Remy's brother, Laurelhach Encrypt, was not at the show
as he is now is Germany living with the Muskat family (Sundowner's).
He has settled in and is enjoying life where he will learn many new disciplines with Uli, Gina and Kim.
My lovely message from them when they finally got their long awaited wish to have him join their home.
Sometimes in
life you recognise that there is no life without something you lost your heart
to...
For us it's the Gordon Setter.
We met Moon in summer and we directly fell in love with this dog. It's not only his beauty that kept our hearts but his fantastic character.
He is a Gordon Setter with a BIG heart, with a fabulous and lovely nature who adores all, dogs, humans and all on this earth.
His fearless attitude will make him a challenge and we adore challenges.
We're looking forward to a gorgeous future with him on our side.
Thanks to Frances Boxall who gave us another Laurelhach, thank you so much for this gorgeous fella. Our Moon
Frances, we so much know what he means to you
He is one very special Gordon Setter, he casts a spell on all he meets and part of my heart is now in Germany.
Both the Muskat family and myself are very excited about his future.

PS Not long after we arrived home I had a call from my vet..........
an emergency blood donor dog was required, did I have a non show dog that could be clipped aged between 1 and 8 years and could I help?
No says me but I offered a current show dog so off Link and I went and he was a star, first time, very relaxed about the whole thing but did decline the biscuit offered after the collection. :):)
so next time you see him with a large bald place on his neck you know why and hopefully he has helped save a life of a much loved dog.

4th February
Exciting news from the AHT regarding the research into finding a gene
for late onset PRA in the breed
Identification of Mutation for Progressive Retinal Atrophy in the Gordon Setter
A mutation responsible for the development of Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) in the Gordon Setter has been identified by geneticists working in the Kennel Club Genetics Centre at the Animal Health Trust. PRA is a well-recognised inherited condition that many breeds of dog are predisposed to. The condition is characterised by bilateral degeneration of the retina which causes progressive vision loss that culminates in total blindness. There is no treatment for PRA.Owners report that their affected dogs develop night blindness in the first instance, which is indicative of a rod-cone degeneration, so we have termed this mutation rcd4 (for rod-cone degeneration 4) to distinguish it from other, previously described, forms of rod-cone degeneration. The mutation is recessive and 19 out of the 21 Gordon Setters in our study that had clinical signs of PRA were homozygous (carried two copies) for this mutation, indicating it is the major cause of PRA in the breed. Two dogs in our study had PRA but did not carry the rcd4 mutation, indicating there might be another, genetically distinct, rarer form of PRA segregating in this breed. The Animal Health Trust has developed a DNA test for the rcd4 mutation that will be available from Monday 14th March, 2011. DNA test kits will be available to order online, via our website (www.aht.org.uk) from March 14th. The price of the test will be £48 per sample, which includes VAT. The research that led to identification of the rcd4 mutation was funded by many different organisations, including the Kennel Club Charitable Trust, the British Gordon Setter Club, the Gordon Setter Field Trial Society, the Gordon Setter Association, the Gordon Setter Club of Scotland and the LUPA project (www.eurolupa.org.uk) as well as several individuals who have also contributed significantly. The AHT would like to thank sincerely all the organisations and individuals who donated funds to help support the research as well as all the owners who contributed DNA and information from their dogs.
