Hi everyone, I am so excited by these numbers that I had to pass them on. Heidi Parker and Elaine Ostrander have ~ 75% of their controls and almost half of their affected dogs; this is a large increase in samples since November of last year. They need at least 40 dogs in each group to begin their study.
Heidi gives a lot of credit to members of the berner-L for spreading the word about this study. Thanks to everyone for all of their efforts in spreading the word and their contributions to supporting this study. Best wishes, Coleen --- "H.
