I knew somebody who did three repeat breedings (all three had large number of pups) of a pair of dogs before several in the last litter had diagnosed cases of Muscle Myopathy (the old school name for CNM.) Thank goodness for the new technology and DNA Testing!

That EIC test should be out soon, right?

Definately a fox red one there and the other two will most likely darken as they get older....or at least that is my prediction. From our experience the fox red shade of yellow has to come from both sides and they don't have to be British.

Pretty pups.....all of them.

Wow.....that is a vacation story to remember. They were lucky y'all were right behind them. I know you all made a big difference for them.

I have been following your thread over there as well.
My best to you and Rocco.

Is he a jumper? If so I think I'd play it safe and keep him inside in a crate. After the heart worms die the begin to break apart and travel through the blood system to be eliminated just as any other type of waste matter. If the dogs get overly excited and active, a fragment could travel to their l...

Man, you guys are having a time of it! A dog from Dallas that just got his Grand title was finishing up his 2nd treatment for heart worms. He was scheduled to go home earlier this week. As he was taken out of his kennel in the vet's office he coughed up a blood clot and died. Please be careful with ...

I've marched for the babies before. It is a wonderful cause. An interesting note here....Bryan-College Station Retriever Club spring AKC hunt usually hires a unit of Texas Aggies the work very hard being our Bird Technicians all weekend for the donation we make to their unit. For the past few years ...

I'm sending prayers that he is returned to you soon safe and sound!

I don't think that vicariously enjoying "whatever" with Angelina Jolie is exactly resting.....but it is good to know you are getting your share of entertainment. I do know for a fact that when Dave's heart rate spiked for the last time at around 5:30 in the morning, he was being helped int...

Yes, sir, thank goodness...I heard it was cancelled due to nobody wanting to run under the two of you together! Have a good rest this weekend....Dave recommends reading "The Partner" by John Grisham....even if you aren't a recreational reader....he said it grabs you right away and you can ...

Travis, Glad to see you are going to be ok. We all get wake up calls in life. Sounds like you were fortunate in getting yours when you did. Dave had knee surgery Wednesday morning last week to fix a torn meniscus. Was supposed to be out patient....but he spent 2 nights there because his heart spiked...

Whoa! I just saw this thread...Prayers from our house, Travis.

Hope you just fell asleep on your arms to cause the numbness and tingling! and dizziness....Isn't that sorta normal????

Seriously, take care, we are thinking of you.

Sometimes bad things happen to good people. So sorry to hear of your run of bad luck lately. Keep a positive face forwards and things will turn around again.

I always look forward to the youth copy, we got our yesterday. I love seeign so many kids participating.

Sounds like whatever it was you were lucky. If it was heat exhaustion, the dog will be more likely to feel the effects of heat sooner going forward. I was a heat exhaustion victim many years ago. It was nearly heat stroke. after that I couldn't take the heat much at all before I would begin to get d...
