Don't forget: Free Distichiasis examinations of Miniature Longhaired Dachshunds at the Houndshow

Post date: Jul 30, 2013 9:36:25 AM

Free Distichiasis examinations of Miniature Longhaired Dachshunds will be available at the Houndshow (Stafford County Showground) on August 3rd, organised by the Miniature Dachshund Club.

Please download and complete a Distichiasis Form for each of your dogs and bring this to the show, along with each dog’s REGISTRATION DOCUMENT and two copies of its PEDIGREE.

Why participate?

  • Distichiasis is known to be more prevalent in Mini Longs than the other Dachshunds, but we don't really know how much of a health problem it is, if at all

  • The more dogs we can examine, the better advice we'll be able to offer owners and breeders

  • Each owner will know, with confidence, the Distichiasis status of their dog(s)

  • Any dog(s) with a problem can be referred for further specialist advice

For more information, please contact Dawn Norton or Judy Squires
