Silverhill will not be having any litters this year. The girl we were hoping to breed had an area of concern on her Echocardiagram so while the vet did not rule out breeding her, we discussed it and it was agreed that she should come back for another ECHO in 6 months, to see if there were any changes. We will post any upcoming litters from other breeders that we can recommend, that might have puppies available.

So proud of Scout (Keeper x Kelly). Christine and Scout just re-qualified for Therapy work. In the past they have done therapy visits in the Children’s Hospital and also in court with children who have to testify. Now, they will also be qualified as a CARE team, working in Disaster situations with FEMA and the Red Cross, providing comfort to people who have been in the Disaster situations.

Cancer, especially Hemangiosarcoma, is a serious threat to our beloved Golden Retrievers. Usually, we have no idea that they are sick until it is too late. This test is just a simple blood draw that can let you know early if your dog has Hemangiosarcoma or Lymphoma.

The easy-to-use, cost-effective tool, which will be offered through the Texas A&M Gastrointestinal Lab, represents a significant development in veterinary medicine.

Great article on puppy bone growth and development. It explains why early spay/neuter increases likelihood of joint problems and appropriate exercise for a puppy. https://www.animal-mrt.com/blog/post/21701/Exercises-for-Young-Dogs/

I have recently been getting a few young dogs coming in for AMRT sessions for arthritic changes and joint pain. So, I decided to do a newsletter ‘series’ for dogs that will include exercises and care
