Re: [pyrnet] conference topics (Diana's question)

["ARIEGE" <ARIEGE@xtra.co.nz>]

Bob's talk wasn't as long as we would have liked due to a time frame but he
did speak briefly on Hip dysplasia, luxating patella, bone cancers, OCD,
Dwarfs,  plus a few other things and Valerie spoke on feeding.  Bob also
explained 'Penn Hip" xrays which I found very interesting (have also read
about the procedure) as I was having 2 Pyrs hip xrayed while I was at the
Conference and my friend had just had her's done too. I was pleased to hear
how much emphasis is being placed on the importance of getting people to hip
xray their stock.

Bob also mentioned the "Health Survey" and people were encouraged to go to
the Site and fill out the forms for their Pyrs.  Of course we have already
done this but it was a reminder to update our info and put our younger Pyrs
on there too!!

Would also like to have heard more from Ruth and Christine re Livestock
Guardians, Versatility, carting etc but again that "time frame!!"


Tracy, do you have any info on where videos can be ordered from please? I
know it's Jane Harvey at Rangeaire Videos in Vic Australia.
