Please bring your DNA swab kits to the World Dog Show on Friday .

 DNA archive submissions can be given to me at the World Dog Show on Friday and I will take them back to the UK & post them to the Animal Health Trust

 I also have 20-30 swab kits for anyone who would like to contribute to the archive … please find me on the Friday at the WDS.

 I can also take back any unwanted swab kits.

Thank you.

 

From Ali and Roadworks at Ryton

I will be bringing some DNA swab kits along to the EFG Open Show on Easter Sunday at The Sports Connexion, Ryton-On-Dunsmore, Coventry CV8 3FL.  Any exhibitors / Glen owner visitors … please come and find me! Swab kits are £5.00. This £5.00 donation goes to the Amimal Health Trust to cover the cost of the kit and storage of the swabs. It would be helpful if folk could print off a DNAkit_request for each of the Glens they wish to swab. If owners would prefer to get their swabs after the show, they can visit www.efghealth.co.uk/dna_archive.html where there are the options to pay by cheque or via PayPal or debit/credit card.

Please do support this important initiative.  Thank you!

Alison, EFG Health Coordinator

If you are going to the EFG Open Show at Ryton-On-Dunsmore this weekend do be aware that there are roadworks around Coventry and Ryton. The Highways Agency is reporting many roadworks have been lifted for the Easter Holidays but these HAVEN’T and the 40mph limit and lane changing will remain in place

 

Terrier Day Tomorrow…and a chance to get some DNA swabs

Tomorrow is the day to see Glen of Imaal Terriers being exhibited so the check list is:-

1) Hall 1, ring 2 for a 9.00am start. (Post Graduate Dog is first in)

2) Passes and leads in the bag

3) Map in the car

4) Read the following:-

Ali Seall will be bringing some DNA swab kits along to Crufts on Friday and will be at the benches in the morning and on the Glen stand at Discover Dogs in the afternoon. Swab kits are £5.00. This £5.00 donation goes to the Amimal Health Trust to cover the cost of the kit and storage of the swabs. It would be helpful if folk could print off and complete a DNAkit_request form for each of the Glens they wish to swab. If owners would prefer to get their swabs after Crufts, they can visit www.efghealth.co.uk/dna_archive.html where there are the options to pay by cheque or via PayPal or debit/credit card.

5) Headache pills and comfortable shoes

Tomorrow the blog’ll be late going up as a first is being attempted-actual time reporting. As Glens are early in the fingers will be typing from ringside (hopefully) so visit us after 10!

….and if you want to see Glens but can’t visit the NEC tomorrow remember Discover Dogs will have all breeds for the whole four days of the show and that certainly includes us!!!!
