Epilepsy Research Update

by

Update on Epilepsy Research at Canine Genetics Centre at Cambridge University.

The Canine Genetic Centre at Cambridge launched an epilepsy research project in March which included Irish Setters. Below is their latest call for samples from Irish setters which have been diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy OR  is over 8 years old AND unaffected by epilepsy.

Canine Genetics Centre at University of Cambridge

Earlier this year we told you about new funding that Dr. Sally Ricketts had secured, in collaboration with Linnaeus Veterinary and the University of Helsinki, to extend our epilepsy research into FIVE new at-risk breeds – the Beagle, English Springer Spaniel, Giant Schnauzer, Hungarian Vizsla and Irish Setter.

We have been actively recruiting samples from case and control dogs over the last 6 months ready to send for whole genome sequencing (WGS) and last month our spotlight was on the English Springer Spaniel where you were all amazing in your help, thank you! Now it’s the turn of the Irish Setter as we need more samples please🙏

Do you have a setter that …
… has been diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy
OR
… is over 8 years old AND unaffected by epilepsy?

If so, please contact the team to get involved and help with our research – https://www.canine-genetics.org.uk/research/epilepsy/

RESCUE OPEN SHOW 2023 Cancelled

by

We are sorry to announce that the ISBC have had to cancel the Sybil Lennox memorial open show this year. Unfortunately the venue has new owners and the hire cost has rocketed meaning even a well attended show would be run at a loss. As the aim of this show is to raise money for the ISR&R we feel we have no alternative.

The ISBC are very sad for our loyal exhibitors the rescue and of course our judge but we are hoping to be able to run the show in 2024.
