Hi list,

Years ago when we bred, part of the puppy package included
a write up on anesthesia, written by a fellow Pyr breeder
and a vet. A friend sent me an updated version about 10 years
ago, full of new disclaimers (after all this is the 90s).

Does this list, or any of our breed club web sites, maintain a list 
of FAQs that we could point someone to? And perhaps print out
the pages. Every vet's office I have gone into for the first
time finds me carrying a copy of this, and it arrives any
time a dog needs to undergo anesthesia. I don't do it as an
in your face kind of thing, just a "I am really serious about
this problem and I want you to know how serious I consider this."

And I am certain that there are other breed specific problems
that can be addressed. Is there any place like this?
