Announcing Updated Canine Core Vaccine Recommendations | In a significant move, veterinary health authorities have updated the core vaccine recommendations for dogs to now include the leptospirosis vaccine. This update is particularly important for dog breeders, who play a crucial role in the health and well-being of future generations of dogs. | | | Autosomal Dominant Conditions in Dogs | Autosomal dominant conditions in dogs are genetic disorders that occur due to a variant in a single copy of a gene located on one of the autosomes (non-sex chromosomes). Because these conditions are dominant, only one parent needs to pass the defective gene to their offspring for the condition to manifest. This can make managing these conditions in breeding programs particularly challenging, but with informed decisions, breeders can mitigate risks and promote healthier canine populations. | | | Breeder Spotlight: Laura Jane Stewart and Noah Hines of Three Oaks Farmdogs | Laura Jane Stewart and her son, Noah Hines, are the owners of Three Oaks Farmdogs in Raleigh, North Carolina.

These plugs seal the damaged vessel until a more permanent and structurally sound repair can be made. But what if there aren't enough platelets to do the job? Abnormal bleeding would occur as everyday scrapes and bumps occur, and catastrophic bleeding could happen if a large wound or surgical incision were created. | | | A good way to make sure your dogs have plenty of fresh water is always welcome, especially in the summer months.
