Auction of Memorabilia

Wednesday, 13 July 2011 15:50

An Auction of Dandie Memorabilia was held at the Southern Dandie Dinmont Championship Show on Sunday 18 September 2011 to help raise money for club funds. The venue was Cricklade Village Hall, Cricklade, near Swindon, Wiltshire, SN6 6AE

The Auction was held during the lunch hour with Paul Keevil kindly acting as "auctioneer". It certainly added to the entertainment of the day and also managed to raise £273 for club funds. Many thanks to all who donated items and also to those who bought!

We hope to make this a regular event so if you fall into the “cluttered house category” and want to help the club and clear your house at the same time, then why not pass on your surplus Dandie Memorabilia to Mark Wheeler so that it can be auctioned too!

SDDTC Rescue and Welfare

Wednesday, 13 July 2011 11:24

Southern Dandie Rescue & Welfare have, at present, a Dandie bitch called Daisy for adoption. Daisy is a 3 years old, mustard, not yet spayed, good with children and other dogs, very clean and well behaved. Her owner has been made redundant and has to move to a flat without her, so she is in rescue through no fault of her own.

If anyone is interested in giving Daisy a home please contact Glen Tinsley.

Glaucoma is among the leading causes of blindness both in humans and in dogs. Glaucoma is defined by elevation of the intraocular pressure. Glaucoma can be hereditary or secondary due to some other ocular disease. Using a genome-wide mapping approach with canine-specific markers we have identified a novel glaucoma locus to CFA8 in Dandie Dinmont Terrier dog breed (DDT) with a late-onset disease. The overall associated region is large covering about 10 Mb of sequence but fine-mapping narrows the best haplotype to a 2 Mb critical region. Our ongoing re-sequencing efforts of the entire locus aim to identify the causative mutation, which may help us to understand the genetic background of glaucoma across species. The identified locus maps to a syntetic region previously associated with human glaucoma too.
