OK, Folks! Forwarded with permission...................
You want to help the breed??? Here is something you can do.
We have been blessed to be the second breed (after the Portuguese Water Dog) to be chosen for a genetic study for hip dysplasia. The researchers need help.with DNA, etc to be able to find out what dastardly little gene causes this malady. There is no public humiliation here. The facts will not reach Youtube.com. Let him/her who has not produced a dysplastic dog step up and admit the lie. Send the researchers bloodlines, pedigrees, confessions, blood, etc. You will get your reward in Heaven, if not sooner.
Thanks,
Dick

Subject: Need Hip Submissions SOS
An Urgent Appeal from the Health and Research Committee:
Dana Mosher at the Ostrander Lab reports that they now have a grand total of 5 dysplastic hips from OES. We need 20 for our breed to continue in the research project
If your own a dog or know of breeders/owners who have dogs with dysplastic hip results, please help us get those samples to the Ostrander Lab. We need to move on this at once. This is an opportunity we do not want to miss.
The information is in the latest OET, page 55.
OR
Call Dana Mosher, Ostrander Lab at 301-451-9390 or call me at 715-8787-4861.
Barb, could you please forward this to the Board. We need everyone's help on this ASAP.
Thanks, Ann
