Attention Chihuahua Club Of America Members

  The Chihuahua Health Related Issues Committee is pleased to offer a series of DVD's from the AKC/Canine Health Foundation's 2007 Philadelphia Breeders' Symposium.  Our Friends at Nestle Purina PetCare have been kind enough to allow us to duplicate them for you, the club members.  They contain seminars on topics such as Canine Cardiac Disease, Assisted Reproduction, and Vaccinations: Less Is More!, and other topics.  This is an excellent venue in which to learn about sound breeding practices and genetic health testing, that helps our dogs to live happier, healthier and longer lives. They can also be used as an educational program for your local chihuahua clubs.  Please visit the Chihuahua Health Related Issues Booth over the October Specialty week-end to obtain your set.  (Limit one set per household).

 Donations Will Gladly Be Accepted.

There will also be a Cardiac Clinic offered at our Specialty, and an AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluation. Proceeds will go to the CCA Chihuahua Health Related Issues Fund.
