Recently the Kennel Club announced a new project named above. The K.C. Genetics centre based at the A.H.T. Newmarket has contributed £50,000 towards sequencing the entire genomes of 50 different breeds of dog, the total cost of which will be £100,000 ie.£2000 per breed. They have asked via Breed Health Co-ordinators for an equal amount of £1000 if you wish your breed to be analysed and make a significant contribution to the future of canine genetics research.
I am pleased and proud to say that the Briard has been accepted as one of the first breeds to be sequenced and the British Briard Club has contributed the necessary funds for this.
The entire project is explained very well via the following link: www.aht.org.uk/gdg
Updates will be posted as and when available.
