone who had registered.  If you registered and were not contacted, please let us know at p.j.randall@comcast.net.
