March 5: S Wales & Mon Cocker Ch Show. Siani won her two classes under judge, Mr M Parkinson.
February 23: We received the good news from Optigen that Ruby (Sh Ch Shenmore Sun Flower JW) has tested as A1. Pattern A1 dogs are statistically normal for prcd-PRA and are not expected to develop prcd-PRA or this disease or pass it to offspring. No known Pattern A1 dog has developed prcd-PRA or produced prcd-PRA-affected offspring, and no known prcd-PRA-affected dog has tested Pattern A1.

Significance for breeding: Pattern A1 dogs can be bred to any dog and, with at least 99.5% confidence, will not produce pups affected by the prcd form of PRA (prcd-PRA is the most common form of PRA seen in Cockers)
