Dog health seminars for breeders
Cathryn Mellersh, head of canine genetics at the Animal Health Trust
Informative events to continue throughout 2013 Three dog health seminars for breeders will be hosted this year by the Animal Health Trust (AHT), following the success of previous events.
The seminars will be held at the trust's Lanwades Parks site in Suffolk and will each cover a range of topical canine issues, with specialist guest speakers to suit.
AHT's head of canine genetics, Cathryn Mellersh, will also be bringing a talk on canine genetics and inherited diseases to all three events, taking place on June 15, July 5 and September 23.
Other topics covered over the three dates include the British Veterinary Association (BVA)/Kennel Club (KC) hip and elbow dysplasia schemes, estimated breeding values and canine cancer.
In addition, the AHT's seasonal canine illness coordinator, Charlotte Robin, will provide all attendees with the latest findings on the mystery disease.
The event is aimed at dog breeders, and costs £15 per person including lunch and a tour behind the scenes of the trust's small animal clinic.
