The Dandie Dinmont
Trust
Dear
Dandie Friends,
The
cartoons for the book are nearing completion, though there is
still much to be done before we get it ‘on the road’ but we
will let you all know nearer the time. The University of
Missouri are now getting plenty of blood specimens from Dandies,
and the proposal goes before the Canine Health Foundation within
the next few weeks - and - to date we are looking good. If it had not been for your interest and our American
‘cuzzins’ sending samples we would still have a way to go. The Canine Health Foundation will match what ever we can
raise in funds - and this is why your help is needed so very
much. There is much
work to be done in finding the gene responsible for Glaucoma in
our lovely breed. We are of course hoping for many more sponsors, and you will
appreciate that those so far have come to us via internet
contact. Now we are
reaching out to those who do not have computers via the press
and Dandie Clubs. We were so very delighted when the American
Dandie Magazine - Mustard and Pepper did an article on the work
being done at the University, and Doug and Julie Young who are
the Editors of the ‘Dithers’ are also going to do an article
- so we have great hopes - and wish to thank all of you Dandie
people out there who are so willing to help
Celia,
Margreth, Bronwell,
Ineke.
