Episodic Falling and Curly Coat/Dry Eye
Syndrome
CAVALIER KING CHARLES SPANIELS TO BENEFIT
FROM TWO NEW DNA HEALTH TESTS
The
Kennel Club Genetics Centre at the Animal Health Trust launches DNA
tests for dry eye and curly coat syndrome and episodic falling.
Scientists
working in the Kennel Club Genetics Centre at the Animal Health Trust
have identified the mutations responsible for causing dry eye and curly
coat syndrome and episodic falling in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
(CKCS).
Owners
and breeders can access the DNA tests for dry eye and curly coat and
episodic falling, from 18 April 2011, through the AHT's online DNA
testing webshop at: http://www.ahtdnatesting.co.uk/
We have also set up
a Health Fund to benefit Cavaliers in the future. Any
ideas from members on fund raising will be most welcome.
There
will be a silent auction at our Championship Show on 22nd
February 2014 If
you have something you would like to donate please
