Long post so please read to the bottom for Wheaten information:

It's Giving Tuesday and the day each year when the SCWTCA Endowment, a Wheaten Health Endowment has its annual fundraising drive. We know you are asked to give to many charities on Giving Tuesday but we hope that you will consider supporting Wheaten Health this year.

As 2024 approaches and 2023 is behind us It seems that the days flew by. Looking into the future, with the start of the new year, we remain dedicated, enthusiastic and optimistic in fulfilling our mission to support and fund Wheaten health and research projects. We know that each day brings us new challenges in the preservation of our breed and we are committed
to supporting owners and responsible breeders through our work.

Thank you for your continued support of the SCWTCA Endowment and the SCWT Health and Pedigree Database. We are pleased to provide you with our 2023 Winter Newsletter.

About Us: the Endowment began raising funds and supporting research. In our first 23 years, we provided research funding in excess of $300,000 to multiple projects. You can read more about our current research and past research funding at www.scwtcaendowment.org

We are particularly delighted that our contributions to research into the genetics of PLN brought about the discovery of variant alleles associated with PLN and an easy method of testing. This test has been used by thousands of breeders worldwide since its introduction in 2012 and the careful use by responsible breeders has resulted in the reduction of the number of dogs at a higher risk for becoming affected.

We have also focused on creating a financially stable base in order to quickly meet research needs that any future health issues might require.

As part of our mission, we also provide owners and breeders with tools and information to manage their Wheatens’ health. A significant effort is the creation and management of the SCWT Database that contains information on over 100,000 current and past Wheatens worldwide. All pure bred SCWT's are invited to enter their Wheatens. www.scwtdb.org

We are grateful for the support of the Wheaten community. We encourage you to review our work here on our website and hope that you will join our mission to help all Wheatens live healthier lives.

I kept a puppy for a friend, and she brought along her pup’s favorite toy. I washed it while he was here. After the puppy went home, my friend ask me about washing dog toys. I use baking soda and white vinegar dissolved in a basin and soak the toys and scrub any stains then rinse, rinse, rinse. Wheatens can be tough on toys, but often there is one favorite stuffy that the pup/dog loves that we patch and wash so it can be loved more. Here is an article about washing dog toys!

Your dog loves his toys. But in the process of loving his dog toys, chances are he’s getting them filthy. Whether it’s carrying a Plush Toy around in his mouth, dragging his Fetch Toys through the mud, or slobbering all over his Tug Toy...
