A CALL FOR WEIMARANER DNA SAMPLES!
New research in the area of genetic disease in the Weimaraner breed is gearing up at the Veterinary Genetic Laboratory (VGL) in the University of California, Davis. This project is lead by Noa Safra DVM PhD, a Weimaraner breeder and WCA member since 1996. The
goal of this research is the discovery of DNA markers for multiple Weimaraner inherited diseases.
The success of this project is directly related to the number and quality of DNA samples provided for research. We implore all Weimaraner enthusiasts, worldwide, to participate in this unique opportunity to advance the health and wellbeing of the breed so dear to all of us.
Samples from any Weimaraner with either a definitive or suspected genetic condition will be considered. Please do not hesitate to contact me with regard to any condition you may have experienced. Confidentiality is assured.
