<p>Hello Shirley, Cathryn Mellersh at the Animal Health Trust is about to begin a research program into bloat, it is the first program that focuses on the genetic aspect of the condition, with the hope that a DNA marker can be found, the breed clubs have raised the first £15,000 for the first stage. A questionairre is going out soon to all Irish Setter owners which hopefully you will receive, but in your case, because of the work done at the Dick, it could be valuable to capture this…</p>
<p>Hello Shirley, Cathryn Mellersh at the Animal Health Trust is about to begin a research program into bloat, it is the first program that focuses on the genetic aspect of the condition, with the hope that a DNA marker can be found, the breed clubs have raised the first £15,000 for the first stage. A questionairre is going out soon to all Irish Setter owners which hopefully you will receive, but in your case, because of the work done at the Dick, it could be valuable to capture this information now. It would be really good if you would contact Bryan McLaughlin <a href="mailto:bryan.mclaughlin@aht.org.uk" rel="nofollow">bryan.mclaughlin@aht.org.uk</a> at the AHT to enrole Sophie & Missy in the program, if you could also contact the breeder of your two girls to get their cooperation in getting DNA from related dogs that would be a great help too. Many thanks, Rosie</p> Kirstie,

<p>I found it really easy to get cover for Bess. I'm with LV and am currently paying £15 a month! I know it will go up (and up!!) but at the moment it's very reasonable. I didn't have any trouble because she's an IS.</p>

Hi Kirstie pleased to see you have made your decision on your Irish puppy, name is perfect too. Bracken was kept on by his breeder as a show dog and we had him at 1 year old. Lena was also kept on by her breeders for showing. But we were so heart broken at losing our lovely first rescue Toby and also a 5 year old Bridie within weeks of each other, that they entrusted Lena to us.<br></br>

Enjoy Seamus and do not worry too much about bloat, we do not feed dogs after they have had a run for 1 hour or so and again no exercise for a good while after feeding. I am sure you will have already received all the advice you need.
