Mark Billadeau Posted September 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 We are pleased to announce that with the help of Dr Emily Falk we will be collecting samples for the ABCA Health and Education Foundation's study on EAOD and the DNA sample bank. If you are interested in providing samples from your dogs please come prepared with the registration numbers for your dogs. I will have copies of the form to be filled out and the supplies to collect samples. Please note that new fencing was installed on the property line through what has been our parking/camping field, maneuvering a camper in this field is now very difficult. Camping will be in field along the right side of our drive (a flat field). The entrance to the camping field is at the beginning of our drive and will be marked. Parking (no RVs) will continue to be down our drive in the field near the house. Mark & Renee Billadeau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Billadeau Posted September 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 The Open handlers meetings will be at 6:45am; first dog on the field at 7am. Sunday's handlers meeting will be at 7:45am with first dog on the field at 8am. The running orders are posted below. There are white posts in the camping field to mark rocks you may not see in the dark. Please do not camp near the water tank, this is their water source in the exhaust field. We will be collecting samples for the ABCA Health and Education Foundation's funded study on EAOD and the DNA sample bank. If you wish to submit samples please bring a copy of the pedigrees; the researchers would like these for their study. There will be a sign-up sheet by the score boards for submitting samples and we will be collecting towards the end of the trial days.
