| Toby & Stetson Give Blood Again
Toby and Stetson are giving blood again, this time for Dr.
Ned Patterson at the University of Minnesota. Please look for
our current ad in the March/April Australian Shepherd Journal
and Aussie Times. You may also see our ad on our
website.
Dr. Patterson would like more samples from
"affected dogs, and their unaffected relatives (2 generations
any direction), and also some older (6 years or older)
unaffected and unrelated dogs". If you have already sent
samples to Missouri, Dr. Patterson does have access to these
samples. If you want to send a second sample to Dr. Patterson
in Minnesota you can do so. See our blood sample submission
page for instructions.

Folkhalsan Insitute of Genetics. See our blood sample
submission page for instructions.
