We don’t know if or when some heritable health condition will again “pop up” in our lovely breed … but if it ever does, let’s be prepared!
It is easy to take 5 cheek swabs from your Glen of Imaal Terrier … and send them to the Animal Health Trust (AHT), along with a copy of your Glen’s pedigree and a simple health form …
The more samples we have stored at the AHT, the quicker a research project can “get off the ground” … so please “do YOUR bit” for the breed and request a swab kit … and return it to the AHT!
Here’s what you will find in a swab kit:
