We have recently in accordance with Kennel Club guidelines set up a sub committee to help Lynda Race monitor and aid in any issues involving the health and well being of our wonderful breed.
The health sub committee is Dagmar Kenis-Pordham, Clare Boggia, Andrew Mackenzie and Julie Mackenzie.
**********************************************
The Greyhound Club, together with Nottingham University would like your help with important research into bloat (GD/GDV).
It is well accepted that Greyhounds can suffer episodes of bloating, but currently unknown which factors significantly influence its onset.
We will shortly be conducting a survey, which we intend to launch at the Club championship show in July. This will be asking about the general health of your dogs, feeding practices and details about any episodes of bloating that you have experienced.
The questionnaire will be linked to the Health Section of the GC website (www.thegreyhoundclubuk.co.uk) and can either be completed on line, or by paper survey for those who don't have internet access.
All information is provided anonymously. Completed forms will be returned directly to Dr Mark Dunning, School of Veterinary Medicine and Science, University of Nottingham, Sutton Bonington, Leicestershire.
Please give a few minutes of your time to complete the survey - this is extremely important research that can surely benefit our breed in the future.

We would like to thank Katie and Nicole from The University of Bristol for attending our October Open Show. They are doing research for a Greyhound Dental Project. They took swabs from the mouths of volunteer Greyhounds to check for dental disease.
