Exciting News from the IWHG!
Calling all super veterans - your breed needs you! This year, the IWHG has agreed to subsidise the cost of heart testing all veterans 8 years and over in order to meet the urgent needs of the breed specific heart and osteosarcoma research programmes. All veterans will be required to provide DNA samples for these projects as well as attend an IWHG Regional Heart Testing Session, all very simple and straightforward and at no cost to the owners. If you have a veteran that you would like to include, please contact Rebecca Peek milkwoodhounds@yahoo.co.uk, 07860 142867. Your Golden Oldie will be making an invaluable contribution.Thank you.
