A Thank You
A check in the amount of $2300.00 from the Irish
Wolfhound Seizure Study Fund has been sent to the University of
Pennsylvania for the purpose of hiring a laboratory assistant
for the Study to help with the process of preparing for DNA analysis
the blood samples collected from affected IWs and their immediate
relatives. As funds come in they will be forwarded for the same
purpose. This extra pair of hands will greatly help facilitate
our search for the gene(s) connected with inheritable seizures
in our breed.
Many thanks to all of you who contributed individually
or as a group to the this project.

The study of seizures in Irish Wolfhounds began in
September of 1995 in an effort to determine if there was, is or could
be a continuing problem with seizures within the breed. The answers
are: yes, yes and hopefully not. This health problem in the breed does
not approach cancer or heart-related problems in terms of the number
affected. Maybe we can keep it that way. ( continued: Complete

note: Congratulations to all the folks involved with the Seizure Study
and the raffle which was drawn today, they've raised another $3500.
to support this ongoing research. Well done!

| The Irish Wolfhound Association of
New England (IWANE) was founded "to protect and advance the interests
of the breed of Irish Wolfhounds." Many of our dedicated members volunteer
with local animal shelters and work with animals as healthcare professionals,
trainers and behavioral consultants. Members of our active association-
are available to help identify a dog and can discuss temperament,
exercise, nutrition, and the special health and medical concerns-
of the Irish Wolfhound. IWANE would like to help place any Irish Wolfhound
needing a home. We have adoptive members, pre-screened and experienced
Wolfhound owners, who will provide- a loving and permanent home at
a moment's notice. |
